About Hipscript

HipScript is a package of utility scripts for Ircle 3.0. It provides quiet automation of mundane IRC tasks for users and channel ops. It does not provide any war commands, channel takeovers, or features a channel op might find obnoxious.

HipScript is a plugin-based scripting package which allows users to choose which features they need, and also allows them to code their own plugins (or obtain them from other sources). HipScript is delivered with over a dozen standard plugins; there is no limit to how many plugins may be loaded at once, other than memory and processor power available to run them all.

HipScript is fully connection-aware; all features work properly no matter how many connections you have open at once.

Some of the major features of the standard plugins include

  • User-defined aliases (define your own commands)
  • Define your own User Window buttons, or override Ircle's.
  • Schedule delayed execution of commands
  • Auto-send sound files to users who request them
  • A flexible auto-greeter.
  • Automated ping-request response and reporting
  • Automated responses to NickServ & ChanServ on DalNet
  • Optional auto-unban for channel ops
  • Automatic clone-checking and kicking for channel ops
  • Selectively ignore CTCPs and messages from certain users
  • A pager and message logger
  • Auto-whois users joining your channels
  • Flood protections, both for individual users and to protect a channel if you are an op.

Requirements

  • Ircle 3.0.4 for Mac OS 7, 8, or 9
  • Ircle 3.1b Carbon for Mac OS X
  • Applescript
  • 4 MB ram for Ircle
  • About 1.2 MB hard drive space

Hipscript will run on both PowerPC and 68000-series Macintosh computers, provided they meet the above requirements. However, use on a 68k will be considerably slower.

Actually, in the interests of honesty: I pretty much gave up on 680x0 support a while back. You can get it to run if you disable some of the plugins, but it's really not recommended.
