IRC link with UrT | <gm> or gm@quakenet.org

[15:56:01] <gm> oh wait one more min Biddle !!
[15:56:13] <gm> you know our link with azubu?
[15:56:16] <gm> a site like twitch
[15:56:22] <Biddle> not heard of it yet, but have the strong fealing I will very soon :)
[15:56:34] <Biddle> well, a lot of famous twitch channels use IRC as main chat
[15:56:37] <gm> we host their chat page now, and often get 1k-10k users on a channel from em
[15:56:53] <gm> and for all that to work, and their site to make auths with Q etc, there was masses of dev work
[15:57:07] <Biddle> Can imagine it
[15:57:46] <gm> hg.quakenet.org has all our public stuff on, if you're interested. you can see the dates of the changes to see whats being worked on
[15:59:30] <gm> even i've written a lua bot that runs off newserv there :p
[15:59:38] <gm> not that i'm a dev, but i wanted to learn it
[15:59:39] <Biddle> hehe, congratz!
[16:00:20] <gm> actually i made 2. a botnet spam bot, which spawned 100k bots on 1 channel if i wanted it, and another which glined them :p
[16:00:54] <gm> although my test server froze when i hit about 56k bots on 1 channel
[16:01:07] <gm> u do it via newserv and linking your bot as a server
[16:02:21] <Biddle> I was wondering if there was not a plan to get IRC more or less back on the table concerning nowadays internet's users expectations. I mean, any person under 20 would feal IRC's current way of working completly hostile, no ?
[16:02:40] <gm> thats what we're doing right now
[16:02:54] <gm> the way is via social media, and linking our webchat page
[16:03:02] <gm> not changes, just expansion
[16:03:19] <Biddle> So basicaly integrating webchat where ever you can to get users
[16:03:40] <gm> and like azubu's chat client. thats hosted on their site but uses our network
[16:03:45] <gm> the code is amazing how it works
[16:04:29] <gm> and we offer the companies a free already-working chat system with staff in place to deal with abuse etc
[16:05:23] <gm> the user has no idea its irc too, or that they have a q auth made for them which is linked to azubu's site userlist
[16:05:34] <Biddle> I see :)
[16:06:17] <Biddle> makes think of Urban Terror..
[16:06:34] <gm> yer?
[16:07:14] <Biddle> you know we are working on the HD version
[16:07:33] <gm> feel free to chat to us about key give-aways etc
[16:07:41] <gm> if you've seen us do that to promote games
[16:07:57] <Biddle> I have indeed
[16:09:24] <Biddle> we started to dev a little more seriously a couple months ago after UE4 was realeased, still in our free time of course
[16:09:40] <gm> ah right
[16:09:47] <gm> sounds like qnet
[16:09:49] <Biddle> I was thinking that doing something with the chat with IRC could be something to think about
[16:10:12] <Biddle> why so ?
[16:10:28] <gm> strange you say that. i've worked on another game (swgemu.com) and that has a massive chat system ingame, which i was considering linking to irc
[16:10:37] <gm> because its in your free time
[16:10:43] <Biddle> oh yes ok
[16:11:45] <Biddle> Well yeah, like every video online multiplayer games nowadays chat is one important thing
[16:11:57] <gm> definately
[16:12:06] <Biddle> And getting something linked to IRC could be cool
[16:12:10] <gm> azubu realised that when adding chat to their site
[16:12:33] <Biddle> cause Qnet is the place where you'll find the most UrT players
[16:12:43] <gm> exact;y
[16:12:46] <gm> *exactly
[16:13:09] <gm> my idea was to take the source or our ircd and merge that into the source of the game we were making, and run it on its own thread
[16:13:19] <Biddle> We already use IRC for so many things, especially match making since it's not something implemented in our 1999 game
[16:13:32] <Biddle> so on an other network dedicated to the game?
[16:13:45] <gm> yer
[16:13:51] <gm> on its own server
[16:14:01] <gm> but that could be linked via port 4400
[16:14:10] <gm> what you could do is link to us as azubu does
[16:14:10] <Biddle> which people could also chat in through their client without being necessarily in game
[16:14:21] <gm> yer
[16:14:24] <gm> and a phone app etc :)
[16:14:32] <gm> ya gotta hit em from all angles nowdays
[16:14:32] <Biddle> sure
[16:14:54] <Biddle> Well, that's something that would need a lot of discussions to tell you that we're going to do it that way.
[16:15:32] <Biddle> But I'll approach the rest of the team to see how each of them are seing things, and check out if they like that idea
[16:15:41] <gm> yer, just brainstorming while my painkillers kick in :p
[16:15:57] <gm> come back to me, if you've got any news then! You know where and how to contact me :)
