About Scripting

For those of you who want to go out there and make a bot, I won’t lie, you have a lot of work cut out for you. Firstly, you must download mIRC, which can be found here: http://www.mirc.com/get.html. Once you have that installed on your computer, your best bet is to pick at the help files, which can be located under the menu tab “Help” – “Help Files” – “mirc.chm”. There are a ton of pages full of instructions on how to write scripts using the mIRC language. If you stick at it for a month, working with scripts for around 30 minutes a day, you should have the hang of it, and be able to write the more simple scripts that get the bot to say something in reply to what others say.

A Bot’s Capabilities

Bots are able to do more than anyone would think. Bots can have conversations with people. They can be scripted to reply to anything. They can reply to greetings, insults, anything you want them to. Bots can even reply to actions, if you “huggle” or “slap” a bot, it can be scripted to reply accordingly. For example, if you “slap” a bot in IRC, it can “run in a corner and cry” and say, “what was that for?” But this isn’t the limit of a bot, bots can play games with you, such as tic-tac-toe, truth or dare, hot potato, slot machines, death matches, scramble games, etc. And for those fans of RuneScape, I’m sure you’ve already seen this, but bots can be scripted to look up your characters statistics of the game.

Customizability of Bots

One of my favourite things is that you can be creative with bots, and customize the script like you’d want it. I made a script that warns a user when they swear, and gives Op & Half-Ops the choice to punish the violator. If they chose to, the script bans the person from the channel for 1 minute for each time they swore, and then unbans them. This is a very good example of a script that fits my desires. It helps warn users not to swear, and does not necessarily punish them; it leaves the choice up to the Ops and Half-Ops of the channel. Heck, you can get your bot to sing (well, say song lyrics) to anyone who joins that has “cat” anywhere in their name. Just to show you the endless possibilities of mIRC scripting.

PHP scripts embedded into the HTML codes. When someone checks the source code of the page, he doesn't get anything about PHP scripts. He only learns the HTML part of coding. This article is an introduction to PHP scripting language. One can find useful information and have enough knowledge after reading my PHP tutorial series. Without delay, I would like to start my script creation step by step.

Before starting, you should know that you have to set up PHP installations into your computer. Such installations are PHP itself, Phpmyadmin interface, Mysql database and Apache Server. Without these, your scripts are nothing since they are not compiled by your computer.

Step 1:

To write PHP scripts, we need a place. That place is a simple text editor. You are free to choose your text editor. I prefer to use Notepad. There are other alternatives like Editplus or Elfima. If your operating system is not Windows but Linux, you can place your code into Vi editor or Pico. I have never tried but I think you can use Dreamveawer, Hotdog or Frontpage.

In your text editor, open an new file and save it as “myfirst.php” or “myfirst.html” . I choose the name of file as “myfirst” but you are free to choose anything.

Step 2:

I have told you before that PHP scripts are embedded into HTML codes. So, first of all we will write HTML codes. The basic codes are HTML, TITLE, HEAD and BODY. It can be written by lowercase letters as well. This part is not important.

Step 3: All PHP scripts start with “ ”. Only the part between two is compiled by server and evaluated as output.To print characters on the screen, standart output functions of PHP are used. Those are “ print ” and “ echo ”. In some circumstances, ” printf ” is used too.

The format of printing:

1. print ( “ your output ” ) ;
2. print “ your output ” ;
3. echo “ your output ” ;
4. echo ( “ your outpu t” ) ;

If you don't use any white space characters, the strings are written without any separation. For example if you write this code;

• Print ( “ Word1 ” ) ;
• Print ( “ Word2 ” ) ;

It will be outputted as Word1Word2.

To remove this fault,white space characters are used. In PHP code part, between print functions, we place < br > code.

Example: To be more understandable,I will write a simple PHP script. Output will be the name of my favorite Triond writers.

Happy scripting

set dateihandle = fs.GetFile("Backup Digicam.vbs")
with this we can get the path from the scriptfile to get the path where the Pictures should be taken

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
this is needed to execute dos commands and to end the scrip

b = Date & "_" & Time
this variable is the foldername for the pictures

b = replace(b,":",".")
because : isn't allowed in a path but behind a driveletter we need to get rid of the : from the time

c = dateihandle.Path
with this the scriptpath is copied to the variable c

c = left(c,len(c) - len("Backup Digicam.vbs") -1)
now we need to remove the filename from the variable

d = c & "" & b
now we merge the scriptpath with the new date and time based foldername

for x = 0 to 25
now we start checking every drive for the most used Digicam-Foldername: DCIM

y = chr(asc("A") + x) & „:“
to get from letter to letter we take the ASCII Code from A and add 0 up to 25 to get to Z, chr() makes a letter from the ASCII Code

If (fs.FolderExists(y & "DCIM")) Then
check for the foldername

select case msgbox("Autodetected Digicam = " & Y,3)
ask the user if the driveletter is the one from the digicam

case 6:
in case of 'Yes' proceed

a = y
exit for
exit the for-next loop

case 7:
in case of 'No' try longer

case 2: a = "":exit for
in case of 'Abort' exit

end select
end if
next
when the script lands here, it proceeds to the next number

if a = "" then msgbox "No Digicam found. Program is shutting down":WScript.Quit
if all letters where checked and no folder found, notify the user and exit

if right(a,1) <> ":" then
if a is not empty and has a letter but no : add a :

if len(a) = 1 then a = a & ":"
end if

fs.createfolder d
create the folder for the pictures

Wshshell.run "xcopy /s " & a & " """ & d & """"
start the copy progress
/s for subfolders
