<('_')> The Latest And Not So Latest

Well, 64Digits has gotten attacked multiple times lately, but a few users, which are banned now. Arcalyth has left 64Digits. The bbcode system is back up and running after DesertFox did most of the work on a new system to fix some exploits. The 64Digits Irc chat is just about dead, last time I got on it, the only other user that was on was, I think, Phazon Yoshi. Why has everyone left the 64Digits Irc chat?

I have been working on my own irc client. The basic code is based off of an irc bot that I found on the Game Maker Community from last year, but I have messed with that code to make it work with my client, added some stuff, made a chat drawing parser to make stuff look better (including coloring certain messages, and removing all of the junk that comes along with the users nickname, like the host mask). I put it onto the gui I made for it. Added some commands to it like /msg, /ns, /cs, /qmsg, and /nick. It is actually pretty powerful for an irc client made in Game Maker, and it has a nice graphical users interface.

Since 64Digits's irc chat is kind of dead, I have been logging on the Game Maker Games irc chat lately…the crowd is different from the 64Digit chat, but this is prossibly because very few of them know who I am. I have seen Karios and Cakeboy on it though, actually, Karios gets on it quite frequently.

I was in Florida from Saturday last weekend to Wedsenday. It was pretty fun, we went on the boat out into the gulf and fished. I cought a few grouper and stuff. I am over at my grandparents house for dinner, buy only my grandma is here right now.

I have a couple questions about the irc protocol. First, what is the best way to distinguish a normal channel message from a true private message, since they both use the PRIVMSG command? Another, what is an example of the reply for a NAMES command? And, what is the best way to distinguish a message from the server between something I don't want to display, and something like a MOTD message.

That is about it, I guess that this is a decent sized blog for me. Later everyone.

motd messages are always prefixed with their raw code, which i believe is 361. look up irc raw codes.
