Aeron Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Vote! I'm not gonna do more then 1 script language. I might change the name of the program if it isn't mIRC script I don't say the winner comes in 4.0, I only might think about it.
Oli Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 IF you make it.. then make the MTA:mA program itself in C++ and allow javascripts to be loaded into it. Thats the easiest way and javascript isnt that hard for ppl to learn.
Mike Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I don't know much about these different languages, but if it runs nicely, and is easy to learn i'm happy. Edit: Do what Oli/Harry said Edited March 31, 2005 by Guest
Harry Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I've worked with an old 0.4 program (Aeron will know which one) which was written in c++ and had nice javascipt parsing for scripting. This included object orientation, and very easy debugging on several Java scripting building platforms. moreover, it can be compiled for all operating systems, and might even include stats logging. As Java script has all simple functions included, with a very nice and understandable layout and scripting gammar, i vote for C++/Javascript You know how to contact me for support and questions, i think this would be a big improvement.
Cube Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 nice would be in php or c++, php better because is easier
Harry Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 php is a script language as well as mircscript is. It is not designed for server tasks, or running constanly. Building a admin program in php wont be a option because of this, it'll be far too slow. Programming in php has advantges, but the main problem is Aeron has to write a php parser for it. And because php is quite a messy language (for example " and ' quotes, $var['index'] and $var -> index ) this would be quite a hell. Addition: sent something for his information to Aeron
*SmartiE* Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 id say which ever is the Fastest and Allows the Scripter More Control over the server than IRC Gives but a language which one be to hard to learn and Understand -SmartiE
Si|ent Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I voted mIRC as half the usefulness of mtama is the ability to echo in both directions and administrate externally without need of the admin connection details themselves (trustees not admins)
Oli Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 i guess it wouldn't be hard to make a C++ program interface with an IRC client.. so that could still be possible with some more work on that side. My main concern is whether this will be "necessary" in the future of MTA.
Si|ent Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 OH, well once Blue is around I see little need fo mtama anymore, but I told Aeron that some time back. Perhaps this is why he's beginning to think of moving to something else.
Falcon Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 best would be a c++ program with the ability to use php scripts to process the data.. <? if (strpos("!cookie",$2) { $parts = explode(" ",$2); mta.say("$parts[1] wants a cookie"); } ?>

Harry Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Why? THe php is for ppl that dont uderstand c++? Make a decent php program right away, or do it completelyin c++. The only acceptable other option is a java engine in c++, that kinda fast as well. Parsing partial php is way too slow. Nice Bump btw..

Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 visual basic would be better i think its easy to make your own IRC client and make an script program with the "microsoft script control" component who's make it prosible to make an script engine with easy (with that you can let it read scripts from an .txt file and even your own extensions!). and visual Basic is probly the easiest to learn. its easy to make an script engine like MTA:MA in vb.
Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 C++ is quite easy, but the best will be to make KVirc script ; it's very simple and like mIRC script, and KVirc is open source and multi-platform (Linux users will be able to run every time MTA:mA without having to run Windows in another place). PS : but I don't know if it's possible to make MTA server connection, I tried a very bit scripting but some scripts I downloaded do a lot of things. PS2 : Sorry if it's bad english
