This started out as a personal project when I had a lot of time on my hands a while ago.
There is still enough room for improvement and I do plan on eventually expanding this and tackling most issues, (very unlikely to happen anytime soon) however since I made this my available free time has been rather limited so I very much do welcome contributions. I also no longer use this actively myself so I have no insights about how it works regarding the discord API.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
#discordircd on irc.snoonet.org.
discordIRCd is a node.js application that allows you to connect to discord with your irc client.
This is far from complete and only has the most basic IRC functionality in it to make it work with IRCCloud. It also has been tested somewhat with Hexchat.
- Run
NPM install - Edit config.js to your personal preferences. Your Discord token can be aquired by going into your browsers developer tools and grabbing it from localstorage there.
- Start the server through server.js
- Connect with your ircclient to the server at the given adress with the following details:
- Username: The username defined in config.js, basically acts as a password.
- Server password: The id of the discord server you want to connect to.
- Join the channels you want.
Discord doesn't send private messages based on the server. In order to work around that discordIRCd provides an extra server that is soley used for sending and receiving private messages. To join it it use the server password DMserver.
Private conversations can be initiated from any server but will be automatically taken up by the private message server.
- Users joining/leaving channels and servers.
- Away for idle and dnd discord users.
- Mentions are translated both ways.
- Basic discord markdown is parsed to irc formatting.
