IRC clients for wormnet

[skime]

Didn't find anything about irc clients here.. and i heard that someone use it to connect wormnet. Is here anyone who know which is the best, and what i need to do to connect worment? And.. what are the disadvantages? Unknown flag? Can I see hosted games and join it?

I'm just asking because i want something with more options then prosnopper. The Wheat Snopper which i tested is a bit buggy for me, crashed couple times and generally i didn't like it.

Ah, and question for all users, what do you use to connect to wormnet and why?

You need any IRC client and password for the wormnet server. And you cant host/join games via irc unless someone made own client for this, but as far as i know there is not any.

About IRC, I use mIRC to connect to WormNET, but as lacoste said it already, you cannot join/host/see games with that. You can set your rank and flag, though it's also a little tricky.

But to connect with IRC you must have a password, and that has been kept as a secret for a long time (for various reasons) and I wouldn't like to post it to such popular place as TUS.

Okay Ray and lac. Thanks for info. I didn't know many things you've said. I'm gonna try all snoopers, then some irc clients. Password won't be a problem. :p

hey skimek
wheat snoop gives you more options than connecting via IRC Client.
Im using prsnp to host\join games. and mIRC (the most popular IRC client for windows) to chat only
idk if in wheat u can join a cuple of channels(#ag, #rh & #pt at the same time) and have a private msg window's with several ppl, but with IRC client you can have both.
also, if u know some irc scripting you can code a "ON *:HOTLINK:", then u'll be able to press links in the irc client when some1 hosts with gameid, like in wheat snoop as much as I know.

feel free to ask anything about IRC, im kinda familiar..

cheers ^^
