XDCC Klipper is a mIRC add-on which makes the DCC Browsing
and downloading easier.
XDCC Klipper helps you manage those XDCC, and XDCC clone,
bots, so you don't scroll through endless drabble in
different Channels. Original idea By 4:20 Studios,
modifications made by DC_Playa, SnypeTEST, Barc0de, and me:
Saragani.
XDCC Klipper helps
you download the packs, resume it, enter the queue etc, and
make your life easier. An explanation on how to use XDCC
Klipper will appear later on this tutorial.
XDCC Klipper 4.4 requires mIRC 6.16 or newer.
One or 2 functions will not work on older versions of mIRC.
You can edit the xdccklipper.mrc file with notepad in order
to make it compatible with mIRC 6.03 and newer versions.
Open the file with notepad, then look for $v1 and replace it
with $ifmatch
Before Installing XDCC Klipper you need to
configure your mIRC. Start your mIRC and configure it as
explained:
A) Tools
à
OptionsàConnectàOptionsà
Enable reconnect on disconnection
B) ToolsàOptionsàIRCà Disable Rejoin channels on connect
C) ToolsàOptions-àIRCà Enable Keep channels open
D) ToolsàOptionsàDCCà On send requestà
Auto get file. If file existsà
resume
E) ToolsàOptionsàDCCàOptionsà
Uncheck Show Warning
F) ToolsàOptionsàDCCà Foldersà
DCC ignoreà Disabled. Uncheck the "Turn ignore back
on in:"
G) ToolsàOptionsàConnect optionsàRetryà Change the retry connection to the max, and the retry delay to 60
seconds.
H) Close mIRC configuration and press ALT+R. Then click on
Options and Uncheck the Initialization Warning.
After you have configured
mIRC you can install XDCC Klipper. Open the Zip file with
WinZip, and then extract the files to any directory you
want. If you already have an older version of XDCC Klipper
loaded in your mIRC then overwrite the older version to
prevent 2 different versions of being loaded to your mIRC.
After you have extracted the files, then you can load them
in 2 ways (Choose 1):
1)
You can write in mIRC:
/load -rs
"X:\the path to your xdcc klipper\xdccklipper.mrc"
For example:
/load -rs "c:\program files\xdcc
klipper\xdccklipper.mrc"
2) Open the script editor by pressing ALT+R
and then click on File-->Load, Browse to the location of
xdccklipper.mrc, choose the xdccklipper.mrc file and click
on Open. This will load your XDCC Klipper.
XDCC Klipper submits the data
which is being collected by users to a search engine called
IRC Klipper. IRC Klipper has links which start with xdcc://
which makes XDCC Klipper to connect to the server and start
downloading the pack in the link. In order to be able to use
those links you need to register the xdcc:// protocol in
Internet Explorer. For registering this protocol you need to
first load XDCC Klipper as explained. Then right click on
the main window and choose:
Script Options-->Registry
Key Maker-->Create Key
Unlike previous versions
(Versions prior to 4.4x), you don't need to choose the OS
you have, and you don't need to look for the xdcc.reg file
and double click it, because XDCC Klipper does it
automatically now.
After you have loaded XDCC
Klipper then you can configure it. The default options
usually suite for most people. To open the configuration
right click on the main window and choose:
Script Options-->XDCC
Klipper Configuration
Save downloaded files inside
directories with Bots names will download the files which
are named the same as the bot. This is good when you request
the same file from different bots and you want to leave the
fastest one and remove the others. If you don't enable this
option then when the other transfers start, they will try to
write to the same file and the transfer will fail.
XDCC Klipper can move
completed files to a different drive/directory when the
transfer is done. This version now uses an external script
(a .vbs file) to move the file. This was made to solve the
problem that mIRC is single threaded which would locks up
mIRC until it finishes moving the file. It is important to
enable in your Antivirus to run the vbs script.
XDCC Klipper has a built in
spam/virus messages blocker which blocks PMs (Private
messages) considered as spam and then ignores the spammer.
The database of the spam blocker is being updated
automatically. It has the following spam blocking levels:
None,
Normal,
High and Extreme.
None – Spam blocking is disabled
Normal – XDCC Klipper will only block spam which
appear in spam database
High – XDCC Klipper
will block any PM which has http:, www, porn, freeipods, xxx
etc.
Extreme – XDCC Klipper
will block any PM you get!
Accept files from trusted
users only will make XDCC Klipper accept files only from
users which appear in your XDCC Klipper Status Window. If
you use other downloading scripts (for downloading from
fserves, you will need to disable this option). This
function was added to prevent infected users from sending
you viruses.
After 180 seconds (By
default. The delay can be changed) a request that the bot
didn't reply on is being timed out. You can configure your
XDCC Klipper to Do Nothing, or to request the pack again
after that period.
A file called Finished.txt
contains a list of completed files. By default is being
deleted when you exit mIRC. You can disable the file delete.
When a download fails, you
can tell your XDCC Klipper to trim the end of the file. This
was meant to reduce the file corruption which might happened
when the transfer was closed because of bad connection.
You can configure the timing
of XDCC Klipper
The Number of retries will
define how many times XDCC Klipper will try to resume if the
download fails. If you set it to be 0, then it will be
infinite retries. It will stop requesting for the pack as
soon as you where added to the queue, the download started
or if you canceled the resuming.
The time between the retries is literally what it says. If
you set it to be 150 seconds, then it will request the pack
(incase it failed) every 150 seconds.
Get On Queue retry time is the time between every Get On
Queue request. Get On Queue is used when the Bot is Full (No
opened slots and no space in the Bots queue). If you try to
request a pack from a full Bot, it will tell you to try
later. When you add a Pack to the Get On Queue, it will try
to request it every X seconds automatically, until you
manage to enter the Queue. By default, the Get On Queue
delay is set to 60-120 seconds. This will cause XDCC Klipper
to random each time a delay which is between those 2
numbers.
XDCC Klipper allows you to request the list of packs from
bots. You can select multiple bots and request a list. The
time between bots listing defines how much time it will pass
between each List request. It is suggested not to have delay
set too low (as you could be kicked and banned from channel
for flooding)
Queue insurance delay is the delay that XDCC Klipper will
wait until it requests a queued pack again if the bot didn't
update your queue position. For example, you have requested
pack #1 from BOT and it told you that you are in position
#5. Usually the bot should update you with your current
queue position from time to time (It varies in different
bots). To ensure that the BOT didn't lose you in the queue,
XDCC Klipper will request the pack again after 1 Hour from
the last update.
If Enable Tracking on new packs is checked then XDCC
Klipper will have track packs that are being added to the
Klipper windows. If you right mIRC main window and choose
XDCC Klipper Windows à
Open the New Packs window, then you will see that a new
window was opened. You can also open this window by pressing
F6 if you are located on the Klipper window. Pressing F6
again will refresh the New Packs window. Each time
the New Packs window is being opened or being
refreshed you will see only the packs that were added the
Klipper window since the last time you opened or refreshed
the New Packs window.
If you have XDCC Klipper set to have 1 Klipper window for
all networks then you will see only 1 New Packs window.
If you have XDCC Klipper set to have a Klipper window for
each then you will see only a New Packs window for
every network, and each of them can be refreshed separately.
When you are inside the New Packs window, then you
can refresh it using F5.
Pack Tracking currently allow you only to track changes in
the bots name. If enabled it will auto change timers and
data in the Klipper window and Status window. Future version
of XDCC Klipper will probably also include pack number
tracking, which will track changes in pack numbers.
Track downloads and warn from duplicates (is enabled) will
do a check every time a download starts. It will check if
the same filename exists in another item in the status
window and that the item is marked as finished, or the same
filename exists in the "Completed Files" directory. It one
of the situations occurs, you will get a duplicates warning.
This was meant to prevent you from downloading the same file
twice.
The E-mail configuration is important for using the E-mail
functions. XDCC Klipper allows you to receive e-mails that
can tell your mIRC what to download, you can ask it to send
you downloads report, and you can even tell it to run
programs (Like VNC, Remote Admin, Emule .....)
The Username is the username which is used for login to the
e-mail account
The Verification Code is a code that you define which helps
decreasing the possibility that unauthorized person will
tell your computer what to download, or run programs.
The Password is the password which is used for login to the
e-mail account
The POP3 server is the incoming mail server
The SMTP server is the outgoing mail server
Your e-mail address is very important if you want to be able
to send downloads reports.
Checking the "Show messages about the e-mails" will show
messages every X seconds about the amount of e-mails in the
Inbox.
"Using Hotmail Account" must be checked incase you want to
use a Hotmail.com account. (Dahhh!!!)
In order to use Hotmail account you need a little software
called Hotmail Popper that can be found at
http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/ .
In order to use it, you need to install the Hotmail Popper,
and then configure the POP3 and the SMTP servers to be
127.0.0.1
If you are not using a Hotmail account, you must uncheck the
"Using Hotmail Account".
Since 6 months ago Microsoft has decided to change few
things in her Hotmail service then only "old" accounts can
use outlook to send emails, and sometimes you also need to
enter the website and enter a code. This may prevent you
from using hotmail.
If your email account requires Authentication in order to
send emails then you need to enable the SMTP authentication.
This configuration menu lets
you enable/disable one or more the email functions. If you
don't enter any email configuration then those functions
won't work. If all email configurations are set then all 3
email functions are accessible. This window let you disable
few of them and not all of them (For example, security
reasons)
The Colors windows allow you
to configure the colors of line in the Klipper window, the
Status window etc. Those configuration suit for most users,
but if you have a dark background in your mIRC, you will
most likely need to change some of the colors in order to
see dark lines. The color of Bots is being determined by
their names (It is being calculated using an algorithm)
You can define filters. The
filters (which are order sensitive) will let you get in your
Filters window only packs which match the filter than you
entered.
You need to enable the
specific filter for XDCC Klipper to catch it (The most left
column). It is suggested to have a different color of each
filter so you will be able to distinguish between them
easily in the Filters window.
You can also enable the auto
Download for few filters (Again, in order that this function
will work, the filter must be enabled). It will
automatically request a pack if the bot list it and it
matches the filter you have entered.
As you can see in the picture
blow, the auto download has 3 states: Unchecked, Checked
with V and Checked with Square.
When unchecked, auto
download is disabled.
When checked with a V,
the auto download version 1. It will download any pack that
it is found to be matching your criteria.
Be aware that if you don't
baby sit your XDCC Klipper, you could find yourself
requesting lots of packs (and maybe ending up banned by the
channel Ops). Use it only if you know that something is
going to be released soon in the channels that you are on,
and you want to be one of the first users to enter the
queue.
When checked with a square,
the auto download version 2. It will download packs that it
are found to be matching your criteria, but none of them has
the same description, for example:
With the auto download
version 2, if define for example Stargate 9 10
This will filter only
Stargate episodes which are probably season 9 episode
10.
The thing with the new method
is that if the description of the file is IDENTICAL in all
bots then it will request it only from the first bot.
For example:
Bot1 pack #1 Stargate S09E10
LOL
Bot1 pack #2 Stargate S09E10
LOL
Bot2 pack #1 Stargate S09E10
LOL
Bot3 pack #3 Stargate S09E10
LOL
Bot4 pack #6 Stargate S09E10
LOL
Bot5 pack #1 Stargate S09E10
LOL-HDTV
If we assume that Bot1 listed
first then it will request the pack only from Bot1 and Bot5.
In this window you can
enable/disable Event sounds of XDCC Klipper (Some of the
users think that those sounds are useful).
You can also configure your
XDCC Klipper to support movie previewing while it's being
downloaded. All you need is to download VideoLan Medial
Player and configure its location.
In this configuration window
you can configure it some of the windows or all of them will
be automatically opened on Connect/Start.
By default XDCC Klipper is
configured to load the old content of the status window
(just before you closed mIRC), reconnect the servers and
request the packs again. You can change the "When mIRC
starts" so XDCC Klipper will only load the old status window
content, but will not try to connect to any server, or you
can also tell it not to load the old status window at all.
The Klipper and the Filters
window are being refreshed every 60 seconds (by default). You can enable disabled the refreshing, change
the refresh delay and disable the refreshing of the window
you are currently viewing (current active window).
Suppress ads will prevent the
Ads of the bots to appear in your channels window. This is
good to prevent trashing the windows or to see if XDCC
Klipper doesn't catch one kind of bots.
Enabling packs submission
enables the submission to IRC Klipper. You will most likely
not have to configure anything in this window.
You can configure a secondary
search engine, so your XDCC Klipper will submit the packs to
another search engine (The search engine must be using the
IRC Klipper PHP source code).
You can also configure a
remote control server address. It will allow you to control
your XDCC Klipper using a website. The website must support
PHP!
I added a Search bot (If
someone messages you !search something), your XDCC Klipper
will give him results. This option is disabled by default,
and it is a good thing to have it disabled unless you
actually want to run a search bot!!!
All the Windows of XDCC
Klipper, and also the Main mIRC window, the channels window,
and the nicklist have right click menus. Those menus will
let you do stuff (For example, opening the configuration).
The right click menus for the XDCC Klipper windows will be
explained for each window in the next sections.
If you right click on
Shutdown/Close on top of your mIRC, then you can either
choose Shutdown Computer, Close mIRC or Disable
Shutdown/Close:
Use this option to shutdown
your computer or close mIRC when all transfers are done (All
items in your Status Window are completed). Every time you
start your mIRC it unset the state of this configuration
back to disabled.
If you don't see the
Shutdown/Close Icon (It might happen when loading XDCC
Klipper when a version older than 4.4 is currently loaded to
your mIRC) then write: /tbtrayload
Another useful right click
menus are the menus which appear in the main mIRC window and
also in the channels windows. When you right click on one
those windows you get:
With this right click menu
you can open the search dialog which let you search on
search engines like IRC Klipper and Packetnews:
You can also configure XDCC
Klipper, open windows (Status Window, Klipper Window,
Filters Window and Offline Browser Window), search packs
inside the Offline Browser, export the Offline Browser to a
HTML file, reload and unload XDCC Klipper, register the
xdcc:// protocol, turn On/Off XDCC Klipper, etc.
You can also save the
password for login a server (Nickserv authentication). When
choosing "Save Nickserv Login", XDCC Klipper will request
the password for the network you right clicked on its
windows. Next time you will connect to that network, XDCC
Klipper will auto send the identify command to the server.
Note: This is one of the functions which require mIRC 6.16.
Another important right click
menu is the one you get when you right click a nicklist in a
channel. If you right click a bot (Or mark few bots and
right click them) then you can do stuff like requesting a
pack or requesting a list of packs. All those functions will
work on the first bot which is marked accept the "List
selected bots", and "Enter Batch Syntax" which are meant to
be used on a list of marked bots. All you need it to right
click on the nick list and choose XDCC Klipper Functions:
As you can see, you can list
Bot(s), and stop the multiple listing. You can also use the
"Get Pack" to request a pack once. If the bots queue is full
then you will automatically added to the Get On Queue list.
Get On Queue is a function which request the pack every
define delay (by default it is random number between 60 and
120 seconds). If you are added to the bots queue, or the
download starts, XDCC Klipper will automatically stop using
the Get On Queue for that bot.
Entering the syntax manually
for 1 bot or more is usually something that a newbie
shouldn't deal with. XDCC Klipper should usually recognize
the syntax of the bot if it list (Syntax is how you request
the pack, for example: /ctcp bot xdcc send #1, /msg bot
xdcc send #1, or /msg bot please gimme pack #1). If you tell
XDCC Klipper to download the pack by using a link taken from
IRC Klipper then the link should also contain the syntax, so
usually there is no need to enter the syntax manually.
For entering the syntax for 1
bot, you need to write the syntax as the bot told you, but
without the #x at the end, for example: /msg [xk]-dcc01 xdcc
send
If you want to enter the
syntax for a bunch of bots which has a similar syntax, then
use a right function and write the syntax in a form of: /msg
xknicks ……, for example: /msg xknicks xdcc send
XDCC Klipper will
automatically replace the xknicks with the right bots name.
If you request a pack and the
bot is offline, then XDCC Klipper will automatically add the
pack/bot to a waiting list, and will request the pack when
the bot returns (if it will return at all). You can disable
to auto request for all the bots (XDCC Klipper will not add
the bots to a waiting list anymore) by choosing "Disable the
Auto Apply…"
There are main kinds of
windows in XDCC Klipper: The Klipper Window(s), The Status
Window, The Filters Window and the Offline Browser Window.
Each of them has its own purpose.
In this window you can see
the list of packs that the bots offered. If you choose to
have a Klipper window for each network, then each network
will have its on window and it will contain the packs which
were collected on that network only. If you choose 1 Klipper
window, then it will contain the packs from all networks.
If you right click on a line
or lines in the Klipper Window, you can do stuff. Choosing
Visual will let you change the size of columns and choose if
you want 1 Klipper Window or lots of Klipper Windows.
Choosing Sorting will let you sort the data in the window.
On the Get Pack(s) you can choose if you want to request
using Get Pack, or using Get On Queue. You can also Batch
request selected packs.
You can also do search inside
the windows. Types of searches are regular search inside all
networks, or in the current network if using lots of Klipper
Windows. Another type (Which was added in version 4.4) is
the advanced search which also let you choose minimum and
maximum size:
You can also save/load/export
to HTML the Klipper Window using the right click menus on
that window.
In the Status Window, you can find all the information you
need about the downloads, etc... It is important that you
will work with it (so leave it opened), because you will
most likely have to do some Right clicking and stuff like
that on that window.
For example: If you are downloading a file, and you want to
cancel it, then closing the transfer window )or clicking the
cancel) will cancel the download, but will also cause the
file to be resumed (after the period you have set. Default
is 150 seconds). You can cancel the resuming from the Status
Window.
A
smarter thing will be to cancel the download from the Status
Window itself (It will automatically close the transfer
window, and will not resume).
You can also remove packs from the Get On Queue, or from the
Klipboard. Disable the scheduling (will not download the
file), or start the scheduled download right now....
If you have a pack in the Status Window which is being
downloaded, in Get On Queue, on Queue, or other than in the
Klipboard, removing the line will automatically search for
the next pack from that bot which is in the Klipboard list,
and will request it, so if you wanna cancel all the packs
from a specific bot, start from the packs which are in the
Klipboard first!!.
You can also mark more than one pack and press DEL in order
to cancel few packs.
Using the right click you can disable packs and do lots of
actions. XDCC Klipper now has 1 status window for all
network, which will probably make your control of the
downloads easier. Furthermore, when you close mIRC (or when
mIRC crashes), the content of this window is not being
erased, so when you start mIRC again, it will auto-connect
to the servers and channels and will request the packs
again.
Few things that I have added to version 4.4 are the option
to preview a movie while it is being downloaded (Only if the
file is mpeg or avi. It won't work on tar/rar files), and
that you can also cancel a download and Delete the file from
your HD, or open a file after it is completed.
In this window you see the
packs that XDCC Klipper caught which match the filters you
have defined. This way you can see in real time if there are
packs that match your criteria in any network that you are
connected to, so you could request it. You can also define
XDCC Klipper to download automatically all the packs which
match your criteria…. But be careful on that one, because
you might find yourself banned form the server because of
leaching/requesting too many packs, or just find yourself
with lots of packs in your status window that you will need
to cancel later.
The offline Browser window
collects information from all networks, and it doesn't being
erased when you close your mIRC. This can help you look for
things even when you are offline. Just make sure to clear it
every once in a while so it won't have out of date or that
it won't be too big. Note that when the offline browser is
big it takes a lot of time to open it.
XDCC Klipper support some
advanced functions which might be helpful for some users
from time to time.
There are 3 e-mail functions in XDCC Klipper: xdccmail,
xdccstat and xdccrun. The xdcctest is only used for testing
incoming mail, and there for it is not a function.
Email function were good when other options were not
available (For example Remote Control which is by far much
better), and they were coded back in the old versions.
Incase you want to check the incoming mail, you need to send
the e-mail account that is configured in XDCC Klipper an
e-mail with the subject xdcctest
When XDCC Klipper will check the e-mail account again it
will tell you that the test went OK.
The xdccmail function lets you tell your computer what to
download by sending it an e-mail. This is good when you are
away from the computer. The format of the e-mail must be:
Subject: xdccmail VCode
(incase you didn't defined a verification code, leave the
Vcode empty).
:start
Network Server Channel Bot Packs
Network Server Channel Bot Packs
:end
Here is a good example:
You can tell XDCC Klipper to have more than 1 pack from the
same bot.
You can also cancel packs using the xdccmail function. The
only difference is that you don't need to put ":start" and
":end". All you need to write is:
:cancel Network Bot Pack
The xdccstat function lets you get downloads report by
e-mail.
The format of the e-mail must be:
Subject: xdccstat Vcode
(If you didn't define Verification code then leave the Vcode
empty).
:goback email_address
The e-mail address is where the report will be sent to. You
can tell XDCC Klipper to send the e-mail to more than 1
recipient if you put more than 1 :goback line
Here is a good example:
The third E-mail function (xdccrun) can let you run programs
my using e-mail (Incase you wanna run VNC or emule, but you
are away from the computer, I mean far far away from the
computer).
Since this function could be dangerous (for example: someone
can run format c: /q /Y ), then this function can not run
without a Verification Code. If you didn't define one, then
you will not be able to use this function. Further more, the
xdccrun has a double identification. You will also need to
put your e-mail password in the subject (So if someone wants
to run programs in your computer, he must know both the
Vcode and the e-mail password).
The e-mail must be on the following form:
Subject: xdccrun Vcode Password
:xdccrun x:\path\file.exe ( + switches )
For example: :xdccrun c:\flashfxp\flashfxp.exe
243.23.11.19
Here is a good example:
TIP: If you know of a certain programs that you will most
likely gonna run, then create a batch file that runs them,
and put it in the main directory of mIRC. Then, when you
send the e-mail, you just need to write a short command:
:xdccrun emule.bat
Remote control is a tool
which helps you control your mIRC when you are away from it
by having a website hosted somewhere which supports PHP.
XDCC Klipper sends data to the website every 30 seconds, and
XDCC Klipper picks jobs from the server every 60 seconds
(this delay can be configured in the XDCC Klipper
configuration).
The website contains a small
PHP script coded by Butabi which is meant to "talk" with
XDCC Klipper. I and Butabi worked on it so the PHP website
will be able to talk and control XDCC Klipper. You can
download the remote control version 0.4 from the following
link:
http://xdccklipper.sourceforge.net/Remote 0.4.zip
NOTE: Remote Control 0.4 works only with XDCC Klipper 4.42
or newer. XDCC Klipper 4.42 works only with Remote Control
0.4.
If
you are using XDCC Klipper 4.41 or older then you need
Remote Control 0.3
You
can see an screenshot of the of the website where you can
see and control your mIRC status window (You can tell it to
start download things by searching IRC Klipper or Packetnews
and then clicking on the link, or you can click on Cancel
which will tell XDCC Klipper to cancel the download):
This section is meant only
for people who want and can run the HTTP server on their own
computer. This is by far the best solution because we have
seen situations that scripts doesn't run well on some web
hosting services (mostly the free one). First make sure
that you have port 80 opened and available. (Some programs
like Emule (if you enable http server) and Bitlord tend to
use this port). If port 80 is being used, then please
configure the software that uses it to use another port.
Port 80 is the default port for HTTP server.
6.2.1.1 Getting a
Subdomain
First we will start by
getting a Domain for your computer. Domain convert this:
84.31.120.12 into this: WaSaBi.no-ip.info. In
another words…. It makes IP into a text address. It is also
important because your IP may change, and if you are far
from the computer then you have no idea what it is now.
Domains usually cost money,
but you can get subdomains for free by services such as
No-IP.com
First go to
www.no-ip.com , click on the Sign Up Now and
register a new account. Then login into your account (your
email should be sent to you my mail), Expand the
Host/Redirects if it's not expended and choose add.
Choose a host name (For example wasabi), choose an
extension for your subtomain (For example zapto.org),
and then click on Create Host.
Now go to:
http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php?page=win
Get the latest version of the
program, download it, install it, configure it (subdomain,
username password etc), and then this small program will
update the information about your IP and will bind it to the
subdomain you chose.
Wait few minutes and then try
to ping your subdomain, for example: Startà
Run à Ping
wasabi.no-ip.info
You should get something
like:
Pinging wasabi.no-ip.com
[84.31.120.12] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 84.31.120.12:
bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 84.31.120.12:
bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 84.31.120.12:
bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Make sure that the IP you see
is not 192.168.*, because then it will mean that no-ip
program sends your internal IP address, and you will not be
able to connect to the server from outside. For solving this
problem you just need configure the no-ip program to send
the right address.
Btw, you can configure the
no-ip program to start with windows or run as service.
Running as service is suggested because then it auto loads
when windows starts and you also don't see the icon in the
task bar.
The easiest way will be using
a pre-made pack which will auto install all the needed
servers on your computer. I suggest XAMPP (AMPP sands for
Apache MySQL PHP Perl). It is easy to install, easy to
control and very stable. If you have an older version of
XAMPP installed then it is suggested to uninstall it first,
because leftovers can make the new version not to work. You
can get XAMPP at:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
After downloading the file,
run and install XAMPP. Then start the XAMPP control panel:
If you click on the Start,
then it will start the server. When installing XAMPP it asks
you if you want to install it as service, this will tell
windows to run it on startup. You can also choose which
servers (apache, mysql, etc) will start as service by
checking or un-checking the Svc. For having the Remote
Control, you only need to start the Apache.
If you want to run a
Secondary Search Engine on your computer (section 6.3),
then you will also need to start the MySQL. For configuring
the MySQL see section 6.2.1.2.1
If you don't need a MySQL
server then jump straight to section 6.2.2
Start the MySQL server. Then
go to IE and write:
http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/
Now create a new database
which will be used by your search engine:
Click on Create, and then
after the database was created the choose if from the list
of databases on the left. Now we want to create the table
that will be used by your search engine. I assume that you
have the IRC Klipper 1.1 pack, so inside it you will find a
file called ircklipper.sql. Open this file with
Notepad, Copy the text to your clipboard, and go back to
phpmyadmin. After choosing the database from the list on the
left you have an option called SQL on the top of the
page, Click on it.
Now in the text box that you
see paste the text that you copied and then click on Go.
You should not see a message like:
"Your
SQL query has been executed successfully".
Now
it is time to create a user for the database. On the list of
databases on the left choose (Databases)…
Now
click on Privileges. Click on Add a new User,
and configure username password, host and privileges and
click on Go. For example:
You
may also consider deleting the Root user (which
doesn't have any password) and configuring the phpmyadmin
for the new username and password (for better security).
Apache (the HTTP server) is being configured by XAMPP, and
it is not always configured the way we want. For example,
you are planning to have the php and html files located on
one directory while XAMPP configures Apache to have them on
another directory. To configure Apache, open the XAMPP
directory, enter the Apache directory, then the
conf directory
(for example: D:\apachefriends\xampp\apache\conf\),
and open httpd.conf with Notepad. Make sure you make
a backup first before you start messing with that file (If
you screw something then apache will not work!!!).
Now
search for DocumentRoot. You should see that it is
configured to something like:
DocumentRoot "D:/apachefriends/xampp/htdocs"
You
will need to change the DocumentRoot to the location of your
HTML and PHP files, for example:
DocumentRoot "D:/remote control/"
This is a very important note: The Slashes must be / and not
\
After changing the DocumentRoot and saving the file you
MUST
restart the apache server (By
clicking on Stop and then Start from the Control Panel of
XAMPP) for the changes to be applied.
Now
if you go to:
http://127.0.0.1/ or to your subdomain (for example:
http://wasabi.no-ip.info ) then you should see your
website while assuming that you already extracted the Remote
Control files somewhere.
This section can be useful for people who want to have 2
different websites on the same computer and that each of
them has a different domain. VHost (which stands for Virtual
Host) allow you to have 2 websites on the same computer,
which can be good if you have 2 computers which download
things with mIRC, and you want that each of them will submit
data to the Remote Control (and you will need to have 2
Remote Control websites / directories on your computer for
that one), or you already have a working website on your
computer and you want to add another one with a different
domain.
If you don't need it then don't setup a VHost
In
order to have a VHost, open the httpd.conf with
Notepad. Then search for #</VirtualHost>
Below that you need to enter the VHost
information. Here is an example of the lines you need to
add:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wasabi2.no-ip.com
DocumentRoot "D:/SE-MY/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wasabi.no-ip.com
DocumentRoot "D:/WaSaBi/"
</VirtualHost>
You must have NameVirtualHost *:80. It
tells apache to use VirtualHost and listen to port 80
Put in ServerName the domain/subdomain you
want to use, and in DocumentRoot the location of each of the
websites.
Don't forget to restart Apache!!
In order to be able to use
it, you will need to upload the PHP files to your website
(Or put them in the right directory incase you have created
the website on your own computer), and configure it.
First thing to do is to give
permissions to the script to be able to run the scrip and
write the files. This action is called CHMOD. If you want to
CHMOD a file, then just connect with ftp client to the
server, choose the files, right click and choose CHMOD. All
the files except array.txt,
ircklipper.txt,
jobs.txt and
packetnews.txt should be
CHMODed to 644. The files in red must be CHMODed to 777 (so
the script will be able to write data into it)
Now we need to configure
username and password (which are saved inside the
passwd.txt file).
Enter the URL to the
chpass.php, example:
http://wasabi.no-ip.info/chpass.php
You will be prompted for
username/password ... enter admin/1234
Enter your desired
username/password (anything you want) and click submit, the
new user/pass is set.
Another file you can
configure is the config.php. To be more specific, you
might want to change the style. Changing the style will
change how the progress bar looks. Please note that for
using a graphical progress bar you need to have GDI
installed (which might not be installed by your hosting).
XAMPP has it installed so no worryJ.
By default the style is set to analog which doesn't require
GDI. This is how the styles look like:
analog: 
winxp: 
osx: 
led: 
solaris: 
Now comes the part where you
configure XDCC Klipper.
In order it to work, you need
to enable the remote control by PHP. Then you need to enter
the address of the website, for example
www.mycontrol.com/wasabi/php-control/
Then enter the username and
password that you have configured in the website, for
example: WaSabi:12345
After configuring the server
address, the username & password and enabling the Remote,
then it should work fine.
The purpose of this function
is to allow the user to submit the data to other search
engines beside IRC Klipper (which is back
J and online now
for almost a year). In order to have this function working
you need to download IRC Klipper source code, or submit the
data to a website which works with that source code.
Incase you are creating your
own search engine, download the source code. Then you will
need to upload it to a website which supports PHP and MySQL
(If you want to have the search engine on your own computer
and you don't know how to get apache+php+mysql installed
then please read section 6.2.1.
You will need to have a
database off course, and you will need to configure (edit)
the IRC Klipper source code so it will fit the website
(Username and password to the database and also the database
name). The files that should be edited are MySQL.inc.php
and main.php
In each of them you must
enter database name, host, username and password. In
main.php you must also change the table name to packs.
If you submit the data to an
already existing website, then you only need to configure
XDCC Klipper.
You need to enable packs
submission and also enable the "submit packs to another SE".
Don't forget to enter the address of the search engine. This
address is the address of the index.php (as well as the
submit.php file).
