NOTE TO 4.x USERS: Users type "/dcc maxcps 0" anywhere in mIRC if you downloaded Polaris SE v4.x before January 8th 2009 (this applies to ALL v4.0 users and only users of 4.1 that downloaded it on January 7th). The DCC MAX CPS was set to 500 and it is changed now as of 6PM EST Jan 7th, if you don't change it to 0 it will cap your outgoing sends to 500 bytes which is extremely slow. You may also set it to 0 from the General Settings dialog under Min/Max CPS.
NOTE TO 4.1 users regarding MEDIA DISPLAYER (only applies if you downloaded v4.1 before January 8th 2009): If Media Displayer ever returns any error, type "/media.resetvars" anywhere in mIRC. This should fix any errors you receive and make the addon fully functional.
There are no more planned updates for 4.1 as it is a very stable final build, 4.2 will be under development. Enjoy!
READ BELOW for Polaris SE v4.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was much I wanted to add in Polaris SE v4.0 (mIRC script) that I didn't have a chance to, after seeing old users request for more support/features I spent quite a while constantly additing/modifying/tweaking features and here is the end result, Polaris SE v4.1. :)
Polaris SE v4.1 mIRC script contains:
Channel flood protections
Ban enforcer (auto kicks users that are banned)
Self ban protection with multiple revenge settings (example: ban/kick the op that banned you) and ability to unban yourself additionally with X and/or ChanServ.
Autogreet system to welcome back friends with a custom message when they join the channel.
Shitlist system to auto-ban unwanted users upon joining - both now with dialog editors.
Auto User List system auto-op [+o] / auto-voice [+v] / auto-halfop [+h] / superop [+a] / auto-owner [+q], the latter 3 depending on your network supporting it.
Nick completer
Nick Alert (alert you if someone says your nick)
Auto Pinger
Network services updater (chanserv/X/nickserv depending on your network)
Lag Meter, minimum and maximum cps rate for dcc sends so slow users files are cancelled and so all your bandwidth isn't used up
Auto User Modes on connect like +i (invisible) or oper modes (for irc ops)
Display personal info quickly to channel/queries such as your website,email,aol im/yahoo/msn messenger ids
SNotice window for irc ops
Updating Titlebar that includes lag, user modes, online status, current time, server name
Ability to edit the primary and secondary script colors
Personal flood protection to quickly silence an abusive user as well as a fast way to unignore if it was a friend
DCC Watcher which stops sends if a user parts channels you were file sharing in
Trusted nicknames such as your friends and NickServ, ChanServ, so they don't trigger the personal flood protection.
An auto-away/away system
Download logger/manager dialog that keeps track of dcc downloads
Auto-join system that supports configurations for multiple network
NickServ auto-identifier and ghoster
X login addon for Undernet users
Intelligent XDCC/Fserve browser addon
Robust !seen addon with multiple network configurations to keep track of when a user was last seen.
File server that supports up to 5 triggers which can be changed to ctcp triggers on the fly
Ability to auto-start fserve/tdcc/xdcc/ftp silently, they can respond to !list (xdcc responds to xdcc list)
Reply to !list which will notice users of your file server trigger
Reply to @locator searches to see if files exist on your fileserver
2 line fileserver ad support for those of you that find your ad being too long for the server to display
File server ban manager to keep off unwanted users
FTP ad system supports up to 5 different FTP ads
TDCC system supporting 5 triggers which can be set to CTCP triggers on the fly, a single TDCC will send one file, example: !rules will send rules.txt to a user
Revamped XDCC system with new features
Dialog XDCC pack editor that allows packs to be added in mass
XDCC System by default generates a pack .txt list and sends that to a user upon a 'xdcc list' message lowering the amount of data you need to send to the server (prevents lag), but you can opt to still spam the packs to the user.
Queue manager allows you to re-arrange or delete queued files from the list of files waiting to be sent, as well as give certain users priority by placing them at the top.
Timed request ad to alert other users of something you need
Import your previous settings from Polaris SE or scripts based on Polaris. This feature has only been refined to ensure complete importing for Polaris SE.
Addons:
DarkEngine allows you to display your system specs -operating system, motherboard, ram, total hard drives, uptime & record uptime of your system- to the channel/query as well as what you are currently playing in WinAmp
Media Displayer allows you to display what you are listening to in WinAmp, display stats for VLC, DC++, PowerDVD, BSPlayer, Media Player Classic, ZoomPlayer, WinAmp, FTPRush, FlashFXP, Everest, System Specs, VirtualDub. For the players it displays what video you're watching.
Essence is similar to DarkEngine showing all your system stats, as well as a few additional ones and supports displaying data for torrents, WinAmp, and Last.FM.
FiSH for mIRC is pre-loaded, it allows you to speak to other chatters via blowfish encryption, encryption has been popular on various chat protocols including irc networks, it basically obscures what you are saying to one another to 3rd parties. This can be used for fun or paranoia, having it loaded doesn't affect your ability to chat with others as the script will only use encryption if the other person has it loaded and asks for a key exchange. If you exchange personal or private data, it's a good idea to use. An example of using FiSH in a channel: before you do this make sure everyone has FiSH loaded, then make up a key for a channel and set it, give the other users the key via encrypted private message -- and then have them set the key for the channel and now you have an channel that speaks in encryption only. |
