These comments are served as harmless opinions toward learning. I suppose we all learn things differently, so there's no definite approach to how and what you should adapt to the "pre-made" method being introduced.

or " her " own... don't forget the female scripters and mIRC users that also enjoy this servers warehouse of snippets.

Seems that it would limit a scripts abilities to learn different ways of coding out the same results, making them dependent on the script to do the work for them.

i agree with jethro's statement that it is better to actually learn to do it by hand.

i can't understand how you can say that beginners are skipping steps in learning by using this snippet. did you try it out? the user still needs to understand the concept of events, matchtext, and acting on these events, which are the biggest hurdles for someone who is entirely new to coding for IRC. if they don't understand these things, they would need help using this snippet just as they would need help writing out the basic mIRC script that this snippet automates the creation of.

also, if you are against this snippet on the grounds that it negatively impacts a beginner's progress, you must also be opposed to the idea of providing examples to beginners as well as fulfilling script requests for learners since, after all, that is the wrong way for them to learn. and what of this website and its collection of freely available snippets searchable by keywords? typing "join greeting", hitting 'Search' and using the resulting codes will very likely destroy any chance that poor sap has of learning to create such a script on his own.

@napa182. Thanks. I started out by making a 'sandbox' where users could learn mSL and test scripts in either 1 or 2 dialog windows. Would've been too much of a hasle so I just decided to do this instead. I'm most likely going to add more options soon

@spoof, they don't need to know what this code does. They simply run the dialog and they're set from there. lol

As jaytea said: there's absolutely nothing wrong with this idea.
"Idea" being the key word. It is a nice idea that has been done a lot of times by different people. Being a little event/alias maker like this one too socket makers. There is nothing wrong in the idea of making/using them just as long as people don't rely on them.

nice work alabama, could be cleaned up some an such. but nice work..
keep up the coding

Seems that it would limit a scripts abilities to learn different ways of coding out the same results, making them dependent on the script to do the work for them. Maybe if you add statements into each action that they preform so they fully understand what exactly they are doing and the full capacity of this script and its limitations.
example:
on :ban:#:{
;open a new window on mirc. we will call it @bans
window @bans
;now to write the information in that window for easy later viewing using echo
echo -t @bans [ban logger] $nick set the following ban $1- against user $bnick on $time $date in $chan
;close the brackets at the end
}
;same here but this is the kick event
on :kick:#:{
window @kicks
echo -t @kicks [kick tracker] $nick kicked $knick from $chan on $date at $time
}

by using ; in the script you can explain what is happening to the beginner or you could even write it out with echo's to the person using the script as to what is happening on each selected action.

By the way... this is in no way a put down or slam on your script but merely feedback to explain that most people trying to learn mIRC coding fail at first. Even this script could confuse them if it doesn't explain what they are doing.
I feel that your intentions are good, but please try to make an effort to explain to beginners what they are doing.

Looking forward to seeing more of your scripts and others on the link. Happy scripting everyone, that's all that really matters.

not only that jethro but what if someone uses this to make something and it completely errors out. if they do not do it by hand and familiarise themselves with coding by hand they will not be able to figure what is wrong. i agree with jethro's statement that it is better to actually learn to do it by hand.

I have tried to learn mSL on my own - it is not working out so well. This tool is a good start for me, and I think it's awesome.

jaytea, everything these days gets so convenient. We don't need to carry paper cash rather than plastic money with us, and we don't need to be there to purchase something when we can get it all done online. But at the end of the day, the old-fashioned way of learning is never too shabby to help our familiarization in a subject when we actually write it down manually.

P.S. Our intelligence aren't created equally. Some people may be keen on or good at reading just by eyeballing it, but some take more practice and effort to master the learning curve of a programming language. I hope you get my drift.

in industry, the process of going from a well defined design to actual code is largely automated, and is becoming increasingly so. there's absolutely nothing wrong with this idea.

I think its a good idea, and maybe even usefull to some beginning scripters, however, like Jethro said, it is very limitted!

Also, the set a var is incorrect. You can only increase a var by 1 nothing else. (Which would make it 'increase a var by 1', not 'set a var')

It's for beginners to understand basic mSL :)

First off, I'm not trying to bust your chops, but the best way to learn of MSL is using mIRC's remote editor or alias editor, and write the events, alias, identifiers and commands flat out manually. Second, this will get you to familiarize with them every time you jot them down; it's more beneficial. Lastly, people have made socket creators and script makers like this snippet before, and they tend to result in errors and what they can do have their own limitations.
