Enabling sound alerts in mIRC


So... I missed that deadline by a ~month. Sorry :(

The next version is finished though, to be released next Sunday/Monday. And it's not a beta! I know, shocking! Just sitting on it right now to make sure that all the bugs are squished.

So in preparation for that release, here's a small guide on how to enable sound alerts in mIRC.

1. Hit [Alt][B] and then click on the Highlight tab (1). Click Add (2).
2. Type the words that you want to trigger the sound (3). Separate each word with a comma. The * are wildcards. As shown, they will trigger if someone types "xxxdharmaxxx". If not used, the sound will only trigger if someone types "dharma" without surrounding characters.

Choose a color that will apply to the triggering text (4).

Choose a sound by clicking the button below twice (5).

It will cycle through No Sound, Beep, then it will open a file browser. There will be several .wav files that come with the portable install. If there's nothing there, you're not using my portable :) Choose a sound and click open. Preview the sound by pressing the play button (6).

You're done! Hit OK and OK.
