mIRC Trouble Shooting

Why didn't that work? Whats wrong with this? Many times when writing your own script you're going to have problems.

Echo Everything

If you are trying to find out about a raw numeric or anything else have it echo 4 $parms.
Example 1 - Remote, Commands:
1:DCC SEND: {
   echo 4 $parms
}
Example 2 - Raw Section:
317:*: {
   echo 4 $parms
}
Then once you have echo'd it you'll know which $parms to assign.

If you are having problems with a complex if-then-else statement, put an echo in after each step saying what its doing. Then you can follow the echo's to find out where its going wrong.

Check Everything

Make sure that:
1. Listening is checked.
2. Internal Address List is checked(some identifiers require it)
3. The person testing your script is the right level in the users list.
4. You aren't trying to test the remote, event's on yourself.
5. Make sure you're using the right identifier for that section.
These are just some of the more common problems that people have.
