IRC Manager for MIRC · **Released**: 01-16-2004

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.

This is very nice, but the script doesn't like you being connected to multiple networks at the same time. It tries to send data from those also, and your "who's in the chat" display goes blank. I believe a workaround for this is possible, however.

The topic doesn't stick either. After running /topicrefresh last night, the topic displayed. As soon as there was nobody still connected that was running the script, the topic disappears and doesn't return automatically when someone running the script connects..

With thanks to the nice people over at http://www.mirc.net - here's a version of the script where you can limit which server it will run on.

Replace irc.devcore.co.uk with the server that your channel is on..

Still no answer for the disappearing topic though..

Knight;

Try this file to fix the topic problem. I have not tested it, but it should fix it.

(ps: I edited the file you posted).

Oblivion Knight · #**135** 01-21-2005, 07:46 PM

That seems to have worked, thanks!

%vbserver should be the domain of your forum. For example, mine is set to www.gamerseuphoria.com

MrLovellz · #**139** 01-30-2005, 03:21 PM

I keep getting the error... as in ALL THE TIME.

* /sockopen: 'vbmisc' socket in use (line 8, ircon_al.txt)

Now, people have said over and over I have to "/sockclose vbmisc". However, I want this thing to run on it's own. I don't want to have to always type the /sockclose command to make this thing work.

Is there a way (in the script) to AUTOMATICALLY have it do this, since regardless of which way I run the script (for large or small channels), it gives this error? I suck at coding, so if someone could tell me where in the script(s) to add "/sockclose vbmisc", it'd be appreciated.

I'm getting that also, but I also get "-N Unknown command". I think its referring to -n as in "sockwrite -n". anyway to fix this?
