Here are some tips to getting the most of the new ms agent support, and organizing a zoo of msagents for mirc, and putting on a mirc play.
• | enable an agent for yourself, by setting %mc_agent_char_mynick to a valid agent file |
• | use the /msagent_rolecall command to line up all agents on the screen |
• | turn bubbles on or off with %mc_agent_options "-b on" or "-b off" |
• | turn sound effects on or off with the -e switch |
• | set the hidden option "-h off" off to make the characters stay on screen even when you minimize mirc |
• | it's ok to use the same character to speak for different people, but you cant have 2 instances of the same character on the screen simultaneuously. to do that, you need to go to windows/msagent/chars and make copies of your .acs agent files, and give them new names, like merlin2.acs, merlin3.acs, etc. |
• | if you use the %mc_agent_talkoptions swicth -u (set by default), then you can alter talk speed from the mirc alt-O->Sounds->Agents->Speech dialog. You can also use the mirc lexicon to translate mispronounced words on smilies. |
• | put on a live mirc play and record it with a screen recording tool like flashcam or camtasia. |
• | from the mirc alt-O->Sounds->Agents->Speech dialog there is a mirc option to ignore non-text lines. for some reason this seems to kill all text with punctuation, so it should be disabled. |
