Forums Feature Suggestions Channel Central

My suggestion is just an improvement to the channel central dialog giving it more control over a channel. For example, I've made a replacement for the channel central in my script which contains tabs for flooding, spamming, swearing, etc., I've also added a few extra modes such as +G, +R, +C. I know this is all easily scriptable, but it's also slower, especially in the case of the flood protection.

Well the thing with +G +C and +R is they are not available on all servers, and they don't always do the same thing on all servers. For example, some servers use +C as "no colors" others use it as "no CTCPs", but nonetheless I would support adding new modes, just in a different way. Something like a "channel central" section of alt+o where you can define additional modes present on networks, like

Network: DALnet
[Add Mode]

Clicking add mode prompts you to enter the mode letter, say R, and then a description "only registered nicks may join", a checkbox of whether the mode accepts a parameter. For the big networks, mIRC could have a builtin method of storing their additional modes so that for example for DALnet you wouldn't have to add +R, because mIRC would know to do it on its own.

A long time ago (about a year and a half ago) this was suggested. I distinctly remember Khaled replying saying mIRC would display the Channel Central dialog according to the server type (i.e. IRCd, IRCX) in a future version. Nothing seemed to have became of it yet, though.

The best thing to do here is make your own channel central that is taylored to the network you use. I did this and it works well. 2300 lines of code later I had a channel central with features that I know for a fact that no IRC programme could ever support.
