The range of the N value as specified with /hmake is 1..10000, making the possible hashtable sizes all odd numbers from 1 to 10001 inclusive. text/html 2011-10-17T21:51:35+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.xise.nl/mirc/wiki/doku.php?id=limits&rev=1318888295&do=diff Various hard-coded size limits mIRC has lots of internal size limits for various types of data; in fact, pretty much anything in mIRC has an upper limit.

The other four are those found in the Control section of mIRC's address book: Ignore, Op, Voice and Protect. text/html 2011-10-17T21:51:35+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.xise.nl/mirc/wiki/doku.php?id=quirks_in_mirc&rev=1318888295&do=diff Quirks in mIRC This page is meant to be an unnordered placeholder for all the little quirks in mIRC that either need little explanation or still warrant an in depth explanation.

For example, imagine you want to change all a's and b's between X and Y pairs in a string into uppercase, while there can be multiple X-Y pairs, multiple a's and b's (in any order) and any other letters within the string. The approach would be to use two nested regsubex calls, having the o… text/html 2011-10-17T21:51:35+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.xise.nl/mirc/wiki/doku.php?id=sockerr&rev=1318888295&do=diff The error codes of $sockerr Author --- Saturn 2006/09/17 15:25 Every mIRC scripter who has ever worked with sockets, knows how important it is to check $sockerr in socket events. From the /sockread example in the mIRC helpfile, we also know that it is always a positive numerical value: zero on success, above zero if an error occurred.

As a result, people have been working around the problem for many years, using hack'ish methods to achieve nearly the same.

This aspect of mIRC's scripting language is one of the aspects of what makes it relatively easy to use for beginners - however, the more advanced scripters often find it to be a nuisance… text/html 2025-08-13T13:17:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.xise.nl/mirc/wiki/doku.php?id=start&rev=1755091041&do=diff mIRC Internals Wiki Greetings, and welcome to the mIRC Internals Wiki, a wiki about advanced topics in mIRC, mIRC scripting and IRC.
