a script for mIRC
this version: 2.2
===============================DOCUMENTATION==============================
Thanks for downloading ]-[ydrobomb.
Here's a list of what you should have found when you unzipped the
HYDRO22.ZIP file, and the descriptions of each file:
HYDRO.INI - user level information, Recognize database
HYDROHLP.TXT - this file
HYDROSAY.TXT - list of sayings associated with the /HYDRO command
HYDROVER.TXT - similar to mIRC's VERSIONS.TXT, shows what changes have
been made since the last version
PAGE.WAV - used with pager, sound of a phone ringing
HYDALI.INI - Aliases file
HYDCTCP.INI - CTCP commands script
HYDEVENT.INI - Event handler script
HYDRAW.INI - Raw event handler script
HYDVARS.INI - Variables file
HYDPOP.INI - Popups file
HYDMIRC.INI - Main initialization file
EINPGP.ASC - Einstein's ASCII armored PGP public key (version 2.6.2)
You must provide the file SERVERS.INI. This file is a list of IRC servers
with descriptions. I purposely left it out of my distribution of ]-[ydrobomb,
since each user probably has his/her own personalized file.
To include SERVERS.INI, copy your existing SERVERS.INI file into the
directory into which you unzipped HYDRO22.ZIP.
If you didn't get all of these files, your copy of ]-[ydrobomb may not
work correctly. Try downloading from another site or go to
http://cust2.iamerica.net/sdl/hydro/ for a guaranteed complete copy.
--------------------------------SETUP-------------------------------------
You can create a shortcut file that will allow you to run ]-[ydrobomb
when you want it. To do this:
1. Unzip HYDRO22.ZIP into your main mIRC directory.
(for Win95 users)
2. Right click on the Start button, click on Open. Go to the Start menu
group where you want the shortcut for ]-[ydrobomb to be.
3. Click File...New...Shortcut. Win95's Shortcut Wizard will appear.
4. In the blank marked "Command Line," type
"c:\mirc\mirc32.exe -i hydmirc.ini".
Replace c:\mirc\ with your mIRC directory if necessary. If for some reason
you're running 16-bit mIRC, replace mirc32.exe with mirc.exe.
5. Click Next >.
6. As a name for the shortcut, type "]-[ydrobomb" or some other text that
reminds you that this shortcut runs ]-[ydrobomb.
7. Click Finish. You can now run ]-[ydrobomb-enabled mIRC from the place
in the Start menu where you created the shortcut.
(For Win 3.1x users)
2. In Program Manager, go to the Program Group where you want the
]-[ydrobomb icon to appear. Click File...New. Select "Program Item"
and click OK.
3. In the "Command Line" blank, type "c:\mirc\mirc.exe -i mirchyd.ini".
If your mIRC directory is different, change it to reflect this.
If you're running 32-bit mIRC, change mirc.exe to mirc32.exe.
Type as a name, "]-[ydrobomb" or some other text string which reflects
that this icon runs a ]-[ydrobomb-enabled mirc.
4. Click OK. The icon created will allow you to launch mIRC with ]-[ydrobomb
running.
Either way, you can use the icon you created to run ]-[ydrobomb-assisted
mIRC at any time. Your usual mIRC icon will NOT launch ]-[ydrobomb
if you followed these procedures exactly. It is possible to edit this icon
so that it does. To make your usual mIRC icon run ]-[ydrobomb, add
-i hydmirc.ini
to the command string. If there already is a -i and an argument, replace it
with -i hydmirc.ini.
That's it! ]-[ydrobomb has been installed into your mIRC. Note that the
Command menu has changed into the ]-[ydrobomb menu.

===============================OPERATION===================================
This section tries to explain how to use each feature of ]-[ydrobomb.
I have tried to go in a logical order to help users find what they need.
---------------------------]-[ydrobomb menu--------------------------------
About
Displays a screen-long piece of information about the program.
Documentation
Launches this file.
Channel Flood Protect
This attempts to protect against users who "flood" or "scroll"
channels by rapidly dumping messages into them. When ]-[ydrobomb
detects that a user has sent too many messages in too little time,
and you have ops in the channel in question, the flooding user
will be automatically /kick'ed.
Default: OFF
CTCP Protect (Same IP)
CTCP Protect adds an extra layer of protection to mIRC's admirable
built-in flood protect. When it detects a CTCP from a user, it
ignores everyone using that person's IP address for a time you
specify (the "ignore factor").
Default: ON
CTCP Protect (All IP's)
This feature is a blanket flood protect which works well against
floods coming from multiple IP adresses. It works in a similar
fashion to the above feature.
Default: ON
Warn on Channel CTCP
This simple script enables you to see when a user has sent a CTCP
query to the entire channel. It will /echo the warning into the
active window.
Default: ON
CTCP wall
This script, now fixed for ]-[ydrobomb 2.2, locks out all
CTCP queries.
Default: OFF
DCC CHAT flood protect
This script protects you from users who open a DCC CHAT to you,
then dump lots of characters into the chat in an attempt to lock
up your mIRC. If 100 lines are detected in 60 seconds or less,
the chat is closed.
Default: ON
Automatic pinging on "Ping Me"
When a user says "Ping me," ]-[ydro will send a CTCP PING query
to that user. This is default to off because a malicious user
can repeatedly say "Ping me" and get you to send too many pings,
flooding you off. However, if you feel that this feature would
be convenient for you, activate it.
Default: OFF
Automatic Ping Time Notice
This rather complex script analyzes a user's CTCP PING reply
and reports the result to them via /notice. It also echoes
the result into the active window so you can see it more
easily. This script converts ping times from the seconds format
to minutes and seconds if the ping time is more than 60 seconds.
Default: ON
Show /WHOIS data in active window
]-[ydrobomb reads /WHOIS data from the server using RAW and displays
it in a pleasing table-like format. If this feature is active,
the data will be displayed in the active window.
Default: ON
Show DNS data in active window
mIRC's /DNS command allows a user to lookup the IP address from
a nick's user@host. With this feature active, DNS data will be
shown in the active window.
Default: ON
Self Ban Protection
When this feature is on, ]-[ydrobomb analyzes bans (mode +b)
to see if the mask matches yours. If so, the banner is deopped
immediately and you automatically unban yourself.
This helps at times, but sometimes a user will kick you first,
then ban, or ban and then kick so quickly that the script has
no time to react.
This _MAY_ deop your friends who place a ban accidentally or
otherwise.
Default: ON
WAV/MID support
mIRC provides a powerful sound file playing/trading medium.
There is something of an unofficial standard that details what
a user should do in order to play/send/get sound files.
I designed ]-[ydrobomb to adhere to that standard.
Directory
Allows you to set the name of the directory where
your WAV/MID files are kept. Please note that you have to
set this in two places, under the ]-[ydrobomb menu and
under File...Options...Sounds. It should be possible
for a script to access the wav directory name, but it's
not.
Default: none
AutoLoad when played
This script attempts to download EVERY wave file that is
played in a channel. I defaulted this to off since, in
addition to being a major security risk, this can fill
up your hard drive with sound files you may not want.
Please do not use this feature while you're away from
the computer.
Default: OFF
AutoSend on !nick
The unofficial sound playing standards provides for a means
for users to download wavefiles from each other
automatically. With this on, you will send a file from
your waves directory when someone types
!yournick filename.wav
This does allow users to have a small amount of access to
your system, but I have left it once since most waveplaying
channels consider it very rude not to have this feature.
Default: ON
Age/Sex
This, one of the oldest mIRC scripts in recorded history, listens
for common queries about age and/or sex and automatically responds
to them. You have to set information when you turn this on
so ]-[ydro will know what to say.
I defaulted this to off since many users want to protect their
privacy on this issue. Many channel operators consider age/sex
queries to be offensive/annoying and you could get kicked.
Default: OFF
Away...Automatic Away
If you'd like ]-[ydrobomb to automatically set you away after 10
minutes of idleness, set this feature to on.
Default: ON
Away...Pager
This works with ]-[ydrobomb's away feature (see below) and allows
users to get your attention while you're away. It announces that
a user is paging you and plays PAGE.WAV, a file that came with
]-[ydrobomb. If you want to, you can create your own custom file
to be played when you're paged. Simply delete or rename PAGE.WAV
and create a new one.
Default: ON
Away...Auto Announce Return
This will send an announcement of your return to all channels
that you're on whenever you un-away.
Default: OFF
Detectors
IP Mismatch
mIRC sometimes "misplaces" your IP address. When your IP is
incorrect in mIRC's registers, none of the DCC functions
work correctly. IP Mismatch checks your actual IP against
the one mIRC believes you have. If they don't match, you
can have it display a warning. You can also set it to
display a notice if it has checked out the IPs and they
are the same.
Defaults:
Warn on mismatch: ON
Notify on match: OFF
Netsplit
This script listens to server notices for signs of a
netsplit. When one is detected, it flashes a message to you
informing you of the split (or rejoin). Note that in all
messages, the first server is the one that is or was on
"your" side of the net. The second is the one that is
split off.
Default: ON
Perv Detect
This is possibly the most complex feature in ]-[ydrobomb. When a
user joins a channel, ]-[ydrobomb does a /whois in the background
on that person. When the results come in, they are analyzed to
see if they meet certain criteria. If they do, a warning is
displayed.
When the warning shows up, you can press F5 to notice all the ops
on a channel. If you have ops yourself, you can press F6 to kick,
F7 to temporarily ban, and F8 to ban indefinitely. You have 15
seconds from the time the warning displays to make up your mind;
after that time the buffer is reset. You can still kick/ban the
user manually.
A disclaimer: this is NOT an indication that I support Internet
censorship. I provided this feature as a means for users of clean
channels to keep out objectionable users. If you feel that Perv
Detect infringes on users' rights, TURN IT OFF, don't email me
with your complaint.
Default: ON
Show channels
This sub-script of Perv Detect shows the channels that a user
is in wether they meet the criteria or not.
Default: ON
Perv Detect must be ON for this to work.
On Join Recognize
]-[ydrobomb's Recognize feature keeps a list of users@host matched
with nicks. It's handy to keep track of your friends that like to
switch nicks a lot, and also to see when someone is impersonating
someone by taking their nick.
This feature, when on, causes every user's address to be checked
against the database. If they're in the database, ]-[ydrobomb
indicates either their normal nick or that they are using their
usual nick.
To manage the database, see the Nicks List menu.
Default: ON
On Join Clone Detect
]-[ydrobomb can check a user's address against that of other people
already in the channel to see if they are a "clone," or someone
that has launched a second IRC client on the same computer and
is in control of both. If a clone is detected, ]-[ydro displays
a warning.
This can tend to take up large amounts of processor time when
you're in a large channel with a lot of joins. To combat this,
I've deactivated this in channels with more than 70 users.
Default: ON
Speech
If you have monolog or Text Assist, this feature can be activated.
When on, ]-[ydro will vocally inform you of Perv Detect and On Join
Clone warnings and when you're paged. It also says "]-[ydrobomb 2.0
initialized" on startup.
Default: OFF
-----------------------------Nick List Popup-------------------------------
Control...TempBan
This feature allows you to kick and ban a user, but automatically
unban them after a specified amount of time. This is useful to
prevent people who have set the "auto rejoin on kick" option to on.
If you ban someone and leave before they are automatically unbanned,
they will be banned indefinitely. Keep this in mind.
Control...TopPro
Used to manage the Topic Protection settings for this channel.
You can protect the current topic, change the topic and protect
the new one, or remove protection altogether.
Control...Filterkicks
Controls filter kicks. "Kick all clones" kicks the selected user
and, if applicable, any clones that are in the same channel.
"Kick all with same ISP" kicks everyone in the channel that has
the same second-level domain. Useful for removing an influx of
AOLamers :)
CTCP...Room Ping
This pings every user in the room. You can also do this by pressing
F2.
CTCP...Stealth Ping
This pings every user in the room as well, but in a way so that
room CTCP detectors are not tripped.
CTCP...Fake CTCP Reply
Sends a CTCP reply without being prompted. mIRC version 4.7 and
over ignores CTCP PING replies that are not numerical.
CTCP...Other
Allows you to input another CTCP command.
Clone Detect
Checks the room for clones. This feature is not available in rooms
larger than 70 users.
Channel Stats
Does a /who on the channel, then displays statistics about that
channel.
Recognize...On
Turns the Recognize feature ON for this nick. If they do not change
their ISP or userid, they will be in the Recognize database as
this nick.
This can also be used to change the recognized nick of someone
that is already in the database.
Recognize...Check
Scans the Recognize database for a user matching this nick's
address.
Messaging...Behind the Back
One of the first original scripts I ever made, this feature sends
a /notice to all users in the channel EXCEPT THIS NICK.
This is also accessible from the /behind command, syntax:
/behind [nick] [message text]
Note to ]-[ydrobomb beta users: this was a very buggy command,
often sending messages to the behinded nick. I have completely
fixed the command with this release and you can use it with
confidence. I hope. :)
Messaging...to all Ops
Also accessible from the /opnot command, this sends a /notice
to every op on the channel, wether you have ops or not.
Messaging...to all Non-Ops
This is the exact reverse of the /opnot command. It sends a
/notice to all users who DO NOT have ops on the channel.
You can use this command from the command line by typing:
/noop [message]
Messaging...selected nicks
This sends a notice to every user whose nick is highlighted.
Messaging...backwards
.esrever ni lennahc eht ot egassem a sdnes sihT
(This sends a message to the channel in reverse.)
Waves/MIDIs...get WAV file
Uses the standard WAV playing standard of !nick filename.wav
to ask for a wavefile. Also un-ignores the person. This is
important because if CTCP protect is on and the user played the
file in the past 30 seconds, ]-[ydrobomb will ignore their DCC
SEND command.
Waves/MIDIs...play to Channel
Allows you to select a wavefile or MIDI file to play to the channel.
Important note: if you're going to use this feature, you should
have Autosend on !nick on so users can receive your wavefile if they
don't already have it.
Waves/MIDIs...play to Self
Pulls up the same dialog box, but you will be the only one to hear
the file.
Waves/MIDIs...play to Person
Same dialog box. This time, the only person to hear the wave
is the selected nick (assuming they have the wav).
Waves/MIDIs...Delete wavefile
Allows you to /remove one of your wavefiles.
----------------------------Query/DCC Chat popups---------------------------
Direct Ping
For Win95 users only - accesses the ping.exe program and sends
an ICMP ping directly to the user's address. A separate window
will pop up and allow you to see the ping times, which should
be in the range of about 300-600 milliseconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The ICMP pings sent by this ping are NOT massive
enough to be used for flooding. This feature can't be used
to flood users off. If you want a flood script, find it somewhere
else.
Trace Route
Again for Win95 users, this accesses another Win95 utility
which shows the path by which TCP/IP packets travel from you
to the selected nick.
All options in CTCP, DCC, Recognize, and Waves/MIDIs are the same as in the
Nick List popup, except for obvious reasons there is no "play to channel"
option under Waves/MIDIs.
----------------------------Status Window popup-----------------------------
The only thing you'll find different here is the Faked Quits menu at the
bottom, which allows you to simulate several different types of accidental
disconnects. The last one, SERVER OP, simulates your falling for an old
newbie trick: telling a user to type /raw server op and see what happens.
If you type this, you're disconnected with the message "Need more
parameters."
--------------------------------Aliases-------------------------------------
/autoexec Automatic alias which sets some vital timers, variables,
etc. You should have this alias in your Perform section.
/idlecheck Automatic alias, checks your idle time to determine
wether you should be set away.
/top Sets the topic in the current channel. If you use this
with no parameters, the topic is set to blank.
/opnot Sends a notice to all ops on the channel.
/noop Sends a notice to all non-ops on the channel.
/behind Use: /behind [nick] [message]
Sends a notice to all users on the channel except the
indicated nick.
/fakectcp Sends a false CTCP reply to a user.
/pcheck Automatic alias, part of Perv Detect. Do not activate
this alias manually.
/about Displays a screen-long information list about ]-[ydrobomb.
/recadd Same as Recognize...On, adds a user to the recognize list.
/rectake Removes a user from the recognize list.
/recognize Checks a user's address against the recognize list.
/goaway Sets you away with a message you specify. If used with no
parameters, sets you un-away and announces it to all
your channels.
/banlist Checks the banlist for the current channel. You can specify
a channel, but many IRC networks do not allow users outside
the channel to see ban lists. A major exception is DALnet.
/clone Scans for clones in the current channel.
/clonedet With this, you may specify a channel and that channel will
be scanned for clones. You must be in the specified channel
to use this alias.
/onjoinclone Automatic alias, scans for clones when a user joins the
channel.
/hydro Announces to the current channel that you are using
]-[ydrobomb. Use this often :)
/dping Uses a Win95 utility to directly ping a user.
/tracert Uses another Win95 utility to trace the route to a user.
/srvping Sends a direct ICMP ping to your server. The same general
result can be accomplished by typing /raw ping [yournick].
/sload ]-[ydrobomb's addon support alias. This alias follows the
addon standards proposed by [x|x] and webba.
/portscan Scans a server's TCP ports to find the one with the least
traffic. Thanks to LoKi128 for the concept on this one.
/rev Speaks what you specify backwards.
/accping Sends an Accurate Ping to a user. Accurate Pings use a
different method to process and give a ping reply to
the millisecond. This alias is called by all ping methods
except /ctcp nick PING, which sends a normal ping.
/accpingread Used to interpret the results of an Accurate Ping.
Automatic.
/titlebarupdate Automatic alias, updates the titlebar with the latest
information. The Titlebar feature is new to ]-[ydro 2.0.
It shows your current server lag (to the millisecond),
your idle time, and the time.
A note about the titlebar: If you quit mIRC while still
connected to the server, when you start it back again
the titlebar will read what it was reading when you quit.
$stdtime Returns the current time in AM/PM format. Used by the
(custom titlebar and some other features.
identifier)
/inititbar Automatic alias, initializes the titlebar update routine.
/onlinecheck Automatic alias, checks to see if you've been disconnected.
If so, updates the titlebar to show that.
/chanstat Usage: /chanstat [channel] Channel Statistics for a
particular channel. Returns total number of channel users,
number of ops, non-ops, number of away, and percentage
breakdowns for each. Also returns the "Average number of
hops," a number that indicates the average server-to-server
hop distance from you. A user on your server is 0 hops away,
someone on a server connected to your server is 1 hop away,
someone on a server connected to that server is 2 hops away,
etc. etc. etc.
/stat Returns channel statistics for the current channel.
/fkick Usage: /fkick [nick] [mask number]
Kicks all users whose addresses match the mask you specify.
Useful mask numbers:
2 - kicks all clones
4 - kicks all with same ISP
$percent Custom identifier. Usage: $percent(x,y)
Returns what percent of y x is.
For instance, $percent(50,100) returns 50.
/rwhois Performs a Remote Whois on the specified nick.
Remote whois works in a 2 step process:
1. Perform a local /whois to find their server
2. Perform a /whois on the remote server.
$ticsec Custom identifier. Divides the specified number by 1000
and returns a decimal result. Useful for converting
processor ticks to seconds.
/toppro Topic Protect alias.
Usage:
/toppro (no parameters) - protects current topic
/toppro [topic] - changes topic, protects new topic
/toppro off - turns Topic Protect off for current channel.

My feelings on script ripping:
The odd thing about script ripping is that it is both the most eloquent
compliment a scripter can receive. It shows that the ripper, although
misguided, truly respects the scripting work he or she is copying.
That's why I permit it, IF you ask. I will give, and have given, permission
to use parts of my script in other people's projects. Just send me an
e-mail or find me on the Undernet and ask me. Tell me what part of the
script you wish to copy, what it will be used for, and what alterations
you'll make to it, if any. I'll be happy to let you use it.
