Scripters want mircscripting Compiler for win32 and UNIX ! :P

mirc isnt made for unix. mirc scripts arnt compiled either, they are plain text open source

i know, i say than we want mircscripting code compiler

What for?

There are more, but I lost motivation. Just to perhaps save you the trouble, general consensus is no compiler.

he well just still want it regardless, i think its better to say way he cant have it (then hes stuffed and cant ask for it again).

like you cant compile this...

alias DOTHIS { $1- }

Well you could but it would be an the intire interpretor in it.

Here is a solution: go learn a REAL programming language, and make your own compiler.

make your own compiler? or do you mean compile your own code?

No, use a real programming language, such as C++. Then you can compile your code.

im learning C++ right now:) i would like to thank Khaled for making mIRC Script so close to C++, its so easy to understand C++ now that i know some of the more basic mirc script stuffs

there is most probably already one about somewhere, i doubt khaled is the only person who could make a compiler..
although if i ever came across one i probably wouldn't trust it.

you can always program in machine code and not have to compile ya code <grin>

* KingTomato glares at DaveC, Assembly?
* KingTomato Grins

no worse, assembly still needs to be compiled,
out right machine code, just a hex editor, and alot of time to correct all the jump and data refrences each time you change the code.

Oh my that must have been fun to do back in the stoneages.

a compiler would be great though, i've wanted to make proper programs for ages, c++ is too hard, vb is simple but my compiler doesn't work properly;\

mIRC scripting is for mIRC only...
it's not meant to build programs in, and it's much much slower and less stable then normal languages like c++ or vb.

this has been discussed many times before, and it's still a worthless idea imho ;-]

mIRC is an irc client, but somehow a scripting language got implemented...
it has been brought up many times because a lot of people want it.
if khaled were to say "it will never happen", then i'm sure everyone would give up asking, but every feature has a chance of getting implemented.

there is a mirc script compiler

from memory you can find it at www.mirc.com

and im pretty sure its called mirc.exe

it compiles one line at a time and executes that line.

Pretty clever considering a line could be being made up within the script itself, so cant be compiled before hand.

aren't you funny..

he has a point there though that makes a copiler kinda hard: constantly changing text.
why on earth would you want one? if ppl compile their code, can you guess how hard it would be to check it for malicious code?
seriously. i ran a 37kb bot and it parsed faster on my 400 mhz machine than other clients with smaller bots and faster computers. we forget: mirc isnt for scripting. its for chatting. scripting is just an added feature.
