  • Adding IRC support to Mystic

    From TALIADON@21:3/138 to All on Mon Jan 3 12:05:02 2022
    Hi all,

    I'm looking to add IRC/chat support to my board, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best mod to use?

    The following python based solution looks promising:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/mystic-relay-chat/

    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    MRC is the one most boards use. It has been around a long time. I believe it connects only to a custom MRC server, not to random IRC servers

    For myself I wanted to be able to join random or my own IRC servers. So I
    wrote iChat. Actually I am about to release version 2.1 which has all small issues ironed out.

    You can check it out at bbs.opicron.eu.

    L8ers,
    oP!

    I was specifically looking for a client which would connect to The Bottomless Abyss Meetups chat. Having used my razor sharp, ney, Holmes-like deductive skills, I figured StackFault would probably host said client via his files section. Needless to say he does, and it was an absolute doddle to setup.

    That said however, I am certainly interested in a more generic IRC solution;
    I shall take a look at the URL you kindly provided.

    Error is a great teacher; humility is the hardest lesson.
