Dear all !

Here is the first beta of my SkoBrowser mIRC multi-games (FPS) server browser.
Though the "beta status", this script is 100% usable with all features available (except monitoring not supporting players events yet) and no big bug known on my side.
For the moment, only UT3 data are totally filled in the gamelist.ini (command line, gametypes, rules...) but it is possible to fill it for every game..

SkoBrowser B1

This is a must-have script for every FPS online players who are aswell IRC users because it is cumulating advantages of a great server browser & a monitoring system for IRC.

A great server browser :
- totally free (no ads,...)
- intuitive (easy and clear GUI with cascaded menu & popup menu)
- powerful (customisable filters, players & rules friendly display ... )
- upgradable (Easy to support more games & tweak display)
- no annoying install with crap on your reg... this is a script ! add or remove the directory from mIRC and the install is done/remove

A monitoring system :
- be warned on activity on your favorites servers
- automatically join the first server available meeting your requirement !
- be the first to join a full server as soon as a slot is free !!!
- You can "idle smart" in IRC instead of loosing your time in the crappy ingame server browser...

Here is short list of features supported by SkoBrowser :
- Over 40 recent games in this beta (5 differents protocols supported) ... The list can easily get a lot bigger with your help !!!
- Favorites (Either sorted by game or all mixed together so you have the best overview possible !)
- Master server query (for nearly every game / only CODWAW missing atm in this beta)
- Players listing (& displayed in teams if info available)
- Password support
- mIRC copy/paste : Catch IP, Paste server info to mIRC channel, Copy IP, map to clipboard...
- Powerful "find text" tool
- Monitoring system : Be aware of every interesting event on your favorite servers and automatically join them
- Game launch with custom command line options
- Map preview display
and many more...

Everything is coded in mIRC :
- no external dll used (except DCX.dll which is a -very good - extension to graphical interface dll)
- no qstat or gslist... I coded all protocols in MSL (mIRC script language) ! (Thx Luigi Auriemma for support)
- you can check the code that there is nothing harmfull for your system... (good luck as the code is quite optimised & packed)
- you can even tweak the code by yourself if you master MSL ; but please don't share modified versions...

I need help !
To release my first version, I need your help, SkoBrowser users !
- I need a site & a forum to host my SkoBrowser script
- I need fervent users to promote the script, help noob mIRC users, be my "ambassadors" as I got very low time for users support myself... :(
- I need game owners to help me fill the "gamelist.ini" files with default command line & test everything is OK
- I need motivated users to give me data for more games (A cool 32x32 ico and the game settings (protocol, master ...)

What to expect in first released version :
- A bigger game list with data filled (default command lines, rules & gametypes) ; For that I require help of game owners...
- Monitoring part recoded (to remove the "monitoring stopped" when you use again the browser)
- A few code optimisation...
- Bugs reported removed !

My script experience :
I am not exactly new to mIRC scripting as I started coding my first server query (FavUT) in ... 2003 !
Since then I coded : FavUT, SkQ4 (Quake 4), SkUT3 (UT3) (awarded with MSUC prize) and SkUTx (all UT series) with more or less popularity according to the online community health...
Now all games are supported so I hope to have a very big user community !

Please share the good new !
Enjoy SkoBrowser
