[06:22] <waqweq> SCRIPTER
[06:29] <rickcp> first lose the caps
[07:06] <Raccoon> i'm having my intertubes tied.
[08:02] <Mafaioz> Hey guys, i dont know what i did, but the chat with the bot i was talking a

[09:39] * SaisCysgu is now known as Sais
[10:07] * Lessy is now known as Bekar
[10:21] <mineurs> whats up
[10:22] <argv[0]> hi
[10:22] <mineurs> i'm having an issue doing this command in my script: set %money 8 + (%so
[10:22] <argv[0]> $calc()
[10:22] <cornflake> cause you need to use $calc
[10:22] <mineurs> oh thanks buddy
[10:22] <argv[0]> mirc doesnt automatically do math operations on data
[10:22] <mineurs> u are the man
[10:22] <argv[0]> %var = N + X is allowed
[10:22] <argv[0]> but only 1 operation
[10:23] <argv[0]> so its useless in your case
[10:23] <mineurs> lolz
[10:23] <mineurs> i'm such a noob
[10:24] <mineurs> my script is working nicely, i've almost got it complete
[10:25] <argv[0]> are you the wad conversion guy
[10:25] <mineurs> yup lolz
[10:25] <mineurs> its actually a .map to a .vmf
[10:26] <mineurs> hammer editor is being a dirty gypsy and will not load my decompiled .map f
[10:26] <mineurs> so i am forced to write a prog to convert the .map into usable vmf files
[10:26] <argv[0]> yea i realized last night you could do tokenize 32 %line | echo -a $2-4 $6-
[10:26] <mineurs> oh thats cool
[10:26] <mineurs> this is working just fine: $gettok($read(c:\bases.map,8),5,32)
[10:27] <argv[0]> right
[10:27] <argv[0]> but you dont want to use $read() for every gettok
[10:27] <mineurs> as i assumed there are multiple ways of doing things in mIRC script
[10:27] <argv[0]> or it will be REALLY slow
[10:27] <mineurs> good thinking
[10:27] <mineurs> i'll stores the line i $read into a var
[10:29] <mineurs> it actually zips though my 7000 line .map file pretty quick
[10:29] <mineurs> i could have done this in VB6 but then I would have to write my own tokeniz
[10:38] <cornflake> argv[0], what would you use then, other than $read?
[10:38] <argv[0]> nothing
[10:38] <argv[0]> but you dont want to read each line N times for all N tokens
[10:38] <argv[0]> just once
[10:59] <iancurt|s> jesus saves!
[10:59] <iancurt|s> oh hell sorry

[11:24] * cornflake slaps iancurt|s with a Love Will Tear Us Apart 12" Single
[12:16] <mineurs> whats happenin argv[0]
[12:16] <mineurs> i'm basically done with my script
[12:16] <mineurs> i appreciate the help, but i have one more issue to work out
[12:17] <mineurs> i don't want my script to get caught in an infinite loop, so how would i go
[12:17] <cornflake> ctrl break
[12:17] <argv[0]> er, no
[12:17] <mineurs> i'm using a var to keep track of my line number
[12:18] <argv[0]> if you loop over the lines, you can either check that %i <= $lines(%file
[12:18] <argv[0]> so if ($read.. == $null) { var %line = $v1 | ... | inc %i }
[12:18] <argv[0]> on a sidenote, /filter is a much faster way to iterate over files
[12:18] <mineurs> when i use $read on a line that is only "{"
[12:18] <argv[0]> with the -k callback
[12:19] <argv[0]> use $read with the n switch so mirc doesnt parse it as mirc commands
[12:19] <argv[0]> $read(file,n,%line)
[12:19] <mineurs> oh ok, thank you
[12:19] <mineurs> so use the n switch on every line with a $read
[12:19] <argv[0]> yea always
[12:19] <mineurs> sweet, didnt know about that
[12:20] <mineurs> i haven't done mirc scripting in years lol
[12:20] <mineurs> it seems i still got it
[12:20] <argv[0]> gotta run, you should be set with that
[12:20] <argv[0]> later
[12:20] <mineurs> excellent
[12:22] <Titan> is there a mod function in mirc?
[12:22] <cornflake> mod?
[12:22] <Bekar> what do you mean 'mod' function?
[12:22] <Titan> i am not quite sure the english term
[12:23] <Titan> in java i would do x%y=rest
[12:23] <Titan> ie divide number a with b and get what is left
[12:23] <Bekar> modulous.. $calc(3 % 2)
[12:23] <Titan> over
[12:23] <Titan> ahh thnx =)
[13:57] <MoIrc> what is a bot?
[13:57] <Kollektiv> a client with automated functions
[13:57] <MoIrc> like what?
[13:58] <Kollektiv> Like kicking spammers and flooders, opping people or keeping channel stat
[13:58] <MoIrc> opping?
[13:58] <MoIrc> what's opping?
[13:58] <Kollektiv> To make someone a channel operator
[13:59] <Kollektiv> Type /ircintro for more information on that
[13:59] <MoIrc> okay
[14:00] <MoIrc> thanks
[14:00] <LO_KEY> is that new to 6.21+ ? /ircintro
[14:00] <Kollektiv> LO_KEY: It was in version 4.5
[14:01] <Kollektiv> perhaps earlier
[14:01] <LO_KEY> well 6.2 it says invalid cmd
[14:01] <LO_KEY> or rathe runknown
[14:01] <Kollektiv> perhaps it was removed for a version, then
[14:01] <LO_KEY> ah
[14:08] <MoIrc> !search okay
[14:08] <MoIrc> what's !search for?
[14:08] <LO_KEY> nothing here.
[14:13] <MoIrc> what's trolling?

[19:07] <black`> quick q: i need to make an mirc script for a video game which alerts irc c
[19:08] <Hrung> well, you can look at /help $ctime to convert dates/times to a numbers which
[19:09] <Hrung> er, are you needing this whole script, have you written any yet
[19:10] <black`> ive written none of it, ive not programmed anything in 5+ years
[19:10] <black`> just looking for some initial guidance. it's a simple 7 day schedule, chang
[19:10] <Hrung> well, pretty much all you need is in the help file
[19:10] <black`> ok
[19:10] * Godot` is now known as Vulcan`
[19:10] <Hrung> but /write and $read for file access..
[19:11] <Hrung> on text for checking what people say..
[19:11] <Hrung> probably /timer too
[19:12] <Hrung> and if you have specific questions, this can be a good place to ask
[19:13] <black`> reading thru help file now, thx
[19:18] <black`> $ctime(wed 07:00)
[19:18] <black`> gah
[20:00] <bizinichi> how do i switch to a specfiic channel on a specific network (already join
[20:00] <bizinichi> or send commands to that specific channel on a specific network?
[20:00] <argv[0]> scon N command
[20:01] <argv[0]> /scon 2 window -a #mychannel
[20:01] <bizinichi> ie: /me slap bizinichi on #mirc EFNet ... while looking at
[20:01] <bizinichi> ah cool
[20:01] <argv[0]> will activate #mychannel on the 2nd connection
[20:17] <da-lec> hmm
[20:18] <da-lec> thinking of it.. you guys who answers all these questions, what programmingl
[20:19] <da-lec> argv, you have helped me millions of times over the last few years, isnt it
[20:19] <da-lec> since its not a actual language, and cant be used in actual programs
[20:30] <argv[0]> da-lec its used in a program: mirc.
[20:30] <da-lec> yea, and mirc only
[20:31] <argv[0]> right, but the concepts apply universally.
[20:32] <da-lec> in real scriptinglanguages, you can do your hobby - with less limits.. and e
[20:32] <argv[0]> er
[20:32] <argv[0]> yes
[20:32] <argv[0]> but mirc doesnt hinder you in that goal
[20:32] <da-lec> no..
[20:34] <da-lec> but to learn so much mirc scripting, you need to script for a good while to
[20:34] <argv[0]> i dont really spend very much time scripting in mirc, tbh
[20:34] <da-lec> mirc should really support perl, tcl, etc..
[20:34] <da-lec> okok
[20:35] <argv[0]> mirc does support tcl
[20:35] <argv[0]> www.kthx.net/clb/tcl4mirc
[20:35] <argv[0]> *thats* what i do in my spare time.
[20:35] <da-lec> ah
[20:35] <da-lec> nice
[20:36] <da-lec> so, you got lots of tlc's in your mirc? lol
[20:38] <argv[0]> no
[20:39] <argv[0]> i kind of hate tcl
[20:39] <Kollektiv> He likes ruby
[20:39] <argv[0]> i like ruby
[20:39] <argv[0]> but i havent coded a single line beyond the examples packaged with ruby4mir
[20:40] <da-lec> ok:P
[20:40] <da-lec> tcl4mirc * ? :p
[20:41] <da-lec> oh, nvm..
[20:42] <argv[0]> the moral of the story is
[20:43] <argv[0]> it doesnt matter what languages you code in
[20:43] <argv[0]> as long as youre doing something cool with them
[20:45] <da-lec> true.. though, im still glad i moved from mirc to php.. i can do the same th
[20:45] <argv[0]> heh, good for you
[20:45] <argv[0]> mirc isnt about getting paid for most people though
[20:46] <da-lec> i know, its just a hobby/ for fun..
[20:46] <argv[0]> right
[20:46] <da-lec> thats why.. well.. im still here.. hehe;P
[20:46] <argv[0]> the language you use for fun shouldnt be the language you use at work
[20:46] <argv[0]> otherwise you live a dry life
[20:47] <argv[0]> and dont get me started on working a php job
[20:47] <da-lec> neh.. ofc, need to experience with other languages
[21:08] <kobewoods> where do i go in mirc to change my default web browser option ?
[21:09] <argv[0]> you dont. it uses the default web browser in your system
[21:09] <argv[0]> of course you need to not be using a ridiculously old version of mirc
[21:09] <kobewoods> i have 6.15
[21:10] <argv[0]> right
[21:10] <argv[0]> look at the topic
[21:10] <Bekar> otherwise known as rediculously old
[21:10] <kobewoods> i set it at ie at first, but i want to change it to firefox ?
[21:10] <kobewoods> i can't do it manually ?
[21:10] <argv[0]> what part of "mirc uses the systems default browser" was lost on you?
[21:10] <Bekar> you can do funky ON HOTLINK crap, but why not just update to 6.21?
[21:10] <argv[0]> 6.31
[21:10] <Bekar> err sorry
[21:10] <Bekar> bran-fart..
[21:10] <argv[0]> you should be
[21:11] <kobewoods> cause this one is running fine, so i see no need
[21:11] <argv[0]> well, fine until now
[21:11] <kobewoods> and i don't use irc much anyways
[21:11] <Bekar> but aparently it isn't running fine
[21:11] <Bekar> as you're having browser selection issues
[21:11] <argv[0]> anyway, thats why new versions exist.. to fix bugs
[21:11] <Bekar> and it will take you how long to download the new version?
[21:11] <Bekar> cable..
[21:11] <argv[0]> he couldve already done it
[21:11] <argv[0]> twice
[21:11] <Bekar> so, maybe 30 seconds
[21:12] <da-lec> btw
[21:12] <da-lec> http://mirc.stealth.net <- 403 - Forbidden
[21:12] <Bekar> again ?!?
[21:12] <da-lec> yep
[21:12] <da-lec> :P
[21:12] <Bekar> .. grump ..
[21:13] <argv[0]> sucka
