Thank you for the client. I use it with great delight.
But Salem is a lonely place and sometimes it is nice with someone to talk to, sometimes I use the irc to get some human contact, but is difficult to follow a discussion when you have to tap out to read and write.
So I ask you if you think it is possible to have the irc in game? and If you are thinking about adding it to you wonderful client?
Best regards Aru
That'd be a sight! I doubt IRC will ever make its way into a custom client, but if it would... Well. That's a happy day for mankind.
Definately be a good thing. Looking around I noticed quite a few java apps/code for implementing IRC inside a java client.
I currently use
Mibbit in firefox, but it constantly diconnnects or have to refresh the page, then change my login name. Very annoying.
Both Ender and BD clients now have custom chat, so adding an IRC channel to this shouldn't be too hard.
Could we see an NPC in Boston in which you could talk to, pops open a trade IRC chat channel? <<Now that I'd like to see honestly and would save people having to stand around a spam the Area Chat in Boston as well as other options like group channels etc.
Which reminds me, one thing that I find annoying is the chat bar. Could we have a ~ hotkey to chat, hit it once and it selects the char line, hit it again and it deselects the chat line?
When someone sends me a message, there is also no flash on the channel in the chatbar to notify you that someone is trying to chat. When they log off the channel is still there, be nice to have a close chat channel icon too.
Another idea in regards to the chat bar at the bottom. Maybe we could hold the ~ and hit TAB to cycle through the channels, so I could jump from System to Area Chat and personal chat or Party chat.
