Free irc software for linux

Irc-Scroller is a Web script that parses different IRC log formats, and dynamically displays them as Web pages, updating almost in real time.

The log formats used by eggdrop, mirc, irssi, and a custom database are currently supported.

CGI:IRC is a Perl/CGI program that allows you to use IRC from a Web browser without having to have access to an IRC port.

CGI:IRC does not use Java, but it does need a browser capable of rendering frames. It can be used on a Web page to allow users to chat, or it can be used to access chat from behind a firewall.

IRCBotNET is a Botnet. It is a network of IRC bots that communicate with one another. They share a means of communication whereby all bots speak to one another and exchange information. They are useful for keeping and maintaining a channel by acting as a group of channel bots that work together with a common goal.

Say, for instance, you have one IRC bot keeping a channel and a netsplit occurs or the bot dies for some reason. Immediately the channel becomes chaotic and anarchic without an IRC bot keeping the peace. With a Botnet, even if an IRC bot dies, here still remains the rest of the bots on the Botnet to continue maintaining the channel and the loss of the one bot means nothing as the other bots do its exact same job.

BotNET is an extremely powerful IRC BOT and has many features.
BotNET doesnt necessarily have to run as a Botnet, it can run as a normal IRC bot and in fact does this by default. It has a massive collection of functions that can be seen in the BotNET man pages. When run as a Botnet, BotNET has supreme capabilities that have never been attempted before in Botnets. When a BotNET bot is run in Botnet mode, it connects to a BotNET Communication Stream Server (botserv) that is included in this package.

It uses this server to communicate with the other bots on the Botnet. The difference here is that not only can it do whatever any other Botnet can do, but it also uses this stream of communication with its added IRC Stand-alone bot functionality. For instance, if you add a user to the bot, immediately, all other bots connected to the database add this user to their local databases and a global-wide Botnet database is maintained. So you can use any one of the bots on the Botnets for anything that you so desire. This powerful feature makes BotNET very predominant over other Botnets.

Methane IRC Daemon is an advanced ircd based on Bahamut 1.4.35.

It sports dynamic config, host masking, advanced user modes, channel admins, and half-operators.

The project also has SETHOST/SETIDENT/SETNAME as well as CHGHOST/CHGNAME/CHGIDENT.

IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot.

It consists of a Java chess server, with frontend scripts to convert an IRC client into a chess bot. Players then communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands, and dont require any special software to play.

Frontend scripts are available for IRSSI and X-Chat.

The client is merely responsible for interpreting this data and displaying it. In this way, porting the system to a variety of IRC clients is very simple, since
the client script will be short, and effectively contain no code specific to the game being played.

In other words, the Java part is smart. The script is dumb and is just there to make things look pretty.

This idea works. Currently, client scripts have been designed for RSSI and XChat. Since both these programs use Perl for scripting, the scripts are practically identical, with a few client specific modifications.

Porting this script to other IRC clients shouldnt be too much of a hassle, since its just the frontend thats ported, not the chess game itself. Anyone wanting to create frontend scripts for other IRC clients, please feel free to do so.

The PROTOCOL file describes exactly what needs to be done.

F-IRC provides a console IRC client.
F-IRC is an IRC client for the console. It supports multiple servers, scrollback, and all the basic features one can expect from an IRC client.
When F-IRC is started, youll see a list of channels and servers on the right.
The box around these is inverted. That means that if you use the left- and the
right cursor, they will work on the channels etc. If you press ^n, the box will
no longer be inverted and you can use the cursor keys for editting what youre typing.
If the channel-box is selected, press key right on a channel to get a list of
people in that channel. Press key left to exit this (and return to the list of
channels) or press key right on a name to get a menu via which you can kick
and ban people as well as get information on them. Press left on a server to
hide all the channels for that server, press right to unhide all channels.
Press cursor right on a channel to enter that channel. If theres a star in
front of channelname, someone wrote something in that channel. Press ^w to
jump directly to the next channel in which someone wrote something.
Enhancements:
- The cursor is finally visible in the edit-line.
- The program now runs on 64-bit platforms as well.
