;this is a little tutorial about sockets ; ;it's about how to connect to http://checkip.dyndns.org/index.php with mirc, then take your ip out ; ;and use that ip to set $ip ; ;this can be usefull if you've a router and a bnc, depending on your mirc settings, mirc will normally ;make $ip your bnc serverip, or your local ip, like 192.168.0.2 ; ; ;on connect event, with timer, so if you connect to 3 different servers on start up, it'll only be triggered once :) on *:connect:{ .timermyip 1 5 myip } alias myip { ;if the socket already is open, close it, you can only have one connection with the same name at the same time if ($sock(myip)) { sockclose myip } ;to open a socket with name myip to address checkip.dyndns.org on port 80 sockopen myip checkip.dyndns.org 80 } ;this event is triggered on the moment the sockets is opened on *:sockopen:myip:{ ;to tell the server which file you want to receive sockwrite -n $sockname GET /index.php HTTP/1.0 sockwrite -n $sockname Host: checkip.dyndns.org ;this is only needed for a few websites, but it's just more complete to have it ;) sockwrite -n $sockname user-agent: Mozilla/?? sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: Keep-Alive sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf } on *:sockread:myip:{ ;same way as in mirc helpfile with the :nextread if ($sockerr > 0) return :nextread sockread %temp if ($sockbr == 0) return ;to check if we got the right line, it's pretty easy for this file, but usually more complicated, ;use $gettok or variables to get the right line. if (<html> isin %temp) { ;%temp will contain something like: ;<html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: 217.20.116.184</body></html> ;an easy way to 'strip' it is with $remove var %z = $remove(%temp,<html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address:,</body></html>) ;scon -a is to send a command to all servers mirc is connected to scon -a localinfo $chr(10) %z scon -a echo 4 -s ip is set to $ip } goto nextread } ;If your knowledge about sockets is still $null or just not enough yet ;), maybe read this tutorial: ; http://www.mircscripts.org/showdoc.php?type=tutorial&id=1128 or check /help Sockets
