Help with DC IRC Chat Server please, Thank you. [solved]
« on: September 30, 2018, 05:58 AM »
...i hope i am in the right place to post this...

Hello fellas,

today i've tried to use DC-Chat feature, was unsuccessful, Browser (https) always close the chat window.
So i've tried installing IRC Client (nettalk i've picked), entered "freenode.net" as server on port "6667".
Tried with and without UTF-8 encoding, but cannot build up a connection to server "freenode.net".

So my question, is that server running at all and does your channel still exist?



Best regards,

KodeZwerg

It is not. chat.freenode.net is the entry point for the various servers in the network named freenode.net.

That sound plausible, still a bit confusing if you start with given server and nothing happen, just a "failed to connect".
Your "chat." prefix works for me very good, it chooses during connect another server, at least i can connect.
Now i need to figure out how i can send a message in that room, registered to that network i am.

ATM i am more than helpless. I keep getting - Cannot send to nick/channel (#donationcoder), whatever i type.
I am in nettalk client in room #donationcoder, a ChanServ whispered me on entering, at that point i cant do anything.
By looking connected People, i see that there are Admins with @ symbol, Users with + sign and me where just name is shown.

Do i need to register somewhere else to be able to actually write something?

I haven't checked lately, but it might be that you need + in the channel to speak.

If i just would know how to gain or see legends of what what means. Or what rights i currently have in that room.
So many questions if youre interested new to that materia and things dont selfexplain itself enough, at least the error line is nice red displayed even if useless if you dont know what you've done wrong at that point.

Thank you for your time and trying to help me!

On freenode, it is easy: You can have voice (+, the flag is "v"), be an operator (@, includes voice, the flag is "o") or a channel owner (which you would know).  :D

Thank you for voice hint, by reading IRC commands, i ended up here "/mode #donationcoder +v KodeZwerg" with red "You're not a channel operator (#donationcoder)" answer.
I guess i cant do anything on my own, or any advice what i should do from point "connected to server -> joined room"?

Indeed, you cannot voice yourself. That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

yep, we currently have the channel on a setting that requires us to manually enable their ability to speak.

Old blood is usually scared off by people who "earned" operator rights in the DC channel.
