I suggest adding a new property ".picfile" for the identifier $toolbar() that will return the path to the picture file used as the toolbar button icon.


Syntax: $toolbar(name/N).picfile

Return: images\ico\picfile.ico


Note: This can only work if the button was created/added by the user himself using the command /toolbar -a, where he specified the path to the external picture file.

Hello.
Because I use to set some aliases using script editor (ie: f12 /clerall) , now I'd like to add some buttons on toolbar and associate to a command.
This is my actual toolbar:

[img]https://ibb.co/8g3z4qXJ[/img]

And this is what I mean:

[img]https://ibb.co/4nZsBcQF[/img]

And so give to any Italian flag (or any flag.png) a different command.
Is it possible?
I tried using /toolbar -a CLEAR /clearall but I get----> /toolbar: insufficient parameters
What am I missing?
Thanks

I'm trying to understand how to properly set (and write) a kick/BAN focusing on mask using IF / ELSEIF
This is a mask sample ---> pippo is paperino!pluto@123.456.789.100

pippo = nick
paperino = real_name
pluto = ident
123.456.789.100 = host

For example this on join:


In this case kick/ban takes HOST (123.456.789.100). Right?
What if I wish to add an option also for REAL NAME or IDENT?


Any help will be appreciated

I use mIRC as a third-party client for IRCCloud on two computers. Sometimes IRCCloud randomly disconnects me on both computers, and when mIRC reconnects, Libera disconnects me due to "Excess flood", over and over again. I have to shut down mIRC on at least one of my computers to stop the cycle. I'm currently on about 27 channels on Libera. I tried setting the reconnect delay to 60 seconds on one of the computers, it doesn't help. I have no idea what's causing this or how to solve it. I'm pretty sure I currently have no "perform" scripts for Libera on either of the computers.

I don't remember if I've suggested this feature before, but if I did, it was a long time ago and nothing was done. =p

I think the URLs list (that mIRC captures from channels, etc.) would be a lot more useful if each URL showed the channel and the nick or hostmask that posted the URL, and preferably if you could filter by channel and/or nick/hostmask, too.

Being able to filter by domain/subdomain might be good, too.

Oh, and the choice of inclusion or exclusion filters could be good.

Hello, I noticed there're users who join in my channel with badword included in mask.
Example:

NICK is BADWORD@etc.....

Is possible to have an addon that kick/ban an user who use BADWORD in its mask?
Thanks

Hi, someone told me /script should show me what script file and .ini files my mirc have read and using, and its should be built comamnd from start, /script unkown command is that a normal behavour or I miss something here ?

//fir3fox

Hello,
I tried to make a script but when I tried not to produce special whois only on the query without having to display anywhere either the status channel or any but had to be query only query

There is the option to fill spaces for sending files, could you add the option to remove underscores when receiving files? I have a script to do just that, but I help a lot of users who get confused with scripts. Thanks!

Services in regards to this post are the package that contains Nickserv, chanserv, etc. It does not come with an IRCd.

Title says it all. Been working for the last week or so deploying an IRC server with services. I cant tell you how many challenges i ran into trying to get it to run. it was such a wild ride with obsticales at every corner. I have worked in IT Administration for over 20 years and like all challenges regarding technology- i don't tire easy. I met this task head on, spent days of work with failed results but learned every step of the way.

I started with inspircd and got that running fairly smoothly. It was installed on debian vps and went through the entire config file line by line (1000+ lines) and fully configured it to my liking. I started researching the different service offerings (Atheme, Anope, etc) and thought i diddnt need much, so i settled on the ChatServices package. My research indicated it should work with inspircd but no matter what i did, i could not get either of them to communicate. I spent two days (~12+ hours) trying to get these two working together. It felt like i was repeatedly slamming my head into a wall, nothing worked.

I enabled debug logging in inspircd and anope and really dug in to try and sort out the issue but now, simple things were breaking. It wouldn't log anything, connections were being refused and then accepted and then refused. Config files had permission issues. I was going down rabbit holes and hyper focusing on issues that likely had no relation to the real problems i was having. Then i had a thought, DOCKER! There has to be a docker container with anope and IRC linked, out of the box, ready to go.

Nope! You can find containers with anope and inspircd or unrealircd but they lack config files and seem like test grounds for the users. I spent another day playing with different docker containers and never found anything that proved useful. although, i did learn a good bit about docker (something prior to this i had very little experience with).

Ive now reinstalled my server 10 or so times and have come up with a plan. Ill go with unrealIRC and anope, the two most widely implemented services. Ill install them directly to the machine and use a standard user account for both. instead of modifying config files with nano, i switched to sftp and modified them on my local machine (some formatting issue was preventing logging earlier). Finally, things were starting to work out. I ran into a silly issue while trying to get services working (anope) - but turned out to be me mismatching the ports each expected to connect too. I discovered the issue, changed the port number and tried one final time to launch both softwares - UREKA! They connected!

I spent the better part of two days working through the different config files and studying the documentation on both softwares. Ensuring best practices and considering encryption methods for security, etc. I now have a full fledged IRC network running Anope Services offering standard connections and TLS Encrypted connections.

This felt like a huge accomplishment to me, every bit of documentation i read warned me the task would not be easy. I was steadfast and headstrong and came out with a server running smoothly. I know it sounds silly, but as a young kid who used IRC alot, a small bit of me has always wanted to run my own IRC server. So screw the influence content creators, i just want some people to idle with me and pat my back on my sucess.

Feel free to ask questions. The server adheres to IRCv3 standards. all passwords are hashed with sha2. the TLS connection is signed with a lets encrypt certificate.

TLDR- I worked really hard to create an IRC server, something I have always wanted to do since i was very young. I have over 20 years IT experience. I want some people to come hang out in the IRC server.

Hi Khaled,

I would like to ask if it would be possible to add back the Add to Favorites function... removed since version 7.69 from the Favorites menu.



Several users talk to me and say that this function is useful to directly add the active channel, without having to open the Favorites dialog and having to add it manually.

Thank you

Good morning.
I am an English to Italian translator and I am currently translating this program into Italian but the thing is that I was able to get the language dll file but it is bugged since there are parts that still remain in english and on top of that some voices are missing. Is it possible to have the best dll file so that I can complete this job? Thank you

Hi everybody.
What is the most easy way (maybe thee're more than one) to customize dialogs style in mIRC 7.79? I mean background, font, etc...
I read about Stardust200 but doesn't work on Win10.
Thanks

I found an addon that on nick join/nick change , check the nick and if a nick has a badword receive a kick:


I wish it to check a file badnick.txt, so no need to add a lot of words in addon. Something like:


What do You think?
Thanks

I just downloaded the latest update for mIRC (i use this daily). I can not say how thankful i am to now have a dark mode supported on win 11. It is truly softer on the eyes and that helps me a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Are there any networks with a non-client way to suppress all join/part messages in every channel always?

It would be nice if $window().pbstate & $window().pbpercent was extended to support dcc windows via:

The code i'm using already has the wid & this would save me having to figure out which wid is a which dcc.

8 Autojoin=#chaco-corrientes,#paranachat

alias con {
var %i = 1
while (%i <= 15) {
echo -a %i $read(config.ini,%i)
inc %i
}
}

i want add some chanel to autojoin
how i do it?

please help

When changing the "Light theme" to a "Dark theme", becomes much more visible the difference in the thickness of the channel window divider between the nicklist, and the thickness of the channel window divider between the editbox. Perfectionists will experience daily pain and suffering.

I propose to equalize them by reducing the thickness of the divider between the channel window and the nicklist so that it is identical to the thickness of the divider between the channel window and the editbox.


Visual example:

    

Since the recent beta contains a Windows 10/11 specific (and experimental) dark theme, I was wondering if that also paves the way for other functions that are specific to certain Windows versions only.

I've had a little DLL project called mircThumbBar (also m7rc, since I made it back with Windows 7) for the longest time, so I can play/pause and prev/next my MP3 player even when mIRC is in the background.
I had my fair share of issues with it, but got something working and have been using it for over 15 years at this point. It looks like this:


This uses the Thumbnail Toolbar API from the ITaskbarList3 interface (and some maybe not-so-nice redirecting of the mIRC WndProc to get events back to me). Regular $dll calls to prepare the list, then finally display it. Memory mapped file for the back-channel so I can react to clicks by calling one of my functions/aliases.

I'm not too sure about a command sequence though. Those three buttons on top are three AddButton calls followed by a CreateButtons call (basically: Queue up buttons, set their properties, then trigger the toolbar creation/modification). Later, I use SetButtonIcon/SetButtonFlags and UpdateButtons to (queue and then) make changes; for example when I pause/play and want to change the image.
Maybe as part of /window, perhaps as a new /thumbbar command? To test (and read), accompanying $window (or $thumbbar) identifiers? I can totally see this work without the CreateButtons/UpdateButtons calls, but I feel like I overengineered this to optimize how often I have to call the ITaskbarList3 methods...not to mention that I took a few shortcuts and didn't implement things I didn't need, like RemoveButton/ClearButtons.
There's other Vista/7+ functions for augmenting and interacting with the taskbar, but I feel like those buttons are the most useful ones here. Doing nothing (or returning an error) for Windows versions that don't support the functionality should be fairly easy to do, but at this point none of them are really in support anymore.

Microsoft published a sample project, and my code is here in this Gist.

...and I would like to translate (localize) mIRC into Italian.

I suggest improving the script editor and making it a clickable path to folder, so that it is in the form of a link and when you click on it, the folder with the script opens.
It would be much more convenient if, when editing a script, you could immediately go to the folder of this script to create additional working files.

Visual example:

    

Good evening. Is there an addon or a way to know how many times a NICK (i.e. PIPPO) parted and joined from a channel? Of course I mean since I joined in that same channel.
Thanks
