@eukara under IRC I also meant the overall UX, do you just fill a nickname and then have simple input and chat boxes? Also did people really used it?

@eukara woah, it's cool.
I also wanted to restore this feature, and it's quite easy without making engine or menu too complicated, especially IRC is easy enough for this, but just never actually implemented it. By the way, do you also have a working download mods section in Custom Game menu? :) @a1ba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBVkTVB9ZWo here's an old video showing its initial implementation
@a1ba there's some major changes coming to how releases are distributed, so some things are kinda jank still. in theory all you'll need soon is an FTEQW binary - plop it into a valid HL WON install and it'll figure itself out and automatically recommend FreeHL from its builtin menu/package manager. We're not quite there yet, but soon(tm)

In terms of people using it... lots of people would still prefer IRC because that meant not having the game open. GameSurge was basically the go-to place for Half-Life players and modders hosting #svencoop and #mapcore. But there's also other networks obviously that people had their own preferences for.
