Ok I did this to kill 2 birds with one stone, firstly I wanted to do a vlog on something, anything and secondly a how-to to help people who ask me this anyhow. Enjoy…

Archive for the 'My Scripts' Category
The most recent additions to the site are…
A script that allows you to post to twitter from within mIRC.
A Blogshares Ideas helping script.
Tiny mIRC MP3 player.
Quick-Grab script that turns play messages/@find results into clickable grabs.
That lot keep you going for a while?
I’ve put the long elusive WP Stripper online, after hunting it down from Archive.org as I’d lost it on my own machine too!!!

I’ve updated the BS Quiz script to include
- Coloured Messages
- On-top option
Also for some reason Rantz was having trouble with longer lines being cut off which I think is fixed too. I couldn’t replicate the problem so I think it may have been in his formatting of the questions???
I think I’m going to overhaul this script’s scoring mechanism soon after running a quiz in channel. More stats need to be generated!

I’ve updated btktext to fix a bug where if you type the last letter of a command it activated, e.g. if you had “brb:be right back” and just typed “b”, it would send “be right back”. Fixed. v1.2 now, ignore the version on the screenshot, visually, it’s not changed at all.
I’m working on a couple of scripts for the blogshares game at the moment and of course the continuing development of WP MP3 Player. I’ve also been messing about with this site for a change and have upgraded my WP version. Installed some neat plugins and altered the theme. Hope you like it.
I’m going to do as many of my script pages as I can over the next few days as I feel like I’ve neglected them with the WordPress move. Just throwing up a list of files isn’t really good enough, so my screenshot taking, page writing, .zip FTPing self will need to get a move on.

I’ve released version 3.0.5 of WP MP3 Player today which contains the following bugfixes…
1. changed text of the “about” dialog.
2. changed text in updater in regards to newer version being installed than published.
3. fixed “/did invalid command” on others ctcp sound if player is not open.
4. added version information in ctcp status reply
5. fixed edit box in onAirNow setup dialog not handling long paths
Someone asked me the other day why it’s called WP. Well it stands for WavPlayers which is the abbreviated version of #IRCWavPlayers. The channel that got me in to all of this in the first place. Check out their blog and come and chat with us!

…small update to yesterdays published WP MP3 Player. I accidentally put in a bug with the modified updater. It was opening even in the event you had the most recent version installed. This is fixed now, version 3.0.4. Sorry folks!

…but at last I’ve gotten round to publishing the update of WP MP3 Player to v3.0.3. I’ve also updated the updater in it so hopefully all those who have had an older version for some time will get notified of this one, although the format might be a bit scrambled. Anyhoooooo, here are the main changes…
1. fixed bug where wma files could only play in random (and not by clicking play)
2. added memory of previous state for ‘Use OnAirNow Plugin’ menu item
3. added memory of previous state for ‘Show in MSN Messenger’ menu item
4. replaced all instances of “$mircdir” to “$nofile($mircexe)” for mIRC 6.3 (for vista compatibility $mircdir returns the mirc installation/settings folder which changed in mIRC 6.3 to %appdata%) This change will not affect older mIRCs.
5. added horizontal scrollbars to the list boxes when data exceeds box width.
6. changed zipping of list to happen minimized, this makes it faster and non-intrusive.
7. removed installer executable.
8. wpplayer.zip is now automatically created from my own machine when invoked for increased security.
9. updated 7zip as it wasn’t the standalone (7za.exe in original download) version.
10. updated WP MP3 Player UPDATER to include list box with current updates. Also changed to updates file on the server.
I think update 9 in that list is very important, I don’t know how long the wrong executable was being used but I suspect it was from the very first time! That meant that unless you had 7zip already installed on your computer then the zipping/unzipping of lists in the player was redundant. This had a knock-on effect of not cleaning up old lists when creating new ones, opening the new list from the @listmaking -in-progress window and sending with @nick or ctcp list commands.
As always get in touch by leaving a comment here or in email if you find any bugs. I often miss things(like the zip problem, only noticed when I uninstalled my 7zip for testing) here as I only use one machine for editing and testing. (although I do run my regular mirc and another “clean” mirc for testing)

Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about there being a new mIRC. I’m still carrying out testing for compatability in WP MP3 Player. So far I’ve altered how it looks for things(mIRC6.3 returns the %appdata% folder as $mircdir in some cases so I’ve altered all the $mircdir occurences to $nofile($mircexe) which will return the folder in which mIRC is actually installed. This is backward compatible with older mIRCs too. Also got the player to save the status of the OnAirNow and MSN bits.
The eagle eyed amongst you will have long ago noticed the player no longer updates you automatically. This isn’t entirely true, the player will still notify you of updates when it connects, but only if I’ve updated this site, which I haven’t done in so long. Anyhow, watch this space for a new release soon (v.3.0.3)
Now the new mIRC itself…
It’s brilliant as usual. There’s a new option to have it in “Compact”mode(View/Mode/Compact) which gives it the appearance of an IM program, your contacts can be kept in the treebar now as well. Another good thing is that it now connects to mirc.com(or somewhere) to verify your license is legit. I can’t believe Khaled has taken this long to implement this. I had been using a keygen on older mIRCs but I just paid the license when I saw it this time. I mean, I have no excuse really. I love the program and I use it all the time. If you like it, pay for it too, it’s only a tenner at todays exchange rates, gotta love our economy some times!
I’m also learning DCX and will be entirely switching(or perhaps replacing) the mp3 player to use dcx.dll stuff. It just looks so much better. I’ll also be scripting the Blogshares script with it I think, for the same reasons.
I’ve not really got that much computer time at the moment so things are taking longer than usual. If you’re desperate for something, GET IN TOUCH! I’ll put it ahead of the queue.
Also this site may suffer some downtime at the end of the month, Aaron, my host, is talking about moving accounts to another server so that’ll no doubt be a pain!
Cheers.
