IDEmIRC 1.1

Editplus Addons

1. First of all you need to go to www.editplus.com and download & install their product, which these small addons are designed to work with. If you don't like the .stx file distributed here, there is also another one linked to on the editplus site.
2. Next, add all of the files in the Editplus subdirectory (from this file) to the directory where editplus is installed (usually c:\Program Files\Editplus\)
3. Go into the "Tools" menu and choose "Preferences". Select the Files > Settings and Syntax section.
   Follow the red text in the image above. You'll need to find the mIRC.stx file, which is no problem as you put it in your editplus directory in the last step, didn't you.
4. Load your mIRC.stx, then fill out the neccessary information as follows:

   Description:	mIRC Remotes File
   Extension:	mrc
   Function Pattern:	^alias [\w\W]

   
   Tab/Ident

   Tab	2
   Indent	2
   Insert spaces instead of tabs	True
   TAB key moves cursor by indent	True
   Enable AutoIdent	True
   AutoIdent Open	{
   AutoIdent Close	}

5. Next, find the templates section.
   Fill out the values, use your imagination if you want to. Click the little button to find a file and load your template.mrc file. Every time you start a new remotes file, this is used as the template, so customise it to your liking.

DDECommander
DDECommander can be used as a standalone application, but here's how to add it effectively to Editplus as a hotkey tool. This enables you to reload silently the file you are editing.
1. Put DDECommander somewhere handy - either mIRC's dir or the editplus directory.
2. In Editplus, find the Tools menu, and Configure User Tool Groups.
   Fill out the info more or less how it is in the screenshot.

   Group Name	mIRC Tools
   Tool Name	DDECommander
   Arguments	/reload -rs $(FilePath)

mIRCDD
mIRCDD is a documentation tool for mIRC script files - its very handy, you'll see.
1. This is the easiest one so far. Simply open mIRCDD.mrc up in Editplus and test your DDECommander (Control F1 should be it) tool out, it will make mIRC silently load it. If you don't want to, use a good old /load -rs mIRCDD.mrc.
2. This is simply creating a new instance of the DDECommander - go back into configure user tool groups. Follow the steps from the previous segment. Use the following data.

   Group Name	mIRC Tools
   Tool Name	mIRCDD
   Arguments	/mircdd $(FilePath)
