Ircd Webchat Script

Thought i would share with you my progress so far.

I decided to ditch the smileview dll and go with nhtmln dll instead.

Contrary to what some ppl have said, right click on webchat and custom nicklist will show default mirc menus. You will add menu items to the popups area as normal.

Basic theme is in place ( tweaks to follow )

Uses normal echo's to theme ie: echo -a blah is blah / will show in the webchat..

Detects mirc color codes including highlighting in on text as well as echo's

/clear works in all areas

First let me explain why i'm doing this project. Many so called big time scripters seem to look down on projects like this. What they fail or refuse to accept is that this project isn't for experienced irc users wishing to get the full features of irc. This is for those people that enjoy a web like chat with emots and such combined with the added power of access to irc commands. I would not and i do not use this as a script to run a chat room. It is geared more for common chatters. If you are looking for a feature filled script with all the bells and whistles, this isn't going to be something you will be interested in.

I am doing this project because it is what interests me when it comes to scripting. I could spend my time making all the other little gizmos you find in some scripts but to be honest they bore me. I don't use those options personally so i find no joy in making them.

</why>

Now on to the current look ( i say current cause anyone that knows me knows i will change it a hundred times )

AWFUL

never listen to a guy that goes by err0r...

failed!

just kidding...

Anyways, in the query dialog it would be cool to have a 'add to notify' and 'block/ignore' button at the bottom or after name at top.

Also above Nicklist most pple that just chat and wouldnt mind help host a room would prolly like +q -q +v etc buttons.

Also if possible which i dunno i never messed w/ the html dlls... in the same line as the mode change put up a link to swap back mode, like...

* err0r changed mode to +ghey change mode to -ghey

just a few things that would come in handy when pple use a webchatish thingy...

also good luck!

Exactly the reason why I made WebchatZ. So, I know where you are coming from, err0r. It is great to see some competition in this area, lol. Awesome work, by the way.

did you use nhtml for the whispers as well? if not, maybe do so as well?

Are you going to release err0r. Looks Sweeeeeet!

@KD

I like your suggestions for query window. I'll implement them.

As for the buttons for +q etc. All that is in the right click menu like normal mirc. I'm not sure trying to put buttons for all the various modes would look that great.

The mode change link to change back is a nice feature but with chanserv having mode lock i don't think i'll bother with it.

@Warrior

thanks i still have a ways to go and many things to work out but i'm happy with the progress so far

@ TGK

atm the query is using an embedded @window to record queries.. Once i work out all the issues with webchat i'll get the query box using icons as well.

@jagie

My goal is to release this to the public.

yeah i like the look also nice an clean well done

Instead of cluttering the query box with buttons, I'd just stick to using a right click menu, personally.

Looks great, btw

Great err0r. So happy its being released Looks Awesome so far.

Great work keep it up!

err0r has said things would be released before, but lazy gets the best of him.

nah i just can't seem to finish them before something happens to make it so there is no use releasing it lol

lol and IRCd isnt going anywhere, anytime soon so you got about 100+ish years :/ just dont wait till the end

looks great i was doing one but i gave up on it, dll line to long errors and dumb nicknames Lol, i got up to adding font color support and had my nick bold and having away nicks grey, oh and time stamps. i might work on it again one day. but yeah.. show us more updates

Nice error

think i might try making a script again

I hear you re. the time stamps etc. I cant get them to display without having a smilie displaying in it. And yes, I like my nick to be bold and all other users normal. I gave up

Time stamp is optional in mine.. I had it off for the other pics.. Here is one with it on. I don't like the stamp to really stand out so i'm using color code 15.. There is an option to make it whatever color you want.

Ok a little further on.

I have text wrap more in line with the theme spacing.

I have added a whois. I'm not sure i like the style of it though.

Suggestions are welcome

looks good:P umm how are you getting webchat font colors to show up right.. i can only get 1-9 to work, 10-15 wont

2 pretty long aliases lol..
