IRC Manager for MIRC

Here is a hack spawned off an original idea by Feldon23 for using mIRC sockets to show who is online in your channel.

This hack advances from his in many features, the most obvious being it uses a MySQL table to store the data.

• It supports multiple channels, not just one. This means you can show who is online on your forum home page for not just one channel, but many (there is a major restriction to this though, please refer to the install.html)
• Data is passed through sockets by HTTP POST, not GET, therefore more options are available. For one, this hack will show the topic of your channel.
• The "most users ever in the channel" has a timestamp to go along with it.
• The most innovative feature of this hack is the activity bar. This guages the activity of your channel by counting how many lines are outputted in the channel every X amount of seconds (this value is definable by you; default is 3 minutes). The activity bar allows people not in the IRC channel to see if there is activity going on inside.
• Admin Control Panel integration, for easy adding/deleting/editing channels.

This hack operates in the same as Feldon's, in that you MUST be in mIRC and connected to the channel if you wish for the data to be updated. There is no eggdrop required, and no FTP.

About the only known bug/error I've encountered in this hack is a "socket-in-use" error from mIRC. This can happen if you have a busy chatroom with people changing nicks, or leaving and joining the chatroom constantly. In this case, you will want to make some modifications to the ON-events in the remote script.

For more explanation on features, requirements, and restrictions, please refer to the section in install.html.


Version 1.1 - 1/20/04

• Changed the way data is sent in the remote socket script, to allow more users being. Unfortuantly mIRC sockets aren't very extensive, and through different functions and loops I still wasn't able figure out a way of sending more data. This simply means the max users that will be updated for each channel is around 60 users. (although, I believe it is more than the the 1.0 version)
• Created another socket connection for the topic & activity, which should reduce the number of "socket-in-use" errors.
• Renamed two of the config variables which were somewhat ambigious.

Upgrade 1.1 Instructions:

• Unload your current ircon_rm.txt remote script and ircon_al.txt alias script, and reload the new ones.

Clear your internet cache before downloading.

If you install this hack, please click the install button.

What format do you want the date/time in?

Nevermind, I got it working purely with PHP edits..

Great modification, I clicked the install.

I only have one problem, but is not really a bug. In our channel we have bots that voice us then we get ops from them. The thing is we are seen as having both ops and voice so we show up twice on the list.

You can view what I mean on my forums .. http://forums.emufanatics.com

Anyway to check to see if the name matches and then avoid adding the voice name to the list?

I've attempted to use Knight's new file, but my topic is still refusing to update.

I'm wanting to also show the info in a box on my front page. Running vbadvanced CMPS.

I tried using just the calls in the irc_loggedin, but get nothing. Has anyone else done this yet?

Also in irc I get

* Timer 1 activated

* Timer 2 activated
-
* /timer: timer act not active
-
* Timer 1 halted
-
* /sockopen: insufficient parameters (line 17, ircon_al.txt)
-
* Timer 2 halted

There's some settings in the files that need to be set. Make sure they are right.

in the section that says: Run mIRC, and connect to your channel server. Do the following.

Follow it closely.

It's got the users right but it's not doing the @ part right.
