IRC UDF - Updated Version of Chips' IRC UDF - Release: V1.22 - 09/06/2016 - Technical Writer Needed!

[rcmaehl]

Since I've started a sit down job I've had more free time to develop this UDF and will continue to do so, however the only downside to this is I will be unable to test the scripts as IRC is blocked in the internal network. As such my next few updates with mainly be additions for stuff like CTCP, SASL, DCC, and other non-essential IRC add-ons.

Why not run a local IRC server/daemon?

4GB of RAM and OS + Work software uses about 3.4GB. Work bought what they needed and no more. Plus it's probably in our employee handbook somewhere judging by the fact it's a huge fortune 500 tech company.

That is bad, I have 6 GB of RAM and most of time, its not used .

Hi rcmaehl,

First off, thank you very much for sharing this. Very awesome. I am using it to connect to twitch chat servers. It did not take me long to figure out and get connected. I am struggling a bit now though and would appreciate some insight. 

Although I am connected and can send messages to the channel, I am not able to capture any output from the channel beyond the initial connection stuff. In other words, I want to see all the chat, joins, parts etc so that I can react off that content. 

 

; Receive Data
    $sRecv = _IRCGetMsg($sock)

    ; If Error Getting Data
    If @error Then

        ; Display Message on Error
        ConsoleWrite("Recv Error: " & @error & " Extended: " & @extended & @CRLF)

        ; Shutdown Networking
        TCPShutdown()

        ; Exit with Error
        Exit 1

        ; Otherwise, If No Data
    ElseIf Not $sRecv Then
        ; Continue Checking
    EndIf

Twitch uses a modified version of IRC... not the regular version which IRC Chat Networks use! You might have to modify your script to be compatible with Twitch.

You can refer to this document: https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/IRC.md

@TheDcoder slammin, thank you very much for that pointer. I had seen some of the twitch docs but not that one. Most helpful.

I have tried to document stuff in HTML but it is a pain in the butt and not easy to maintain. I have switched to AsciiDoc which is far more easier to maintain and you can convert it to HTML, PDF, ePub etc .

I use AsciiDoctor (implementation of AsciiDoctor in Ruby) to convert/compile my AsciiDoc document into a neat HTML file

Interesting! Do you know if it's possible to style the Help File into a style similar to AutoIt's current help documentation? I'm trying not to stray too far from the current help file format.

[TheDcoder]

@rcmaehl I think you can use custom CSS to make the formatting similar to AutoIt's Help File... albeit, it will only work for the HTML output.

I wish I could give you some links but I am myself a little confused about how custom styles work, best consult the documentation.

[mLipok]

If I remember well here on the forum, there was a script to convert UDF FunctionHeaders  >>> TXT  >>> HTML >>> CHM.

 

[TheDcoder]

Yes, I also remember something like that in the source code for the help file I think, let me search for it.

[TheDcoder]

Bingo, found the scripts and source code for the help file! You can download them from here: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-docs-v3.3.15.0-src.zip

If you extract the zip and go to docs -> _build you can find the scripts used for building the help file

[mLipok]

As far as I know this is only   TXT  >>> HTML >>> CHM

You should also looking for  UDF FunctionHeaders  >>> TXT

If I good remember this was @AZJIO or @jaberwacky project, but I could be wrong.

Hmm... I have no idea where to find that

[jaberwacky]

must have been someone else.  Closest thing I can think of is a project that converts the autoit helpfile into wikitext.
