It's obvious that we need some way to communicate in a more free form manner from time to time. Setting up multiplayer games, talking about the site, general chit-chat, whatever. I had set up a channel but it seems some people who would like to use the service have difficulty either with the software or connecting to the ROTT channel. After talking to Stathmk last night he inspired me to look into Mibbit. This is an web based IRC client that can be used in ANY browser. It's not the most feature-filled but it does work and I think will suit our immediate needs. So without further ado here is the link:


ROTT IRC Chat


All you have to do is click on the link, pick a nickname and then your on! I'll also add this to my sig for convenience.

For all others who want to use their client of choice the new channel is here:

irc://irc.mibbit.net/ROTT

I hope this is a little more successful and I also hope to see some of you guys on there! Smile

The link works, and was much faster than the other one... Very nice.

Do you plan to put in any bots..?

If you have a decent connection to the internet and an enormous amount of average uptime, then you could host one yourself, like Eggdrop (I've used this one before)

Or if you don't have a computer or connection like that, you could get a shell account from a Shell Provider... You can find a list of them here.

Edit: Changed link to free providers.

Mmmm, I tried this Mibbit thing, and once it loads and I change the nickname to 'Mike' I get the error:

irc.mibbit.net/: Could not resolve hostname.

I was trying using the web page.
I got it working, but it was a hassle.
I went to the page, and once it loaded, I changed the default nick to "Mike" and click GO. I immediately get the error

irc.mibbit.net/: Could not resolve hostname.

I dismiss the error, go back and see that the channel box has been emptied, so I have to type #ROTT into it and click GO again. THEN it lets me in.
Then I find I don't like the look and feel it so, so...
Screw it, I'm the chat room now, using chatzilla, which works just fine. Smile

Thanks,

-Mike

The problem was Per-Scan's link... I fixed it for him, it should work now.

Also, stickied.

So that was you that stickied these...I was wondering what was going on and if I was losing it Razz

Oh and Per-Scan should change his sig's link as well.

It appears there's a little confusion now that there's two IRC channels. That's entirely my fault as I created one thinking it would be okay and then quickly afterwards found a better solution... Rolling Eyes

So, to clarify, the IRC channel on IRCNet is now defunct. From now on the only 'official' channel will be the Mibbit link here:

irc://irc.mibbit.net/ROTT

It's also in the first post and happens to be my (now corrected twice!) signature. Speak to you all soon Razz

PS: I'm looking into the bots thing. Wish me luck! Smile

I started trying to configure one Eggdrop bot on Shellmixer... Needless to say, I didn't fare well. Gotta check the settings again.

Yeah, I'm not having much success with a bot (eggdrop) either... I'm sure we'll get there though. Smile
