SDFind v3.96 by SDSailor For mIRC 5.81 and above. Now available at: http://calypso.spaceports.com/~sdsailor/ I prefer that you reach me on IRC, I use Undernet, and am always on #mp3tunes. I currently use the nick SanDiego. Upgrading: First MAKE SURE you have mIRC 5.81 or higher! If you don't know click on help, then about to see what version you are using. Unzip SDFind396.zip putting the files into your mIRC directory. In any mIRC window type: /load -rs SDFind.ini Click on the YES button when mIRC asks if you should run the installation commands. You will be asked what kind of list you want, you can press cancel to keep your existing list. Now open the SDFind controls from the Commands menu or by typing /sdfind and turn on any of the features you want. If you get an error about colors, click on the Change Colors option in the SDFind Controls window. New Installation: First MAKE SURE you have mIRC 5.81 or higher! If you don't know click on help, then about to see what version you are using. Connect to IRC and join your favorite channels. Unzip SDFind395.zip putting the files into your mIRC directory. In any mIRC window type: /load -rs SDFind.ini Click on the YES button when mIRC asks if you should run the installation commands. You will be asked what dirs (folders) you want to share from. SDFind searches all subdirectories of a directory selected, no need to select them all individually. CAUTION: ALL files in the selected directories AND their subdirectories can be requested. You will be asked what kind of list you want Watch the Status window, when the blue message say your list is done, SDFind is fully installed. Now open the SDFind controls from the Commands menu or by typing /sdfind and turn on any of the features you want. Now there are a couple of settings in mIRC that you will need to check. In Options/DCC/Options, Check the On completion... close window... send box. Otherwise SDFind will think that competed sends are still active. In Options/Connect/Local Info, Make sure the Local Host and Server are checked, if not check them and reconnect to IRC server. In Options/General/Lock, uncheck Disable Commands /run. Control: SDFind options are accessed by typing /sdfind OR by clicking on the word "Commands" at the top of mIRC, then on "SDFind Controls". At the top of this window is a list of 7 "Pages" of controls for SDFind, click on any tab to access those controls. When you change an option you must either click on OK or Apply for the change to take effect. Clicking on On Top will force the options window to stay on top until you click on OK or Cancel. Main: The 6 check boxes at the top control the basic functions of SDFind, check the ones you want to use. Make list updates your list with any new files you have, Close Sends closes all your sends, adding the file into your que again. Options: This is where you change most of the details of SDFind, most are self-explanatory and the defaults are appropriate for most channels. You may want to ask an op in the channels you serve in about the rules for that channel. One question I constantly get is about nice to ops and nice to voice. when either/both of those are checked, requests from ops or voiced (+) users get priority in the que. This is to give an incentive for others to share also. Other: These are a few of the lesser used options. If you experience "target change too fast" errors or get disconnected due to "excess flood" follow the instructions on this page. When you change either of these settings, make the change, then wait 30-60 min to see if the change was enough. DCC: This page gives you current statistics about sends and gets. Lists: This page lets you search the lists you have downloaded from others. you can search any .TXT that is in the directory mIRC puts .txt files that you download. Put what you want to search for where it says Enter Search String and press Search One, or Search All, to search the next list press Search Next. When you find something you want to request, double click on the line. Dirs/Chan: This is where you tell SDFind what directories/folders to offer from. And which channels to offer to. Play Messages: This page lets you set Play Messages, text that is shown when you offer a song with SDPlay. Also you can search your own list, put what you want to search for where it says Match Text and press Find. New in 3.96 Faster list maker when sorting by directory. Fixed dcc speed limit.
