Hi, I need to know if there is any way that I can get a dcc chat session to be accepted, and can chat through that dcc session all through mIRC sockets. I have quite a bit of knowledge on mirc's sockets, but it seems that to get the socket to be accepted, I need the name of the socket...which is not available in a dcc chat.

Also I'm trying to do the reverse and start a dcc chat with somebody through sockets as well.

Anybody have any ideas?

You can do it pretty simply.

How it works, basically

Basically, it works in the following simple steps.

1. You send a message to nick with your IP and a free Port number.

2. You listen on that port number for a connection.

3. nick connects to that port.

4. You accept the connection.

..and thats it.

Opening a DCC Chat

[color:orange]; The main alias, syntax; /opensockdcc [color:red]nickname
[/color]
alias opensockdcc {
; variable to record number of port finding retries
var %r = 10
; while the port isnt free, and %r > 0, prevents flood.
while ((!$portfree(%p)) && (%r)) {
; get port number between X-Y, that are given in your mirc settings (def; 1024-5000)
var %p = $rand($gettok($readini($mircini,options,n4),13,44),$gettok($readini($mircini,options,n4),26,44))
; decrease the number of retries
dec %r
; end while loop
}
; if %r < 0, then we couldnt find free port, exit.
if (!%r) { echo -s FAILED; Could not assign port. | return }
; create sock name in var
var %s = $+(lis.sockdcc.,$1,.,%p)
; send DCC Chat protocol to $1
.notice $1 DCC CHAT ( $+ $ip $+ )
.msg $1 $+($chr(1),DCC CHAT chat,$chr(32),$longip($ip) %p)
; open the free port to listen for connection.
socklisten %s %p
; end alias
}
[/color]
Accepting the incoming response

[color:orange]; listen for incoming connection

On *:Socklisten:lis.sockdcc.*:{
; accept the connection
sockaccept $remove($sockname,lis.)
; echo to confirm
echo - Connected to DCC session.
; end sock listen
}
[/color]
Getting what they type.

[color:orange]; wait for sockread to trigger

On *:Sockread:sockdcc.*:{
; save content to variable
sockread %sockread
; output variable
echo Recieved: %sockread
; end sockread
}
[/color]
Typing back

[color:orange]; alias to send message, syntax, /sockmsg [color:red]nickname message
[/color]
alias sockmsg {
; complete the sockname (search for it)
var %s = $sock($+(sockdcc.,$1,.*),1)
; if doesnt exist, exit
if (!%s) { echo Cannot find chat. }
; otherwise, send your message to it.
else { sockwrite -n %s $2- }
; end alias
}
[/color]
End Session

[color:orange]; alias to end session, syntax, /sockend [color:red]nickname
[/color]
alias sockmsg {
; complete the sockname (search for it)
var %s = $sock($+(sockdcc.,$1,.*),1)
; if doesnt exist, exit
if (!%s) { echo Cannot find chat. }
; otherwise, close it.
else { sockclose %s }
; end alias
}
[/color]
/opendccsock [color:red]nickname[/color]

Then, to RECIEVE a DCC Chat, via sockets, and not using mIRCs default window/ect.

How it works

1. You recieve DCC request, that contains PORT/IP.

2. You connect to IP/Port.

3. ..thats it.

Recieving the DCC Request

The request comes in the form of a CTCP, so lets monitor them.

[color:orange]; monitor all ctcps.

ctcp *:*:*:{
; identify if its a dcc chat
if ($1-3 == DCC CHAT chat) {
; if so dream up a socket name.
var %s = $+(sockrcv.,$nick,.,$5)
; open that socket to the given ip/port.
sockopen %s $longip($4) $5
; stops mirc from responding by default
haltdef
; end if.
}
; end ctcp event.
}
[/color]
Receiving what was said..

[color:orange]; monitor incoming data from that socket

On *:Sockread:sockrcv.*:{
; save to variable
sockread %sockread
; output it.
echo -> $gettok($sockname,2,46) $+ ; %sockread
; end sockread
}
[/color]
With minor adjustments these both will work together without duplication of events being required, i.e. to close a socket, or send data..

Hope these help.
