pIRC 0.1

[Psilocybeing]

I've just finished cleaning up a small IRC client for the PSP. It's nowhere near finished yet, as it only handles the ping/connect messages so far(just displays the rest, raw code and all). It can join a specified server/channel, and send messages using p-sprint.

I've submited the file, but it has not shown up yet, so here is a direct link. Enjoy!

Edit: hrm, it seems the censor URLs here.

This will be a brief readme, but it should have everything you need to hear in it.

This is pIRC, an IRC client for the PSP, using the wireless internet connection. It is a hacked together version of danzels 'peldet' Telnet client. Many thanks to him for releasing the source code!

So far, it can connect to a server, join a channel, and send messages to that channel using p-sprint.

You won't be able to send raw commands, so to quit you will have to make do with the power button for now :)

I'll work on tidying up the recieve code, so we can actually SEE what people are saying, instead of all the information the server sends with messages.

INSTALL:

To install, simply copy the correct version to your game folder, and edit the 'config' file to your needs.

<server IP> <server PORT> <nickname> <channel>
example:
193.120.201.111:6667 PsiloPSP #psp
(Quakenet PSP channel)

Enjoy!

SHOOT!
I can't believe I upgraded to 2.5
Sounds cool.

Hey, if you need to process other messages, I can work with you. I worked on the processing of messages before the keyboard input... let me know.

[flmshcky07]

i cant get past the connecting... part....it gos to that and the psp just shuts down after about 15 seconds

[Psilocybeing]

Thanks for the offer Jangie, but I spent many-a-month on IRC projects, so it's not the protocol I'm worried about. It's C behaving that worries me :P.

As for you flmshcky07, download 0.2 that has been uploaded. It should be on the post, on the front page. That fixes a few errors/mistakes :)

[danzel]

yay, bout time someone hacked something up :)

Just a reminder that the peldet code is under GPL, and as this is a derivative work it will need to be under GPL too, sources plz :)

Also, in the newer peldets I've updated the font renderer and such, cleaning up the code a bit which would make it a much nicer codebase to work from.

Danzel.

I'll clean and upload the source now. I'm not used to working with licenses, so sorry :). I'll also take a look at the new peldet, to see if my code is portable :)

[Psilocybeing]

I've just been going through the 0.4 source, and have made all the changes that I made in the first version, and everything seems to be running smoothly. The renderMain function is a godsend , should make scripting easier when I get round to it. I'll have the sources and the updated pbps uploaded in 15m or so.

[Psilocybeing]

I've just sorted out 0.3, although the archive submitted is out of date now, so here is the rar with the most recent changes. Enjoy! (sources included by the way)

arg I can't connect
it quit
$7d

[danzel]

That would be the error code for 'Address not available', not entirely sure if that will help you.
Where did it drop out?

im so clueless about this how can i now the ip or the port=?

[iball®]

While this would be nice to have a "portable IRC display", trying to "real-time" with it would be like masturbating with a cheese grater: slightly amusing, but mostly painful.
(And yes, I do use that phrase a lot..especially at work.)
But it's a neat hack!

[Psilocybeing]

Sadly I agree, but I wanted to get into PSP coding somehow, and making an IRC client seemed like the ideal way :).

I've written a quick HTTP download program also, that will download a specified file from a webserver onto your PSP. File-sharing anyone?

One other idea I had was a portable installer, for all homebrew apps. It would hold URLs of homebrew app zips/rars, and allow you to install them whenever you wanted them with a single click.

Nevar! a psp irc client is awesome :)

I can play games on my computer and have my psp watching irc, and typing wont be that slow, it'll be slightly faster than txting once you get used to it.

Also once the psp keyboard comes out it'll be even better :)

Great piece of software, I havent tried out 0.3b yet, but 0.2 kept crashing on me whenever I tried to send text (not implented yet?). Also, you might want to tune the psprint, so that you could see what to press for what letter, since I haven't used that input method before.

[Novalok]

i always get connection failed or something then $ffffffffff and it quits :/ whats wrong

[cvs2fan]

im having that problem can anybody help us....=? :Cry:

can i see ur config file =?

216.193.223.223 6667 mynicklol #test

Thats an efnet server.

in 0.3 when you are connected any text you enter is sent as a message, and if you send an empty line it sends 'quit' to disconnect from the server.

Danzel.

Edit: also, when posting an error from the wifi, the $ffffffff isnt the important number, the other smaller one is alot more meaningful. thanks :)

[cvs2fan]

thanks alot now i can conect however after a few seconds it disconects and close the aplication and i dont ssend any empty line and i cant see any other users

[danzel]

The client doesnt print out what users are in the channel, it only prints out when someone says something in the channel.

[cvs2fan]

all right i got it and thanks a lot for the help but why do i disconect afeter a few seconds of being conected=?

[danzel]

I dont know, what servers do you get disconnected on?
I haven't had any trouble with getting disconnected after a few seconds.

[cvs2fan]

i think is not the server but my modem cuz when i conect in a hot spot i dont disconect i cant see any message either but i dont disconect ^^U

(of course i can see my own messages but either nobody writes anything or just can see what evryones is typing)
