If you want all the following to work without any problems, you will first need to make sure your mIRC is not in c:\program files\mirc.
mIRC is meant to actually run in the root directory of your computer, in other words in c:\mirc. So first you will need to close mIRC and using explorer simply drag the mirc folder into c:
Bear in mind that if you normally start mIRC from start .. programs .. that isnt going to work anymore. Or if you have an icon on your desktop, the path is going to be incorrect, you will need to edit that icon or delete it and make a new one.
To create a new icon, using explorer double click on c:\mirc then right click on the mirc32 file and select "send to" .. desktop (create shortcut)
From the pull-down menu bar at the top of your mIRC screen click Tools/Options/Sounds. Tick the box that says Enable Sounds.
Select the next menu Tools/Options/Sounds/Requests and tick all the boxes in there. Then make sure the Wave (*.wav) files are pointing to c:\mirc\sounds\
Always make sure you say "ok" after making any changes in these dialogue boxes
First of all, you will need to have a sound wav in your sounds folder.
Once you have done everything above, if someone plays a sound wav you will see a comment in the channel like * Sound request: cannot find 'applause.wav' followed by Shazzzz [Sound].
Simply use that information you see to type:
!Shazzzz applause.wav
You can type that in the channel, and because of the settings you ticked above, it will only show to the nick you are requesting off.
There have been problems with some people not being able to send as described above, so we have put a few of the more common files on this website for you to download.
Click Here and follow the instructions
Once you have the file you can play it in one of the following ways:
Either: Using the example of a sound file named applause.wav:i.e. type in the channel window:
/sound applause.wav
Anyone that has that wav and their sound options turned on, will then hear that sound
Or: You can add a popup so it opens your *.wav folder to let you select from there. Type alt P (alt key and letter p together). A dialogue box will open showing your popups. At the top of that box, select "view" and then click on channel. The command you need to insert in there is: Play A Wave:/sound $$file="Choose a wave!" $wavedir
(Now where you need to insert it really is a matter of choice. Because further in this help file we are going to add a command for mp3's, I would suggest you make this popup the first thing in that dialogue box, you can always move it later.)
Then all you need to do is right click in the channel window, you will see "Play A Wave" the top of the popup list, click on that and your sounds folder will open, double click on the sound you want to play and TADA!!!
This is all very similar to sounds but you need to make sure the path for your mp3's in the dialogue box is correct.
Using Tools/Options/Sounds/Requests, where the drop down box is showing Wave (*.wav) click on the arrow and select MP3(*.mp3).
On the button under that is where any MP3's will currently download. Most people will have their MP3's in a specific folder on their computer, not necessarily in mIRC.
Click on that button and point it to where your MP3's are currently stored, and dont forget to click OK.
You now need to go into Dcc\folders and look in there to see if mp3's are listed. If so check the path where you store your MP3's is correct.
If not click on that line and select edit, and again, using the button showing the path, point mIRC to the correct folder.
If there isn't an specific path for MP3's, click on waves and select edit. MP3's will most probably appear in there like this: *.wav,*.mid,*.mp3,*.wma,*.ogg. Remove only the following: *.mp3, and click ok.
Now click on the add button and in "save files with this extension" type *.mp3, click on the "Into this folder" button and make it point to your MP3 folder and leave the rest of the fields empty. Click ok then click ok again to close the dialogue box.
Unlike sound wavs mIRC doesnt warn you a MP3 does'nt exist, nor does it play on demand if you do have the MP3 on your computer.
But the same principal applies to getting a file you see someone play. You use !nick filename.mp3. For example, you might see in the channel *Shawnie is listening to Oasis - Wonderwall.mp3* so you would type:
!Shawnie Oasis - Wonderwall.mp3Once you have the file you can play it in one of the following ways:
Either: Using the example of a sound file named Oasis - Wonderwall.mp3 type in the channel window /splay Oasis - wonderwall.mp3
Nothing shows in the channel but you will hear the song yourself
Or: You can add a popup so it opens your *.mp3 folder to let you select from there.
Type alt P (alt key and letter p together). A dialogue box will open showing your popups. At the top of that box, select "view" and then click on channel.
The command you need to insert in there is:
Play a MP3:/splay -p $$file="Choose a file!" $mp3dir | /me is listening to $nopath $nopath($insong.fname)
For now, add it directly under the wave command you have already added. When you right click in the channel now, you can either select a sound or a MP3
Alternatively you can download this MP3 player for Windows Media player. Unzip it to your Windows Media Player Folder
Once you start fiddling and playing with various popups you will find it necessary to sort your popups into an easier to manage format. If your channel popups was a clean file it probably only had Channel Modes:/channel as the only popup. It will now look like this in the dialogue box
Channel Modes:/channelPlay A Wave:/sound $$file="Choose a wave!" $wavedir
PlayMp3 basic:/splay -p $$file="Choose a file!" $mp3dir | /describe $chan is listening to $nopath($insong.fname)
and show as three separate lines when you right click in the channel to see the popups.
Try editing the dialogue box to look like this:
Channel Modes:/channel
-
Sounds
.Play A Wave:/sound $$file="Choose a wave!" $wavedir
.PlayMp3 basic:/splay -p $$file="Choose a file!" $mp3dir | /describe $chan is listening to $nopath($insong.fname)
-
See how that changes how the popups look when you right click in the channel.
Now what you have done so far is to play and grab files in the channel. You can make the exact same thing happen in an private message window. Open the dialogue box and copy the five lines relating to the sounds popups, (including the hyphen above and below the words), then select view at the top of the dialogue box, click on query, then paste those lines into the top of that dialogue box.
