Tewl

Luckily it did not come close to my home but some of my friends and family in the downtown Birmingham area were not so lucky. Still waiting to hear from some of them, hoping they are all okay.

For those of you who do not watch the news. Yesterday we had a severe tornado storm here in central Alabama. Found this video someone posted of some close up footage of the twister. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ohIVzIZLuQ&feature=player_embedded

They probably just put together a custom IRC server that doesn't follow the conventions in order to keep people from easily accessing their servers via third party applications. From a business standpoint this is probably just a way of justifying their pay service. What you need to do is get a packet analyzer (Ethereal is a good one) and connect to their servers and see what information their java client is sending to the server in order to initiate the client-server authentication as well as learn their server commands. From their you can put together a script or bot connect to their servers. If you aren't knowledgeable with scripting or programming you could publish the information you find about their servers on the forums and you might get some help from the members here.

Can try something like this ; font $getstyle(1,$1-) ; color $getstyle(2,$1-) ; bold $getstyle(3,$1-) ; italic $getstyle(4,$1-) alias getstyle { var %r $regex(STYLE,$2-,/^##\*#(.*)~#(.*)~(0|1)~(0|1)#\*##/gi) if ($1 == 1) return $regml(STYLE,1) if ($1 == 2) return $regml(STYLE,2) if ($1 == 3) return $regml(STYLE,3) if ($1 == 4) return $regml(STYLE,4) }

looks good

This will open the query raw whisper:*:{ .query $nick .echo -mbflirt $nick $+($nick,11: $3-) .halt } Code for input on *:input:?: { if ($left($1-,1) != /) && ($comchan($active,0) > 0) { .whisper $comchan($active,1) $active $1- .echo -mbflirt $active $+($me,: $1-) .halt } }

XChat and Gaim are linux irc clients

I will no longer be updating information about the client here. Instead I have opened a thread for it on my site which you can get the link in my signature here. I have created an installer for the client as well as set it up to check each time it is opened for updates.

Ok if you have downloaded it between the previous post and this one, please redownload DragonChat. A few issues were found and quickly fixed.

Sorry I missed that. Did you sort it out or still having an issue? BY THE WAY! UPDATE!!!! YES EMOTES! I was going to wait until I finished a few more of new options but what the heck. I felt like showing off what I've been focusing on. So check it out and let me know what you think. The emoticons are not animated, this should change in future versions but for now be happy with this much!

maybe but i really prefer to code for a single server.

Heres a week of the main window. There is still some work to be done with it but I am hoping to be ready for another release by the weekend.

I have started implementing the new textbox into the the client. I started testing on whisper windows first.

STFU - SEE HAR RAWR WAT BLAH SEE MEH! If you dont't get it you are fail LOL

It's nice I guess, but unnecessary to write a socket connection if you aren't going to use CLIENTMODE cd1

So. I haven't made any updates in awhile and I thought I would explain what is going on. I am currently in the process of writting a new textbox control to use as the chat window using WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). This will probably cause some issues for a few people since WPF is currently only supported on operating systems XP and above. Although, I have read rumors that you can get WPF support on Windows 2000 but I cannot be certain how reliable or stable it would be.

The buzzen servers went down for awhile yesterday. Are you still having problems connecting? Make sure your login details are correct by logging into the buzzen page if so. If you are still having issues after that PM me and I will help you individually.

Okay, I will work on adding that sometime this week. -Updated screenshots.

Yes all channels must be written with %# preceeding and replacing spaces with \b I may change this later, I have not decided yet.

Just wanted to bump the thread and let people know I am still working on this! Added a screenshot of the Channel Settings dialog I've created. This will be included in the next release as well as many other additions. Hope to have it ready by early next week.

They display fine in the channel and status windows but the "Dialog controls" do not support multibyte character sets installed or not on your PC.

It doesn't matter what you do, the controls that mIRC uses for it's dialogs do not support unicode sadly.

Got an example of what you are trying to do?

What kind of "text decoder" are you looking for? If you are looking to convert normal text o utf8 mIRC has built in methods for doing that. $utfencode(Tewl™) returns Tewlâ„¢ $utfdecode(Tewlâ„¢,1252) returns Tewl™ 1252 is CONST value for ASNI encoding In addition, you can use $isutf(<some text here>) to check if a line of text is encoded or not. If the text is not encoded a numerical value of 1 is returned. If the text is encoded a numerical value of 2 is returned. Not sure if that was really what you were looking for but either way maybe someone will find it useful.

Apparently, I made an error when I was adding code and forgot to check if the access form was disposed or not. Anyways this is fixed now! Thanks Jen for reporting this one
