Forums Scripts & Popups Popups

i used to have the 3.0 version of mIRC and there were cute popups available by right clicking on the open window.. now i have the 6.0 version and cant get it to work.. is it gone? or am i doing it wrong? :tongue:

post a part of your code

I can only guess, but i think you downloaded a file from the net, and that file was called somthing.mrc .. if this is the case, then copy that file to your mirc folder, then type: /load -rs file.mrc .. then see if its there..

Any files from that long ago are unlikely to work without major modifications. The scripting language has changed significantly since them, you can post it here and hopefully someone can modify it for you.

I dont belive that popups changed that much.. so i dont think it needs to be modifyed, popups still are like:

Slap:/me slaps $1 around with a big fish.

so dont think he need to paste the code here.

If they're basic popups they may be ok, for the most part plain text ones should still work. A lot has changed since then though, colors were introduced in 4.6, $read has had many changes made, even if statements are quite a bit different. Not to mention the availability of $style(), dynamic popups using $iif() and $submenu. You're right, I suppose they may not need changes to be made, but it certainly couldn't hurt to optimize them using todays coding options.

oxy_babe: you may need to just load them: /help /load
you'll need to use the -p switch and the appropriate sub section. I'm not sure how much the file format has changed since then, if all else fails, post it here and we can convert it into a remote file with menu prefixes and a .mrc file extension (instead of the outdated .ini.)
