MDX ! - mIRC Discussion Forums

is there ANY detailed or atleast quality tutorial on MDX?

ok then help me in some steps :tongue:

like this error:

* /dll: unable to open 'D:\mirc\SetControlMDX'

what does it cant find ?
some dll or some control ?

and how to fix paths if this is code:
dll $mdx SetControlMDX $dname
and its not in mirc main folder?

That error has nothing to do with MDX itself, you're simply not passing a filename to the /dll command (which means your $mdx alias doesn't exist.)

does mdx alias must be with every dialog given
or just once (as in general like mirc alias) ???

It just has to return a path to mdx.dll. That's all.

okay, i found mdx alias and fixed it
and it doesnt show an all mdx dialogs that
but on some altho mdx alias is good

and i get this too

* /dll: unable to open 'D:\mirc\SetFont'

why ??

these are all MDX alias i found:

Code:

  
alias mdx return $shortfn($findfile($mircdirsystem\dlls\,mdx.dll,1))
alias views return $shortfn($findfile($mircdirsystem\dlls\,views.mdx,1))
alias _mdx.SetControlMDX { var %parms = $2- &gt; system\dlls\ $+ $1 | return $dll(system\dlls\mdx.dll,SetControlMDX,%parms) }
alias _mdx.SetFont return $shortfn($findfile($mircdirsystem\dlls\,mdx.dll,1))

all my mdx files are in ..mirc\system\dlls

It is still not returning anything. Why all of the $findfiles anyway? Just use a hardcoded path or use $mircdirsystem\dlls\mdx.dll

i dont know =)
i didnt made the script lol
i'm just trying to get help from anyone to help me
make it simplier and compatible for XP now (mdx)

so i would apreaciate any good info (for noob)
regarding this mdx stuff since i cant find any detailed tutorial
on it :tongue:

The problems you are having have NOTHING to do with mdx. You don't need a tutorial on mdx. The problems are because mIRC cannot find mdx since you are not giving it a valid path. You have to fix the aliases to return the correct path to mdx.dll, otherwise the /dll command will try to use a nonexistant dll (D:\mirc\setfont like it has been doing.)

Of course if you want to learn how to use mdx yourself I'm not stopping you but I wouldn't advise trying to learn it until you understand the basics of mIRC.

I'm not sure but I think you need
$mircdir $+ \system\dlls\,mdx.dll,1
you may not need the $+ but I think there needs to be a space $mircdir and system

i have this aliases (fixed some crap)

alias mdx return $shortfn($mircdirsystem\dlls\mdx.dll)
alias views return $shortfn($mircdirsystem\dlls\views.mdx)
alias SetControlMDX $shortfn($mircdirsystem\dlls\mdx.dll)
alias SetFont return $shortfn($mircdirsystem\dlls\mdx.dll)

when i do echo i get this:
D:\mirc\system\dlls\mdx.dll

so path is valid !
and when i run some dialogs i AGAIN get errors:

* /dll: unable to open 'D:\mirc\SetFont'
* /dll: unable to open 'D:\mirc\SetControlMDX'

so is mirc joking me or dll jokes mirc or....

Then the dialog is NOT using /dll $mdx ..., it is using something else.

You can connect things onto the end of most $*dir identifiers ($mp3dir, $logdir, $mircdir, $scriptdir)

for SetFont error

Code:

 
on 1:dialog:quits:init:*: {
  mdx.start 
  mdx.set icon 12 system\domin.icl
  dll $mdx SetFont $dname 1 12 1 verdana 
  dll $mdx SetFont $dname 3 12 2 verdana 
  dll $mdx SetFont $dname 4 12 3 verdana
...

for SetControl

Code:

 
on 1:dialog:news:init:*: {
  mdx.start | mdx.set icon 13 system\domin.icl
  dll $mdx SetControlMDX $dname 2 ListView headerdrag report rowselect flatsb showsel nosortheader single &gt; $views 
  did -i $dname 2 1 header @70:1,60,266 Date $chr(9) Time chr(9) New
  dll $mdx SetFont $dname 2 12 1 verdana 
  dll $mdx SetFont $dname 1 12 1 verdana
...

so it does use /dll $mdx :P

Then you have another $mdx alias somewhere (which may be local to that file.)

This sort of thing would be a lot easier to help you with if you'd written it yourself. Perhaps you should ask whoever wrote it for help instead.

script was abandoned in year 2001

webpage is dead
forums are dead

ah well
tnx for helping me, sorry for whole mess :P
i'll try find some mdx aliases

You could try asking on a scripting website as well. I realise this website helps with scripts but it doesn't support addons and such, so you'll probably fare better asking on somewhere like mirc.net or mircscripts.org.

well i found another mdx alias

Code:

  
alias mdx if ($lock(dll)) return | if ($isid) return $dll($mdx.udll,$1,$iif($2- != $null,$2-,.)) | dll $shortfn($mdx.udll) $1-

but the moment i remove it, my control pannel
gives all icons in list vertically...

i would rather use DCX but since no tutorial being made
i think some people are let to die :P
