New to running an IRC channel on irc.utassault.net? This guide is for people who want to understand more about the services available on IRC.
First of all you'll start to find out everything is done with private messages to bots which control registrations and settings. They are pretty feature packed and offer quite a lot of control over what happens in your channel. These bots are called:
Nickserv
Allows you to registered your nickname to prevent other people from using it and to recover it if they do. Everytime you connect to utassault.nets IRC network you will need to identify to Nickserv with your password so that you Nickserv knows who you are really you!
Chanserv
Lets you register a #channel for you or your clan. You must have already registered your nickname before you can register a channel. Chanserv ensures that channel operator (@) modes are set for you and anyone else you permit.
Memoserv
This bot offers a way to send messages to other registered users on IRC even if they are offline. When the recipient does come online and identifies with Nickserv, Memoserv will alert them to the memo they have waiting.
Botserv
Is an interface to assign a bot which will appear in your channel. By default Chanserv will set modes and be used for other services features. Botserve allows you to have a differnet bot active in your channel instead of Chanserv.
Each one can be used by sending it a Private Message or query in this format:
/msg Nickserv help
The above command can be typed anywhere in mIRC, which in this example is asking Nickserv to display help, a list of commands which we can use. These services send back notices as their response, if nothing seems to happen when you try the example above, check the Status Window in mIRC if notices are not sent to the active window. This can be changed in miRC options to make it easier to use.
Some more examples which you may find usefull:
/msg Nickserv REGISTER password name @ email.com
Registers your current nickname with the password of: 'password' and e-mail addresses of 'name @ email.com'
/msg Nickserv IDENTIFY password
To be typed each time you visit IRC when you connect, using the password of 'password'. Visit this thread for more information on automatically identifying to Nickserv when you connect.
/msg Nickserv group password
Allows you to GROUP different nicknames together such as, Martz, Martz[away], Martz|work which all have the same access to channels etc. The nickname you wish to group must not be registered first, using the password of 'password'
