[6.02] "unable to open file" in gamersirc.grc file

[Tuxman]

Bug:
In a fresh installation of Gamers.IRC 6.02, the following error appears all of a sudden:

* /write: unable to open file 'C:\girc.txt' (line 9834, gamersirc.grc)

This is due to Gamers.IRC's newly introduced check for correct rights for controlling Winamp which may fail if you don't have Winamp installed at all.

Solution:
Open the mIRC script editor (Alt+R) with gamersirc.grc, scroll to line 9833:

Code: Select all

if ($exists($qt(%winamppath))) {

Replace that by:

Code: Select all

if ($len(%winamppath) > 0 && $exists($qt(%winamppath))) {

Status:
Fixed in the next Gamers.IRC version.
