Well, does anyone know if its possible that when u made scripts in mIRC that u make sort of a bot and put it on shell and that u can run like mIRC and let the scripts work, so that u would always have the bot in your channel. Because i never made .tcl scripts yet, and it would be easier if i could just use my mIRC scripts instead of haveing to make all new scripts. If it aint possible with Shell, is it possible with something else? like haveing a dedicated server.

You can't use .mrc extended scripts for linux irc clients...
You will have to port your .mrc script to perl, c++ or anything else that works.

And if u wuld get like a windows OS dedicated server, would it be possible to put mIRC on there and let it run all the time with the scripts? or something like that?

yes you can probably i mean once i tried a win32 client with my bot scripts i coded but it wont run, you need to code .tcl scripts they are the main scripts for most irc bots

Probably, yes. But the dedicated server should have a good uptime and connection. Or you would have a bot that pings out too often.

hmm k , i guess ill just learn tcl scripts

Eggdrops are cool if u configure them rigth.

Try itt

yea , but is it possible to make every script that u can make on mirc, also on tcl? like sockets and stuff?

I doubt mIRC can anything that you cannot reproduce on TCL, probably it's rather the other way. Many of the unix commands cannot be repoduced on mIRC, since you would need to write thousands lines of code .
Only thing is, that you cannot convert them straight, since there are other predefined "aliases" with total diffrent syntax. So in most caes swriting a new script from scratch with the functionalitiy idea of the remote script, is in most cases easier (since TCL programer usually dont know much about mirc scripting).
Oh stop... there is one thing TCL doesnt support... thats UDP... but you can use unix commands or call an PERL script or something liek that to query UDP data, so it isnt that big of a deal.
And in worest case, you simply write your own C app to get the fucntionalitity you need (I actually did that to get error reporting of low level sockets for server statuses) and call it out of eggdrop/irssi/whatever ^-^.

First of all there is no point putting mIRC on some "windows shell" because u can always put eggdrop that got everything as some mIRC script.
And yes, you have TCL scripts witch u can use on eggdrops and get everything u need.

I am rather for programming your own eggdrop in C or Delphi if u are using windows, if u need some source let me know.

thx for all the help :p

There is a point for him to put it on a "windows shell", because he wants to run his current .mrc scripts on a mIRC client. He doesn't know .tcl so it's easier for him to run it on a "windows shell" then porting everything to .tcl.

jup, thats what i was asking for :p, but tim said it would take so mutch energy of a shell account that practicly no one would allow it, u woulda llready need a dedicated server thats about 90$ or something :s, so i guess ill just try to learn tcl, anyone got any good guides in makeing tcl scripts? :s

Yes but he could learn TCL, its really not problem to port it on TCL.
Why all are going on easy ways...

A simple google.

De1Rekt0n: It really depends on the amount of scripts he has and how big they are...
