There could be a problem connecting to the server, for example:

1. Your firewall could be blocking the PC World Grabber.
2. The IRC server is full.

What you can do is this:
1. Open the PC World Grabber.
2. Go to File -> Show Debug Window
3. You should now see a bit of text and stuff like this:

:hyperion.fl.us.SwiftIRC.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
:hyperion.fl.us.SwiftIRC.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Checking ident...
:hyperion.fl.us.SwiftIRC.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname

4. In that area, do you see any errors? Usually you will see something like "ERROR :Closing Link:" and then something after it.

See what you can find and let me know!

PC World Grabber by Matthew/DaRk NiGhT

Current Version: 1.1

I play Pest Control sometimes and got sick of always having to go into their IRC to get the current worlds. So, I made a little program to do it for me and I'm releasing it.

All you do is run the exe and after about 5-10 seconds, the world boxes will fill in with the current worlds! It will continue to update every 20-40 seconds, depending on how often the worlds are said in the #pc channel.

(Commends/Suggestions are Welcome)

very snazzy, how does it work?

It connects to the IRC like any other IRC client and just listens for the worlds... When it "hears" the worlds, it cleans up the text and puts the worlds in the text boxes you see. It's a simple concept, but it took a bit to get the text parsing right.

I figured it had to be something like that, but it would have its fair share of glitches unless the irc channel was strict good worlds only, as oppsed ot people talking about it being their grandmas 91 birthday

Haha i'm glad you guys like it! I check to make sure it works every so often because sometimes they change the format that they say stuff in and it breaks. Hopefully it'll be good for a while.

Thanks a lot Matthew! Great program, it will be very useful when I need it.

 

Just updated to version 1.2. They changed the announcement format a bit so I had to re-do some of the code for the world grabber.

It's not made in java... xD

That error usually means you don't have the .NET framework installed. There is a link to the framework in my first post.
