Changing the default channels\ dir - mIRC Discussion Forums

Is there a way to change the default 'channels' directory created by mIRC when run? I know you can change the dir for sounds, logs etc, but there's no line in mirc.ini that seems to even contain the word 'channels'.
Is there a tag that is not included in the original .ini that you can use?

I don't think you can, I tried renaming the folder but to no avail. I think your best bet would be to reinvent the wheel. By that I mean making your own Channels List window. Isn't too hard to accomplish.

You could use something like this as an example:

Code:

alias list {
  window -lC @CList -1 -1 687 547
  if ($window(@CList)) clear $v1
  list $1-
  window -h "Channels List"
}

menu @CList {
  Join Channel:join $gettok($sline(@CList,1),1,32)
  Show Users: names $gettok($sline(@CList,1),1,32)
  -
  Set Directory: set %cdir $$sdir=" Select Channels List Directory "
  -
}

Raw 322:*: {
  aline @CList $2 $str($chr(9),3) $3 $chr(9) $4-
  write $+($iif(%cdir,%cdir,$mircdirchannels),$server,.txt) $2-
}

It can be improved a heck of a lot but I'm feeling fatigued right now, maybe someone else can clean it up a little or provide a better example.

I don't need a channel window. It was more just to remove it from my directory since it's useless to my script. My script basically just uses sockopen/sockread to connect to a telnet MUD and hides most of the mIRC interface. I moved all the other required mirc dirs in a /irc/ folder so that it wouldn't confuse people using my script for mudding. But thx anyways.

Does /remove work with whole directories? I could use that on startup or something.

This should work

Code:

alias nochandir {
  if ( $isdir($mircdirchannels) ) {
    noop $findfile($mircdirchannels,*.*,0,remove $qt($1-))
    rmdir $mircdirchannels
  }
}

From the helpfile

Quote:

/rmdir <dirname>
Deletes the specified directory.
Note: If the directory contains files, it cannot be deleted.

thx alot!
