Talk:MIRC scripting language

message: Why is only one script listed under external links? I do feel there need to be more of variate to choose from, or the one script needs to be removed from the external links.

replies: text: Because the article used to be about mIRC scripts? In any case, if there are wikiarticles about mIRC scripts, then they should be collected here - and if/when the list grows, make a separate page with list of mIRC scripts. DLX 05:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *If anything there should be a link to a site that archives mirc scripts. Omenserv is a third party program not related to this article. Its also a bad example imho. whatever, we'll see what unfolds Bl4h 15:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: *The article may have previously been about mIRC scripts however now it is focused on the scripting language itself. It doesn't seem appropriate to list individual scripts here. If there are enough articles on specific scripts to warrant a list page or a category then by all means go ahead and create one and link it here, but the lack of any such list/category still doesn't justify linking an individual script from this article. - ExNihilo 20:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Links were added back by  (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MIRC_Scripting_Language&diff=138953323&oldid=138611725), as it was discussed elsewhere. Let them be here for now - as they are mIRC scripts and have their own Wikipedia articles about them as well - unless someone can come up with a reason why mIRC scripts with their own Wikipedia articles shouldn't be listed in article about mIRC scripting.

text: *I think the reasons for not linking those scripts here are already explained above, and are not rendered invalid just because an attempt at creating a list page failed to remain. It's also pretty annoying to see that the lists page was created, deleted, and re-merged back here without any discussion here on this talk page. That seems pretty poor form, bordering on underhanded depending on the extent to which you choose to follow WP:AGF. Back on topic though, nothing has changed since the earlier comments above. This page is still focused on the mIRC scripting language rather than mIRC scripts, and I see no reason why this language should be any different from the hundreds of others which don't list individual applications simply because they were written in that language. Whether or not there is a list of mIRC scripts article is irrelevant to that fact. This article is already included in the (admittedly rather messy) IRC client scripts category, as are the scripts linked, so there is still a clear connection between them for the interested reader. - ExNihilo 15:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am unsure of this reasoning (ie "page is still focused on the mIRC scripting language rather than mIRC scripts"). For example, PHP has "Examples of popular server-side PHP applications include..." and Perl has Perl#Applications. I see it as perfectly reasonable that mIRC scripts worthy their own articles would be listed here. Don't forget we are talking about two lines  in the article, it is not something major.

thread_title: Babel For mirc scripers

message: I think this article should be called "mIRC scripting language" (MSL) and not "mIRC script", because a mIRC script is a script written in the mIRC scripting language. --Markus -voks- Henn 15:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  mIRC script != mIRC scripting language 

message: I've changed the example
alias cir { 
  var %x = 0
  window -ek0p @cir 
  while (%x < 360) { 
    inc %x 
    drawdot @cir 4 2 $calc(($cos(%x)*50)+200) $calc(($sin(%x)*50)+200)
  } 
}
to
alias cir {
window -pek @cir
drawdot @cir 4 50 200 200
drawdot @cir 4 48 200 200
}
It produces the exact same result, executes faster and it would be more easily understood by someone who doesn't understand trigonometry and parametric equations. Haddock420 (talk) 14:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: With the release of mIRC 6.32 the variable size was increased. I have placed the figure at 4,147 (From the old 946 bytes of data). I would like confirmation though.

thread_title:  Limitations 

message: There is an easier why to identify your self and do other things as well. While on mIRC click Tools then options in the drop down list. Click on Connect and then click Options then click on Perform. Then make sure the Enable Perform on Connect is checked. Then in the box below, type what you what mIRC to do for you. This is mine (but is censored so no one can identify themselves as me. Some of this is good, for example, it'll ghost your nick in case it is still up):
/nickserv identify (password)
/nick (alternative nick)
/nick (primary nick)
/nickserv identify (password)
/nickserv ghost (primary nick)
/nick (primary nick)
/nickserv identify (password)
/join #channel
etc.
This may help you out a lot. (I use this on the freenode network) Cubs197 (talk) 02:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Easier way 

message: There is no distinct name in the official documentation for scripting language used. "mIRC scripting language" is common name rather than proper name. mSL acronym as programming language name has been coined by scripter community and completely unofficial.

message: I would like to surgest adding a link to: http://script.quakenet.org/wiki/ as it is a really good source. Until I found that the others just didn't seem to help and as I arrived here first it seems a good place. :-) Zasurus (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there any "Influenced by" and "Influenced" detailed about this scripting language?
I saw there is some similarity to C, Unix shells and Perl. Galzigler (talk) 13:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Influenced by 

message: Since the switch from Geshi to Pygments for syntax highlighting (phab:T85794), support for 'mirc' was unfortunately dropped, as can be seen with the plain text formatting on this page and others such as IIf. If you want specialised 'mirc' syntax highlight support again, it will need to be added to Pygments, and is being tracked as #483. John Vandenberg (chat) 20:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
