mIRC Ace of Spades Launcher

[ReubenMcHawk]

For all of my IRC using friends, I made a quick little mIRC script that launches Ace of Spades games from inside the mIRC client. It's for the most part useless, and I only made it to save myself a few seconds, but here it is for anyone that wants to use it.

To install the script, save it as "aos.mrc" inside of the mIRC\scripts directory, or hit Alt+R in-game to open up the script manager. Click the remote tab, go to File > New... then copy and paste the below code into the new script. Feel free to rename it as aos.mrc or whatever you choose to.

To use the script, put "/aos " followed by the server URL. For instance, to connect to Goon Haven 1, I'd put /aos aos://3299297356:32887 and it'd launch the game.

Note: If your AoS is installed somewhere other than the default directory, change it in the script.

Code: Select all

alias aos {
  set %path C:\Ace of Spades\client.exe
  run %path - $+ $1-
}

how to connect to any server using this?
Anyway, thanks!

[ReubenMcHawk]

Oh wow, I'm a moron. I knew I forgot something.

[MrHaaaaaaxFF]

hehe!
Fix it quickly pl0x
anyway, what coding language you used to make this?

[ReubenMcHawk]

Fixed it, and it's in mIRC's scripting language, called mSL. Lol, thanks for reminding me I forgot that btw.

[MrHaaaaaaxFF]

thanks man!

Nice! I'm working on an expanded version featuring some other lazy time-savers. Stay tuned.

Nice Script. Is quite usefull in a way. But i don't use MIRC that much.
I use Irrsi.

The below are all completely untested because I don't have aos or windows installed but they at least look like they should work (and if they don't people with windows and the clients could probably fix them up for me):

Xchat (perl):

Code: Select all

Xchat::register(
  'aos-launcher',
  '0.01',
  'Launches Ace of Spades'
);

sub launch_aos
{
  my @server = split /\s+/, $_[1][1];

  Xchat::print('You did something wrong. You are supposed to "/aos " .
    'aos://numbers"') and return unless (scalar @server == 1);

  Xchat::print('Launching aos...');
  system('C:/Ace\ of\ Spades/aos.exe', "-$server[0]");
 
  return Xchat::EAT_XCHAT;
};

Xchat::hook_command('aos', \&launch_aos);


Irssi:

Code: Select all

use Irssi;

sub launch_aos
{
   my ($data, $server, $window) = @_;

   if ($data)
   {
      Irssi::print("Launching aos. Connecting to $data...");
      system 'C:/Ace\ of\ Spades/aos.exe', "-$data"
   };
};

Irssi::command_bind('aos', 'launch_aos');


KVIrc:

Code: Select all

alias(aos) {
  exec("C:/Ace\ of\ Spades/aos.exe -$0") {};
}

Good work Reuben, though my mIRC trial ran out... Lol. After 90 days you can't use it anymore :(.

A bit off topic: TOPOLOGIST COMES AND SAVES THE DAY! WOOHOO!

[ReubenMcHawk]

topologist is sexy.

Also Nanners it should let you keep using it after 90 days, even though it says you can't.

On topic though, I've been working on updating this a bit, should have more out soon.
