The script is tested with mIRC versions from 5.6 up to 6.21
and is still
working flawlessly - unchanged since 2002!
| GETTING PREPARED |
First you copy the 4wins.txt file int your mircdir Then type /load -rs 4wins.txt at status line First connect to an IRC-server of your choice Then find somebody who wants to play the game with you - when loaded your opponent will be able to auto-fetch the file from you by using /ctcp <yournick> 4wins.txt Of course you can send the script to your opponent yourself or have him fetch the script from the webpage |
DOWNLOAD 4WINS.TXT |
| STARTING A GAME |
Once both of you have the script you simply hit the right (not the left :) mouse button in a query to your opponent and select which game you'd like to invite your opponent to play with you. Note: You can use this context menu when right- clicking on your opponents nick... or you can send a request to a whole channel and play with the first person who answers. (use this function with care!) The original 7x6 version and custom sizes will be included in the upcoming version 2.x. |
4 Wins > The context menu which |
| ACCEPTING A GAME |
When you receive a game request and have the script loaded, then a box like this ====> should pop up and ask you for what to do 2s before the box pops up there will be a line of text telling you about the incoming request so you can stop typing before the box intercepts it :) |
|
| GAMEPLAY | ||
| PHASE I (Init) |
As soon as your opponent or you accept a game a window will pop up. If you requested the game then your window will open as soon as your opponent sends you his acknowledge. The default text for "Waiting for Opponent" |
 |
| PHASE II (first move) |
As seen in the picture to the right the game has been established and now the first move should be made... Look at the => pointer at the blue name, it tells you who's turn it is! Because you're always the 1st nick you will always play with your favourite color => You can change the colors via context menu while NOT in game.... |
 |
| PART III (gameplay) |
Now you see how an example board could look like after some moves... in this situation both can nearly complete a 4-Wins match... Note the "block 'o three"... and notice that's it red's turn... Because red can complete the 4 stones in a row first this means that red will win the match... (see below) |
 |
| PART IV (game over) |
One move later red won the match :) If your opponent colses his window then you will get a notification about this happening! Because the game to the right is over, there is no need for last move and for the "next turn" indicator so i removed them! |
 |
| Misc | There is a context-popup-menu available when' the game window is open which offers to toggle logging or to take a screenshot! |
|
| PS: My Script is 100% virus and backdoor free - and because
it's open source you can verify this yourself! The script has been tested to work with many popular scripts like PnP and worked fine - it was designed to be as compatible as possible, but one can never make a "prefect" code - so feel free to inform me of bugs that you encounter. If you're concerned on performance and flood protection: i have done my best to ensure that none of the script functions which automatically send out text are floodable, the protection which i used is a bit "delayed" but it works great - especially because it does not differ between users but limits the effective messages to one per 10-15 seconds - counting that there is NO request between - if there is, then the delay is prolonged and the timer "overwritten" - so there should be no chance of flooding you off due to my script. |
