Old RAM show wrong info, new dll fix this #19

Closed turbosmurfen closed 1 year ago

turbosmurfen commented 2 years ago

A friend to me have been asking to fix the RAM information for a long time. Now I have fixed this with the DLL-File and scripts changes. What I have heard doesn't nbs-irc no longer work because it's only using 32bit reading.

Did you patch the MemUsage.dll or was there a newer version available somewhere?

turbosmurfen commented 2 years ago

I created MemUsage.dll to use a way to detect RAM usage/total and percent. The darkenginex.dll was showing wrong information. Because someone in nbs-irc channel said it didn't support 64bit OS.

Then there is a bad side that the dll I made works only for Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x86/32bit. Which only supports from Windows Vista and higher. So people that use the new dll and using less than Windows Vista wouldn't be able to use this.

Edit: Maybe there is possible to detect OS version in mIRC and use the old DLL for OS lower than Windows vista.

Edit 2: Here is an example:

Echo out darkenginex.dll with old information //echo -a Memory usage: $+($dedll(usedphysicalmem),/,$dedll(totalphysicalmem)) MB ( $+ $dedll(memoryload) $+ )

Memory usage: 1/2048 MB (32%)

Echo out MemUsage.dll with updated information //echo -a Memory usage: $+($mudll(usedphysicalmem),/,$mudll(totalphysicalmem)) MB ( $+ $mudll(memoryload) $+ % $+ )

Memory usage: 5313/16300 MB (32%)

With even Windows 7 end of life for over a year I don't have any issue that's not working on even older Windows versions. I'll check it out and merge, thanks.

The DLL works for Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, 11. I use Windows 11 and it works great for me. But the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x86/32bit need to be installed to be able to use the DLL.
