Scripts and junk

Alright. I'm relatively new to IRC. I know enough to get into a chat room and whatnot. But now that I've accustomed myself to being social, I want more! I want to know more about the different scripts I keep hearing (reading) people talk about. What are they exactly?

Oh yeah, and I want to be pinged whenever someone types my nick. Very Happy

I'm begging someone to please tell me how to do that!

Thanks

for scripts, i'd very much recommend mircscripts.org over ANY other site. folks will give you links to a bunch of garbage that is more likely to mess up your computer than give you anything productive for IRC'ing. stay as far from mircx.com as you can. awful stuff...

for the nick ping thing, put this in your remote scripts:

And thanks for the help, moonman!!

Ctrl-O, to open to the options menu.
IRC > Highlight
"Add" button
In the 'Highlight lines which contain these words box', enter your nickname.
If you wish, choose a color to highlight lines that have your nick in them
Click the 'No Sound' button
Navigate to the sound you wish to have go off when you nickname is said.
Click "OK"
Click "OK"

Now it will play that sound whenever someone says your nickname.

Another way to do this, would be

Oh my god, ed! You're a huge help! Thanks. The first way didn't work for me, but the coding and junk did. Very Happy

Arrg, scripts. Scripts these days there are so many, all with errors the best bet really with scripts is just to make your own and learn learn learn, it's not too hard. If you really need a complete script i wouod suggest {SiC}Script or Fractal. I reveiw scripts for the network i use so i know or pretend to know my shit. :P

Alright. This is nice. It's nice how fast you people reply! Very Happy

I don't want a script, necessarily. I really just want to know about them. I want to know what can be done with them and whatnot. Smile

I think that pre-written scripts are crap. Of course, I don't use mIRC on a day to day basis...

To learn about mIRC scripting, the best way is to type '/help scripts'. There are some tutorials online, but I have found that the most precise and complete assistance with mIRC scripting, is using the built-in help file.

i used to think the pre-written ones were crap, especially when i fiddled around with scripting a little myself. and most are. but the fact is, a well-made script (see: basic, airc, pairc, et al from mircscripts.org) is going to be better than something a person with zero programming/scripting experience is going to be able to make.

now its a different story if you just want a couple tweaks here and there. with some help, thats very doable.

but anything largescale is gonna be tough for your average joe.

thats just moonman's two cents as a guest in a city 100 miles from home.

Ok, here's another question. Where in the Aliases would I find where the auto-kicks and auto-bans are. I want to remove those damned things and I don't know exactly where to look. Sad

Keep in mind that I'm completely IRC illiterate.
