KVIrc - IRC Client

Here is a newer one,
this one. I suggest u try both to see which works better.

ppl should give it a shot!! I got it tonight and Im really liking it so far. I really like the avatar feature and the thousand others.

# User interface

    * MDI floatable windows
    * Built-in help browser
    * Themes support (all configurable by GUI or scripting)

    * Drag & Drop toolbar editing
    * Activity Notifier Pop-Up
    * Status bar with Applet support
    * Unread text mark
    * 14 Languages Translations

    * Full IPv6 support (also for DCC transfers)
    * SSL support (also over IPv6)
    * Micryption support


# Core

    * Modular architecture: unfrequently used features reside in external modules and are loaded only when necessary
    * Extensibility: a huge API for writing extension modules
    * UNICODE support


# IRC

    * Multiserver connection
    * Notify lists (yes, WATCH is supported)
    * Ignore lists
    * Registered users database
    * Lag meter
    * Configurable logging

    * Built-in scripting language interpreter
          o scalars, arrays and hashes..
          o aliases
          o popups
          o events
          o scriptable toolbars
          o Perl support
          o Ability to translate scripts (by the means of the tr() function)
          o ...


# Objects support in scripting language: yes , now you can do OOP


You can customize the hell out of it.




Mostly default except for the background.

Seriously though, you should try it out.
If anyone tries it, snoop around in the preferences to check out all the features.

Ya i tryed it out and so have you for all the trouble that we went through its VERY pointless to use.  unless you like agervation in order to get non working DCC and a avatar only few people will see.

yes i agree. I cannot endorse it after all the problems we had. therefore i will offer something to make up for it. a truely useful application that has already changed the world for the better.

Go get it and never be late again!

Works like a champ.

I think mIRC looks and feels pretty good. Is there really anything in this new client that I need that's not on mIRC?

There is avatars that can only be seen by whom ever uses that client. and thats just about it Alot of the other SUPPOSED features are either busted or werent incorperated and you get a nice error message telling you such.  Its really to problematic to mess with.

Stick with MIRC its simple and easy.

Personally i think KVIRC was made by a bunch of Linux Monkeys that dont want to fix things or update there site.

yea i spoke to one of the dev's last night personally and he's aware that the site download links to a 3 year old build. the latest builds crash constantly for me and nobody seems interested in helping. personally i find it a bit easier than my first experiences with mirc and i like some of the features. but its got just a couple nagging problems with stuff i use so often that they seem like bigger problems. im still giving it a shot and looking for fixes. i might just be doing things wrong.
