Introduction

mIRC scripts are scripts that run on the mIRC chat client. mIRC scripts are often criticised for being too different to other scripting languages and this is true as although the language utilises similar brackets and structures to other scripting languages, it is based on events and identifiers which are alien in other languages. However, mIRC scripts have a great advantage over other scripting languages in that it is connected to the IRC network and also that it supports various features such as dlls and sockets. The simplicity is also a large factor for it being used on many multiplayer games.

By having dll support, dlls (Dynamic Link Libraries) can be designed to perform complex tasks such as connecting and sending data to game servers. Both the new and original VC:MP servers utilise this feature to connect your mIRC client with your server and thus allowing you to create game scripts.
