This is a Wii U IRC client designed for use with an attached USB keyboard. It supports various keyboard layouts, provides controls for messaging and navigating, and includes both USB keyboard and gamepad button controls.
The client understands commands for joining channels, private messaging, changing nicknames, and more. The application also maintains logs and messages for the current channel.
The client has undergone several version updates, addressing issues and introducing new features like HTTPS support and image downloading.
Installation
Copy the wiiu folder to the root of the SD card.
(Optional) Install the forwarder channel with WUP Installer.
User guide
How to connect
Choose your keyboard layout: Tap the flag of the country that is closest to your keyboard layout.
Enter your username and password.
Enter the channel and server to connect to.
When you first start, select your country, 11 different country layouts are supported for your USB keyboard. The app also has an OSK now. There is no Japanese OSK, as it was very difficult to program.
Commands
Commands the client understands:
/join [channel]- Will join a channel/part [channel]- Will part a channel/msg [nick] [message]- Will PM a nick with a message, creates a PM window for that nick/nick [newnick]- Will change your nick, if the server lets you/me [message]- Will perform ACTION/ctcp [message]- Will send a ctcp message
Notes
The client will open a new PM window if someone PMs you and will automatically switch you to that window on the first message.
Logs and messages are only shown for the channel you are currently in. If someone says something in a channel you are not currently viewing, you will not be notified at this time. You must cycle through the channels to that channel to see the message. The server notices are shown in the server channel, the server channel and PM channels are the only channels you can not /part.
Reconnection may require restarting the app.
