Title: Irc Chat
Post by: LordsofKobol on November 11, 2005, 07:37:48 AM
I was looking at the home of the site and somehow the IRC chat isn't working? Have you shut it down? I much prefer speaking over a chatroom rather than forums when I'm asking questions...I tried the link on the website several times then took the server address and tried it with mIRC...still nothing, it times out, I'm an avid IRC user are there some technical problems you all need help with?

well this is ironic, I was about to make the same thread, but with a different subtitle, like how did you do it? I have been meaning to make one and I was wondering the following questions

How do you program it into the sites coding?
how do you make your own channel?
any suggested servers?

You make your own channel by joining a channel with a custom name and setting up some rules...uhm, *blushes* I have a website bookmarked that has a bunch of IRC commands, i never take the time to memorize things in IRC beyond giving people permissions, bot commands, and the nick server. Eufnoc why can't i join then? I get a constant "time out"

EDIT: Ok! Got it to work, the URL on the site must be old, get an IRC client, such as mIRC, mIRC Website (http://www.mirc.com), Connect to the gamesurge server which is irc.gamesurge.net then when your all connected, /join #fleetops. I'm there now. But for some reason I can't register my nick :P :(

2nd EDIT: :D never mind i forgot gamesurge doesn't use the NickServ commands anymore. Forget what i said about making a channel, AuthServ is web based. goto Gamesurge Website (http://www.gamesurge.net) and you can register a channel.

right lets say I have a channel and such, and I myself have an Irc client already :) but I would like to do a java based application so that I could click chat as a link, then the link would open and wa la, a type nickname then submit and opening the chat room on a web based page

Alright then, to link your it to your website it is like a simple web link.
<a href=irc://irc.yourserver.net/yourchannel>Texty Texty</a>. Do you mean directly integrate it into the website via popup like on fleet ops? I believe that's a Java applet, which you would have to download (I THINK, I'm NOT sure!) and upload via FTP or some such... I'm sure if you google "Web based IRC java applet" you could find one for free that comes with instructions ;) If not, then I'm sure you could ask DOCa...I think it said he designed the site...well, whoever designed the site would have first hand knowledge. :)

Tech talk is great, it's how we programmers frack with your heads, we can insult you in binary and in strange backward DOS scripts :lol: u r teh move C:\documents and settings\owner\desktop C:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\trash 0wnz0r3d :lol:

We're all out to get you... :shifty: :omg: :ph34r: harharhar...

<? PHP
echo "pwned" /n;
print " yo... anyway... yeah.... sure... download now";
? >


Well I got the applet up and such, now I am just wondering how they forced people to login, so that there username is already in place when they enter the chat. I looked at th e source for the page, but as you know with PHP the HTML display is about as useful as the tip of an Iceberg
