I figured I'd post this here since it's probably as close to as I'm going to get to the topic... Anyway...

I've been told that Blob is horribly coded (and after looking at it, not up-to-date with the times). So... I'm making an IRC Web Client for Elements. Here's what it looks like so far:



Here's what I plan to support with it:
  • Displaying those fancy images you guys like to link like on Blob
  • Allowing emoticon icons
  • When you /WHOIS an Elements user and they're logged in, show something like this: *[dbdii407] is logged into Elements as dbdii407
  • Notifications (through webkit) when a user pings you, unlike Blob.

And a couple of other things that I probably can't think of at the moment. Tell me what you guys think! :)

This is awesome, Dave. I would have to say their are two huge reasons why Blab is still the official chat: forum integration and ease of use. The latter is solved by the fact that you're making a web client. So there is no download involved or software to learn. However, the forum integration seems very difficult. The user must be locked to one username, that username needs to be registered to the ircd, and the user needs to be automatically authenticated to it if they are logged in to the forums. Additionally, we have to be able to support guests since any chat we host I can cause to become the official pop-up chat on http://elementsthegame.com These are tricky things, but you may have some great solutions.

I've added the command /emoticons. It accepts the parameters on and off. They are off by default.
I've also add the command /clear to... you know... clear the screen.

The font has been resized a bit, the chat now shows the topic and I made the chat scrollable. :)

Thanks! About the pros and cons list, I believe I saw it once! I can't find it though. D:

Added the nicklist. It might not be in order, but it's there! Eventually what I might do is users who are authenticated to their forum username will have their nicks changed to green or something.

My IRC client is always running. My web browser is not. Any chance we can connect to your client without having to leave a browser window open?

I think the channel it's connecting to is the same as the old one, namely #elementsthegame on ext3.net.

Yep. Same network. :)

I have it set now to update the nicklist in a join, part, mode, kick, kill and quit. (I believe that covers it).

It's now in alphabetical order. I can't do both alphabetically and by prefix at the current time. (I dunno how to do that, ha).


I realize that the style of the IRC client is a little bleh and doesn't particually match Elements. If you guys can suggest some color hexs or some fonts from Google Fonts that would be great (Heck, I'll even add in requests for the nicklist prefix icons as well). :)
