Forums Developers xM-IRCd, An IRCd in mIRC Script

Awgh, crap. You are way ahead of me in scripting and usefulness!

Why would you do that ?

i don't see any point of making an IRCD in mIRC Script, so why are doing it ??

I can think of a few reasons why someone would:
Better their scripting abilities
The thought of writing a 'irc server' could make you feel good about yourself in some weird way
Writing a IRCd and having what you want in it, nothing more nothing less

basicer is far ahead of me as well.. I haven't worked on it much since i started.. I don't think I want to bother anyways... I like Unreal.. It would be hard to get all of its features .. well .. it would take a long time.

Sounds like an intresting project. A friend of mine created his bot with sockets, it sort of had its own little "socket" server login area... sort of IRCdish... I dont see quite how the IRCd would fully run though? Just boot up with mIRC? would it be able to support users and modes... and things of that nature.. I'd assume services would be compleatly out of question.. (no offence to mIRC since i love it.. but... we all know that Windows IRCd's arnt the stable :P except maybe Unreal who has a "Stable" windows version. )

Actually, somebody called Ltsurge (Or something similar to that) wrote a pretty decent ircd in mIRC script.
It supported users, modes, etc. and seemed to be pretty fast.

I wrote it to test scripts on. It makes things alot easier when you can see exactly what the server is getting, and tweek the flood settings. Also my server has something called attackserv with can emulate clone floods and things like that. It seems to have turned into a contest between me and Talon on who can write the best IRCd, and we plan to make them linkable using the same protocol. Its just kinda cool to think that a client is so powerfull you can code the server in it.

Ah, it was Ltsurge that sent it to me and I just assumed he'd wrote it.
My mistake.

If anyone wants to see my script in action, I usualy have my developement snapshot server runnin on: 66.227.254.57:6667 Feel free to drop in and test things out. If you find a bug, it would be great if you could tell me about it!
