Ron C's mIRC AutoSounds Tutorial

So now you have your sounds set up . You can hear the wav and midi files being played, but every time someone plays a new sound that you want, you have to type in their nick and the name of the file. Gets to be kinda' a drag after a while! Wouldn't you like to be able to press just one key, and get that sound file? You can if you follow the steps outlined below....

Probably the hardest part will be this first part; creating a customized .ini file for mIRC to use.

Here is the events.txt file you will need.

Download it, unzip it, and save it to your mIRC directory.

Once you have it, open it with notepad to edit it. The first line of this file is the only one that requires editing. When you open it, the first line should look like this:

n0=on 1:TEXT:!xxxxxx*:#:/dcc send $nick XXXXXXXXXXX $+ $parm2

Replace the first set of x's in this line with your nick (in my case it's ronboy), it will look like this:

n0=on 1:TEXT:!ronboy*:#:/dcc send $nick XXXXXXXXXXX $+ $parm2
(no spaces in between the !your nick*)

Now you want to replace the second set of x's with the path to your sound directory; you set this up on the previous page. It looks like this on my machine:

n0=on 1:TEXT:!xxxxxx*:#:/dcc send $nick c:\sounds\ $+ $parm2

Bear in mind that the spacing shown is important for this file to work properly. When you have that done, save the file as events.txt to the directory where mIRC is installed.

Next go to Tools | Remote from the menubar in mIRC:
from menubar choose Tools and Remote

When you click on Remote, this window is displayed:
Next select the Remote Tab

Select Listen from the menubar in that window,
and make sure that all three items in the list are checked off:
Choose Listen from menubar

Next Select File | Load and then Click on Script:
Next select File, Load and click Script

You'll see this window displayed:
Browse to your file and double click

Browse through your mIRC files until you locate the file 'events.txt' that you saved earlier. Double click on the file name in the list at the right to load it.

The next step is to add a line to your alias.ini file....

Go to Tools | Alias and click on Aliases to open the editor again:
Select Tools and Alias from the menubar

You should see a window like this:
Aliases window; add the line appearing below

Copy this line to your clipboard:

/f9 msg # ! $+ %znick %zfile | unset %z*

Place the cursor at the end of the text in the edit window pictured above, and press enter, then control V to add the copied line.

Click OK, and you're done!

Now whenever someone plays a sound file that you want, all you have to do is press the F9 key to automatically request that file from them. Congratulations and happy chatting!
