Peace & Protection Installation

How to install using the zipfiles.

Installing a new copy of P&P

  1. Make sure no copies of mIRC are running.
  2. If you like, make a backup of your mIRC directory.
  3. Unzip or copy all files into your %appdata%\mIRC directory. Make sure you retain the directories, and overwrite any existing files. In WinZip, this option is called "Use folder names". In otherwords, you should now have SCRIPT, ADDONS and THEMES directories within your mIRC directory. If you do not, you did something wrong.
  4. You should now have all of the above directories, as well as mirc.exe in the directory. You may also have or want mirc.ini and servers.ini, but you can load the script without these.
  5. Start mIRC.
  6. Turn off 'Confirm when using a command that may run a script' in mIRC Options. (Alt + O -> Category -> Other -> Confirm... button (bottom check box))
  7. In your status window, type /load -rs script\first.mrc (and press Enter)
  8. Anytime mIRC asks if you'd like to run initialization commands, click "Yes".
  9. mIRC may restart once or twice while updating some settings. Then you are ready to go!

Upgrading from a previous version of P&P. (Do not install this over a copy of PnP earlier than 4.00)

  1. Make sure no copies of mIRC are running.
  2. If you like, make a backup of your P&P directory.
  3. Unzip or copy all files into your P&P directory. Make sure you retain the directories, and overwrite any existing files. In WinZip, this option is called "Use folder names". In otherwords, most of the files should overwrite files already in your SCRIPT, ADDONS, and THEMES directories within your P&P directory. If they do not, you did something wrong.
  4. Start P&P.
  5. P&P may restart once or twice while updating some settings. Then you are ready to go!
