This is just for AmIRC users who use XDCC Bots. If you ever have requested files off XDCC Bots on IRC, you know that they can be a pain. A lot of typing that is repeatative. Some people set Buttons and some people set F-Keys in AmIRC. There have been average attempts at scripts also, but alas nothing to make it a definately perfect solution. The Answer? I saw Bossman^'s XdccGetFile (v2.1) AmIRC script and instantly thought, it is good but lacks a million things that people do need. Mostly it was cumbersome to use due to not full and proper keyboard support. Also it didn't support /Msg XDCC support for Un*x type XDCC Bots and lacked multiple pack requesting. After being frustrated enough, I worked and fixed it for my own needs. Nearing what was v3.00beta I asked Bossman^ if I could release it publically. He agreed and the rest is @{" history " link History}. This program is specifically made to work in conjunction with AmIRC. I found myself having too many buttons in AmIRC thus the original GUI by @{" Bossman^ " link History} I saw was a great idea. I also found that on occasions that some XDCC Bots only supported /Msg XDCC commands instead of the usual /CTCP XDCC commands. Thus extending the GUI was needed. The program was made to make it easier to get XDCC Packs. More current versions has made this program even more powerful for people that want to go directly to certain parts inside the program (See @{" Usage " link Usage}). XDCC-Get was made to support the following: @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} An easy to use GUI to request XDCC packs from. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Has temporary DCC AutoGet for Kuang 11 v3.x or higher users. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} CTCP & Msg XDCC requests. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Multiple CTCP/Msg XDCC requesting. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Protection so only numeric packs will be requested. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Anti-Flooding protection on Multi-requesting. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Open a Query window to view the XDCC list in. (Optional) @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Start in any part of the program in CTCP or Msg format. (Even Listing) @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Clean output. (CTCP and Msg output are Clean) @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} FULL mouse/keyboard support for every pack number. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Optimised code. @{fg highlight}-@{fg text} Jump to the author's Web Page.

There are numerous tools on various formats to XDCC Offer (Give out files). @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} What program would I use to set up a XDCC to offer from? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} For AmIRC, Kuang 11 is the best I have seen. The easiest is the XDCC API built into AmIRC v2.0+. For Unix BitchX is very good. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} I have installed XDCC-Get but when I try to run it, it doesn't work? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Make sure rexxreqtools.library is in Libs: and XdccGet.amirx is in your AmIRC/Rexx drawer. If you are using the Alias /XDCCGet then re-enter it using /Alias XDCCGet /Rx XdccGet.amirx %p Then save your AmIRC prefs. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} XDCC-Get GUI is nice, but why isn't it MUI? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Because XdccGetFile originally was written to use RexxReqTools and still is as my main priority was to firstly get it to a level that I wanted. Its slow enough as is and I have optimised the code. With MUI it would be even slower. I will look into MUI though and do a trial version to see the speed. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} When I order a few packs through the Multi Input Window it sends the requests out slowly, Why? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} I made XDCC-Get so you will not flood the person you are requesting packs from. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} Why doesn't XDCC-Get open a window that the list appears in and you click on the pack name to get it? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} XDCC-Get is AREXX, to do that it would be very slow. Making it API (Which I am considering) would make it better. XDCC listings are also not uniform unfortunately which causes heaches on making such an option. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} Why doesn't XDCC-Get work on Windows(TM)? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} It would require a 2000 Intel Parrallel CPU system that could warm up the dark side of pluto to 500,000 degrees celcius just to get it work like on an A500. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} When I use XDCC-Get for multiple manual inputs requests, I put in 1 5 8 and it comes back with an error that quits the program, why? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} You are supposed to separate the packs with a , only (Example: 1,5,8). Also make sure the script is still called XdccGet.amirx as renaming it will cause troubles. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} Can I donate a small sum of money to author for his effort? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Yes, contact me via EMail to organise the best way if you wish to do so. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} I have an idea for it I wish to see, would you add it? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} I have added nearly all additions requested off me that are possible. @{" Contact me " link Contact} ASAP and I will definately try to implement it at least. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} Where do I get new versions of XDCC-Get? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} At this stage Aminet or @{" me " link Contact} directly on my XDCC. Also now available at: http://www.sub.net.au/~sykoe/ @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} I think I found a bug in XDCC-Get, should I notify the Author? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Please do @{" Contact me " link Contact}. I enjoy feedback and hopefully one day I wish to remove all the bugs out of this program. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} I think I know a better way of doing some of the coding in XDCC-Get. @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Please @{" Contact me " link Contact} to let me know how. @{fg highlight}Q)@{fg text} Can I use some of the code in XDCC-get in my own ARexx scripts? @{fg highlight}A)@{fg text} Yes, I learnt and built this up by looking and learning at other's code (and also the good ol' Workbench 3.1 Arexx Manual). @endnode @node History "XDCC-Get v3.42 - History" @prev FAQ @next ToDo @help HelpPage @font XEN.font 11 @{b}History:@{ub} @{u}For v2.1 and previous:@{uu} XdccGetFile.amirx 2.1 - (C) 1997 by Bossman^ IRC: Bossman^ Email: bosman@erols.com Web:www.erols.com/bosman More of Bossman^'s AmIRC scripts can be found on his Homepage.
