MSL (mIRC Scripting Engine)¶

1. It can handle consecutive spaces. Check $msgx, $rawmsgx and /rawx;

3. On KeyDown/KeyUp events works in any window, making possible to override default hotkeys;
4. Var size unlimited, don't need to appeal to bvars for most scripts;
5. Faster scripting engine, benchmark both client to compare;
6. Expanding the MSL language with extra identifiers/commands and parameters;
7. Multiples and simultaneous sounds in scripts? Seems to works very well, since it uses the Windows Media Player Api;
8. In addition to /remote [on|off] it has /scripts [on|off] to toggle Scripts entirely.
