This project is a good long way down the to-do list at the moment, although I got quite far along with it.
The major problem I had, was that delphi is a bit too heavy, producing inefficient code with memory leaks and nasty stuff like that. Example:
mIRC - when running, uses up 1.1M of memory.
WoWIRC - when running, ~10M and increasing while running.
Also, I want to be able to make some fancy transparent windows similar to the chat-boxes in the game, and the functionality in Delphi is very limited regarding this.
I would really like to pick up where I left and see if I could finish the project some time. Perhaps in another language - c# maybe?
