Autolog Into IRC

[Fixxer]

How difficult would it be to create a snippet or .inc that would automatically log into an IRC server and get in a channel based off an .ini file?

I tried to simply write in a sub that would log a character in, but it was always the same character regardless of which character I actually logged in.

Thanks.

I wrote a sub to log onto IRC with my character name, relevant sections below:

Code: Select all

/declare INI string outer "Whatever_${Me.Name}.ini"

/declare UseIRC bool outer ${Ini[${INI},General_Options,UseIRC]}
/declare IRCServer string outer ${Ini[${INI},IRC_Settings,IRCServer]}
/declare IRCPort int outer ${Ini[${INI},IRC_Settings,IRCPort]}
/declare IRCChannel string outer ${Ini[${INI},IRC_Settings,IRCChannel]}

|### Join IRC ###
Sub JoinIRC
	/if (${IRCChannel.Left[1].NotEqual[#]}) {
		/echo Channel name needs to start with a #
		/endmacro
	}

	/if (${Irc}) {
		/if (${Irc.Server.NotEqual[${IRCServer}]} || ${Irc.Nick.NotEqual[${Me.Name}]}) {
			/squelch /i quit
			/squelch /iconnect ${IRCServer} ${IRCPort} ${IRCChannel} ${Me.Name}
		} else {
			| This is currently broken in the MQ2IRC plugin code, it will always re-join the channel
			/if (${IRC.Channel.NotEqual[${IRCChannel}]}) {
				/squelch /i part
				/i join ${IRCChannel}
			}
		}
	} else {
		/squelch /iconnect ${IRCServer} ${IRCPort} ${IRCChannel} ${Me.Name}
	}
	/delay 3s
/return

Ini file:

Code: Select all

[General_Options]
UseIRC=1
[IRC_Settings]
IRCServer=local.irc.server
IRCPort=6667
IRCChannel=#botchan

I haven't played for a couple of months, so not sure if recent changes to IRC plugin have fixed the ${IRC.Channel} problem.

Thanks drzoon been looking for something like this so I didnt have to write my own. I'v added it to outlander.inc which is my bunch of utility subs I use in various macros. When I have something based upon this sub you posted I'll refresh my include that has your bit of code in it.

Thanks for that. I'll try adding it and see how it goes.
