DccAssist is an X-Chat plugin that enhances DCC file transfers with improved visuals and interaction. It improves the experience for users transferring files.
To use DccAssist, you need to have a Java virtual machine installed on your computer and accessible through your system's PATH. Additionally, you must have an XChat2 IRC client and Apache Ant (at least version 1.5.1) installed, along with a Java software development kit (SDK).
Installation is straightforward, whether you're using a precompiled binary or compiling the source code yourself. For the former, you simply need to unpack the downloaded archive, move to the extracted directory, and run the included bash shell script. For the latter, most users can compile DccAssist by running "ant" in the main directory. However, if that doesn't work, you can manually compile the native portions of the project by following the included instructions.
Once you've installed DccAssist, using it is a matter of loading the plugin (dccassist.so) in X-Chat and running the program. The latest release (version 1.x) includes several improvements from the previous version. These enhancements include PacketWatch's search feature, more aesthetic operations, and overall upgrades to program stability.
Overall, DccAssist is an excellent choice for X-Chat users looking to streamline their file transfer workflows with a more user-friendly and functional tool.
