Free x chat newswindow 1.0 software for linux

X-Chat NewsWindow is a perl script for X-Chat (or X-Chat Aqua) implements one of those annoying announcer scripts that announce your currently playing audio track in iTunes or your current audio or video track in VLC to your IRC channel because you feel for some reason that everyone wants to know.

I basically consider this script to be a better counterattack than just abusing the annoying mIRC users and getting the usual ignorant "pfft. sif mac" response. Since VLCs meta-data support leaves a bit to be desired, it obtains the album name from the containing folders name and the track name from the filename (minus the extension). This works quite well if you have a well labelled music collection. Note: If you use this script, exercise discretion. Not everyone cares what youre listening to.

To use this, you must first turn on logging in VLC. To do this, open VLCs preferences, and under the "Interface > Control Interfaces" preference page, tick the "File Logging" option. Then under the "Interface > Control Interfaces > Logging" page, enter "/tmp/vlc_log.txt" as the log filename. You can choose a different name or location if you wish, but if you do, change the path definition to it in the vlc_announce function below. You may have to choose the "Add Interface > Debug Logging" menu option (under the VLC menu) if VLC hasnt already turned it on via the preferences change.

MWChat Basic (My Web based Chat) is the free version of our online chat system.

Licenses are IP based, one license per IP.

It has support for multiple rooms and languages, a large number of IRC-like commands, private messages and rooms, message encryption, buddy lists, logging, registered users, chat profiles, file sharing, and more. It is a very lightweight, full-featured, and secure chat room.

Voc is a stream-chat engine which is designed to work on high-loaded chat-servers. It is written in PHP, but uses Perl or C++ for Voc-daemon -- the special program to handle multiple user-connections. With Voc you can make a chat that will serve many conversations simultanously. And its html-based, so your chatters can use it from almost any browser.
The Voc-engine includes a lot of features so it will be interested not only for a big chat owners.
Whats so special about Voc-engine?
There are 2 classes of html-chats. Classic-type, with refreshing messages-window, And stream-type.
Refresh-type is known to everybody, so lets think about streams. What is the common way to introduce such functionality? Webmasters make cgi-script (PHP-script, jsp-srcpt, e.t.c) which checks for new messages every second (2,3...) and prints something to the client. Of course, you need one instance of the script for each client. Now calculate how many data-requests you need to process every second... At least two for each client -- get messages, get users-list.
Also dont forget about memory and CPU usage. For instance, if you have PHP-scripts and PHP is compiled as an Apache-module, be ready to spend 5 Mbytes of memory and 0.1-1% of CPU for each client (only for messages-window).Multiple it to number of users online.
Do you still want to use such scripts?
Is there any solutions? I guess, yes -- try Voodoo chat. It uses Perl- or C++-daemon which processes users-requests to a messages list. And you need just one daemon for all clients. This daemon takes approx. 10 Mbytes of memory for 100 users. CPU usage is also small (of course it depends on your CPU, i.e. for 100 users online it is 0.5% of Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz). Do you see the difference now?
Main features:
- Daemon-stream type (recommended)
- Classic-type (with refreshes)
- PHP-stream script (read text above and use this type only when you have less then 20 simultaneous visitors and cannot use daemon-type)
- JavaScript stream-emulation (refreshing hidden frame which just add text to the main message-window)
- Themes-support. You can use one of exisitng designes, or easily create your own
- rooms
- private messages
- ignoring
- you can enable to use bold, italic, underlined messages
- inline images
- personal info-page with photo for registered users
- avatars
- internal mini-mail system
- status (online/offline/not available/dont disturb)
- web-indicator (see example at the left)
- nick & string highlighing for personal messages
- anti-flood
- messages and ban/unban logging
- limits for maximum number of users and maximum number of users from one ip (anti-nick-flooding)
- graphical statistic, example
- admin-zone to manage the chat
- moderator-levels for registered users, so you can give someone permissions to ban/unban users, change rooms-info, edit/delete registered users

Gyach Enhanced (Gyach-E) and pY! Voice Chat. Gyach Enhanced is currently the most feature-rich Yahoo! client for Linux operating systems.

It is an unofficial fork of the original Gyach, and supports almost all of the features you would expect to find on the official Windows Yahoo! client: Voice chat, webcams, faders, nicknames, audibles, avatars, display images, and more.

Yet, it remains very light-weight and memory-friendly. Gyach Enhanced, pY! Voice Chat, and the Gyach-E Webcam Utilities all use Gtk-2 for their user interfaces (Gtk-2 2.0.6 or better required).

Gyach Enhanced is intended to be a deliberate departure from the growing trend of multi-protocol/multi-platform messaging and chat clients which often suffer from half-baked or non-existent support for major features such as voice, webcams, privacy, security, and spam control, and generally offer slower adoption of new protocol features that Windows users have access to almost immediately with each new Y! Messenger release. Gyach Enhanced is never intended to be a multi-protocol application (i.e., not intended for connecting to MSN, AIM, etc.) as I would rather use a client that handles one messaging system and handles it well, than a client that handles only the basics on several systems.

Gyach-E is about PROGRESS: Being among the first, not the last, to implement support for new features. Lately, Gyach Enhanced has been adopting new features at an alarming rate, as the development has not been bogged down with a need to rewrite/recompile code for Windows and other operating systems or a need to delay the addition of new features for fear of its affects on other protocols plugins. In other words: New features are added quickly because I do not have to worry if something will work on Windows or if the new addition will break MSN support...Gyach Enhanced just worries about Yahoo! on Linux: Thats it. "One protocol, one OS...done well.". Gyach Enhanced is also the first Yahoo application for Linux with support for the vast majority of the new features added to the Windows Y! Messenger 6: Display Images in the PM window, Avatars, Audibles, and Stealth Settings.

While other applications prefer to focus on things such as themeable smileys...Gyach Enhanced is focused on USEFUL features such as webcam support, voice chat, controlling spam (about 75-95% effective), and doing the best it can to prevent you from being booted, bombed, flooded, and stalked. Gyach-E is known to survive tons of different boot codes and is constantly being patched to defend against new ones as I find out about them. For example, when support for Audibles was added to Gyach-E, I also anticipated that people would eventually start using Audibles to flood people and send Audible spam, so I also implemented measures to help defend against these types of abuse.

This is part of the concept behind Gyach-E: Allow the user to enjoy the latest features while containing and minimizing any damage that can be caused by people abusing the new features. The program responds intelligently to boot attacks by temporarily shutting down sound events and dialog boxes to avoid X and sound card-related crashes, controlling the flow of incoming network packets, minimizing CPU usage during an attack, auto-ignoring users as necessary, monitoring and logging suspcious events, and sometimes, even booting the bot/person thats trying to boot you.

Together with pY! Voice Chat, the Gyach-E Webcam utilities, and a few light-weight plugins (including encryption support), Gyach Enhanced is the most advanced, feature-rich Linux client for Yahoo! thus far. It is the first (and, to my knowledge, the ONLY) Linux Y! client that supports both voice chat and webcams (sending and receiving.)

Perl Chat is a project that consists of a client and a server, both written in perl.

The goal of this project is to create a chat server that can be used on smaller networks such as a college campus or a business network.

Both the client and the server are written in Perl, and the client uses the Tk module to generate its GUI.

Installation:

First of all you need a working version of Perl. Preferably 5.6 but 5.005X should also work fine. For versions of Perl Chat < 0.1.0 you will need to compile Perl with Threads. (Keep in mind that Threads are still experimental) I designed this program with Perl 5.6.0 which can be found HERE.

You will need to read the installation instructions to compile it with Threads. I advise anyone who is doing this to install this new version of perl into /usr/local/ so as to not overwrite your old perl. Then by changing the first line of the script you can toggle between the different installs of perl.

wchat is a telnet-based Chat Server written in the C language. It was originally based on chatC code, but then expanded to be a fully functional chat environment. wchat is designed to use minimal cpu or memory resources, and be a modular high-level code base. What this means is all low-level functions are written in separate libraries which wchat uses them.
This allows any additions or changes to the "look and feel" of the chat to be very simple and straight forward. wchat is an extremely stable and solid base from which to build a chat environment around. This is not a web chat, but a telnet chat server usually connected to via clients such as tinyfugue, gmud, CRT, etc.
Main features:
- System configurable network options (listen size, max user, etc.)
- Full ANSI color support
- Multiple chat channels
- Fully configurable handle with color support in handle
- Idle times
- System uptime information
- Basic login information
- message timestamps
- User accounts
- guest, normal, and admin user levels
- /admin command for admins
