PLAYING SOUNDS EASILY IN MIRC 4.0+

One of the most frequent requests I get is for easy sound playing tricks. This is an easy one to set up and you can even do it online! Neat huh? ok, let's get on with it.... We'll set it up so you can play your wav's or midi's with just a press of an F key.. let's use the F7 key. First thing you need to do is decide which key you want to assign to this task. we're using F7 for this example. You need to go to your alias.ini file and add a control line that looks something like this...

/f7 /sound $file="Choose a wav" c:\mirc\sound\waves\

You need to edit the directory to point to where you store your waves and midi files for this to work.. save the alias.ini file. exit Mirc and reboot it. You can now press the F7 key and get a directory like listing of every Wav and Mid file in that directory.. Just highlight which one you want to play, click on OK and it plays! Easy huh?

Sending private messages is easy with a pop up!!

Put this in your Popup file so you can get at it from the NICK part of the menu...

private message:/notice $$1 [prv msg] $$?="enter message"

This will allow you send a private message, similar to /msg but without all the typing, to anyone just by highlighting the nickname in the Nick window on the right....

Turning on and off those Auto DCC sends!!!

It's easy to turn on and off those Auto DCC sends if you know how. What's that? You say you don't know how? Well I'll show you how!
WARNING: ALWAYS back up your INI files before doing this kind of editing!!
ok, here we go.. to the popup.ini file, under the status section, add these lines....
DCC section
.enable DCC:/enable #groupDT | /echo 5 DCC enabled.......
.disable DCC:/disable #groupDT | /echo 6 DCC disabled......
This gives you the ON/OFF control. Now to your events.ini file add these lines
#groupDT disabled
1:ON TEXT:!nickname*:*:/dcc send $nick c:\mirc\sound\ $+ $parm2
#groupDT end
Now when you don't feel like having 10 people downloading waves from you all at once.. you can now turn them off by right clicking in the channel window and looking for DCC Section/disable dcc. it's that easy now!
