You should learn more about using #include

In your case you should use: 

#include "IRCConstants.au3"

instead: 

#include <IRCConstants.au3>

UDFs shouldn't use MsgBox() to report errors, this is down to the developer to decide. You have quite a bit of work to do before calling this a UDF.

Here is little refactored function:
  

Func _IRCChannelInvite($_vIRC, $_sUser, $_sChannel)
    Select ;Parameter Checking, Trust No One
        Case $_vIRC = ""
            Return SetError(1, 1, 0)
        Case $_vIRC = -1
            Return SetError(1, 2, 0)
        Case $_sUser = ""
            Return SetError(2, 1, 0)
        Case StringInStr($_sUser, " ")
            Return SetError(2, 2, 0)
        Case $_sChannel = ""
            Return SetError(3, 1, 0)
        Case Not $_sChannel = ""
            Switch AscW(StringLeft($_sChannel, 1))
                Case Not 33 And Not 35 And Not 38 And Not 43
                    Return SetError(3, 2, 0)
            EndSwitch
        Case StringInStr($_sChannel, " ")
            Return SetError(3, 2, 0)
    EndSelect
    
    TCPSend($_vIRC, "INVITE " & $_sUser & " " & $_sChannel & @CRLF)
    If @error Then Return SetError(4, @error & @extended, 0)

    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_IRCChannelInvite
Func _IRCChannelJoin($_vIRC, $_sChannels, $_sKeys = "")
    Select ;Parameter Checking, Trust No One
        Case $_vIRC = ""
            Return SetError(1, 1, 0)
        Case $_vIRC = -1
            Return SetError(1, 2, 0)
        Case $_sChannels = ""
            Return SetError(2, 1, 0)
        Case StringInStr($_sChannels, " ")
            Return SetError(2, 2, 0)
    EndSelect

    If Not $_sKeys = "" Then $_sKeys = " " & $_sKeys
    TCPSend($_vIRC, "JOIN " & $_sChannels & $_sKeys & @CRLF)
    If @error Then Return SetError(3, @error & @extended, 0)
    
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_IRCChannelJoin

Try to refactor the other ones.

 

 

Why you are using @error & @extended ? 

If @error Then Return SetError(3, @error & @extended, 0)

This is strange to me.

This is strange also because TCPSend not setting @extended (according to HelpFile).

I've been using both to try to future proof anyone having errors with my functions. I originally had tried @error & " - " & @extended but SetError strips out non-numerals. Will add code improvements by tomorrow (Sunday EST time)

My UDFs are generally for me. If they aren't updated for a while, it means I'm not using them myself. As soon as I start using them again, they'll get updated.

You'll have to forgive the double reply, the mobile AutoIt forums aren't as friendly as I'd like. Anyway, I originally had it that way but tried to future proof it towards inclusion into AutoIt. Hence, the install instructions on the GitHub.

Ah, yes, @error and @extended can only be numbers, something which I recently learned :P.

Current UDF function returns are based off

I might revert them as they'd give a slight performance improvement by returning the script from the function a little earlier.

@Mat answer is 3,5 year old.
I'm curious what he think now about this old answer, and about my statement:

This is true.
But this is also easier to understand the code. You do not must go throught entire function code to see whats happend next.
Also debuging is much easier as you do not must to check if any other function line not changing @error @extended

Looking for feedback

Survey: What data would you like to see returned when a function is successful?

Well... All 3 votes for " The number of bytes sent" :P

I'm actually kinda relieved, It's the easiest to implement, but I'll be leaving the poll up for another week or two.

Yep, slightly more difficult because of having to deal with adding more error checking.

Will be removing the poll on the 7th. Current results are 4 for Number of bytes sent, zilch everything else. I've drafted an update version of this UDFs and put it on a separate branch on github. If it's still the leader on the 7th I'll merge the branch.

 

Also upcoming is proper message length limitations (360 characters) after setting the maximum length of the values the receiver would see, based on this article plus RFC2812 commands. I'm working on improving calculations of this function to allow slightly longer messages based if the length of those values is at the maximum or not.
