---------------------------------------------------
|
||
-=º<×> °ShowDowN PrO° <×>º=- What's New file !
|
||
---------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Welcome to °ShowDowN PrO° Whats New file ! I have tried to list
|
||
every new feature and fix that has been made to this new version.
|
||
Big updates are marked with "-=>" and the smaller with "-" !
|
||
I think it's pointless really to list the older version updates here.
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------
|
||
- Fixes And Additions To v12 PrO r2:
|
||
------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Here we are back again with a brand new °ShowDowN PrO° version ! Has this been
|
||
waited ? I bet. This is a big update but all the goodies you loved in the past
|
||
versions are still there. Read more about the development phase from the file
|
||
VERSIONS.TXT. °ShowDowN PrO° is packed with enourmous amount of features. Far
|
||
more than you can see by just overlooking. Developed since 1996. Note that
|
||
this v12 is a mIRC32 5.91 script now and it WILL NOT start with any other mIRC
|
||
version than 5.91 or better. Use this script always with the latest mIRC(32).
|
||
|
||
* All people who have REGISTERED this script previously, will receive new free
|
||
REGISTRATION key file compatible with this version. If you still haven't
|
||
REGISTERED your copy of °ShowDowN PrO°, please do so to support my future work
|
||
with the script. Many dedicated IRC and computer users have already purchased
|
||
the REGISTRATION, so why don't you ? It's the cheapest one around. Read on...
|
||
|
||
* I didn't raise the REGISTRATION prices ! Yes, they are still amazingly cheap.
|
||
Please read REGISTER.TXT for more details about this great offer.
|
||
|
||
* Since the previous version, the popup and menubar "Registration INFO" -items
|
||
have vanished after you purchased the key file. Very appreciated addition.
|
||
|
||
* Many people are helping me to develop this script by giving me ideas, graphics
|
||
etc. Thank you for all your support and help. And now the new things of v12:
|
||
|
||
-=> I had to remove the WaR Clones totally from the script. They were triggering
|
||
false alarms with some virus scanners. And anyway, they are useless nowadays.
|
||
|
||
-=> Fixed command property errors when the script is used with mIRC 5.91. Updated
|
||
functionality with latest mIRC 6.03. Let me know if any problems occur.
|
||
|
||
-=> The script now lets you use Nick-, Chan-, and Memoserv commands in all
|
||
compatible networks where these services are available.
|
||
|
||
-=> Advanced ratio-FServer added with many adjustable options. It took a while
|
||
to code indeed. You can select what filetypes are accepted, choose ratio,
|
||
set start credits, set "offering" message, choose channel message interval
|
||
and colour theme, list and reset stats etc etc. Error-checking to the max.
|
||
Won't accept files that are in server and informs user about typos. You can
|
||
choose to change ratio, channel message and all other options on the fly.
|
||
Menu options added for giving people free credits in Query and Nicklist
|
||
popups. Trust me, it's all good :) See Script Control [F8] - FServer tab.
|
||
|
||
-=> All received DCC files are sorted to own folders below \DCCGets\. The types
|
||
are same that the FServer uses to define if a file is an allowed upload:
|
||
Pictures, Movies, Documents, Sounds and Archives are automatically sorted.
|
||
|
||
-=> Big improvements to the script CTCP handling and replying system. Added
|
||
"Don't reply to any CTCPs (total silence)". When activated, °ShowDowN PrO°
|
||
won't send any CTCP replies to anyone. VERSION reply, SOUND/MP3 accept and
|
||
PAGEr are adjusted separately. Also added options to hide "unknown CTCP" and
|
||
"useless CTCP SOUND/MP3" request information echos. They were filling the
|
||
screen in "sound-channels". Tell me you love me :) See Script SetUp [F4].
|
||
|
||
-=> All channel flood protections and monitors updated. When you select "Warn"
|
||
in "Violator Handling", you can choose how many warnings are messaged to
|
||
person until he is kickbanned. This comes very useful if some people are
|
||
repeatedly violating channel policies. Adjust from Script SetUp [F4].
|
||
|
||
-=> Important update made to all channel scans. All nicknames that the scanner
|
||
finds, will be selected from the nickname listbox. If you scanned for eg.
|
||
clones, you can easily kick them out after scanning. It totally rules.
|
||
|
||
-=> People reported that they had problems connecting to DALNet IRC network.
|
||
They got errors like: "Closing connection: (exp/sho) Hostile script". I have
|
||
to remind you that ShowDowN PrO is not a hostile script, just some of it's
|
||
users could be :) Anyway, the problem is fixed and also for the War Clones.
|
||
|
||
-=> Many times requested "!SeeN System" added. It won't slow your script down,
|
||
since it's located in the Shadow Clone. It will record all joins, parts and
|
||
quits that happen in the channels it's on. The system has adjustable option
|
||
to send "Notice on join", telling people that !SeeN System is active. The
|
||
usage is simple. Type to channel: !seen <nickname>. Try this great feature
|
||
in popups - Shadow Clone - !SeeN System. It's fully abuse-protected too.
|
||
|
||
-=> The "Spell Checker" is now editable. You can add up to six of your phrases
|
||
or ackronyms. Example phrase: myASL Replace: I am 23/male/Finland. You will
|
||
see that this feature comes extremely handy. The setup is located in the
|
||
"Kick/Quit SetUp" dialog. Select from menubar - MAIN Control - SpellChecker
|
||
SetUp. Type: /spellcheck <ON or OFF or SETUP> to toggle Spell Checker.
|
||
|
||
-=> Totally updated the script's DALNet service controls. Requests are sent now
|
||
to <servicename>@services.dal.net directly. All new control commands are
|
||
added too. See popups - IRC Servers - DALNet services. And as you already
|
||
know, ShowDowN PrO has network specific popups (hidden in other networks).
|
||
Shortcuts added, usage: /cs <commands>, /ns <commands> and /ms <commands>.
|
||
|
||
-=> Six amazing new background pictures added. Also 12 new titlebar Skins are
|
||
included. See Script Control [F8] and the "Themes" tab. Big thanks to people
|
||
who contributed the graphics (gods of GFX). Keep sending me your artwork!
|
||
|
||
-=> The script is totally protected against /CON/CON exploits. All attempts to
|
||
request file "/con/con/con.*" are blocked in script FServer and CTCP system.
|
||
The command "/CON" is also disabled in the script for safety.
|
||
|
||
-=> The Direct Message Finder® updated. You can enter two nicknames that will be
|
||
monitored besides your current nickname. So if your nick is "Dud3" you enter
|
||
"Dude" and no channel messages get past you unnoticed. Script Control [F8].
|
||
|
||
-=> Channel "Away Scanner" added. You can easily list all people in a channel
|
||
that have marked themselves as away. See channel popup - Channel Actions.
|
||
|
||
-=> Better support for MSN Chat servers: Fixed "Not Enough Parameters" bug when
|
||
setting channel modes, added "Give Owner (+q)" and "DeOwner (-q)" options to
|
||
the nicklist popup. Updated few server notice handlings.
|
||
|
||
-=> Script's main text logo changed to less space-taking. <=- °SD v12 PrO° -=>
|
||
is now ((SD v12 PrO)). The new one isn't so aggressive, don't you agree ?
|
||
|
||
-=> You can enter a channel keyword now after the channel name in the AutoJoin
|
||
SetUp. Requested many times. Type: /autojoin to access the advanced setup.
|
||
|
||
- Improved FRIEND AutoOP system. Added option to the Script Setup [F4], where
|
||
you can choose if the OPed friend is sent a script message or not. Requested.
|
||
|
||
- Better mp3 player. When you select a file to play with: /mp3play, you will see
|
||
the file's artist, title, length, genre, bitrate and CRCs status depending on
|
||
the mp3's tag. "mp3 Public Play" feature uses same format. Try it out as:
|
||
/mp3pub <nor or plain> <nickname or #channel>. Also better error-checking.
|
||
|
||
- Added all script's automatic channel protection and monitor kicks to nicklist
|
||
popup. They use the kick messages you set in: /kicksetup. You can kick people
|
||
as your channel protections were active, although they aren't. It's like you
|
||
had "Fake channel protections" :) I love it. See nicklist popup - Cool Kicks.
|
||
|
||
- The "Create mp3 List" feature makes now a better list. Files are numbered,
|
||
length is correctly shown and bitrate is included. Try: /mp3list, rox on !
|
||
|
||
- Boosted up Nick Completion. Option "Show nick property (@,+,%) in output" is
|
||
added. Usage: /c <part of nick> <message>. See Script Control [F8] - Themes.
|
||
|
||
- The "Port Virus Scanner" will now look for unknown *.VBS files in your hard
|
||
drive. If found, info is given. See menubar - Script Control - Virus Scanner.
|
||
|
||
- Command: /links works again. One "halt-command" prevented it from working.
|
||
|
||
- Improved self-ban protection. You can adjust "Protect own hostmask when OPed"
|
||
from Script SetUp [F4] - Priv. Shadow Clone will also protect it's hostmask.
|
||
|
||
- Added option to give random insults or pickup lines to people. Be careful with
|
||
the insults as they might be quite hideous! Pickup lines on the other hand,
|
||
are quite effective(?). Find them in query and nicklist popups - Fun Actions.
|
||
|
||
- When you get connected to IRC server, the logon info will show the IRC network
|
||
you joined, if the information is available.
|
||
|
||
- The Direct Message Finder DMF® is disabled now when your Away System is ON.
|
||
|
||
- Added option to ignore on join .HTM and .HTML DCC sends. They have been a pain
|
||
recently, so here comes the cure. See Script SetUp [F4] - Misc tab.
|
||
|
||
- Due to many requests, timestamping (displays eg. [19:05] time for events) is
|
||
now easier to adjust. See menubar - SCRIPT Control - Timestamping.
|
||
|
||
- Features "Event Counter" now. It will keep track of how many times you have
|
||
been OPed, DeOPed, Voiced, DeVoiced or kicked from channels. It's fun to check
|
||
every now and then. Check out at: menubar - SCRIPT Control - Script STATS.
|
||
|
||
- When you start the script, you will see the current date and your online time
|
||
(based on the online timer) in the script titlebar. They disappear on connect.
|
||
|
||
- Added "War Clone Userinfo Randomizer" that gives each Clone a new "Real name",
|
||
E-mail address and Identd on startup. "Nickname Randomizer" is added too.
|
||
Really useful if you use Clones often and need them to be undercover.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed script kick, deop and ban protections. Now won't try to revenge service
|
||
bots. For example, the script won't attack nick: services.galaxynet.org.
|
||
|
||
- Added "Accelerate DCC (sends)" option to menubar - SCRIPT Control and in query
|
||
and nicklist popups DCC Options. It uses mIRC's PDCC and should work good.
|
||
|
||
- Undernet W control is removed since there is only X available nowadays.
|
||
|
||
- Updated the "Filter Kick" feature. Will now gather channel user addresses if
|
||
they are not available. This is an useful feature to have. Let's say you want
|
||
all people from Poland to be kicked from your channel. You select from channel
|
||
popup - Channel Actions - Channel Filters and enter ".pl" to the prompt. Easy.
|
||
|
||
- Away System channel message displays your "Away since:" date in an universal
|
||
format now. For example: Feb 01 2001. Fixed also the script startup display.
|
||
The Away System activation time and date are saved to away message log now.
|
||
|
||
- Support for DALNet's "DCC Allow" added. You can select quickly from query, DCC
|
||
chat and channel nicklist popups to add/remove an user. In status and channel
|
||
popups - IRC Servers - DALNet services, you can find LIST and HELP commands.
|
||
|
||
- The "On Join Message" feature in menubar/popups - Channel Actions, won't print
|
||
any script logo or advertisement at the end of the message anymore. Nice.
|
||
|
||
- After many requests from nice ladies, I have updated the script's famous
|
||
"Love Actions". They are unisex now. See popups - Fun Actions - Love Actions.
|
||
All the other "Slaps" and "Actions" in the popups are updated too. *Phew*
|
||
|
||
- FServer will take credits when the send is started, not when it's finished.
|
||
Protections against !Trigger-flood and erroneus file-requests also added.
|
||
|
||
- CTCP SOUND and MP3 handling system is protected against all exploits or
|
||
erroneus requests with unknown characters in the filename.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a small bug occuring when you had "Whois to active window" and "Direct
|
||
all script echos to status window" active in the same time.
|
||
|
||
- Added "Add Play !" and "PlayCentral" options to popups - Fun Actions - Play
|
||
AscII Art. They are useful dialogs that help you to organize your /play queue.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed "Has been idle" output in the /whois report. Displays correct idle time.
|
||
|
||
- Removed feature "Show status (@,+,%) in channel text" because mIRC includes
|
||
this feature. See mIRC Options - IRC - Show mode prefix.
|
||
|
||
- DALNet's external channel information is now printed on the channel when you
|
||
join it. Those infos are: topic (and who set it), creation time and website.
|
||
|
||
- The "Fake Channel" in popups - Fun Actions is now working in most networks.
|
||
|
||
- Tuned the "DCC AutoView" feature a bit. Will display ID3 tag information now.
|
||
|
||
- Can do a "Join/Part Cycle Flood" with War Clones even in key protected #chans.
|
||
|
||
- The popup item "WaR Actions" in Normal Mode popups will disappear after you
|
||
have read the "WaR INFO" once. Or type: /wacts to make the item vanish.
|
||
|
||
- If you enabled the "CTCP Ignore" [F3] or "Full Ignore" [F2], they will really
|
||
stay active until you press the function key again.
|
||
|
||
- Listed REGISTRATION price in Euro's. Type: /register in the script's prompt.
|
||
|
||
- Modified the feature "Reject Virus/Script.ini Sends" to reject all *.vbs file
|
||
send attempts. Never run those *.VBS files people might send you.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed the "Protect Own Hostmask When OPed" feature. Won't kick you anymore.
|
||
|
||
- Upgraded file selector dialogs with case-sensitive "OK" buttons. <- Hebrew? :)
|
||
|
||
- Changed all "Colour" words to "Color". Few times requested by US citizens.
|
||
|
||
- Switchbar graphic added. It reminds you about the script's [F]unction keys.
|
||
|
||
- Added "/CON/CON Hack" to War popups - War Hacks. Should cause infinite loop.
|

|
||
|
||
- QuickMenu® has now "Set-buttons" for you to assign Browser, FTP Client, mp3
|
||
Player and Other Application. Easy to change if you uninstall some program.
|
||
|
||
- Improved notify informer. Will display the notify message too. Also clearer.
|
||
|
||
- Network service bots added to the notify list. See mIRC Address book.
|
||
|
||
- Added a registry patch that disinfects and protects from the Coolnote trojan.
|
||
Find the patches in War popups - War Utils - Disinfections. All the patches
|
||
are verified by F-Secure® and are safe to use.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed few typos from here and there. Thanks for helping me to spot them.
|
||
|
||
- The FServer will regognize *.asf files as "Movies" now too.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
- The "Kick Counter" in menubar - SCRIPT Control - Script STATS will now count
|
||
the totals correctly. No matter how many persons you kicked simultaneously.
|
||
|
||

|
||
instantly, you can type: /cycle <message> or just: /cycle.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
- Fixed IRC server notice blocking for useless messages.
|
||

|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||

|
||
|
||
- New computer jokes added to popups - Fun Actions - Funny Quotes.
|
||
|
