OverHauling mIRC to chat with style

Most of you IRC fans out there probably are using the most popular IRC client, mIRC. Well, mIRC is great for starters who prefer simplicity over style and functionality but for most of you who’ve been using mIRC for years there are many nice addons available out there to make your online life easier. One such nice addon is NoNameScript.

NoNameScript gives mIRC a completely new look with dozens of extra features that’ll makes chatting on IRC more fun, stylish and convenient for you. NoNameScript equips mIRC with beautiful and efficient Tree-based view on the right side of the chat client to show which servers you’re connected to and which chatrooms you’re hangin’ out in.

Other than the visual candy which itself enough to impress many of your friends there are features like a lagBar to let you know if you’re lagging behind your server, controlled pasting options to let you paste huge articles without getting kicked out for flooding, lots of new slap messages to tease your friends with, bad-words/SPAM/flood protection & mail check.

NoNameScript lets you customise the toolbar & status bar with the tools of your choice. In my example, as you can see in the image, it shows the date & time along with dcc upload/download rate and the contents that are in the clipboard at the moment.

You can write multiple quit messages and NoNameScript will randomly show one of those each time you quit. I like the auto-clipboard feature alot, you simply need to select any piece of text with ur cursor and it’ll automatically be copied to clipboard.

Installation:

Installation of NoNameScript is pretty straight forward, just get the latest version of mIRC from http://www.mirc.com/ install it in a new directory and then get NoNameScript’s Installer from http://www.nnscript.com/

During the NoNameScript’s installation it’ll prompt you to choose the mIRC directory, if you’ve installed mIRC into a customized directory, just choose the mIRC directory with the browse button and click next. You are all set.

Conclusion:

All in all, NoNameScript gives mIRC a completely new look, it not only changes mIRC visually but also tunes it internally to add all of those useful features I just wrote about. I hope this article helps you make your IRC experience a bit more fun with NoNameScript.
