                     proudly presents

                     Lag-O-Meter 1.1


[INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS]
Extract the following files to your mIRC directory:
    lagdtech.mrc
    laggie.lag
    lag-help.txt
When they are there, run mIRC if you haven't done so yet
and type:
    /load -rs lagdtech.mrc
You will want to hit yes when you are prompted after
loading the addon.

*WARNING* This addon is designed for mIRC32 5.1 and 
          above. This addon will not load in mIRC 5.02
          and below. It also seems to crash 5.02 rather
          quickly.

Features are explained in the section entitled
Explanation. (Or if you look really hard, it's right 
under this)

[EXPLANATION]
Hello! My name is Rew and this is my addon. This addon
presents your lag in a window with graphical
representation of the level of it. Everything is pretty
straight forward and it is made to be userfriendly.
Basically, it just sits there and tells you how lagged
you are, not too much work on your part. You can turn
the Lag-O-Meter off either by closing the window or
through an added option on both the Menubar and Status 
popups. It can be turned back on either through the
popups or by disconnecting from the server and 
reconnecting(I suggest the first one). To turn off the
Auto-Initialization feature, turn it off with the
popups. You may adjust the position of the box and it
will save the settings for later use. If you would like
to change the placement of the box because you changed 
the resolution, you may do so under the third option.
If you would like to center the box, just click on the
fourth option in the popups.

[NOTES]
This addon is provided as is. If someone changes the 
code and suddenly everything goes wacko on you, I shall
not claim responsibility. Talk to the butt monkey who
changed the code.
This addon does not work with some popular scripts. Why
wouldn't it? Some of the creators of these scripts want
to dominate the users' use of addons. Sometimes the
addons must be written in a specific way just for the
script to even work with it. Some of you may ask why
not just write the addon in that specific format. My 
answer is this. I do not condone any attempts to 
monopolize the scripting world. That's it.
If you would like to change the levels of each bar, just
open up laggie.lag and change the value of each bar 
number. If you do not put them in ascending order, it
will only report the first bars which are under the
lag time. You may also set them for certain networks.
Only the last two portions of the server's name should
be in the header. Ex:

[Dal.net]
checker=Available
1=1
2=1500
3=....

This should go up to 15. No more, no less. The values
should be in ascending order in milliseconds. The first
value shall be always made into 1. Why? This is my 
addon. If you want to change it, edit the code.

[PHILOSOPHIES]

[WHERE ONE CAN GET A HOLD OF ME]
irc.cobra.net in #Scripters often. Occasionally will you
find me on NewNet. Rarely will you find me on DalNet.
Only about twice a year will you find me on UnderNet.
Never will you find me on EfNet.

[FAQ]
Q: Why doesn't the lag-o-meter ever update?
A: The lag-o-meter updates 10 seconds after it gets a
   message. You must also consider how lagged you are.
   If you have a lag of 125.764 secs, it won't update
   anytime soon. The last suggestion is to make sure
   that ctcp's are on and that there is no code which
   filters all ctcp's.

Q: What is the meaning of life?
A: IRC; more specifically, scripting for mIRC

Q: Where can I get your autobiography?
A: The general area of Earth.

Q: What's pIRCh?
A: A pile of crap. Only those of an inferior 
   intelligence use pIRCh. 

Q: What's the thing you hate most?
A: When you're sitting in a channel and you see
   something sort of like:

 : .  <))))><  : .   : .  Anything mIRC Can Do...   .  :.
 . .  :   : .  pIRCH Can Do Better !   .  :
 : .    .  <))))>< And mIRC Can't Swim.....   .   .    .    .    .   : . 
  : .  .     .    .  : .  
 
                         or
 
              ..::: :::.:.:::.
           :. mIRC :.:. :
         :. is ..:::
       :. a ..::::::
     :. four ..::: :.
   :. letter ..::: :::.
 :. WORD!!! ..::: ::
:. :.:. ::
<))))><   PIRCH Rules! mIRC Drools!

   First of all, what the hell is this? mIRC can't swim?
   No shit! Last time I checked mIRC was a program. Most
   programs do not retain the ability to swim. The same
   goes forth for pIRCh. Also, I do acknowlege that mIRC
   is a four letter word. Like the other four letter 
   words, people use it very much. PIRCH people, you can
   take your little pIRCh client down to the pier and
   let it hang around with the other fish that stink.
   hehehe

Q: Are there any serious questions in this FAQ.
A: Depends on what you consider serious.

Q: Are you human?
A: Sometimes

Q: How do I know when my someone is calling me at my 
   house?
A: Mr. Telephone goes *ring* *ring*

Q: What's that ringing sound?
A: Mr. Telephone

Q: Do you believe in the existence of God or are you an
   atheist?
A: Yes

Q: How do I turn on the computer?
A: Let me ask you a question. If you don't know how to
   turn on your computer, how can you be reading this?

Q: Does this FAQ have a point?
A: Yes

Q: Is that all?
A: Yep

 minutes to update the lag-o-meter
-Now has a feature that allows you to center the window
 whenever you want

 change the resolution
-When you move the window, the settings are saved when
 the Lag-O-Meter is updated
-Added an anti-load feature against loading into 
 mIRC 5.02 or earlier. Tends to crash the earlier
