News: 18 Dec 99

Lots of news. Anyone who has visited this page in the past three months will have read that (a) I quit scripting and (b) I was throwing overdrive open to anyone who wanted to work on it.

(a) no longer true. Inevitably I've been drawn back in, mostly because I've found myself with some free time over Christmas. Equally inevitable is the fact that before long I will lose that free time and not want to script again. So I came up with a solution that means if/when I cannot/will not script, my work is not wasted. The high-concept 100% pure modular script system. The idea is too complex to explain here, basically it means a script can be co-developed by infinite scripters. So if I quit, it doesnt matter because hundreds of others can continue work. For more information, and the humble beginnings of this project, click here. If my instincts are right, this project will rule the entire mircscript universe. Er... or something.

(b) still true. If you want to work on overdrive, feel free to do so. In fact, don't even bother emailing me to ask. Just go ahead. But here are the 'rules':

• you're not alone. about six others are also building on overdrive. dont expect me to give you sole control over overdrive, the blessing of 'one true version'. let natural selection pick the winner.
• dont make it into a war script or ascii-art lamers script. although if you do, aint nothing I can do.
• leave some credit to me regarding the parts I wrote. If anyone just releases the script under their name without mentioning that I spent 9 months writing 5000 lines of it, I'll be very mad.
• if you want the help file source, or help with explaining my code, email me at ntd@mirc.net.
• as courtesy and down to genuine personal interest, I'd like to know what people do with it. drop me a line if you achieve anything significant.
• if you set up a wwwsite for your 'fork' of overdrive, give me the url and I'll link it from here.

thank you for your time ;)

Overdrive is an advanced mIRC script system by Ntd. To summarize: it is built around a powerful eggdrop-style flag-based userlist system; combined with almost every type of protection imaginable, channel and personal; packed with miscellaneous useful tools such as the ability to send email and ICQ messages; finished off by being extremely easy to use thanks to its inbuilt intelligence, dialog based configuration, dynamic popups and complete help file. Notable by their absence are lame features such as war tools, ascii art, nick completion, eRe3T t3xT, etc. However, that summary only gives the briefest idea of Overdrive's features, for a full list, please see the features page or to see whats new in the latest release, check the version history.
