TRircHowTo

TRirc can be accessed mainly in two different ways.

• By using the in-game web chat client, which connects automatically to TRirc.
• By using your favourite IRC client (such as mIRC, xChat, ChatZilla, irssi, etc.), that you have installed on your computer.

If you use a standalone IRC client, you will need to configure it with the server address and port number listed below under Technical Details. The TRirc server supports a range of common and advanced IRC functionality that you can make use of according to the documentation of your client.

If you use the TR web chat client, you will be automatically connected to the TRirc server and by default be joined to the main channel #reincarnation. The web client is accessible from the main menu (under Society) of each of the game servers, and from the portal server. You can change the default settings and behaviour of the web client including nickname, perform lists and theme on the IRC Options page, which is accessible through the Options page for each mage. The portal based client has a link to its options just under the chat interface.

Technical Details

Connection details for the server are as follows:

• Server address: irc.the-reincarnation.org; alternative: www.the-reincarnation.com
  
• Ports: 6667; alternatives: 6697, 8080
  
  

Common Commands

Command	Alternative	Function
/join #channel [key]	/j #channel [key]	joins the specified #channel, supply key (password) as needed
/part #channel	/part [current]	leaves the specified #channel
/quit [message]		disconnects from the server, with an optional message
/query user	/q user	starts a private conversation with user

/mode #channel +v user [user2 ...]		sets voice status for user (multiple users optional)

Registration

TRirc allows you to protect your nickname by registering it so that only you can use it. In order to register a nickname, make sure it's your current nick and use the following command:

• /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]

Alternatively:

• /ns REGISTER password [e-mail]

Including your e-mail address when registering is optional, but is recommended since it may help you recover your password if it is lost. Unlike when registering on GalaxyNet, you can use any e-mail address to register on TRirc. In order to use your registered nickname in the future, you will need to identify yourself once you have logged in, by using the following command:

• /msg NickServ identify password

It is a good idea to have the identify command executed automatically every time you connect to TRirc. To do this with the web client, simply add the command to the "Perform Commands" field on the IRC Options page. For details of how to use perform lists on a standalone client, see its documentation, google.com or ask around on IRC.

You might also at some point want to register a channel, for example to use it with your guildmates. Registering a channel allows you to make use of TRirc's ChanServ channel service utilities. These correspond approximately to the functionality Q has on GalaxyNet. In order to register a channel you must join it and have operator status, and then give the following command:

• /msg ChanServ REGISTER #channel password description

Alternatively:

• /cs REGISTER #channel password description

Once the channel is registered, you may want to read up on everything ChanServ can help you with, using:

• /msg ChanServ help
