Source Code for the Remote Client

Is there any way we can possibly get the source code for the IRCBot Client?

I use the software with all my DJs, and they'd love to see a My Little Pony theme. I have been able to change the icons, and the notify sound using Resource Hacker, but I wanted to full-on theme it.

If we're not allowed to have the source code, is there any way we could make a customised client for ourselves using VBasic?

Cheers
WestJ

The source isn't currently available, but yeah a client could be made easily in VB.net or even old VB6.
Depending on how far you want to go with modding, I could make a system if you just mainly want to recolor things, set a background image, etc. It would probably have to be in Client5 though, Client3 is kind of a pain to mess with for that kind of thing due to the widget toolkit it uses.

Note for any future people reading this: If you put a file called incoming_req.wav in your client folder it will use that instead of the internal sound.

Is there an API or some sort of guide I could use to re-create a client using Visual Basic?
Anything you can give me will be appreciated!

Yep, you can see the specs for the remote protocol on the wiki here: http://wiki.shoutirc.com/index.php/Remote_Commands
If you get stuck or anything let me know and I'll see if I can help. I've used C# a bit and VB.net even less, I try to avoid languages that are mainly tied to one platform.

Not really, no. We are now looking at a way to mangle the stuff from the PHP Request system to make it display nicely on a Wordpress page (In fact, we are slowly turning the entire Web Request System into a Wordpress Plugin!)

Once it's fully released (and if licenses allow us to) we'll release it into the forum.

Yeah it's GPL so you can release it anywhere. Once it's up I'll put it in the downloads section too so more people will see it.
