irc-udfs's Issues

Improve _IRCConnect Performance

Improve performance by removing and reducing conditional statements.

Update IRC.udf allowed characters

Update All Functions to check against default allowed characters as specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-2.3.1

Nick changes only show up on one channel list.

Split off IRC clients from main project

After stepping away from the project for a while, I have realized that I kinda went overboard trying to make a full fledged IRC client while at the same time working on a UDF. They will be split off, and newer, smaller examples will be added.

Split _IRCMultiMode

Despite the old ways of having one function per IRC command, updating to UDF standards means _IRCMultiMode will have to be split into 4 functions.

_IRCChannelGetMode()
_IRCChannelSetMode()
_IRCUserGetMode()
_IRCUserSetMode()

Split _IRCChannelTopic

Despite the old ways of having one function per IRC command, switching to UDF standards means that _IRCChannelTopic needs to be split into 2 functions:

_IRCChannelGetTopic()
_IRCChannelSetTopic()

Remove $_iChars from _IRCGetMsg

It's no longer needed since _IRCGetMsg only receives one packet at a time now. Using $_iChars forces the user to have to split the data received into packets and then process them individually.

Unicode Example Output

The current example file outputs to console which has a limitation of only being able to display ANSI characters. Possibly switch to GUI output in a later version.

Userlist

Have Example.au3 parse channel user list and update it on joins/parts to/from it, as well as nick changes.

Have client switch servers on RPL_Bounce (005)

Convert Connecting to a Server to it's own function.

When RPL_Bounce (005) occurs, get server info from the message then disconnect from current server, and use that information to make a new call to connecting to a server.

Store User Lists in Arrays

Currently, users are stored in a space separated list which makes data modification difficult due to the possibility of false positive string matches when using StringReplace(). Enhances #1

Pros:

• Data Modification is easier
• Data Modification is precise

Cons:

• Decreases Maximum users from: 214,748,364 (if complying with http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-1.2.1) to 16,777,216

GUI Client

Create an example IRC client with a user list and tabs for channels.

Requires #1 to be completed first.

GUIGetMsg() stuck in loop when no data is received.

If $_vRecv = Null, GUIGetMsg() will get stuck in a loop
