GroupChat Beta is released!

[Deleted_screen]

GroupChat is another chatting software, including channels, groups, bots and an uncrashable server. It's faster then most other chatting softwares, and has a shiny design.

This beta release does only have one server, read the instructions that pops-up inside the software when you start it

Please help us making it better, by downloading it and testing it and sending in bugs to us.

1. Basiclly everything, even the interface.
2. We built spambots and floodbots and used them all at the same time, and the server didn't crash. (It lagged, but it didn't crash.) (Also note, the client might crash, but the server can't somehow.)
3. Yes it supports file transfers, but i don't know if it's in this release.

Yes, the other programmer i work with was using that theme for XP, so it's actually XP.

The picture is also very old, since the first testing we made. I'll post some new ones.

REALBasic.

I also put my bot up right now =) Go check it out if you got time for it!

And if your clan wants channels on the server, tell me.

mIRC u can customize the interface so not every program is the same, only difference thus far as its a simplar userface.

What was the extent of the "spam", as irc servers nowadays have inbuilt flood protection that will disconnect the client, temp ban, g-line. Only thing that would usually crash the servers would be power cuts, they have been around for a long time and have put in place things to prevent server crash's.

IRC is also modular, so people can code extensions, services, new features, etc. How will your chat program support something like this?

My ABot has very, very, very simple coding language that i built myself, and looks like this:

event init:
{
	SetActive(Yes)
}
event user_join:
{
	whisper(var[username],Welcome to this channel!)
}

That would send a "Welcome to this channel!" whisper to the user who joins.

And the interface, well, i'll look at it :)

*EDIT*
I know the spam protection in mIRC, but GroupChat servers can't be flooded to crash, since we have maximum connections per IP, and it can't be spammed either, cause it's too well-coded.
