Free irc chatroom software for linux

Relay-bot is a program we initially wrote because our group of friends that hang out on one channel could never seem to all stay on EFnet, and even if we could EFnet was splitting so badly at the time that it was unusable. However, we couldnt readily switch to another network because not everybody is always online and a few people wanted to stick with EFnet because there were other friends of theirs still there. So, relay-bot was born. It allowed us to split our channel across 2 (actually, 3 or 4) different IRC networks fairly effectively.
You[l need a copy Of Perl since perlay bot is written in Perl. Youll also need a copy of Net::IRC.
Theres currently no real installation routine; just untar the tarball, edit "relay-bot.config" and run "relay-bot.pl".
Enhancements:
- relay-bot.config: Fixed small issue in example config file
- BUGS, relay-bot.pl: Prepping for update to a new release

IRCTree is a project which shows a tree representing the structure of an IRC network in ASCII.

Introduction

IRCTree shows a tree in ascii format representing the structure of an
IRC network.

You need netcat (nc) for it to work.

Example uses

$ irctree irc.swipnet.se

Compiling

No need to compile, but you can copy it into /usr/local/bin with make install.

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.

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.

Wap-IRC gateway allows you to chat on IRC with any WAP-enabled mobile phone. It works by running the server program on a Unix-like system that is accessible over the Internet. It doesnt require phones which have programs written in Java.
I am Tomas Vilda, student studying at University of Vilnius, Lithuania. I started interested in wap when I bought my first wap enabled mobile phone. I searched for the running irc-wap gateway. But with no success. Actually, I found some, but no such, that I make to connect to specified IRC server. Then I found wapirc gateway written by Alan Cox . I tried it on my FreeBSD server. During compilation I got error, because of bad Makefile. So I compiled it by correcting Makefile and ran successful. My mobile is Siemens C55. To start using this wapirc gateway I have to make some modifications. They are listed below.
Enhancements:
- cgi/main():refresh included into main-cgi, saves us .htaccess and external wmlscript
- cgi/write_wml(): fixed bug in linked nicks with ACTIONs and * in there.
- server/parseinput(): Added /me Command for * ACTION in channels
- cgi/write_card(): get refresh timer from config.h
- server/removeallitems(): doing a list cleanup when disconnecting, so we can rejoin after quit without part
- server/print_out(): screenbuffer with latest messages, scrolling top down
- cgi/write_card(): reload on a regular basis, when not typing something in. New formular works on more phones, informative header
- cgi/wml_link()/wml_header(): wml1.2 compatible links/input field for accesskey element
- cgi/write_wml(): new linewise printout, italic makeup, nicks are linked setting defaultvalues for talking on channels and privat.
- cgi/main(): Expire header
- Makefile: make install
