xsTPTIRC is an IRC client embedded into TPT, the thing many of you waited for a long time
here's the guthub repo: https://github.com/mniip/xsTPTIRC
To make it work you need just a couple steps:
0) Get luasocket, if you're on linux, apt-get/yum/whatever install lua5.1 luarocks
luarocks install luasocket
if you're on windows, you can try luarocks too,
but you can always just put these in your TPT folder: http://files.luaforge.net/releases/luasocket/luasocket/luasocket-2.0.2/luasocket-2.0.2-lua-5.1.2-Win32-vc8.zip luasocket is now packaged with TPT
1) Get the script, https://raw.github.com/mniip/xsTPTIRC/master/irc.lua
2) Run it, https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/How_to_run_a_script.html
3) Make sure you are logged in
4) Press Ctrl+M, a window should appear
5) Wait couple seconds for it to connect
6) You're done :D congrats!
just type your text and hit enter
7) Ill strongly recommend you to read the readme in the github page, and some instructions for IRC

those who want to participate in development, just pm me, or contribute pull requests on github

Here are some screenshots:

P.S lots of features are missing, ill add them with time

Sorry, no, this is lua,
but actually when i develop it enough, i might suggest that to simon, so itll be distributed with tpt
