SwiftKit News

Update 0.85 - IRC Client Update!


Finally it's arrived, the update we've been promising you for months now. This update brings a multitude of fixes and features to the existing IRC Client. Some of these include nickname highlights, logging, clickable URL's, properly working themes, auto identify and channel or PM now flash. That's only a few of the changes and additions, not to mention a whole bunch of bug fixes that were causing crashes.

So please, if the IRC Client was holding you(or a friend) back from using SwiftKit we urge you to give it a go again. With the latest update the IRC Client in SwiftSwitch is of no comparison to the updated one in SwiftKit.

IRC Client Changes and Fixes:
* Textview no longer tries to access lines when it has none on MoveMove event
* Status is no longer logged when logging is disabled
* URLs split over multiple lines now work properly
* If a theme is missing an event colour entry, a default value is used (caused highlight colour to be set to white)
* Default browser should now be properly detected and launched
* Added ctcp command and ctcp nicklist options
* Nicklist items without icons now have a 5 pixel buffer on the left
* Queries now track nickname changes correctly
* Scrolling the textview large distances with the mousewheel no longer causes an error
* Adding a highlight and then reopening the options dialog no longer causes an error
* Pasting one line of text no longer automatically sends to IRC.
* Pasting 5 or more lines of text will now result in a confirmation prompt
* Pressing the down arrow while focused on a textbox will now always clear the text (when at the end of input history)
* Sessions will now be destroyed correctly when closed (caused a crash when closing the hosting application)
* Added auto rejoin on kick option (2 second delay).
* The nickname highlight will now beep when triggered
* Added hop command
* Fixed nasty bug in textview
* Added /clear and /clearall commands
* Channel list is now cleared before listing again
* Channel list will remain closed if closed while listing
* Reduced total switchbar height by 6 pixels
* Tabstrip tabs now have a border the same colour as frames
* Start page background now uses frame background colour
* Command buttons now only respond to clicks from the left mouse button
* Added logging feature
* URLs (web addresses) are now clickable
* Highlights now work

SwiftKit Changes and Fixes;
+ Multiple fixes made to the Atlas.
+ Fixed a bug in the To Do List.
+ Fixed a bug in the tips that crashed SwiftKit.
+ Manual updated.
+ TokTz-Ket-Dill quest added.
+ WorldInfo updated.

Nice! I especially like the auto-identify, it was so annoying identifing every single time you logged in, before!

For anyone wondering what IRC actually is and how it works, please do a Google search on SwiftIRC Wiki, click the first result that shows up, and browse that site. You'll learn all you need to know. If you have more questions about it, please visit the "#irchelp" (no quotation markes) channel.

You guys understand that you can turn the censor off? Look in the irc options.

We'd like to ask that you guys PLEASE post on the ZYBEZ Runescape Community boards (in the SwiftSwitch/Kit Forum) if you are having ANY problems whatsoever with SwiftKit. Thanks. :)

Just a suggestion.
The highlight system is a nice addition.
However, maybe add the ability to turn the 'beep' on/off for highlights.
If I could turn off that beep (without having to go to volume control and mute SwiftKit (anyone with Vista will know what I mean)), then I would totally use the highlighting system. Until then...I'll stick to my highlight script on mIRC that notices me. (with no beep).

Nebbo 67 @ 18 May 2020 01:07 pm

Sweet update!

we need to be able to change the colour of nicks depending on their access (op etc) because when you change the background colour you cannot see some of them!

An amsg command would be the stupidest thing ever... then we'd have swiftkit users amsging "[amsg] gotta take a **** brb" "[amsg] back" its bad enough with the people that do it all the time on mIRC.

About the /hop command, great, now there will be spam from swiftkit users. Add a Delay to it.

I don't normally use SwiftKit but I'm on a different Computer..
