Installation Section 3. mIRC Setup Section 3.1 WaVeOuT Setup Section 4. General Information NOTE: This version of WaVeOuT will work with mIRC 3.92 and mIRC 4.0 it will not work with any version before 3.92. OTHERNOTE: If you do not know about wav play within mIRC 3.92/4.0 READ THE FILE SOUND.TXT, also included in the zip file. ------------------Section 1 - Introduction-------------------------------- Hi and welcome to WaVeOuT. This program is designed to be used with mIRC version 3.92 and up on IBM compatible computers. mIRC is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client written by Khaled Mardam-Bey. Both programs require Windows 3.X or Windows 95 WaVeOuT is a program which allows point-and-click wav play with mIRC. Its ease of use does away with remembering wav file names and complicated mIRC commands. Just use the mouse, point at a wav file and WaVeOuT sends the commands to mIRC via the DDE connect option (see Section 3 for more info) ------------------Section 2 - Installation-------------------------------- If you are reading this, it is assumed you have already opened the zip file. The copy of WaVeOuT should be in a directory of it's own. Inside the directory where the zip was opened is a file called BWCC.DLL, this file should be left in the same directory as WaVeOuT or can be placed in the Windows sub-directory as WaVeOuT will look there for it by default. See Known Bugs at the bottom of this file for more information on BWCC.DLL ------------------Section 3 - mIRC Setup---------------------------------- Before you run WaVeOuT, run mIRC first. In the status window, type the command /DDESERVER ON for more information on this command, see the mIRC help documentation file. The Following isn't necessary to run WaVeOuT, but will make it easier to use. Place the following command in the ALIASES section: go to TOOLS, ALIASES /D /DDESERVER ON MIRC | /RUN C:\DIRECTORYNAME\WAVE22.EXE Now all you have to do in mIRC is type /D and the DDESERVER will be turned on and WaVeOuT 2.2 will automatically be run for you. NOTE: If you run a "bot" make sure the above command is NOT in the copy of mIRC running the bot and make sure the DDE server is off. Type /DDESERVER OFF This will turn off the server. OTHERNOTE: If you do not know about wav play within mIRC 3.92/4.0 READ THE FILE SOUND.TXT, also included in the zip file. ------------------Section 3.1 - WaVeOuT Setup------------------------------ Run WaVeOuT. Choose setup. Under directory, enter the default directory location for your wav files. Remember to put a backslash at the end of the directory name such as: C:\WAVS\ Under Random Play, choose a time interval for timed random play. Placing a value of 30, would play a wav file randomly every 30 seconds. The timer cannot be set below 5 seconds, this is to prevent flooding. Choose a default comment to be displayed with wavs as they are played like: brings you another wav or grabs one from the magic box or anything comment you like. When finished, choose OK. Now, in the main screen, you should see a directory listing of all your wavs. Below that is the currently selected wav file, below that is your wav directory, with all current wavs listed. To the right, at the top is a box listing possible comments, and below that is the options menu. IMPORTANT OPTION: You should see a button called: mIRC 4.0 Comp. If you use mIRC 4.0, press this button. Do NOT select this if you use mIRC 3.92, or WaVeOuT will not work in dcc chat/query windows! About The Options: DDE Connect: This must be selected for WaVeOuT to "talk" to mIRC. Always on top: Selecting this forces WaVeOuT to stay on top of all open windows. Rapid Fire: This is a powerful feature. When selected, to play a wav simply left click on the wav name once, and it is played. Random Play: Selecting this will play a random wav at the specified time interval specified in setup. Also, when WaVeOuT is random playing, you can pause the random play by putting a check in the small box in the left hand corner of the WaVeOuT window. Include Size: Includes the file size at the end of the selected comment. Refresh Directory: Press this if wavs have been added to the directory since WaVeOuT has been running Associate: A powerful command. Associates whatever comment is put in the comment window and will always display that comment every time the wav is played. A different comment can be associated with every wav. Window: This reduces the "foot print" of WaVeOuT. It only displays the current wav directory. This window can be resized to any size to fit your needs. NOTE: when the window is small, right clicking on the gray border will refresh the directory listing. About: Information about WaVeOuT Quit WaVeOuT: Exits WaVeOuT Delete: Highlight a filename and press this button twice and it will ask you if you want to delete that wav. At the bottom left hand size of the screen is a number. This is the total number of wavs in the current directory. To the left of that is the status window, telling you the status of selected options. A new feature added to WaVeOuT is when WaVeOuT is "windowed" and it is selected as the "main" window (the title bar is highlighted), pressing a key on the keyboard causes WaVeOuT to either go to or play the first file in the directory beginning with that letter. Please remember to use your mouse to select mIRC as the primary window before typing, or you could end up flooding a channel with a lot of wavs! ------------------Section 4 - General Information---------------------------- Warranty, Trademarks, and Copyrights WaVeOuT ("the package") includes the following software and documentation: WAVEOUT.EXE WaVeOuT application file BWCC.DLL Borland's Windows control library SOUND.TXT mIRC Help file for setting up Auto DCC send WAVE22.TXT The file you are reading right now.
