Have you ever connected to IRC and discovered that your nick is taken by someone else or not available?
This mIRC script helps to address this issue and to automatically reclaim your nick once it's available. You can configure different nicks for different networks.
Nick change could be triggered by several server events or by the timer. Actual mode depends on whether you are on a common channel with the person that uses your nick or not.
Download the KeepMyNick.mrc from here (right click and save).
To install place KeepMyNick.mrc script in mIRC directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\mIRC), open mIRC and type:
/load -rs KeepMyNick.mrc
- KEEPNICK - Assigns <nick> to <network> (or current network.) W/o argument disables grabbing until reconnection.
/keepnick [<nick>] [<network>|default]
- LISTNICK - Displays list of nicks: current network or all networks.
/listnick [-all]
- DELNICK - Removes nick associated with <network> (or current network) from list
/delnick [<network>|default]
For graphic setup, open mIRC and go to Menu->Commands->KeepMyNick v1.5
Open mIRC and type:
/unload -rs KeepMyNick.mrc
There are no current plans for further development.
