hi, i have recently updated to mirc 6.31. i moved my custom scripts over and loaded them like i always have with previous versions, but none of them seem to work. any suggestions would be great.

When you updated, did you use the Update option in the installer?
If so, then there should've been no need to move anything, as your scripts would've still been recognized via the mirc.ini file (which wouldn't have been over-written)

If not, then that might explain the reason for the problem you're having. Fortunately mIRC automatically does an automatic back-up of your mIRC files. The back-ups are located in a sub-directory of your mIRC installation directory, that is called backups (genius thinking on that name.. )

Anyhow, I suggest that you restore your previous settings from the back-ups, ensure that all of your scripts and so on are working correctly with the restored version, then update using the Update option in the mIRC installer.

Hi, accually what i had done was backed up my scripts to a different folder, then uninstalled mirc and deleted the folder. then a reboot and installed the new mirc. then i moved my scripts back over and loaded them. alas it did not work. i have uninstalled and reinstalled again still with no luck. thanks for the tips.. if anyone else has any ideas, cause im all out.

for an update, i installed an older version of mirc, and my scripts work fine. So there must be something about 6.31 that does not agree with my scripts. Has there been changes to the way scripts are written in the new mirc? they seem to load fine (no errors pop up), but when u try to trigger any of them, nothing happens. again, any advice would be great

Do any of your scripts use dll's? If so, you might want to make sure that the dll(s) being used are up-to-date.

There aren't any major changes as to how scripts are being written, but some older dll's took advantage of security bugs in mIRC, which have now being fixed, so the older dll's don't work. Most (if not all) of the people that came out with the dll's have released updated dll's that work with mIRC 6.31

You stated that an older version of mIRC does work, so would you mind stating what version does work.. it might help us narrow down why the older version works and the newest one doesn't.

sure can, the older version is 6.21, just chose it because i just happened to have the install exe still on my comp. here is a sample of something that would not work, a very simple one liner, i would say it does not call upon any .dll files
0n *:text:!help:#:/msg $chan does this work?

Type this in any window and post the results:

//echo -a $remote

-genius_at_work

results from //echo -a $remote

does this help?

Try these two commands and post the results:



-genius_at_work

here are the results

- ALIASES -
C:\Documents and Settings\Bands\Application Data\mIRC\scripts\aliases.ini
- REMOTES -
C:\Documents and Settings\Bands\Application Data\mIRC\catch_notice.mrc
c:\mirc\script1.mrc

FYI the catch_notice.mrc is one of my scripts

i now have also noticed that i can not open links posted in channels. ill post more info as i come across it. I will try another clean install of mirc in the near future to see if it will work. my system has been acting strange lately, so might have something to do with that.. the scripts not working thou, i figured must have something to do with mirc itself.. ahh well.. agian any thoughts would be great.

There is a known bug with a cracked version of the mirc.exe that disables the use of hotlinks as a side-effect, among other things. You should definitely re-install mIRC (downloaded from mirc.com) and you should really run a virus scan too.

thx for info.. ill uninstall now and re dl from this site.

ok i dled the version from this website and now all is good. thx for all the help everyone.

This is why you shouldn't use hacked versions. Besides bugs that are only in those versions, you also risk getting viruses.

just wanted to thank everyone for the help solving my problem
