I’ve reset all the download counters to 0. There was some wrong information in them(googlebot hits etc.) so from now on they’ll hopefully be more accurate.

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.
Cheers

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!

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.

Well I’ve had loads of server problems, this site is now back up and running though. A quick run down of what’s coming in the (hopefully near) future.
I’ve just finished a plugin for WP MP3 Player which integrates with the OnAirNow plugin for wordpress. It’s basically a file information grabber and ftp module to allow a “now playing” thing for wordpress and mIRC. (see it in action on my blog)
I’m currently theming a mIRC for Blog$hares players. I’ve designed the layout and have just started on a dialog system for getting your player information from the site. I’ve become a bit of a blogshares addict recently so I might even change to the themed mIRC myself when it’s finished.

All the scripts are now uploaded, however no links are in place yet. I managed to grab a few minutes on the other PC and get the FTP running, before my girlfriend hauled me off to be sociable. I’ll get the links up ASAP y’all, please bear with me!
Until then use this link for the indexing. (removed due to me getting my act together!)

The site is pretty much moved onto this new system now. Obviously not all the scripts are available yet, but these will be added when I get the time. (It’s all manual you know!) If in the meantime you are looking for a script email me and I’ll send it to you.
