New Installs
Move ALL files to your mIRC folder

then in any window type  /load -rs at_install.mrc
then in any window type  /at_install

Once installed you'll see the choices offered by the script by right clicking in an active channel, status or select "Commands" in the menu bar.. AutoTRIG® (Off/Off).

Upgrades
Move unzipped files to mIRC folder.. right click in active channel, status or select "Commands" in the menu bar.. click AutoTRIG®  (Off/Off) line.. select Utilities and then Upgrade AT® .. press the button.. new upgrade will then be loaded. If you are wanting to re-install AutoTRIG, and do not want the old data to remain, uncheck the box at the bottom of the install dialog, and the data will be overwritten. The install script will compare your version of mIRC with a list of versions AT® has been tested with.  If the version has not been tested, you will be notified, installation can still continue at your own risk.

Uninstall
This selection allows for removal of AT®.  All script files will be removed from mIRC remote and all AT® variables will be erased from the common variable window.  The AutoTRIG® folder with scripts and data files will remain intact and will need to be removed by hand if you want total removal.  Uninstall is found under Utilities in the main AT® menu.

Allows entering your favorite channels (you may choose to join or part any or all of them), and allows selection of which channels will see your offers.  This panel also maintains a time separation between offers and allows you to start an offer timer.  Enabling and disabling trigger response is also handled on this panel.  If you use removable media (such as CD's or Zip/Jaz), you can input the current on-line volumes in this area and then update the trigger lists and to view them. Entry of Sends/User for AutoTRIG® and FServer triggers.

Offer timer
Enter the desired number of minutes between offers and push the START TIMER button. To stop offer display press the same button that will now be labeled STOP TIMER

Trigger Master
Select to ENABLE / DISABLE  trigger use.  When 'disabling' there are four choices:

Normal              that places a notice in display channels that your triggers are off-line
w/Message       same as normal but allows you input a short message to the channel
Countdown       gives a timed notice that triggers will soon be off-line
Silent                 only notice of off-line triggers is to those currently receiving transfers

Command Line functions
There are 3 command line functions to assist with controlling parts of AT99®.

/alos will start and stop the offers timer
/alo <offer number> will display the offer number entered to the channel in which the command is typed
/atts will start and stop the master trigger control.

Sends/Person
Enter the desired number of sends at one time to any one individual person for AutoTRIG® and FServer triggers.

Reserved
The total box displays the max sends you have chosen in mIRC DCC options. The Reserved box is for entry of the number of total sends you want to save for use only when sending .csv and .txt files. The idea is to allow users to be able to get the small files like .csvs as quickly as possible. Recommend at least 1 or 2 reserved slots.

Note: you can control the total number of sends at one time to ALL users with a function under mIRC's DCC|Options. This does not limit manually initiating a DCC send but it does apply to  users who request a DCC send remotely  i.e. via AutoTRIG®.

Channel entry

Enter the channel name, the associated check box enables/disables offer displays for the selected channel, in addition to choices for joining or parting the channel. To remove a channel, highlight the channel name.. hit space and then push the 'ENTER' button next to the trigger name. The 'JOIN' and 'PART' buttons allow you join and part your favorite channels.

Removable media

Enter the Volume ID of the on-line CD's and Zip/Jaz, the script can then create an updated trigger.txt list that accurately reflects the collections that are currently on-line. The "Volume ID" is described below in the Trigger Wizard section.

Enable/Enforce Class

Toggle status of each user class, enabling/enforcing the class or not.  Works the same as the controls within AT Options, just makes them more accessible.

Trigger Lists
Choose to update any of the trigger lists and review the results.

Active Trigger List
refers to the .txt file containing only the currently on-line triggers (based on your input of the on-line removable volumes).

Singles Trig List (SGL.txt)
refers to a .txt file that contains ONLY single file type triggers that are currently on-line

Collections Trig List (COL.txt)
refers to a .txt file that contains ONLY collection type triggers that are currently on-line

Removable Trigger List (REM.txt)
Consists ONLY of the triggers that are contained on removable media.

Logging
View, erase or START / STOP  logging of trigger requests. There are also functions for quickly sorting some the more common log results.. such as viewing all busy trigger requests. The logging file (AutoTrig.txt) is now limited to a 10,000 line maximum, as new logging entries go in, older ones are removed. 'Busy' requests are no longer logged.

Control Panel can be opened at any time and remain open your entire session or closed at any time.  There also 3 command line functions to assist with controlling parts of AT99®.  /alos will start and stop the offers timer, /alo <offer number> will display the offer number entered to the channel in which the command is typed, and /atts will start and stop the master trigger control.

OFFERS WINDOW

Allows entry of Offers (channel ads) and keeps an equal time spacing between them. The current version manages up to 99 offers..  (User has control over number of offers to be available on their system up to 99).

Offers Popup Menu

An Offers popup menu is available by right clicking in the Offer window.. choices include Edit/Creation Wizard, Delete, Status, Test, Display to channel selections, Start/Stop Offers Timer, in addition to control of the Offer window settings (described later in this document).

The 'Delete' button can be more than it says, depending on settings on the Offers Page in Options.  Delete can be used to ONLY delete the selected offer.  By choosing Delete 'Single Triggers' w/Offer in options, there will be a second menu choice to delete any "Single File type triggers associated with the offer.  By also selecting the Delete associated file option, a third menu item will appear that allows to remove the offer, trigger AND the associated file with one click. In fact.. by highlighting multiple offers, you can remove several offers, triggers and files with one click.

Note: if choosing to delete files along with offers and triggers, the file will actually be moved to a folder under mIRC named Recycle.  Any deleted files can be recovered from that folder by using Explorer or another file manager. Or deleted permanently by selection in the 'Recycle window'.

Once an Offer is created.. double click it to turn the offer status to ON/OFF. An Offer can be removed from rotation simply by toggling its status to the OFF position. Testing an offer results in echoing the offer in a channel window to see how it will appear to others when actually sent to the channel.  You can choose to manually send offers to all selected channels or ONE individual channel from the Offers window popup menu.  Start/Stop the offers timer from the offers window.

Edit/Offer Wizard

Dialog that allows editing of an existing offer or the creation of a new one. The wizard allows you to choose elements to include in a basic offer. The message created differs depending on the elements chosen and the type of trigger that is being targeted (single file or collection).  To use the wizard hit the CREATE button, enter the reference number of the trigger you wish to target and select from the choices provided, press CREATE again and you will be able to edit, test or save the offer created by the wizard. There are three templates available for "Single File" triggers and another 3 templates for "Collection" triggers.

Color selections are made by pressing <ctrl>k and using mIRC's own color dialog.

Offer Identifiers

The following identifiers can be used in an offer to represent information you may wish to present:

  *ctrig       number of currently on-line COLLECTION type triggers
  *ftrig        number of currently on-line FSERVE triggers
  *strig       number of currently on-line Single FILE type triggers  
  *bw          bandwidth currently used (cps)
  *chan      channel the offer is displayed in.. displays proper channel name
  *etime     duration of time since updating the last single trigger to appear in an offer
  *ip           your current ip number (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
  *me         your current nick
  *new        date and time of last editing of active triggers (01Mar@10:01)
  *etime     elapsed time since single file in offer was last updated (such as trig list) *new
  *mtime    date and time of the last single trigger to appear in an offer
  *max       the number of max sends defined within mIRC
  *fmax      the number of max fserve sessions defined within mIRC *new
  *sends    the number of sends currently in progress
  *fserv      the number of active fserve sessions in progress *new
  *cds        the identity of current on-line cd's (CD_1)
  *zips        the identity of current on-line zip/jaz drives (Zip_1)
  *trigson    total number of triggers currently on-line
  *trigsoff    total number of triggers currently off-line
  *trigstot    total number of triggers

Identifiers are shown in the Offer Wizard in a scroll box.  By double clicking a particular identifier.. you will add it to the 'end' of the offer. The following identifiers are used for display of trigger information, in addition to making sure your nick is always displayed properly in the trigger,

Format: #T900 *T900 #C900 *C900 *D900:

      *C1     the name of trigger CSV:  !Trigger.CSV
      #C1     the complete triggerCSV: /ctcp yournick !Trigger.CSV
      *T1      the name of trigger:  !Trigger
      #T1     the complete trigger: /ctcp yournick !Trigger
      *D1     the trigger description text

A typical raw offer might look like this example:

Raw:    offers SDC99.  Type #T60 for the scans, and #C60 for the csv.

 Actual display:   HackerOne offers SDC99. Type /ctcp HackerOne !SDC99 <filename> for the scans, and /ctcp HackerOne !SDC99.CSV for the csv.

 

Offer Modifiers

Displaying random collections can be accomplished by beginning an offer line with #random. Using #random 4  would result in displaying only collections updated in the last 4 days. The requirements for an offer to display a collection:

      1)  the description for the trigger must contain [folder count/csv count] details
      2)  the counts of folder and csv must match (100%)
      3)  the trigger must be turned on
      4) if a CD or ZIP mounted collection.. it must be Online

While it is possible to intermix dedicated identifiers with random identifiers, any random identifier must be carefully inputted with NO trigger number information (ie: *T #T *C #C *D):

Raw: #random _3r_2a_4n_5d_7o_10m_12l_1y_ offers _4*D_. Get the scans with #T or the csv #C _14(*sends/*max *bwcps)

Actual Display: HackerOne randomly offers SunScan (173). Get the scans with /ctcp HackerOne !SunScan <filename> or the csv /ctcp HackerOne !SunScan.CSV (4/4 6883cps)

The following modifiers let you control the display of specific offers to specific channels. There are 2 types.. one inclusive, the other exclusive.

Inclusive

To include a specific channel to receive a specific offer, begin the offer with the following modifier: #chan:<chan number(s)> where <chan number> refers to the channel line in the control panel containing the channel(s) in question.  If, for example you want to include the channel on line 1 and line 4, the offer would begin with #chan:1,4

Exclusive

To exclude a specific channel from receiving a specific offer, begin the offer with the following modifier: #chanX:<chan number(s)> where <chan number> refers to the channel line in the control panel containing the channel(s) in question.  If for example you want to exclude the channel on line 1 and line 4, the offer would begin with #chanX:1,4

Note: Use only one modifier per offer, DO NOT place both #chan: and #chanX: in the same offer! It is acceptable to include BOTH a #chan type modifier AND #random in the same offer!

 

Template Wizard

Dialog that allows editing of templates that can control the way your offers look when the offer is created through the Offer Wizard.  Operation of the Template Wizard is very similar to the Offer Wizard.  There are some additional "variables" that are needed by the Template Wizard which are listed below.  The "variables" listed above are all also available for use with the Template Wizard.  You can create 3 different templates for "Collection" type offers and 3 unique templates for use with "Single File" type offers. Once you have made changes to existing template, simply hit the "Save" button to be able to use it in future Offer Wizard sessions.

      *title      the name of the collection or file
      *fsize    the file size of a single file trigger:  [25.6k]
      *Vcount the number of files listed in the CSV
      *Fcount the files residing in a collection folder

Allows you to create and control triggers.. AT® handles up to 1500 triggers.. including your choice of 'single file', 'collection' or 'FServe' type triggers. A trigger consists of several basic pieces of information. The trigger ID (ie: !Scanmaster), trigger path (location to of file or folder that is being triggered), CSV path (if trigger also offers a csv file), description (ie: BigCenterfold [547/547]). AT® also supports ecsvs for collections like PhotoShoot, the request for this type of collection must include the \pathname\filename details within the trigger structure.

Trigger Popup Menu
An Trigger popup menu is available by right clicking in the Trigger window.. Choices include New, Edit, Delete, View, Tools, Offer Wiz, in addition to Utilities and control of the Trigger window settings (described later in this document).

New
There are 3 types of triggers, 'single file', 'collection' and 'FServe' style. When selecting NEW TRIGGER WIZARD to create a trigger.. choose the type of trigger being created from the choices in the popup menu.. Single File, Collection or FServe, or use the Multiple Folders that allows you to create a trigger for each folder in a root folder in an automated fashion.

Note: Triggers created from a recognized CD-ROM or Zip/Jaz drive within your system will result in a prompt for the Volume ID.  Do NOT include CD or Zip/Jaz in your volume identities, the script will maintain that information for you.  Include only an identifying factor such as A1 or 001 (for example).

Once the type of trigger is determined, a dialog box will appear prompting you for information to complete the trigger. The prompts, in most cases, will include a default value. Below are descriptions of the process for the 3 different trigger types:

Single File Triggers
Creation of a 'single file' type trigger involves using the directory dialog to find the file to be triggered, naming the trigger (if you select sdc99_195.zip as the file, the default trigger name will be !sdc99_195), and then giving a description of the file (if you choose to make it appear in the triglist.txt file).  You can choose to create one single file trigger or many with the trigger selection dialog

Collection Trigger
Creating 'collection' type triggers is very similar, including selecting the folder that files will be sent from, entering a trigger name (i.e. !Scanmaster), choosing the corresponding .CSV file if applicable, and then a description.

One Folder
Choose the folder you wish to trigger, if "Removable media" is involved, you will also be prompted for the "Volume ID" of the disk

Multiple Folders
Automated process to create 'collection' type triggers. Process is the same as One Folder above, except you choose a root folder that contains the folders you want to trigger.  Allows quick creation of triggers, one after another. The script will search the folder chosen for collections that have not been triggered previously.  If the media being triggered is removable, AT® will prompt for a volume ID.  Selecting VOLUME TRIGGER causes a single trigger to be created for the volume, first choose the folders on the removable drive that you want to appear in your trigger list, then press VOLUME TRIGGER to store the folders and create the trigger.

FServe Trigger
Creation of an 'FServe' trigger consist of choosing the root folder you desire to make available to users, entering a trigger name, folder path, description and selection of a 'welcome.txt' file if you desire

Create Folder
Method to create a needed folder without having to open Explorer

Delete
Remove a trigger.  If options are chosen in the AT options area, it is also possible to be prompted to delete the actual file (single file triggers only) making it easy to maintain a zip collection of single files are daily distribution

View

ACDsee
AT makes easy access to your collections, selecting ACDsee will cause the collection contained within the trigger to be sent to ACDsee and synched so that any new files added are shown by the viewer. 

Folder Details
Displays all files currently residing in the folder represented by the trigger.

CSV Details
Displays the contents of the CSV file represented by the trigger.

Tools

Leech
If you have AutoLeech® 99 installed in mIRC, this selection allows you to easily start a new leech session for the folder and csv listed in the trigger details.

Clipboard
This selection copies the trigger ID to the clipboard to make it easier to display a trigger in the channel.

Offer Wiz
Works as described under Offer Window section.  With the following exceptions:

The Offer window need not be open.. and the choice of the 'target trigger' is made by highlighting the trigger line to be offered.

Note:  If a trigger is turned off and someone requests it.. they will be notified that the scan is not available at the moment.  All triggers have a limiting routine to determine how many files one individual may receive at any time.. You can modify that number from the Control Panel. Max DCC sends is a function of mIRC, you can control the total number of sends by clicking on DCC icon and choosing the 'Options' branch, entry of the maximum is near the bottom of the box.

Utilities

Update Triggers Lists
All Trigger Lists: Updates all 4 trigger lists
Active Triggers List: Updates only the Active Trigger List
Single/Collection Trigger Lists: Updates both the Single and Collection Trigger Lists
Removable Triggers List: Updates the Trigger List for your removable type triggers

Verify CSV Links/Counters
Fixed Disks: Searches all FIXED disk based CSV links to be certain the file exists.  Very useful when using a collection manager (like PicCheck or Hunter) that will remove all superseded csv files from the CSV folder.  When that purging is done.. run this utility within AT® and allow the system to help you replace the deleted CSVs with the most recent.  This utility also looks for descriptions where the counter information ( i.e.: Scanmaster [1000/1000] ) may need to be changed and prompts you to accept the new counter data.

Zip/Jaz: Same process as above, but prompts for the removable media Volume ID that you want to check, useful for zip and jaz drives with changing collections.

Verify FIXED Folder/File Links
Searches all FIXED disk based 'single file' and 'collection' triggers for a valid path to the file or folder being triggered.  If the link is nonexistent, then you are prompted to find a new path, delete the trigger in question or skip the trigger.

Rename Volume ID
Prompts for the ID of the volume to be renamed and the new ID, then updates the trigger database.

Delete Volume ID
Prompts for the ID of the volume to be deleted and then updates the trigger database.

Find Trigger Location
Allows entry of a trigger ID or a portion of it and searches the trigger database for a match and then highlights the match in the Trigger window.

Window Sort Type
Allows you to choose from several options for sorting the Trigger window.

Triggers            Trigger ID: !Scanmaster Default
Date                  trigger modified date
Reference         trigger line number

Non-Counted File Types/Folder Names

Non-Counted File Types
Input the extension of any file types that you DO NOT want AutoTRIG to count when calculating the number of files in a collection or folder. (ie: *.csv, *.txt, *.ion, *.db)

Non-Counted Folder Names
Input the names of any folders that contain files you  DO NOT want AutoTRIG to count when calculating the number of files in a collection or folder. (ie: backup, unknown, bad) 

Offers Options

Display of trigger color in offer
Choice of colors for your triggers can be selected from a dropdown box, including transparent which allows you to completely control the coloring in an offer

Audible Offers Notices
Check whether play a wav on your machine when an offer is displayed to the channel to make you aware that you are advertising again.  Choice of which wav to play when displaying an offer.  Setup default: test.wav

Offer deletion menu options

Delete "Single Trigger" w/Offer
Displays the option to delete both the offer and an associated trigger

Delete associated file
Displays the option to delete the offer, an associated trigger and the file attached to the trigger.

Removable Disk Support
Allows selection of drives in your system to be recognized by the script as CD-ROM and Zip/Jaz type drives.  The important of this option comes in AutoTRIG® knowing when a trigger is built from a CD-ROM drive that it must maintain a volume identity (ie: CD_01).  When drives are properly selected the system will automatically prompt for this volume id during the trigger creation process.  Triggers created from Zip/Jaz drives will also result in the volume id prompt.

Note: placing a CD in any recognized CD-ROM drive will result in the collection being found.  It is NOT required that the CD be placed in the same drive in which its trigger was built.  By placing the Volume ID in the Control Panel area for CD's and Zip/Jaz's.. updated trigger lists will accurately reflect the volumes you identify as being on-line.

CD-ROM Drives
Input ALL drives that triggers might be accessed from that represent CD-ROMs. (maximum 6 drives)

Zip/Jaz Drives
Input ALL drives that triggers might be accessed from that represent Zip/Jaz's.  (Maximum 2 drives)

Note: the input for these two options should be the drive letters involved ONLY!  For example if you have 3 CDROM drives, D: E: G:, then your input should be DEG

Restriction Classes

Preferred/General/Restricted/Banned User Setup
This area allows you to set separate wait times for Preferred as well as General users.  By having 2 classes of users you can define parameters for each.  Presumably those you select for Preferred status will have shorter wait times and fewer restrictions than the 'General' user category.  Preferred users must be defined, and is accomplished by right clicking on their nick and choosing Preferred from the AT® User List selection.  General refers to all other users.  The Restricted user area can be used for a reverse type situation (to single out users for fewer privileges).   You can also choose to 'Ban' a user from using your triggers.  Again right click on the nick and choose the Banned selection under AT® User List.  Anytime a user is refused access to your triggers because of restrictions or being Banned, the standard 'Triggers Off' message will be sent to that user individually!

Enable (Enforce) class
Turns on the restrictions you have chosen for the Preferred and/or Regular user categories when the box is checked while viewing a particular class.  Or enforces the Banned function.

Include OPs
The same as giving every @OP on any channel you are in Preferred status.  The only exception to the rule.. an @OP that you have Banned from your triggers.

Include Voices
The same as giving every +Voice on any channel you are in Preferred status.  The only exception to the rule.. a +Voice that you have Banned from your triggers.

Wait Seconds
Number seconds following the completion of a send that a user is placed on CTCP Ignore.  As DCC Trigger Clients become '~Ax~' compliant, this information will be transferred to the client to control its requests.

Time Limit
Sets a time limit that an individual leecher can leech from your AT® server before a required time out (a rest period in which all requests from that individual are ignored). The intent is to prevent a leecher from dominating your server.  Input allows for the time limit in minutes, the rest period in minutes.

Send Limit
Sets a sends limit that an individual leecher can leech from your AT® server before a required time out (a rest period in which all requests from that individual are ignored). The intent is to prevent a leecher from dominating your server.  The input allows for the number of sends, the rest period in minutes.

Max send CPS
Available only if using mIRC 5.71-5.82.  Enter a number results in the max speed of sends to that class matching the number you enter.  Note: entering a zero, results in no limit being imposed! mIRC 5.9 is limiting overall bandwidth usage as opposed to individual file transmissions.  For compatibility, the CPS option will remain in AT®.

Restriction Options

Ignore 'Guest Nick' Restriction
Restricts use of triggers by users with a GUESTxxxx nick. If the option is ON, and a user with a Guest Nick makes a request of your triggers, they will receive a polite message stating your policy.. sends will not occur!

Ignore 'Away/AFK' Restriction
Restricts use of triggers by someone that has "away" or "afk" in their nick. If the option is ON, and someone with either of these designations in their nick makes a request of your triggers, they will receive a polite message stating your policy.. Sends will not occur!

Common Channel Requests Only
Restricts the use of your triggers to users that are currently sharing a channel with you.  If you select the channel restriction option, any trigger requests from outside your channel(s) will be replied to with a polite message stating your policy.. Sends will not occur!

Annoyance Restriction Options
There are five annoying areas AT® can monitor, if any of the chosen areas result in an infraction 5 times within 10 minutes, then an optional rest period is imposed on the user committing the annoyances.  Annoying options include:

               1) Missing file requests
               2) Mount requests
               3) Invalid Trig requests
               4) Trigger Down requests
               5) Failed sends

Speed Check Options
SpeedCheck will watch the speeds of sends to leechers, when a send is below your predetermined threshold, the routine will terminate the send and notify the user of the slow speed problem!

Choose SpeedCheck status
Enable/Disable the SpeedChecking process

Change Threshold Level
determines the speed (in cps) the routine will terminate a send.  Choices: 1 - 9999

Change Checks/Send
determines the number of checks to be made on a send before determining the speed is too slow.  Choices: 1 through 10

Change Checks Separation
determines time period (in seconds) between each of the above checks. Choices: 15 - 60 seconds

Scanfinder®/Protected Triggers

ScanFInder® link
Allows you to create a link between AT® 99 and ScanFinder®, please note SF® version must be 2.2 or greater for link to function.  The link allows another user to request a ScanFinder® trigger list from your collection.  The user would send a normal trigger request in the following format /ctcp yournick !atsf <model name>. AT® 99 then passes the request to ScanFinder® which creates a list of scans you have that match the <model name> info in the trigger sent. The list created by SF® is then sent to the person requesting, via dcc send.  The list is created in a format that allows the user to then request the scans from your triggers in AT® 99.

The button in the ScanFinder® option area allows you to tell AT® 99 where SF® is located.

Protected triggers
Allows protection of up to 40 triggers from AT® intervention. Allowing other scripts to have access to any of the protected triggers. Useful when using other scripts such as @CSVSearch.

Trigger Options

Collection CSV Support
Allows you to locate the csv that is associated with a collection type trigger.  Using this method.. one trigger line (reference) handles BOTH the collection and the csv!  The user can use a collection trigger ID PLUS .CSV to obtain the associated CSV file.

Search SUB-folders
Allows AT® to search any sub-folders that exist under a chosen folder for triggers.

Search D/L for missing
Designed for those offering collection triggers to receive the current file from a scanner, and be able to offer as part of the collection before it is moved to the collection folder.

Note: This option presents something of a security risk.  IF you were to receive in your 'download' folder a private file, and someone was making a collection request.. And knew the filename!  The private file could be caused to sent to the requesting user.  THIS IS ONLY TRUE OF FILES IN YOUR mIRC DOWNLOAD FOLDER.  If wary of such action, then leave this option unchecked!!

Trigger AND File deletion
Option to allow the removal of both a trigger and its associated file when deleting.  The option was added several versions ago to allow those who trigger many single file triggers an easy way to remove both he trigger and file (assuming a duplicate file was used for the trigger).  By default this option is OFF!

Note: if choosing to delete files along with triggers, the file will actually be moved to a folder under mIRC named Recycle.  Any deleted files can be recovered from that folder by using Explorer or another file manager.

ReSend Failed Sends
Option to re-send any incomplete transfers automatically.

View Hits

Status Window
Allows to see all hits and the results of the hit in your status window.

AT®Hits
See the same information as the status window option.. but removes the information from status window and places in separate custom window for those with already busy status windows.

Single Description Default
When creating a single file type trigger, this selection will cause one of three possible default items to be inserted into the edit box. 1) The filename of the file being triggered  2) The filename PLUS the size of the file in kilobytes  3) the size of the file being triggered in kilobytes.  Or you can choose no default!

Collection Description Default
When creating a collection type trigger, this selection will cause one of five possible default items to be inserted into the edit box.  1) The name of folder being triggered  2) the CD Volume AND folder name  3) the folder name AND the number of non-csv and non-txt files in the folder  4) the CD Volume AND folder name AND the number of non-csv and non-txt files in the folder   5) the name of the CSV file associated with the triggered folder.  Or you can choose no default!

Connection Type/Speed
Choose the type of internet connection you are using.  Helps other users know what speeds you are capable of producing.

Active Nick Color
Highlights nicks (in the nick list) that are currently receiving transfers from your server in a color of your choice.

Known Issues and problems

all mIRC versions

The first time the trigger window is opened on a fresh starting of mIRC, a blank window may appear.  Closing the window and requesting the window again will give the correct results.  Gold stars to anyone that can figure it out!

Status window error message: '$dll identifier invalid' means prior to installation, the DLL box under mIRC options | general | lock was not UNCHECKED.  That must be done.

mIRC 5.71 version

The version required several changes in AT to satisfy some procedural issues, no known "BUGS" as yet

mIRC 5.7 version

No known AT issues, many previous problems resolved

mIRC 5.61 version

There is a bug in mIRC 5.61 that may be related to only my setup.  When clicking on channel icons in the mIRC taskbar, when the name of the channel is longer than the icon can hold.. I get a page fault error and mIRC dies.  The author of mIRC has not been able to duplicate my problem, thus no fix is available.  I believe the problem is related to a new routine in mIRC that displays the long channel names in a tool tip like box.

mIRC 5.6 version

The most common complaint concerning AT with 5.6 is that dcc resumes many times do not restart or take forever to restart.  Be aware this is not a function of AT.. It is a known bug in mIRC 5.6. (Resolved in mIRC 5.61)
