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.

"Socket-in-use" means that another command has initiated the socket and the request process isn't quite finished.

But, if you are getting "not connected" errors, it ultimately means no socket connection is ever being established.

If you want me to test it out on my mIRC, I'd have no problem about it.

So the not connected errors mean that it isnt getting thru and my server probably then isnt allowing it?

Yep. Or, you have configured something wrong in the aliases script.

Is it possible for it to display a "Bot Offline" message when the computer running mIRC is not connected?

  %irckey      = 54321
  %ircchan     = #animesystem
  %ircwait     = 120
If you are getting a socket-write error message, it simply means it can't connect to the site.

Make sure the value of %irckey matches $irckey inside irconline.php.



Are you getting any errors from mIRC in the server status window?

that error is coming from the mirc window, and I cant put my domain in domain format as it doesnt have one, we use a re-direct to ip, so the domain is ip...

Should it make a idfference? I checked with the host and the irc people and they aid, its fine to use what I am doing....
If it only works for domain, can I make a suggestion that it reads http://x.x.x.x in future?

Regards

Still no idea why the topic isnt making it to the forumhome...

This hack has nothing to do with bots, so you'll have to ask someone else.

You'll just have to trouble shoot and test it out. I've only tested it in normal domain format.

Read through the thread, there are tons of suggestions for troubleshooting.

Try the command /topicrefresh

Check if it gives you any errors in the status iwndow of your IRC server in mIRC.

the user running the mIRC script could be considered a bot.


Let me rephrase: i am asking is it possible that the stats could display some kind of "offline" message when it has no connection to irc.

You would have to modify the mIRC script to make it so that when you disconnect from mIRC, it sends a request to the website notifying that the bot is offline.

Someone with the script would still have to be present, though, since the on:EVENT remote commands in mIRC aren't triggered by actions that you, the script holder, perform.

Your best bet is simply giving the script to other people you can trust, like a mod or other admin, and having them set it up on their mIRC.
