IRC Manual (YES WE HAVE IRC)

[Inoue Katsu]

Ordo now has an IRC server

 

server info:

irc.ordoimperialis.com (port 6667)

 

What to do FIRST:

-Register your nickname with Nickserv: /msg nickserv register password email

-Check your spam box, e-mail will probably be in there. (intus do we have an smtp server that is ok to use for ordoimperialis.com ?)

-join #Ordo (this is done for you =p)

-READ THE TOPIC

 

Optional:

register your own personal host name: ex: /msg hostserv request Inoue.Administratio.OrdoImperialis.com

 

Things to know:

 

Officers will be able to OK virtual host names.

ALL host names are protected by default, they will be Ordo-randomstuff.realisp.tld

All vhosts need to be either Ordo or pony related.

#Ordo is the main channel, it will be auto joined

ID to nickserv before joining a public channel!

Do NOT use Mibbit! It puts your real host in the real name!

 

There are IRC Services in place.

The current available services bots are:

 

• Chanserv
• Nickserv
• Hostserv
• Memoserv

You can get commands available to you by typing /msg <botname> help

Chanserv and nickserv are the most frequently used.

Only register your main nick, do not bother with every form of AFK addition you can think of, this is unneeded and will only lead to problems.

 

ROE:

Its our own server so normal Ordo standards and regulations apply

 

Handy mIRC stuff (because thats where I started scripting =p):

 

Remote script:

 

On 1:connect:{
    if ($network == OrdoNet) {
        msg nickserv identify password
        join #Ordo
        join #whatever
    }
}

 

Topic change notifier .. just because it *might* contain useful info =p

Remote:

On *:join:#:{
  if ($nick == $me) {
    .timer 1 5 topiccheck $chan
  }
}

Alias(with colour codes):

topiccheck {
  if ($chan($$1).topic != %topic. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]) {
    echo -at 3 $+ $$1 9Topic has changed since last time!
    echo -at 10Old topic: %topic. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
    echo -at 9New topic: $chan($1).topic
    %topic. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] = $chan($1).topic
  }
}

And it will go:

[20:54:07] #Ordo Topic has changed since last time!
[20:54:07] Old topic: test
[20:54:07] New topic: [Ordo Imperialis] http://forums.ordoimperialis.com - PS2 Ops FRI 6PM / SAT 630 | Please register your nick(again)

 

Don't put the nickserv stuff in your on perform unless it is restricted to a network.

I took #Ordo off auto join as it was putting people into the channel before the virtual host kicked in.

Bumping because YOU SHOULD USE IRC. There are several of us on it throughout the day. Its a great way to idle and chat / kill time.
