* Update Fixed issue where channel would not open if not using chatdrive or when logging in using an admin account. Added alias login to make it easier for users to connect using a different account. If you use this command it will disconnect you. I may later add switch support if users wish to run different accounts in the same clients (ie multiserver). I do occassionally notice errors with the style parser not removing tags when you first joining a room. Generally this is when people send messages as soon as you join which include a lot of style tags such as fadders. I am giving my script out to a few people to use and maybe notice some bugs. When I am certain it is stable enough that I wont embarrass myself releasing it I will post it onmy website for download. When I do post it please do not post it or submit it to any website for download without my consent. For someone who doesn't script anymore I seem to be doing a lot of it lately -.-; On a side note... I have also been working on an IRC client in C# and have been considering creating some type of client (not a mIRC script) for buzzen as well. I do not have a great deal of time to work on these things though, so if anyone would be interested in working together on something like this I would be more than welcome work something out. I do ask however that only serious programmers contact me about this not users just starting out learning. Oh... this doesn't have to be in C#, I can write applications in VB 6 and .Net (2005) as well.

Made a couple changes for error handling. Also changed the regex again, this one seems to work very well. I have been considering posting the entire script for download but I do not have the "features" most users desire. No dialogs or eyecandy addons and limited menu support, BUT my theme is hawt, lol. Ya it's the same theme I used on my last msn script (since it basically just is my msn script altered for buzzen). http://www.tewlzbox.com/script.png

Thanks for replying everyone

* Update - bug I noticed a problem earlier where admin acounts were not sending the profile string so incorrect data format was being sent to the localhost which caused users not to appear in the channel. I changed the JOIN clause to fix this issue. With that in mind this connection can work using either IRCx and ChatDrive protocol. the ChatDriveProtocol is still set on connect "CLIENTMODE cd1" if you wish to change to IRCx just type "CLIENTMODE cd2" or remove the "CLIENTMODE cd1" from the buzzen socket open event before connecting.

First and foremost I would like to credit Chuck for his time and patience in helping answer my questions about the Buzzen server. PLEASE USE THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF MIRC WHEN RUNNING MY CONNECTION! I cannot stress this enough. I have had several people complain to me that they could not get the connection to work. Only to realize later that they were using mIRC 6.2x and there were some issues with sockets. The current version is 6.31 as of today. It is fully Vista compatible and a sharp new look! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I had mentioned in a previous post that I would post this so here is my connection to buzzen as of right now. This connection uses the ChatDrive protocol not the standard IRCx New Thread

First check to make sure your login details are working http://www.flashirc.info/signin.aspx If they are get the md5hash generated by your function and see if it matches the hash that is genenerated from this site below. http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/ Then let me know.

Jeez. Don't any of you read documentation on IRC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1459.txt) Command: USER Parameters: <username> <hostname> <servername> :<realname> You don't really have to give the correct perameters, most IRC servers with do a DNS lookup on you anyway. Most people just send it like this: USER <nickname> <nickname> <nickname> :<some text to identify their script or client> I would send something like this: ' I'm using a VB example since you mentioned a client instead of mIRC strNickname = "Tewl" strEmail = "[email protected]" strPassword = "pasword1234" socket.SendData "AUTHTYPE ircwx1" & vbCrLf ' MD5 is my function for converting a String to a MD5hash socket.SendData "LOGINH " & strEmail & " " MD5(strPassword) & vbCrLF socket.SendData Replace("USER nick nick nick :vb buzzen client","nick",strNickname) & vbCrLf DO NOT PUT YOUR PERSON INFORMATION IN THIS COMMAND! IT IS VISIBLE TO OTHER USERS. In addition, FlashIRC is nothing more than an IRC server with a custom login system. There are a few other differences but nothing that would require a complete rewrite of a parser. As I stated in my earlier reply, they haven't finished working out all the bugs so do expect some errors. I don't check the boards very often so if you have anymore questions or need any other help you can find me on irc.koach.com in #developers

FlashIRC authentication is very simple. On connect send the following data. AUTHTYPE ircwx LOGINH <email you signed up with> <md5hash of the password> USER <blah> <blah> <blah> :<blah> You will have to make some adjustments to the connection to filter out the font information in user's text. There are a lot of issues with this new system right now, you will see this after spending some time connected. My opinion is set yourself up something that is basic until the server is running stable and bug free. Hope this helps ~Tewl

I find it good practice to always WHO [CHANNEL] when I join.

I wasnt asking for help; I was only stating that the buzzen forums are not much help when trying to learn how to write a connection. I might look into vsixc, if it is just another irc server with a webchat interface I am sure I will have little to no interest in staying there. The majority of the fun from msn was the unique authentication method and the fact that it was against tos to be on the service via an irc client. lol Fan, buzzen is nothing to code a connection for. I am aware of v2 coming out but i would rather code a connection now for a few months than spend the entire summer via webchat or using someone elses work when mine is so much better ^.^

I just recently started on buzzen after being on msn for years. I have started working on a connection script looking at other peoples work and testing server responses is a great way to learn the protocol. When I finish mine I will try to remember to post it with comments maybe it will help people learn easier. As far as the buzzen forums, I have found little to no useful information coming from those people. Most people don't know anything at all and the few that do are tight-asses they want to make people use their stuff rather than to teach.
