To have an irc server, it's good. To have got services for registering channels, it's better! Only one thing remains, that you haven't: the celebrity!

With this last *great* release of mirc script server, you will be known by the whole world when you'll launch the server. This is a system patented by Averell: when launching the server, you'll be asked to "ping" the central server www.mircscripts.ovh.org ; The result will be, that you'll know your own ip address without requiring to call winipcfg or others, and that a server list will be updated on the central server. The server list contains the ip adresses and the names of the servers currently opened. The page containing the list is http://www.serverlist.fr.fm .

Anyone consulting this list will be able to connect on YOUR own server, whereas it' s then useless to make advertisement on the IRC for your server.

For those who want to use this system on their own server, I precise:

1) That the web server *must* understand CGI (Common Gateway Interface) language.
2) That you must update the name of your WEB server lines 82 and 90 of server2.mrc
3) That the perl-files of the two only scripts ip.pl and serverlist.pl are available in this folder. For the those using a web server which doesn't understand perl, you could translate the files in the language of your choice, if you're good!

The princip of my script is that there is a small web navigator in mirc script server, which calls every 5 minutes the page /cgi-bin/ip.pl on http://www.mircscripts.ovh.org. This page contains your ip address. In the same time, a treatement is performed to update your ip in the database.

The conceptor of this script wishes that you'll be entirely satisfied.

N.B. With the release 6.2 I have added a specific channel: &service , which allows spying
the events occurring on any server of the network. Anyone doing anything on the server is
replicated through this secret channel.

Then in the release 6.5 I have added a configuration window and a protection against flood.
It has become possible to change all the logins and passes.

In 6.52, I typo errors when performing /msg xserv help were fixed: I thank AC very much.
Moreover, a small bug about excess flood protection was also fixed.
