@arfy@cachondo@quanin The installer is probably NSIS. So unzipping it instead of running it should get you the source. Or just send it to me and I'll make it a repo LOL. It still works and it should be online somewhere.
@fastfinge@arfy@cachondo Yeah, I'll give it a repo later today. I might see if the readme is somewhere on my machine and use that as the basis for the readme.md GitHub looks for.
@quanin@arfy@cachondo If it's anywhere, it'll be part of the installer when you unzip it. It might have also been dumped into your mirc directory in program files as well. Good grief this is making me feel old. Pretty sure as a teenager I touched, in at least some small way, every single talking IRC solution that ever existed.
@fastfinge@arfy@cachondo Okay, ReadMe located and yes, your name is definitely on it. It goes on GitHub later today. IF I don't feed you a repo URL by tomorrow AM, you have my permission to slap me.
@arfy@fastfinge@cachondo It should absolutely all work. It's a pretty basic program and I've tested it on JAWS versions as recent as 2025. No reason the NVDA API should behave any differently.
@fastfinge@arfy@cachondo What message types are those? And I assume that would just be a matter of updating the scripts and repackaging it. I just haven't seen any to test.
@fastfinge@arfy@cachondo Well, once I throw it up on GH later if you want to update it, I mean it's partially your code. Just send me the new installer and I'll add it to the repo. Or give you access, whichever.
@quanin@arfy@cachondo lol I think I forgot everything I ever new about Mirc. Also, all the old irc hangouts I knew of are dead dead. So I’ve got nowhere to test.
@quanin@arfy@cachondo I keep wanting to bring irc back in our community. But there’s just no good accessible iOS client. So it’s dead in the water.
@fastfinge@arfy@cachondo I don't even know how you'd make IRC accessible on iOS. Or even Android. On iOS in particular VO would be tripping over itself every time someone posted something new. You'd have a hell of a time doing anything.
@fastfinge@quanin@arfy I have a vague memory of using mIRC with SJAMS on windows 10, but that could really have still been with JAWS or even SAPI if I was using NVDA by that point. I can't see how that old SJAMS code interfaced with NVDA at all.
@cachondo@arfy@quanin I have similar memories. But they're so vague I can't put a finger on them. I find it hard to believe that nobody did NVDA support for mIRC, though!
@fastfinge@cachondo@quanin I'm not sure where mo's gotten to these days, but I'm sure he, or I, at some point, got mIRC and his TalkingIRC script working with NVDA, via a mirc layer to toke. That's all i can think of.
@arfy@fastfinge@cachondo Welp, I'm one of these days going to sit down and see if I can't rewrite the version I have in Python and call it good. Accessible Output 2 should cover JAWS, NVDA and SAPI if needed.
