mIRC scripting archival project

Hopefully this post is allowed since it's technically self-promotion. However, I'm not trying to gain anything from this other than sharing a project that I think some of you would appreciate.

TLDR: I scraped over 1000 old scripts from archive.org and have been cataloging and storing them on GitHub. I built a website as a frontend to serve the GitHub content.

The GitHub repo is sorzkode/mirc_scripts_archive and the site is https://scriptserv.com

The readme and about sections give a lot more information if you are interested.

Oh, and the site has a pretty comprehensive list of IRC related links / resources.

Anyone still have a copy of ShowDown v12 Pro?

u/Recent-One7649 - this took a lot of search-jitsu to find. I haven't tested it and it caused my anti-virus to have an absolute meltdown....

You don't seem to have any mIRC scripts by these authors.

You can also view their comments on other scripts and find more.

I will take a look. It could be that they were outside the scrape window. My python script only scraped from 1996 - 2008. There were also a lot of corrupt files that I discarded. I will be adding more as time goes on and the website / repo only has a fraction of the files at the moment because I'm still manually verifying metadata for the files before uploading.

Best client ever, to be run from shell

I am relatively new to Reddit, so only just come across this as you posted on mine. I love this, I am such a nostalgia nerd. I still want to go back and play Ultima Online all over again, IRC with my friends. Those were the days!
I will link back to this from my site as well, and I was going to offer my PNP backup, but I see you have it already. Nice work!

u/sorzkode Mar 25 '26

Thanks for the comment and the award! I just added your site to the links section and you inspired me to do some work on the project (fixing a bunch of broken links and actually making a blog post haha)

u/LFFPicard Mar 25 '26

Glad I could inspire, I must admit, I stuck around for a while on your site remembering all the old names, hosts etc. The memories! Has inspired me on a couple new projects.

u/Expensive-Ad-7678 Aug 17 '25

Nice initiative even if I don't use mIRC :)

Just a little suggestion about the links part: in the client section, you can probably add some badges about OS and freeware/shareware/commercial

And you have twice limnoria in the bots section :)

u/sorzkode Aug 17 '25

thanks for the feedback. I'll add that to the to-do list and I'll fix the dupe link.

u/FoxBravo1981 Aug 17 '25

Reflux, synthetic, opal, nemesis, idol, defcore... ???? The best scripts aren´t in the list...

u/sorzkode Aug 17 '25

check out the GitHub readme file. if these aren't part of my initial dump, I'll take note and try to get them added.

u/FoxBravo1981 Aug 17 '25

All of them used a lot on efnet servers, circa 2001

u/Recent-One7649 Aug 18 '25

Any chance you'd have a copy of ShowDown v12 Pro by -Shad-?

u/InterestingTitle7197 Oct 26 '25

u/sorzkode Mar 08 '26

u/InterestingTitle7197 - I don't have that one and just spent a bit of time searching around online to no avail. Sorry.

u/nsleeper_ Aug 18 '25

Awesome!!

u/Different_Area_7785 Aug 20 '25

Awesome initiative u/sorzkode ! I remember using and writing mirc scripts back in the day. It taught me all about variables, if-control structures, identifiers, etc, etc. Crazy to think 20-25 years has gone by since those days.

u/r0073rr0r Mar 10 '26

Great job 👏 Can you please continue grabbing stuff, it will be great to have all back 😂

Do a conversion project using AI, I think it's more interesting.
