weechat SILC

Basics

This plugin amis to provide SILC support for the popular weechat IRC client. I started this because the official irssi-plugin for SILC simply sucks and is broken in several ways. The official SILC client works but is inconvenient because it requires you to run one client for each protocol you use (one for IRC, one for SILC, one for XMPP, ...)

I found weechat and really liked it and the plugin API is well documented and fairly easy to use.

Building

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Copy to ~/.weechat/plugins and start using it. ;)

Basic commands

  • /silc connect <servername> - will connect you to a server of your choice, no key verification is done currently
  • /silc join <channelname> - joins a channel, this command has to be issued in the buffer of the server
  • /silc msg <nickname> <message> - open a query window with that nick and send the message, currently you can only message users you have seen on a channel

DISCLAIMER

This plugin is work in progress and currently highly unstable and barely functional! Use at own risk! Don't hold me responsible if it crashes, destroys your hardware, eats your soul or kills your cat!
