If you're talking about porting your online friendslist, no idea how thats going to happen without peppy's help.

How'd you do the auth? Did you packet sniff the client?

Doing the auth gives you a personal password which you can use as an IRC password to log on without going to the auth page. This is the password you enter in the app (not your osu! password)

Also getting friend lists is totally possible if you scrape the friend list page, but that might get messy.

Even if so, how am I supposed to access someone else's friends list page lmao.
It's too complicated for me, tbh, not planning on doing something like this.

You'd have to open a local websocket and include scraping logic in the client, and then be very very careful the program won't scrape more than maybe once every 30 seconds or so (to avoid stealing server bandwidth). Probably not worth the hassle.

If there is no way to get a friend list using peppy's API let the user provide a text file with user names/ids or so atleast. Then you can show them in your app using standard irc ways
Really. The absense of a friend list is the thing that makes all other irc clients not convinient to use with osu!

I guess I can add an option for pasting the names from the page.

Checking it to a userlist yes, I've made one already. It'll happen.

I get bad authentication and seems like osu!rc creates cfg file that shows typed username and password, you should do something for that password, maybe encrypt or something so it wouldnt show so easily

edit: i was dump when typing password, now it works but it still shows it at cfg file

Thanks for reminding me, password is now encrypted. On next release, config file deletion will be required (or just the Password value in it)
If any crashes occur please remember to post here with the error code.

Edit: added a new prefs dialog where you can manage friends/channels to join on startup and other misc options.

New release available for download (download link in first post)

looks cool

would be great if you could add that the chat doesn't jump to the newest appeared line while reading some older lines like scrolling up

also, why did appeared a message of banchobot in #osu when I didn't reported someone in #osu? o_o

I've never used mac and I have zero knowledge of supporting it, you're more than free to do so.

Also new (r3) release is available, see first post for download link.

I guess that it wouldn't be that hard to port it to mac via mono.

Would be cool if you use bitbucket/github for sharing source code so people could help you out and stuff

Given the fact its developed in VB.NET people are going to go "im gonna do my own version in C#", rather than help me out.
So I'm not up for that for now.

New (r4) release is available! Check first post for download link.

My password is greater than ten characters, so I can't log in without editing a config file and resultantly crashing the program upon the next boot of the program.

Is this just my computer having a locale issue or is it a ten character limit for everyone?

The password in the config file is encrypted so no luck in trying to replace it, ill increase the character limit to 20. Expect fix in next release.

20 chars is still too short imo, you should consider increasing it.

Wait I just derped, you should use your authentication password, not osu! password. Usually auth tokens are 8 chars in length.
https://osu.ppy.sh/p/ircauth to get your authentication password token.

I'll keep the char limit to 20 anyway, no big deal.

Highlighting is planned or is it already added? Haven't check the client yet, but plan on using it

Almost full support.
- If your name is mentioned, the chat line will turn green
- Notification sound will play (can be changed) if window is not focused (planning on adding that to popups too)

Planned:
- I'll have to figure out how to remove the string's case sensitivity. For now only your exact name (Sulker) or lowercase name (sulker) can be detected, other styles (ex. sulkeR/sUlker SULKER) wont trigger that highlight.
- Taskbar flashing and icon change (similar to skype)

The UI looks really good from the screenshots, and the idea is cool!
I'll try ASAP and see how it goes! :)

Oh my gosh this is amazing <3

You should probably look into implementing name colours though, since that's probably the one thing about osu!irc that distinguishes it from other chats (and any other IRC client). It would probably be a little tricky; I'd imagine you'd need peppy to maybe pitch in api support or something, but I'd definitely like to see this for this client. Good work so far though~

I can think of a possible way to detect supporter with html parsing, its gonna get a bit tricky but its not completely impossible. Thats gonna be on low prority though.

Edit: I made a test program and managed to detect it, but the responce I get is kinda delayed.



It looks alright for now, no hanging and it still gets chatlines across faster than the osu! client. Not sure if this is a good idea though since im sending a web request for every single chat line in the client..

This will have to be held onhold for now.

Please provide crash code, also do not use your osu! password, use your IRC AUTHENTICATION password.

Usernames this long are not allowed nowadays, ill increase the limit to 20 chars in next release.

Also a bit of an update - name colors.
