GOOD NEWS EVERYONE
WE NOW HAVE NIRC
I setup an IRC server at 24.68.117.47:27033 #Nebtown, and synced it with SRCDS, so you'll be able to chat with players in game through IRC! We average 10-12 people in IRC at any time, so feel free to join to ask tech questions or matchmake for games.
In-Game Example
HOW DO CONNECT?????
0. *I'm too lazy to install anything!*: Click this button to open a Mibbit link (its an in-browser java thing)
1. Get an IRC client. There are dozens, written in Python, for Gentoo Linux. Theres gonna be over a hundred for Windows.
Neb uses Chatzilla, a Firefox addon. The only config you should need to care about is setting your nickname.
Linux users: Chatzilla, XChat, or Weechat (for *coughFormode* purists).
2. For most clients and Chatzilla, use /server 24.68.117.47:27033 to connect.
3. Now you're on the 'server', but you're not actually in a channel yet. Use /join #Nebtown to get in the main one.
Enter any other channel and it'll create it, so feel free to chill there with your estranged friends or something.
Chatzilla'ers may also be interested in:
- a standalone application which is available to remove the need for Firefox to run all the time (since it eats memory).
- placing a button to launch Chatzilla into your Firefox Menu bar (right click the topmost bar -> Customize and drag chatzilla)
- autologging in on launch of chatzilla, by adding the following url to Preferences -> Global Settings -> Startup Tab -> Add an Autoconnect URL.
irc://24.68.117.47:27033/%23Nebtown (clicking this link will also work)
If you drag that link into your bookmarks bar, you can hotlink to NIRC :D
