So.
Last night I decided to try out kvirc.
I'll be honest I don't like it.
Its too picturey I like basic text.

But out of all features, one feature really caught my eye.
"The AVATAR Idea"
The concept of users having avatars on IRC.

I really liked this idea, a friend on a chat server told be it used DCC.
I asked about how it worked and he werent to sure as he didn't use that feature.

So after playing around with mIRC and kvirc I found out how it works.

Its just CTCP's and DCC's :D

So I spent till 5am coding this damn thing up after a lot of dead ends and troubleshooting I've sorted it.
So have fun,

Report any bugs you find.

NOTE:
Currently two mIRC clients don't properly swap avatars.
I intend to fix this soon!

Leave comments, bug reports and suggestions below.

I intend to setup a bug reporting system for my scripts!

Find me at irc.ilkotech.co.uk in #ilkotech if you want help with anything mIRC related!

;The AVATAR Idea.
;This nice feature is used in kvirc, and its nice.
;So why not let mIRC do the same?
;So thats what I intend to do with this script.
;Unluckily i've never used DCC in scripts so this will be a test.
