IRC plugin for EQ2

Hi,

is it possible to include an irc window to chat ingame with people on irc? That would be really cool.

Is there any way to do this? (Stupid suggestion of alternate reality removed.)

You could set your IRC client window to be always on top, place it in a convenient spot and use it to chat...

But this only works in window mode, doesn't it?

Haven't tried it yet (@work atm) but I'm actually looking for a real ingame solution. I just recently heard of an ingame mp3 player for eq2...

No, it's not possible. Submit to windowed mode.

hmmm, such a pity...

The in-game MP3 player you mentioned, by the way, isn't actually an in-game MP3 player. It's an external program that looks at your log file and can execute its own functions based on what gets added when you type certain things.

I suppose you could write some kind of mIRC plug-in that would do something similar, but it would be send-only. Member(s) of the EQ2 development team have clearly stated that using any external program to insert data into the game is a violation of the EULA/TOS (paraphrased). This means there would be no way to see what other people are typing in IRC, making it effectively useless.

It may be possible to have a window running on top of the full-screen game with some in-depth DirectX programming; but even if it is, it would really have nothing to do with EQ2.
