Is there a known guide for how to script using version 4.72 or earlier? Sometime around the mid-1990s, mIRC changed scripting style/syntax to a more 'programmer' style with brackets and such instead of one-liner ON JOINs and such. I come from mIRC 4.72 (16 bit) era and prefer it over any of the newer and thus newer scripting styles in use.
I was pretty sure the proper syntax for 4.72 was something like:
1:ON JOIN:nickname:#channel:/msg $nick hello $nick ....or
1:ON TEXT:hello:#channel:/msg $chan hello $nick .....etc
but I can't get anything to run properly, even with Listening ticked on.
close.
1:ON JOIN:#CHANNEL:/msg $chan (or $nick) Hello, $nick
1:ON TEXT:hello*:#CHANNEL:/msg $chan (or $nick) Hello Yourself!
I have a copy of the mirc.hlp from 4.72
Here if you'd like to read through it.
