crusadingknight Report post Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Try http://rootshell.be/~bremac/elchat.zip It's a small PDcurses-based client, with a windows executable included... may need to rebuild it for linux or whatever. It's essentially Wytter's elchat program...just I can't remember what his site is. <_< You have to edit elchat.ini with a Unix-line style editor. (Anything but notepad ) Edited February 16, 2005 by crusadingknight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeone3000 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Wooteth!! It worked!! Thank you to whoever made this. You have to copy-paste the SDL.dll and SDL_net.dll into its directory from the EL client directory. I am allowed to connect to port 2000 with this, right? Curses! They named it right, for sure. Every time I hit a key that's not a letter, backspace, enter, or space, it crashes... anyway... Fixes anytime soon?

freeone3000 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) If you are running windows, you have a text editor other than wordpad. It's been posted already, but: Start, run, type in edit. Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't see why you have to edit it. Copy-paste SDL.dll and SDL_net.dll from your EL directory to this directory. Make sure you have uncompressed it first. Then Double-click on the config (.ini) file. Open with whatever. Change username to your username, password to your password, and change port from 2001 to 2000. Close that, double click the executable. Make sure you get it, not the icon file. Then it is done. Remember not to press caps lock, control, alt, windows, a function key, num lock, end, insert, or printscreen. It will crash if you do.
