Ok

ixnay · October 24, 2002, 21:28

And if it doesn't work, we all know who to blame.

Locutus · October 24, 2002, 21:34

Damn you, Skany!

Apocalypse · October 24, 2002, 21:48

It appears to work.

Wasn't there an IRC channel at apolyton.net (or the gamestats server) that Apolyton used a few years ago?

I seem to remember a chat or two back in the day.

E_T · October 24, 2002, 23:13

So would we have a #Civ3Dem room for the DG?

What other rooms are available?

Aha. The total maximum number of simultaneous users allowed on the IRC server run on Settler seems to be 6 and it also looks like there's no registered chatrooms as there's no rooms listed in the serverlist. Anyway...

Nice new feature, Markos.

P.S. If you try to connect to the server using an IRC client, I recommend that you join the #apolyton channel at least I lurk there and it's easier if there's one common destination.

Rasbelin · October 25, 2002, 01:14

Skanky, isn't that +1?

Well, get there and stop laughing!

BTW, I have to suggest a #blame_skanky IRC channel too.

H Tower · October 25, 2002, 01:32

so is any one else in the #apolyton room?

i've never used IRC before

Rasbelin · October 25, 2002, 01:34

Yes, I'm there. I just got bored and closed the connection, but I'm back again.

H Tower · October 25, 2002, 01:49

Good feature, Markos, thanks!

Finally this mess with the DALnet ended.

Rasbelin · October 25, 2002, 04:32

Okay, here's detailed instructions for Trillian (version 0.74)...

1. Open "Connection Manager."

2. Choose IRC as "Chat Medium."

3. Press the "Add" button.

4. Fill in the fields like below (example):

After that, press "OK."

5. Fill in the rest of the boxes like following (example):

And finally press "Set nick on all servers."

6. Click "Connect."

7. Now the gray icon will indicate that you're connected to settler.apolyton.net.

8. Right click the IRC icon and choose "Toggle Status Window."

9. Now the connection window has been opened. You can use any normal IRC commands as usual.

10. If you want to enter the #apolyton channel, type "/join #apolyton." In th case you want to see a list of channels available and how many users they have, you can retrieve the channel list by pressing the "List Channels" like below. Then press the "Get list!" button. Voilá!

Hint: By double clicking a channel name, you will automatically join it.

11. Finally at the #apolyton channel. Now you can start talking.

12. When you want to leave the channel, just close the chat window. If you want to close the connection to the ACS IRC server, just type "/quit" or right click at the gray IRC icon in the main window of Trillian and choose "Disconnect."

Just a few sidenotes...

Do check your IRC settings in Trillian, HT.

Immortal Wombat · October 25, 2002, 09:33

It seems to be running 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off...

MarkG · October 25, 2002, 09:46

i'm doing some changes on it.....

H Tower · October 25, 2002, 15:38

it keeps trying to connect but gets disconnected...

Eli · October 25, 2002, 16:05

Same here.

H Tower · October 25, 2002, 16:22

hmm, works now

tniem · October 25, 2002, 16:38

Its working, and is good.

Questions:

Is this going to replace the current chatroom? If so, does this lighten the server load? If not, what is it going to be used for? Will it add to the server load? Can this have more users online than the board chat and is that why the creation?

Not criticizing, just wondering its full purpose. Thanks Markos.
