Historical
This page has been marked as Historical. Information posted here may be inaccurate and out of date. This information is kept for sentimental and/or historical reference purposes.


In This Guide:

Connect to a second network, while remaining connected to the first

  • /server -m irc.server2.net

You want mIRC to connect to 2 Different Servers

Put this into your remotes (Alt + r)

on *:start: server irc.server1.name | server -m irc.server2.name 

You want mIRC to join multiple channels, depending on network

on 1:connect: { 
   if ($network == DareNET) { join #Channel,#channel2,#channel3 } 
   if ($network == Efnet) { /nick MyNick } 
   if ($network == DALnet) join #Channel4 
   if ($network == Undernet) /msg Nick Message 
}

OR, you can add something similar to your perform section

File - Options - IRC - Perform

 /if ($network == DareNET) { /join #DareNET } 
 /if ($network == Undernet) { /nick MyNick } 
 /if ($network == DALnet) { /join #hideout } 
 /if ($network == EFnet) { /join #Chat }

Globally send an /amsg

/scid -a /amsg Your text here

How does mIRC get the $network info it displays on the switchbar button?

mIRC first looks to the server for a message to be sent (Raw) if nothing comes, it looks in your own server settings (file - options- connect) and checks the name of the server you are connecting to, to see what information you have filled in under the "Group" section. If no information is filled in, mIRC uses the server name itself.

Tips, Tricks and FYI

2nd Input Box

(Alt + - ) choose Edit Box - you can now specify specific input commands for this new, second input box. Some suggestions are /onotice or /msg NickName Alt + Q adds the edit box to any channel. Single line edit box :Shift & Tab cycles between channel & custom input boxes. Multi line edit box: Tab

Test it out - Alt + Q - Box Appears - Right click in box- choose options Command editbox opens Under Command type: /me

Ok out of menu - Type in that new edit box on right: says Hi !


Status Window kept in focus, based on active channel/window.

(Alt + W) - choose Status on top - this will allow the status window to come 'forward' for the network you have in focus (note: this does not work in tiled windows)

Test it out - Open 2 servers. Join channels on each. Be able to see both channels and both status boxes. Now click between the 2 channels on the 2 different networks. You'll notice the Status Window focus comes 'front'.


How to simply open a 2nd server after you connect to the first

(ALT + O) - Connect - [x]New Server Window - will create an additional connection, to the server shown above this option. An additional connection can also be made by typing /server -m server.name.com into any edit box.


FYI (For your information)

If you currently use the /aop (auto Op) command, be SURE to go to your settings to specify by network. New names added will automatically grab the network.
