It's been a very long time since I've written new IRC chat code. It was about time to do an updated chat IRC for WebTV. This is my latest code for a basic chat IRC for WebTV.
I've incorporated some new design changes in this chat IRC that have never been used before in other chat's that I've written.
Some of the new changes are; Plus upgrade audio ready, new room changer code, background colors with no background on the screen text provided from WebTV, and chatURL variable is now automatically located for you no matter what file name you use to save the chat on your homepage.
This chat will default load to my chat room on Net4TV chat server. To modify the code to default to your own chat room, change HPCK[0]="YOUR CHAT SERVER", HPCK=[1]="YOUR PORT", and HPCK[2]="YOUR CHAT ROOM NAME". HPCK[3]="PASSWORD" is used if you have room operator previlages.
You may also use your WebTV "save" button to save a chat room to your "favorites" folder. You can then set up a "F" key shortcut to load back your favorite chat rooms.
This chat has the plus audio fix so that the WebTV Plus will not stop playing audio (music) when you type text or press buttons while your are chatting.
You can also change the Background Color of the chat screen by pressing the BG button. You can type a 3 number #RBG code or use a color name, such as "black". I've set the default color as #181818, which is a light black color.
To send a private message, use the 1-1 button. This will whisper a message which can only be seen by you and the person you are sending it to.
The (4) boxes located at the bottom of the chat allow you to change chat rooms. The first box is for the Chat Server. Second is for the Port Number. The Third one, is for the name of the Chat Room. The last box, is for a Password for Room OPS if you are the room owner.
I hope you will enjoy using this chat and I will continue to write more in the future! :)
Sincerely,
Diane Dumas~

Transload
NOTE:
If you use the Cut & Paste Code, use WebTV text size "Small" to edit the file. Sometimes "hidden" space will creap into the code causing the lines of code to break to a new line. If this happens, the chat won't work until the line of code is restored back to one line again.
