Welcome to shroudIRC! shroudIRC is a script for advanced mIRC users, which has grown from a very basic, simple and personal collection of aliases to a fully-fledged all-purpose script. At the beginning (i.e. in August 2002) shroudIRC consisted of just one script-file (76 lines), while current versions include almost 50 script files (several thousand lines of code), 15 hash files, a custom dll for scrambling your passwords and a user-friendly manual. If this is the first time, you use shroudIRC, you should setup your new script as follows: ### general shroudIRC settings First of all you should modify the general settings to suit your needs. Please click here to open the shroudIRC setup dialog. ### Themes Themes allow you to change the design of mIRC (i.e. the fonts that are used, background images, the way text is displayed, etc.) Click here to choose from the available themes. ### Networks After having checked the general settings and selecting a theme, you can add networks, you want to connect to, when you start shroudIRC. Click here to do that now. ### Channels You can also specify, which channels you want shroudIRC to automagically join on startup. Click here to add some channels. ### Auth If you want shroudIRC to auth you to the network services, you have to enter your passwords. Click here, if your network uses NickServ or here, if you are going to connect to QuakeNet. Undernet's X-service is also supported, which you can configure here. ### MP3-script (optional) shroudIRC allows you to tell your fellow chatters, which song you are currently listening to with winAMP. To do that, you have to select a theme, which describes the design of these mp3-status-messages. Click here to select a theme now. In addition to that you can offer your songs to other irc users using a trigger. Other chatters just have to type your trigger word (which is !yournick by default) to initiate a DCC. You can change your trigger word and various other options of the MP3 script here. When you're finished configuring shroudIRC, you should read the commands overview. This overview contains a brief description of most available shroudIRC commands. Click here to dive into the world of IRC.
