i would attempt to use this, but it seems a little complicated, and so far ive had no luck in even bringing up whatever it is thats supposed to come up.

its probably because im doing something wrong though

All you really need to do:

1) click the link in the first post
2) type a name in the box
3) click connect.

can you write detailed instructions?

I had to do it, I was literally losing sleep over this.

:goodjob:

Shouldn't this be pinned? The IRC channel sounds like a great place to ask simple questions that don't need a separate thread or would require digging up old threads. Also, having this on the first page might help getting people in the channel

yes.... it "should" be pinned!

but ppl wont see it.. and we'll still have to write tuts for installing mods :shakehead:

maybe we just keep bumping it? :facepalm:

That is probably the number one thing I'd like to see out of this. Silly questions are best answered in real time.

bump, so people can see this.

*ahem* here ya go, at least it's a legitimate bump.

:swear:

So, is there any time when actually something interesting is going on on there?

We have had some pretty sweet discussions about lore and it is a great place to field questions about modding in general.

I have a gift for those who are not very familiar with IRC and would like to be able to use this without the hassle of getting a client:

http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/tesirc.php

That will always connect you right to this channel. Membership at GHF is required for it to work.

Oh, and I do intend to make a permanent link at GHF for this along with one to the GHF channel in the very near future.

Enjoy!

the man.

Here's the link to the sticky thread at GHF (just an FYI for you:) http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3524

Awesome, fligg! I'm honored.

Glad to oblige. :hehe:

Please note that we are still working out the bugs in this thing. It doesn't seem to send some of the commands properly right now, and there are a few other things we plan to add. So consider it a bit of WIP. But it does work for just chatting right now.

Also, do you guys know of other TES-related IRC channels. I know I've read reference to some, but I'd like to have the channel names and servers for this project.

#tamriel (TR's crime ring)
#elder scrolls


bte enzo, it keeps saying i'm banned, though i'm not.. right?

you might connect through a couple of hosts. I need to clear out the ban list. I'll get on it as soon as I am back on a real client.

The GHF client wasn't allowing most commands to be sent. I'm working on resolving that now, so you'll be able to send any commands you need.

Finnish TES forum has a channel named #TESFinland on Quakenet.

Aside from #tamriel and #elderscrolls, #til is popular among people who were interested in doing lore stuff, but I think it has dwindled a bit.

'bout time there was a #morrowind. Nice work on making the channel! :foodndrink:


For anyone interested, I've been working the past few days on a bot for the #morrowind and #ghf* channels. It's running right now, actually. Feel free to play with it.

It's not the most terribly powerful or fully featured bot, but it can do a few things that might be helpful. I was told I should write a tutorial or help on it, so I'm mentioning it here and including that:

Any command to the bot from an open channel needs to start with !tesbot. You can send it private messages, those need not use the prefix. The built-in commands help and help {command} will give you a list of commands and the info and syntax for a particular command, respectively. The names and syntax of some commands is a bit wonky, but I'm working to smooth it out.

Currently the most useful commands are/will be:

!tesbot help

: prints a list of commands

!tesbot help {command}

: prints the syntax and description of a command

!tesbot syntax {script function}

: looks up a script command and gives you the syntax and a brief description. Basically MWSfD embedded into the channel. I'm still filling the DB with info, so only some commands are recognized.

!tesbot write note {tag} in {pad} "{note}"

: records a brief note in the notepad. Notes are identified by a tag/pad, the combo must be unique (one note with each tag in each pad). The note can contain any character except for ' or ", the tag and pad must be alphanumeric. I'm not sure if there's a length limit, but it's probably not short.

!tesbot get note {tag} from {pad}

: reads a note back

!tesbot read note {tag} from {pad}

: same as above

!tesbot edit note {tag} in {pad} into "{note}"

: edits a note (or creates one if it doesn't exist). Writing a note will give you an error if you use a tag that's been taken, this won't. Same rules for tag/pad/note as writing.

!tesbot erase note {tag} from {pad}

: erases a note.

He should be running whenever my secondary desktop is on, usually 24/7. Don't worry about taking a lot of notes or bandwidth/storage issues, I have plenty of bandwidth (20mbit, 250gig/month) and the data is all stored in a SQLite database (I have 60+ gigs of free space and notes take <1kb, on average). If anyone wants to see the source, I'll send it over.

Hopefully this little bugger can be useful.
