IRC Guide for Archmages

2009-08-13T18:06:39Z

Pooch: /* '''Introduction''' */

='''Introduction'''=
Most players of Archmage and its clones use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) to communicate with other players. IRC is an "Internet Relay Chat" service that allows you to join and create chat rooms called channels. Before there was Yahoo! Chat and instant messaging, there was IRC.

In order to access any IRC network, you will first need to acquire an IRC client software. The most popular IRC client software is mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/). mIRC is free for a 30 day trial period, at which time it will remind you to pay a small registration fee each time you run the program. The instructions in this guide apply specifically to mIRC, and in many cases specifically to GalaxyNet servers. Some other IRC clients, including free ones and those for non-Windows platforms, are listed at the end of this guide.

='''Downloading and Installing mIRC'''=

Download mIRC by following the download link on the publisher’s website (http://www.mirc.com/get.html). Install by running the executable and following the wizard.

='''Connecting to an IRC Network'''=

The first time you launch mIRC, you will be presented with the '''mIRC Options''' dialog box. 
Otherwise you can click '''Tools'''> '''Options'''> to bring it up.

1) Expand the '''Connect''' category in the menu tree to the left, and select '''Servers'''. 

[[Image:Mircservers.JPG]]

2) Select '''GalaxyNet''' from the list of servers. 
3) Select '''Connect''' from the menu tree. 

[[Image:Mircconnect.JPG]]

4) Fill in the '''Full Name''' and '''Email Address''' fields. 
5) Select a '''Nickname''' to use while chatting. 
6) Click the '''Connect''' button. 

Once you click the '''Connect''' button, mIRC will attempt to connect to the selected IRC network, and the '''Favorites''' dialog box will appear.

='''Joining IRC Channels'''=

mIRC understands a series of commands that begin with a forward-slash (/) character followed by the command and any parameters. These commands can be typed into any window in mIRC.

The command to join a new channel is '''/join #channel password'''. 
Example: '''/join #OurSecretChannel ThisIsThePassword'''. 
The channel parameter is required, but many channels do not have a password. You can connect to several channels at a time.

''Special Note: When using the /join command with mIRC, it's always best to use the '''Status''' window in the event that you accidentally make an error in the command.''

='''Register Your Nickname With GalaxyNet'''=

This is specific to the GalaxyNet server.

Registering your nickname with galaxynet will allow you to kick someone offline if they are using your nick. Each time you connect, you can authenticate your nick so that other IRC users can tell if you are not the real owner of that nickname. Having a registered nickname ensures that you always have access to the channels you should have access to, and that nobody else can gain access to a restricted channel by impersonating you. It also gives you access to Q, the GalaxyNet robot.

GalaxyNet requires that you use an ISP email to register your nick. They do not accept yahoo, hotmail, gmail, or any other anonymous email. If your internet service provider has not given you an email account, most emails will work, but once they notice it's not an ISP email you will no longer be able to own, or register a channel, or support a new channel registration.

Each user may register only one nickname, and a nick will be deregistered after 1 month if it is not authenticated.

The command to register a nick is: '''/msg ns register myemail@somewhere.com'''

This will register the nick you are currently using, and an email with your password will be sent to your account. You must use that password to authenticate your nick within 3 days of registering.

The command to auth is: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH <nick> <password>''' 
Example: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH Jack G3kkd5u'''

If you are not using a public computer you can put this command in your mIRC '''Perform''' settings, to automatically authenticate your nick every time you connect.

='''Other Commands'''=

'''/me <action>''' - Can be used to perform an action in chat. 
Example: '''/me slaps Jack around a bit with a large trout''' 

'''/query <nick>''' - Used to open a private message chat window. 
Example: '''/query Jack''' 

'''/notice <#channel> <message>''' - Send a beeping alert to all users on a channel. 
Example: '''/notice #OurSecretChannel Somebody spell God (#0) please, he just attacked me!''' 

'''/server <-m> <server>''' - This command can be used to connect to a server. 
If the -m parameter is set, mIRC will open a new connection, without disturbing the connection you have already established. 
If the server parameter is not set, mIRC will connect you to the last server you were connected to. 
Example: '''/server galaxynet''' 

 

'''Q Commands''' 
Q is the galaxynet robot that looks after registered channels. 
You must be registered and authenticated to use Q.

'''/msg q gaccess''' - Shows you a list of which channels you have been given access to.

'''/msg q key #channel''' - Requests the key for a private channel.

'''/msg q opme''' - Request operator status in all channels where you have enough access.

'''/msg q invite #channel''' - Request an invitation to an invite only channel.

'''/msg q whois <nick>''' - Check if this user is registered and authenticated.

='''Setting Up Your Perform'''=

mIRC allows you to set one or more commands that will be performed automatically each time you connect. Usually this feature is used to authenticate your registered nick, but you could use it to join channels, or for any number of other commands that you want to use every time a connection is established.

1) Go to '''Tools'''> '''Options>''' To pull up the Options menu. 
2) Expand the '''Connect''' category in the menu tree on the left, and select '''Options'''. 
3) Click '''Perform''' 

[[Image:Mircperform.JPG]]

4) Tick the '''Enable perform on connect''' box. 
5) Click '''Add''', and select '''GalaxyNet''' from the server list. 
6) Paste the AUTH command into the text box, with your registered nickname and password. 
Example: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH Jack G3kkd5u''' 
7) Click '''OK'''. 
8) Click '''OK''' again. 

Each new command you put in your perform should be on a new line.

='''IRC Etiquette'''=

First and foremost, it is not polite to type in all capital letters on IRC. This is interpreted as yelling. Under normal circumstances, keep the caps-lock key off.

Second, '''AOLbonics''' are generally frowned upon in IRC channels. This is the term used to describe replacing full words with shortened versions such as “u” for “you” and “2” for “too”. In AOLbonics, the phrase “I’ll see you later” is written “I’ll c u l8r”. Particularly for Archmagers, GalaxyNet is a multi-national network though is conducted, primarily, in English. For many of the users, English is not the first language and such truncation is confusing.

Abbreviations are generally fine. Abbreviations are common phrases used to shorten longer phrase. “I’ll be back later” is sometimes written as “bbl” and “I’ll talk to you later” is sometimes written as “ttyl”. If someone uses an abbreviation and you don’t know what it means, simply ask them.

='''Some Other IRC Clients'''=

As promised, here are some other IRC clients. Read the documentation for the client you choose to understand how to use it. By far, these are not the only clients available. A search on your favorite search engine will likely turn up many more.

'''Web IRC:''' 
- Mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/chat/) - Galaxynet tends to ban it, so it can be unreliable. 
- Chatzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16) - Nifty IRC addon for firefox. 
 
'''For Windows:''' 
- IceChat (Free - http://www.icechat.net/) 
- Xircon (Free no longer maintained – http://www.xircon.com/) 
- X-Chat (Shareware – http://www.xchat.org/) 
 
'''For Linux:'''

6) Click the '''Connect''' button. 

Once you click the '''Connect''' button, mIRC will attempt to connect to the selected IRC network, and the '''Favorites''' dialog box will appear.

='''Joining IRC Channels'''=

mIRC understands a series of commands that begin with a forward-slash (/) character followed by the command and any parameters. These commands can be typed into any window in mIRC.

The command to join a new channel is '''/join #channel password'''. 
Example: '''/join #OurSecretChannel ThisIsThePassword'''. 
The channel parameter is required, but many channels do not have a password. You can connect to several channels at a time.

''Special Note: When using the /join command with mIRC, it's always best to use the '''Status''' window in the event that you accidentally make an error in the command.''

='''Register Your Nickname With GalaxyNet'''=

This is specific to the GalaxyNet server.

Registering your nickname with galaxynet will allow you to kick someone offline if they are using your nick. Each time you connect, you can authenticate your nick so that other IRC users can tell if you are not the real owner of that nickname. Having a registered nickname ensures that you always have access to the channels you should have access to, and that nobody else can gain access to a restricted channel by impersonating you.

GalaxyNet requires that you use an ISP email to register your nick. They do not accept yahoo, hotmail, gmail, or any other anonymous email. If your internet service provider has not given you an email account, most emails will work, but once they notice it's not an ISP email you will no longer be able to own, or register a channel, or support a new channel registration.

Each user may register only one nickname, and a nick will be deregistered after 1 month if it is not authenticated.

The command to register a nick is: '''/msg ns register myemail@somewhere.com'''

This will register the nick you are currently using, and an email with your password will be sent to your account. You must use that password to authenticate your nick within 3 days of registering.

The command to auth is: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH <nick> <password>''' 
Example: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH Jack G3kkd5u'''

If you are not using a public computer you can put this command in your mIRC '''Perform''' settings, to automatically authenticate your nick every time you connect.

='''Other Commands'''=

'''/me <action>''' - Can be used to perform an action in chat. 
Example: '''/me slaps Jack around a bit with a large trout''' 

'''/query <nick>''' - Used to open a private message chat window. 
Example: '''/query Jack''' 

'''/notice <#channel> <message>''' - Send a beeping alert to all users on a channel. 
Example: '''/notice #OurSecretChannel Somebody spell God (#0) please, he just attacked me!''' 

'''/server <-m> <server>''' - This command can be used to connect to a server. 
If the -m parameter is set, mIRC will open a new connection, without disturbing the connection you have already established. 
If the server parameter is not set, mIRC will connect you to the last server you were connected to. 
Example: '''/server galaxynet''' 

 

'''Q Commands'''
Q is the galaxynet robot that looks after registered channels. 
You must be registered and authenticated to use Q.

'''/msg q gaccess''' - Shows you a list of which channels you have been given access to.

'''/msg q key #channel''' - Requests the key for a private channel.

'''/msg q opme''' - Request operator status in all channels where you have enough access.

'''/msg q invite #channel''' - Request an invitation to an invite only channel.

'''/msg q whois <nick>''' - Check if this user is registered and authenticated.

='''Setting Up Your Perform'''=

mIRC allows you to set one or more commands that will be performed automatically each time you connect. Usually this feature is used to authenticate your registered nick, but you could use it to join channels, or for any number of other commands that you want to use every time a connection is established.

1) Go to '''Tools'''> '''Options>''' To pull up the Options menu. 
2) Expand the '''Connect''' category in the menu tree on the left, and select '''Options'''. 
3) Click '''Perform''' 

[[Image:Mircperform.JPG]]

4) Tick the '''Enable perform on connect''' box. 
5) Click '''Add''', and select '''GalaxyNet''' from the server list. 
6) Paste the AUTH command into the text box, with your registered nickname and password. 
Example: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH Jack G3kkd5u''' 
7) Click '''OK'''. 
8) Click '''OK''' again. 

Each new command you put in your perform should be on a new line.

='''IRC Etiquette'''=

First and foremost, it is not polite to type in all capital letters on IRC. This is interpreted as yelling. Under normal circumstances, keep the caps-lock key off.

Second, '''AOLbonics''' are generally frowned upon in IRC channels. This is the term used to describe replacing full words with shortened versions such as “u” for “you” and “2” for “too”. In AOLbonics, the phrase “I’ll see you later” is written “I’ll c u l8r”. Particularly for Archmagers, GalaxyNet is a multi-national network though is conducted, primarily, in English. For many of the users, English is not the first language and such truncation is confusing.

Abbreviations are generally fine. Abbreviations are common phrases used to shorten longer phrase. “I’ll be back later” is sometimes written as “bbl” and “I’ll talk to you later” is sometimes written as “ttyl”. If someone uses an abbreviation and you don’t know what it means, simply ask them.

='''Some Other IRC Clients'''=

As promised, here are some other IRC clients. Read the documentation for the client you choose to understand how to use it. By far, these are not the only clients available. A search on your favorite search engine will likely turn up many more.

'''Web IRC:''' 
- Mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/chat/) - Galaxynet tends to ban it, so it can be unreliable. 
- Chatzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16) - Nifty IRC addon for firefox. 
 
'''For Windows:'''

='''Introduction'''=
Most players of Archmage and its clones use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) to communicate with other players. IRC is an "Internet Relay Chat" service that allows you to join and create chat rooms called channels. Before there was Yahoo! Chat and instant messaging, there was IRC.

In order to access any IRC network, you will first need to acquire an IRC client software. The most popular IRC client software is mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/). mIRC is free for a 30 day trial period, at which time it will remind you to pay a small registration fee each time you run the program. The instructions in this guide apply specifically to mIRC. Some other IRC clients, including free ones and those for non-Windows platforms, are listed at the end of this guide.

='''Downloading and Installing mIRC'''=

Download mIRC by following the download link on the publisher’s website (http://www.mirc.com/get.html). Install by running the executable and following the wizard.

='''Connecting to an IRC Network'''=

The first time you launch mIRC, you will be presented with the '''mIRC Options''' dialog box.

='''Connecting to an IRC Network'''=

The first time you launch mIRC, you will be presented with the '''mIRC Options''' dialog box. 
Otherwise you can click '''Tools'''> '''Options'''> to bring it up.

1) Expand the '''Connect''' category in the menu tree to the left, and select '''Servers'''. 

[[Image:Mircservers.JPG]]

2) Select '''GalaxyNet''' from the list of servers. 
3) Select '''Connect''' from the menu tree. 

[[Image:Mircconnect.JPG]]

4) Fill in the '''Full Name''' and '''Email Address''' fields. 
5) Select a '''Nickname''' to use while chatting. 
6) Click the '''Connect''' button. 

Once you click the '''Connect''' button, mIRC will attempt to connect to the selected IRC network, and the '''Favorites''' dialog box will appear.

='''Joining IRC Channels'''=

mIRC understands a series of commands that begin with a forward-slash (/) character followed by the command and any parameters. These commands can be typed into any window in mIRC.

The command to join a new channel is '''/join #channel password'''. 
Example: '''/join #OurSecretChannel ThisIsThePassword'''. 
The channel parameter is required, but many channels do not have a password. You can connect to several channels at a time.

''Special Note: When using the /join command with mIRC, it's always best to use the '''Status''' window in the event that you accidentally make an error in the command.''

='''Register Your Nickname With GalaxyNet'''=

This is specific to the GalaxyNet server.

Registering your nickname with galaxynet will allow you to kick someone offline if they are using your nick. Each time you connect, you can authenticate your nick so that other IRC users can tell if you are not the real owner of that nickname. Having a registered nickname ensures that you always have access to the channels you should have access to, and that nobody else can gain access to a restricted channel by impersonating you.

GalaxyNet requires that you use an ISP email to register your nick. They do not accept yahoo, hotmail, gmail, or any other anonymous email. If your internet service provider has not given you an email account, most emails will work, but once they notice it's not an ISP email you will no longer be able to own, or register a channel, or support a new channel registration.

Each user may register only one nickname, and a nick will be deregistered after 1 month if it is not authenticated.

The command to register a nick is: '''/msg ns register myemail@somewhere.com'''

This will register the nick you are currently using, and an email with your password will be sent to your account. You must use that password to authenticate your nick within 3 days of registering.

The command to auth is: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH <nick> <password>''' 
Example: '''/MSG NS@services.galaxynet.org AUTH Jack G3kkd5u'''

If you are not using a public computer you can put this command in your mIRC '''Perform''' settings, to automatically authenticate your nick every time you connect.

='''Other Commands'''=

'''/me <action>''' - Can be used to perform an action in chat. 
Example: '''/me slaps Jack around a bit with a large trout''' 

'''/query <nick>''' - Used to open a private message chat window. 
Example: '''/query Jack''' 

'''/notice <#channel> <message>''' - Send a beeping alert to all users on a channel. 
Example: '''/notice #OurSecretChannel Somebody spell God (#0) please, he just attacked me!''' 

'''/server <-m> <server>''' - This command can be used to connect to a server. 
If the -m parameter is set, mIRC will open a new connection, without disturbing the connection you have already established. 
If the server parameter is not set, mIRC will connect you to the last server you were connected to. 
Example: '''/server galaxynet''' 

='''Some IRC Etiquette and Fun Stuff'''=

First and foremost, it is not polite to type in all capital letters on IRC. This is interpreted as yelling. Under normal circumstances, keep the caps-lock key off.

Second, '''AOLbonics''' are generally frowned upon in IRC channels. This is the term used to describe replacing full words with shortened versions such as “u” for “you” and “2” for “too”. In AOLbonics, the phrase “I’ll see you later” is written “I’ll c u l8r”. Particularly for Archmagers, GalaxyNet is a multi-national network though is conducted, primarily, in English. For many of the users, English is not the first language and such truncation is confusing.

Abbreviations are generally fine. Abbreviations are common phrases used to shorten longer phrase. “I’ll be back later” is sometimes written as “bbl” and “I’ll talk to you later” is sometimes written as “ttyl”. If someone uses an abbreviation and you don’t know what it means, simply ask them.

='''Some Other IRC Clients'''=

As promised, here are some other IRC clients. Read the documentation for the client you choose to understand how to use it. By far, these are not the only clients available. A search on your favorite search engine will likely turn up many more.

'''For Windows:''' 
- IceChat (Free - http://www.icechat.net/) 
- Xircon (Free no longer maintained – http://www.xircon.com/)

IRC Guide for Archmages

2009-08-13T16:55:17Z

Pooch:

='''Introduction'''=
Most players of Archmage and its clones use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) to communicate with other players. IRC is an "Internet Relay Chat" service that allows you to join and create chat rooms called channels. Before there was Yahoo! Chat and instant messaging, there was IRC.

In order to access any IRC network, you will first need to acquire an IRC client software. The most popular IRC client software is mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/). mIRC is free for a 30 day trial period, at which time it will remind you to pay a small registration fee each time you run the program. The instructions in this guide apply specifically to mIRC. Some other IRC clients, including free ones and those for non-Windows platforms, are listed at the end of this guide.

='''Downloading and Installing mIRC'''=

Download mIRC by following the download link on the publisher’s website (http://www.mirc.com/get.html). Install by running the executable and following the wizard.

='''Connecting to an IRC Network'''=

Unique Items

2009-04-28T08:53:25Z

Pooch: /* Unique Items */

{{Navigation}}

'''[[Unique Items#Unique Items|Unique Item Shortlist]] down below'''
=Introduction=
A Unique Item means it is a rare item of which there is max one in the game at any time.

They are released through [[Treasure Map]] and [[Treasure Chest]] (shortly into a game round, none of them are present) and once in the game, can be sold, stolen, lost, used - but they cannot be pillaged. When no-one owns the item, it has a chance to get back in the game through [[Treasure Map]], [[Treasure Chest]] and [[Black Market]] again. Unique items go through [[barriers]] just like non-unique items. E.g.: an [[Atomic Bomb]] can be blocked.

Possessing some [[Unique Items]] is very comparable to having an [[enchantments|enchantment]] running.
Other [[Unique Items]] need to be used in battle. Others are operated using ''Use item''. Others charge and can only be used once every hundred or so [[turns]].

Notes:
* [[Holy Grail]] - There are five unique holy grails, meaning there can be FIVE items with this title in existence at a time (one of each).
* A Unique that is on the [[Black Market]] is not in the game, if you get a unique while that one is also for sale... you'll lose it soon as the selling one gets into the game. This makes [[Efreeti Bottle]] and [[Holy Grail]]s stay in your possesion for a brief time only.

=How to get?=
There are various ways to get Unique Items:
* buy on [[Black Market]]
* get them from [[Treasure Map]] or [[Treasure Chest]] (1-2% chance each time - best if you are in the NP range of someone owning the unique)
** at very beginning of a game round noone has any unique: treasure maps/chests hand them out (randomly), when you win one, it is nobodies loss.
** a ~month into the game all uniques are in posession of mages: when treasure maps give some mage a unique (randomly), another mage loses it (consequently).

* steal them with [[Letters of the Thieves Guild]]
* miscellaneous
** [[Holy Grail]]s you get from [[Blood Stained Map]]s, but can also be obtained just like any other unique.
** [[Efreeti Bottle]]s, Phantasm mages can get from [[Wish]].
* No, [[guilds|guilds]] built on your land do not produce them, they only make [[Items|Lesser items]].

There are unfortunately also some ways to lose a Unique:
* Whenever someone successfully uses [[Treasure Map]] or [[Treasure Chest]], and no Unique is in the empty pool, someone on Terra will lose his unique to the user, IF the previous user is in a certain NP range of the item user. If not, you get a rather shitty message saying no uniques are currently available..
* Whenever someone uses a [[Letters of the Thieves Guild]] on you, you got a 1% risk to lose the Unique.
** If you got ''N'' uniques, you got approximately ''N''% risk to lose it. Just don't be gready that means ;-)

</td></tr>

<tr><td>[[Holy Grail]]
</td><td>
There are five different ones in the game - 5 unique holy grails. One serves for each mage colour. So you only have use for one of the grails.

* The human skull : Nether
* Gemstudded silver chalice : Phantasm

Notes:
* Will disappear whenever someone successfully uses [[Blood Stained Map]] and wins your grail (1/5 chance, happens mostly within 12-24 hours).

=Internet Relay Chat (IRC)=

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It allows to communicate over networks of servers. People connect to the network as 'clients' using a program on their PC. People who own servers can run IRC serverprograms and setup networks where any person can connect to. TR staff has become that kind of people.

=IRC networks used by TR players=
By the TR's player community, two IRC networks are traditionally used
* since 1997: GalaxyNet [http://www.galaxynet.org] IRC service
:: Server: [irc://irc.galaxynet.org irc.galaxynet.org] and many others | [[Guides#GalaxyNet and TR IRC|Connection setup help]]
:: Main channel for TR players: <nowiki>#reincarnation</nowiki>

* since 2008: The Reincarnation is setting up it's own IRC service.
:: Server: [irc://www.the-reincarnation.com:6697 www.the-reincarnation.com], Port: 6697 | [[IRC mIRC|Connection setup help]]
:: Main channel for TR players: <nowiki>#reincarnation</nowiki>

=Some very basic things to know about IRC=
* names of connected people are known as ''nicks''
:: you usually register your nick once you join a chat server the first time
:: you usually identify your self using a password every day you connect to the chat server
* chatrooms / chatboxes etc. are called ''channels'' on IRC, and have a <nowiki>#</nowiki> in front of their <nowiki>#name</nowiki>.
* channel moderators are called ''ops' or ''opers'', and have an @ in front of their nick, or a ~ or a &. Nicks with a + infront of them have ''voice'' meaning you cannot set your software to ignore what they say in a <nowiki>#channel</nowiki>. All these prefixes are set on a <nowiki>#channel</nowiki> by <nowiki>#channel</nowiki> basis.
* some connected nicks are not people but ''bots'', i.e. computer programs. You can give them commands, such as invite me to <nowiki>#mysecretchannel</nowiki>
:: some people like programming their own bots, with varying success. Example: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYQUsp-jxDQ This clip on YouTube]
* if you type in text and press enter... you have chatted
* if you start a chatline with a /, you are giving a command to the IRC server.
:: if the command makes sense and you have the right access levels, it works.
:: otherwise the IRC server will echo back that it did not understand you and points you to help
* On start up, the regular IRC user lets the program perform a series of commands automatically, such as ''identify me'' and ''join my favorite channels''.

=Installing and setting up IRC chatsoftware=
* There are several options, but most players use [http://www.mirc.com mIRC].
:: See the guides [[Guides#GalaxyNet_and_TR_IRC|here]]!

* '''I use mIRC all the time, I just want to connect to the new server'''
:: [[IRC mIRC|See this page for that!]]

* '''I used Galaxynet all the time, I need to know some commands for TR's server'''
:: [[IRC_NickCommands | Nick commands]] for creating a nick and authenticating it 
:: [[IRC_ChanCommands | Channel commands]] for creating a channel and maintaining it

==Internet Relay Chat ([[IRC |IRC]]) - Channel Commands==

===What is a Channel?===
If IRC is thought of as a house, then channels are like rooms in the house. The only difference is that you can be in several channels at the same time. In order to talk with a group of people you will need to be in a channel together. Some channels are public, meaning anyone can enter, and some are private and can restrict access to approved nicks. Channels must meet the following guidelines:

* Must not contain offensive words or vulgarities
* May not contain the following words anywhere within it:
** Admin
** Oper
** Root

===Registering a Channel===

Registering a channel makes it "yours" and allows you to maintain the channel. You may give out operator status to those you choose, restrict the channel, and even make it private.

To register your channel:

* Create your channel by joining it
** Example: /join #ThisChannelRocks
* Use the following command: /msg chanserv register <#channel> <pwd> <description>
** Example: /msg chanserv register #ThisChannelRocks SomePassword This Channel Rocks! It is uber kena!

The channel must be created before it may be registered, and it must not already be registered. 
The password must be at least 5 characters. It is best to use both upper and lower case letters and numbers. 
The description can be anything you want. Ideally it will describe the channel's purpose to others. 
Channels will be dropped after 60 days if not used. 
Each user may own a maximum of 2 channels.

===Basic channel settings===

You can restrict access to those in your channel access list.
* To set and unset type: /msg chanserv set #channel restricted <on|off>
** Example: /msg chanserv set #MyChannel restricted on
 
To limit kick/ban/remove powers of each user level to the level below it
* /msg chanserv set #Channel peace <on|off>
 
To hide your channel from the LIST command
* Type: /msg chanserv set #channel private <on|off>
 
To hide your channel from the WHOIS command
* Type: /mode #channel +s
 
To set successor in case the channel owner disappears
* Type: /msg chanserv set #channel successor <nick>
If the channel owner loses the channel it is passed on to the successor, or deregistered if the successor already owns 2 channels.

===Access levels===

There are two different systems for giving access on a channel. 
With XOP on access is granted through voice, halfops, ops & superops. 
With XOP off you can assign access levels to each user and their rank will determine their level of control. Ranks range from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest.

* To turn XOP on and off: /msg chanserv set #channel XOP <on|off>
* List users who have access: /msg chanserv access #channel list
 
Giving/removing access with XOP on:
* SuperOps: /msg chanserv sop #channel <add|del> <nick>
* Operators: /msg chanserv aop #channel <add|del> <nick>
* Halfops: /msg chanserv hop #channel <add|del> <nick>
* Voice: /msg chanserv vop #channel <add|del> <nick>
** Example: /msg chanserv sop #MyCoolChannel ADD Elva
 
Giving/removing access with XOP off:
* Giving access: /msg chanserv access #channel ADD <nick> <level>
** Example: /msg chanserv access #MyCoolChannel ADD Elva 8
* Removing access: /msg chanserv access #channel DEL <nick>
** Example: /msg chanserv access #MyCoolChannel DEL Elva
* Removing all users: /msg chanserv access #channel clear

Pooch:

==Internet Relay Chat ([[IRC |IRC]]) - Nick Commands==

===What is a Nick?===
A nick is what people will recognize you as when you join a channel. It is your screen name and can be anything that you want withing reason. Nicks must meet the following guidelines:

* Must not contain offensive words or vulgarities
* May not contain "admin" anywhere within it
* Must be 30 characters or shorter

===Registering a Nick===

Registering a nick makes it "yours" and allows you to be invited to restricted channels, register channels, and be identified as who you say you are.

To register your nick:

* Change your nick to what you would like it to be registered as using the /nick command
** Example: /nick DeathDealer
* Use the following command: /msg nickserv register <pwd> <email>
** Example: /msg nickserv register ThisIsMyPwd somejoe@anywhere.com

The password must be a minimum of 5 characters. It is best to use both upper and lower case letters and numbers. 
The email address must belong to you, but we will accept "free based" emails such as gmail, yahoo, msn, hotmail, etc. 
Nicks will be deregistered after 60 days if not used.

===Identify===
Each time you use your registered nick you will need to identify yourself so that nickserv recognises you.

* Type /msg nickserv identify <password>
** Example: /msg nickserv identify ThisIsMyPwd

If you change to a nick that is not registered to you, or if you get disconnected from the server nickserv will forget who you are and you will need to identify again.

===Groups===

Once you have a registered your first nick you can choose up to 7 additional nicks and add them to your group. 
All nicks in your group will be subject to the same settings as your original nick.

* Change your nick to the one you want to add to your group using the /nick command
** Example: /nick NewNick
* Use the following command: /msg nickserv group <original nick> <password>
** Example: /msg nickserv group DeathDealer ThisIsMyPwd

You need not register your additional nicks before adding them to your group, they will be automatically registered to you when you add them. 
If your additional nick is already registered you will lose any settings and access when you add it to the group. 
You can change your nick to others within your group without nickserv "forgetting" who you are. 

* To list nicks in your group type /msg nickserv glist

===Deregistering a nick===
When you deregister a nick you will lose all access and settings associated with that nick.

* Type /msg nickserv drop <nick>

===Retrieve a lost password===

To retrieve your password if you lost it:

* Contact an IRCop using the cmd /helpop <msg>
** Example - /helpop I lost my password, can someone help me retrieve it?

Please be nice to the IRCops. They are volunteering their time to help users with problems. If you are not answered shortly it is because an IRCop is not active at the moment. Please try again later.

The IRCop will be able to have the nick services send to you your password. It will be sent to the e-mail address that you used to register your nick. When you receive it identify yourself (/msg nickserv identify <pwd>) and keep your password safe.

NOTE: IRCops do not need your password, are unable to see your password, and should never ask for your password. Do not offer to tell them your password, and if an IRCop asks for your password please report it to a Services Operator.

Pooch: /* Registering a Channel */

==Internet Relay Chat ([[IRC |IRC]]) - Channel Commands==

===What is a Channel?===
If IRC is thought of as a house, then channels are like rooms in the house. The only difference is that you can be in several channels at the same time. In order to talk with a group of people you will need to be in a channel together. Some channels are public, meaning anyone can enter, and some are private and can restrict access to approved nicks. Channels must meet the following guidelines:

* Must not contain offensive words or vulgarities
* May not contain the following words anywhere within it:
** Admin
** Oper
** Root

===Registering a Channel===

Registering a channel makes it "yours" and allows you to maintain the channel. You may give out operator status to those you choose, restrict the channel, and even make it private.

To register your channel:

* Create your channel by joining it
** Example: /join #ThisChannelRocks
* Use the following command: /msg chanserv register <#channel> <pwd> <description>
** Example: /msg chanserv register #ThisChannelRocks SomePassword This Channel Rocks! It is uber kena!

The channel must be created before it may be registered, and it must not already be registered.
The password must be at least 5 characters. It is best to use both upper and lower case letters and numbers. 
The description can be anything you want. Ideally it will describe the channel's purpose to others. 
Channels will be deregistered after 60 days if not used.

===Basic channel settings===

You can restrict access to those in your channel access list.
* To set and unset type: /msg chanserv set #channel restricted <on|off>
** Example: /msg chanserv set #MyChannel restricted on
 
To limit kick/ban/remove powers of each user level to the level below it
* /msg chanserv set #Channel peace <on|off>
 
To hide your channel from the LIST command
* Type: /msg chanserv set #channel private <on|off>
 
To hide your channel from the WHOIS command
* Type: /mode #channel +s
