Vortec IRC

The site is back up :)

AVG Anti-virus has been reporting the Vortec IRC installer as a virus. This is a false-positive triggered by the setup program I use to install Vortec (InnoSetup). Several programs which use InnoSetup are being reported as PSW.Banker5.ZOY by AVG including MalwareByte's. This problem has been reported to AVG and they have updated their virus definitions to fix this. If you are getting this virus alert, try manually updating your virus definitions and it should take care of it. The AVG forums have a lot of posts about this today: http://forums.avg.com

I have uploaded Vortec's voice chat code for use by anyone who wants it. It was put together on Delphi 6 but this code should work for any version, I think. Downloads page to download.

I was made aware of a few critical issues in the new 1.0 that I did not discover while testing. Sorry about that, but I have another update which addresses some of the issues you may be having. Get 1.0.2 from the Downloads page.

Finally, Vortec IRC version 1.0 is available! Nearly 200 bug fixes, additions and improvements have been added from the beta 0.8 version. Get it now from the Downloads page! If you are upgrading from version 0.8 or 0.9 there are a couple of things to note with scripts and file locations, read the posts here and here. The 1.0 installer includes an upgrade script which will help you migrate your files if you are upgrading from 0.8.

New private beta build 2187 for members. Voice chat is much more stable in this version, plus several other new features

New version available for members. Several major bug fixes. Also added rudimentary voice chat support.

I have registered a channel on ChatSpike for Vortec IRC (#VortecIRC @ irc.chatspike.net). I will try to be available as much as possible, but if I'm not there, or if I am there but away, try again later or just hang out for a while. And if some kind sould wants to donate some time to be there and help out that would be appreciated :)

New version 0.9.0.1984 is available in members' area, as well as a few more scripts for all Vortec versions

New version 0.9.0.1955 is available to members' area

I am in the process of upgrading the forum. If anyone has issues logging in please email me at jellowe (at) vortecirc (dot) com

New Dictionary script. Looks up a given word from dictionary server, displays output to server window. Also re-uploaded the vortecpopups2.txt popups file, which was aparently uploaded in binary mode or something because the line endings were all messed up. Anyway, if you are looking for a ton of popups, this file is now available.

Updated the website design! Still working on the forum. Updated servers.ini file, get it from Downloads page. I also uploaded all of the avatars and smilies from the old PirchWorld.com forum. Enjoy!

I am making some changes to the site, so please bear with me and tolerate the weird look for a day or two :)

New private beta, build 1942, available in members' area.

New PopupTV 0.3 ASCII Art Text Player script, now available from Scripts pages, "Color" section.
