VhaBot.Net | An AoC Chat Library

VhaBot.Net & BasicBot

Introduction
I'm proud to announce the first public release of an AoC targeted chat library.
It has full support for the new friends system. It has been cleaned from AO specific stuff as much as possible.
It's pretty bare bone and designed to serve as a chat library, not a full featured bot. You'll have to write that yourself.
It has been written to be event based and multi-threaded. So please be advised to make sure you think about thread safety inside your callbacks.

Example

Code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Chat chat = new Chat("213.244.186.133", 7002, "Account", "Password", "Character"); // Initialize a new chat connection
Trace.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener(Console.Out)); // This allows you to view debug output from the library
chat.PrivateMessageEvent += new PrivateMessageEventHandler(PrivateMessageEvent); // Hook a tell event
chat.Connect(); // Connect
Console.ReadLine(); // Make sure the application doesn't close instantly
}

static void PrivateMessageEvent(Chat chat, PrivateMessageEventArgs e)
{
if (chat.ID == e.CharacterID || e.Outgoing) return;
TextWindow window = new TextWindow();
window.AppendColorString("AABBCC", "Inside a TextWindow");
window.AppendLineBreak();
window.AppendCommand("Click me", "/text You clicked me!", true);
chat.SendPrivateMessage(e.CharacterID, "Greetings, " + window.ToString("you can click this"));
}

This means you are allowed to fork the project and change the name as long as you credit the original authors.
However, it also means that when you release anything that uses this library, you need to publish the complete source under GPLv2.

Download
Currently, I'm releasing the library only through SVN. I will take good care to keep the SVN version operational.
