Multi Browser, by Arron, was put together to give people a way to browse for multiple games with one browser in mIRC.
Supported Games: Quake 3 Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Soldier of Fortune II, Jedi Knight II,
Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Half Life, Unreal Tournament, and Unreal Tournament 2003.
This script retrieves status from game servers and game server lists from the master servers.
Medal of Honor master server listing is not supported. From what I can tell, GameSpy maintains
that amster server and they will not allow public access to their master servers so I can't get
a server listing for MOHAA.
You can search through your saved servers for specific things you want on a server.
It also has Remote Console (rcon), for all you server admins out there.
Rcon is not supported with UT or UT2K3 because those games are designed to use a web based rcon.
Even though I could Use mIRC to get the server info from the master servers I like to use QStat to do it.
This enables mIRC to be used during the Master Server list retrieval. If QStat got server lsits for
Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003 I would use it for those as well, but it doesn't, so those
two games are the only ones that don't use QStat to get a master server list.
Send and bug reports or feature requests to multi_browser@multibrowser.org
At the end of the file is a section listing entries for the Quake 3 engine game's autoexec.cfg files.
************************************
******** UPGRADING THE SCRIPT ******
************************************
Simply unzip the files into your mIRC directory and issue the load command in mIRC.
/load -rs multi\multi.mrc
If you are using mIRC Power Pack:
Unzip the files to a temporary folder.
Then copy all the files with the folders intact to the system\multibrowser\ folder
then issue the load command
/load -rs system\multibrowser\multi.mrc
************************************
******** LOADING THE SCRIPT ********
************************************
To LOAD, unzip the files into your mIRC directory.
It will create a multi folder and the files will be in there.
enter the following command at the mIRC command line:
/load -rs multi\multi.mrc
Answer yes if asked if you want to run the initialization commands.
*** If you are using mIRC Power Pack: ***
Unzip the files to a temporary folder.
Then copy all the files with the folders intact to the system\multibrowser\ folder
then issue the load command
/load -rs system\multibrowser\multi.mrc
Answer yes if asked if you want to run the initialization commands.
The first thing you need to do after installing this is to tell Multi Browser
where your games are installed. To do this start up the browser and go to the
settings tab. Select the Game Locations section and beside the game location for
each game you have hit the browse button and tell the browser where the game
executable is. When you hit the browse button a box appears, at the top left
of the box is the name of the executable you are looking for. When you navigate
to the game's folder click on the executable and hit the Open button. Now you
are free to go through the rest of the settings sections or use the browser.
Visit the Multi Browser website for detailed instructions on the use and settings.

***New with version 1.39:***
Fixed a bug that showed up with mirc 6.12 that caused the server lists to be displaye incorrectly.
Added an upgrade feature to the Version Check. If a newer version is found you will have the option to let
the autoupdater download and install the new version. By default the Version Checker will check for a new
version of Multi Browser at mIRC startup. You can disable this option on the Settins/General tab.
***New with version 1.38.3:***
When I made some changes to Multi Browser to help it run quicker I tried to think of everything I would
need to change that the sped up version would effect. I got most of the stuff, but I missed a few things.
This version is a fix to all those bugs I have found or been told about. No new stuff added.
***New with version 1.38.1:***
Added the ability to remove the "Scorebot Report:" header from the Scorebot report.
Added the option to have the Scorebot report only when the score changes.
Mostly minor bug fixes in this version.
***New with version 1.38:***
Added an Auto Refresh button. The refresh duration is set on the settings tab.
Added a Scorebot that is accessed from the Browse tab.
Added a Help tab to assist in users understanding of Multi Browser.
Added the game Jedi Knight Jedi Academy (not a lot of testing done on this game).
Added the option (on by default) to automatically go to the Multi Browser web site and download a map
picture you don't have when you refresh a server so the picture is there the next time the server is
refreshed. Only gets map pics that are actually on the web site.
***New with version 1.37:***
Added a sort option to the search tab.
Fixed a couple of bugs with searching.
***New with version 1.36.1:***
Fixed some bugs affecting the deletion of servers.

Added a favorites list for each game. The favorites list can be configured and edited on the settings tab.
Added some extra pictures for windows xp users that will allow the settings tab's Category menu bar color to be matched to the main windows xp themes. Set this on the settings tab/color settings.
Added a feature to hopefully minimize the channel flood protections that happen when someone does an !autoping, ?mb, ?q3, etc.. This does not need configuring.
***New with version 1.35:***
Added multi network suport so you can limit connecitons to only certain networks and include or exclude channels. If the servers are not edited it defaults to only use EnterTheGame.com and QuakeNet.org servers.
Added the query ?mb to the browser so if you have the query response enabled and the browser sees that query in a channel it will respond no matter what game you are playing. Any other query is game specific, even user added queries.
Fixed the bug that would not report the connection/return message to all networks.
Set the browser to delete your game server connection info when you exit mIRC so it won't report you as in game when you reconnect.
***New with version 1.34:***
Added Gamespy 3D connection support for all supported games, it used to unly support Half Life.
Fixed the bug that would bring up the connection reminder box when connecting to a game external from the browser.
Fixed the bug away message bug that would not send the entire away message to the irc server.
***New with version 1.33:***
Fixed the bug that didn't change your nick on all the servers you are connected to. It now changes to/from your gaming nick on all servers, if you have that option enabled.
Added the ability to save a nick for Enemy Territory (forgot to do that when i added the game :-) .. )
Added an option on the Settings/General tab to check for a newer version of Multi Browser.
***New with version 1.32:***
Added the ability to select the Half Life Master Server when requesting a server list.
Added a help file for the Master Server tab that is accessed on the Master Server tab.
Fixed the browser to set you away on all your connections. (If you use another away system the away command is still sent to that away system, not handled by Multi Browser.)
The amount of servers shown on the Master Server tab is now diplayed.
The Master Serever and Search tabs will now remember which type of game you last used and will bring that back up when you next open the browser.
***New with version 1.31:***

Fixed the bug that wouldn't allow the script to respond when ?et was typed in a channel.

Added support for Battlefield 1942.
Added a feature called "Keywords" that allows you to connect to a server from the mIRC command line.
The browser will now keep the focus on the server list window after refreshing a server so the mouse wheel can still be used without having to click the window again (I found having to click on the server list again annoying).
***New with version 1.28:***
A feature to clean up the server files. A way to add your own channel responses for the script to watch for.

I think I found all the little typos and bugs in the script. And I added a little popup so you can set yourself back from gaming without having to type in a channel.
***New with version 1.21.5beta:***
Added ping times to the Master Server list, improved the performance of the master server list refresh,

****Autoexec.cfg file entries****
The following setting lists are for you to enter into your Quake 3, RTCW, SOF2, and/or JK2 configurations so that this script will be able to tell when you connect to a game. Even if you start the game from outside of the browser it will be able to tell, if you have enabled it in on the settings tab by setting a server connection check time, and will perform the appropriate actions you have set the script to do (like mark you away and post a message in IRC telling others where you are).
