Nubus June 28, 2004 Share Nubus Member June 28, 2004 Do we have a IRC channel? I am asking becasue when I ran the cs clan we had our own IRC channel (anyone can make one and free) and I found a bot that I linked to my server (took up 1 spectator slot) and anything that happened in the server as far as talking, showing teams score, who killed who, etc showed up in the irc channel. We only used it in matchs (with other teams permission and with access for them to) but it was a way of other people not in the locked server to be able to see what is happing as it happens, also is a excelent way to call for a sub in the event somone drops.

Fatty June 29, 2004 Share Fatty GC Founder June 29, 2004 Slims maintains(ed) our irc...and can do the server status/report thingy you speak of. I am about as anti-irc as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL June 29, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member June 29, 2004 I know HLSW has an IRC bot but I don't know if it works for UT (HLSW shows the UT server and the people playing on it but it is a bit buggy at times so I am not sure if it has full IRC bot support).

bullet-401 July 20, 2004 Share bullet-401 Member July 20, 2004 For matches we should meet in irc a half an hour early or in an AIM chatroom. I felt kind of out of the loop last time and got the password at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head July 20, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member July 20, 2004 ha, what are you talking about...I got the password at the last minute and I had to tell the rest of you. I can't connect to IRC, I've tried many-a-time and I can't get it to connect. It would be nice cause most teams hang out in the IRC channels and sometimes that seems like the only way to get info.

00b3rN00b July 20, 2004 Share 00b3rN00b Member July 20, 2004 what is the problem? do you get any sort of error messages? what client do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head July 20, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member July 20, 2004 I use mIRC and all it does is continue to dial...then get a connection timmed out and it tried another number. It will do that for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL July 21, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member July 21, 2004 Probably need to open/forward the port on your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head July 21, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member July 21, 2004 I don't know how to mess with the ports on my router...it's a piece of junk linksys anyway. I've lived this long without it I suppose I can live longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillow_Head July 22, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member July 22, 2004 I know how to get to the router settings but I'm clueless as to how it all works. To may ports and protocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL July 22, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member July 22, 2004 Hmm, for some reason, the MB won't let me post the whole message I typed out (actually typed it out 3 times and it kept losing it so I went to Notepad to type it out). I will try posting it in parts to see what part it chokes on. Hmm, seems the MB won't let me post a message with "cmd_exe" while the underscore is replaced with a period. Good safety precaution I guess but, dang, it was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL July 22, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member July 22, 2004 Open a dos box (type "cmd" in your "Run" field) and type "ipconfig" in it to get your computer's IP Address. Open your Linksys web admin page in your browser. Click on the "Advanced" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. In the first empty (meaning "0") "Ext. Port" field add "6667" To "6680 (You should probably only need "6667 To 6667" but I always enter a range just in case mIRC needs more). Check both "Protocol TCP" and "Protocol UDP" (mIRC probably only uses TCP but I have not confirmed that in documentation). In the "IP Address" field, add the last octet of your IP Address. Check "Enabled". See image below. This should allow you to connect to an IRC network but since GameSurge is not one of the IRC networks listed in the default mIRC network listing (they had to change their name due to copyright issues), you will have to follow the instructions at the following page to update your mIRC client to add the GamesNet servers to your network list. http://www.gamesurge.net/cms/Client_Update/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head July 22, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member July 22, 2004 That did it, I connected instantly...now to find the channel. Found the cannel, and it looks like dweez is idling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
