Join us at our IRC channel.

Help & Support IRC Channel: #uniserver or #uniformserver
Development IRC Channel: #unibeta or #unidev

Attention Beta Testers:

1. You must visit the Development IRC Channel at least once every two weeks or your Beta Tester status will be removed (contact us via the Developer Forum if you have a really good reason for not showing up).
2. You should register with Freenode and UniIRCBot, so that we can keep track of when you last visited our IRC Channel.
3. When registering with UniIRCBot, please make sure to use your Forum Username so we can identify you.
4. When registering with Freenode, please set your IRC Nickname in the My Control Center of the Forum so we can link you with it.

Choosing an IRC Client

You need an IRC client like:

• mIRC (Win32 only)
• XChat (Multiplatform)
• ChatZilla (for those who have Firefox or Mozilla or Netscape)
• Miranda IRC Plugin (for those who love Miranda IM)

Well, those are the 4 main IRC clients we have seen on our channel :) You can find more IRC clients here.

Registering with Freenode

Registering your nickname with Freenode is easy and simple. Simply type:

/ns register <password>

You can also use:

/msg nickserv register <password>

To identify yourself on your next login to the IRC Server simple use:

/ns identify <password>

Or you can also use:

/msg nickserv identify <password>

Registering with UniIRCBot

Our channel's IRC bot is called UniIRCBot. You are encouraged to register with it (also remember to identify to it when you join, if it doesn't recognize you by your hostmask). This should make it easier for us to contact you (on IRC) and also serves as evidence that you've visited the channel (for the beta testers)..

Here are the commands: To Register:

/msg UniIRCBot register <name> <password>

To Identify:

/msg UniIRCBot identify <name> <password>

Note: The two commands above must always be used in private (which means that you must type the exact command listed above (well, just replace <name> with your nickname and <password> with your password) with the /msg)

I'll let the bot do the rest of the explaining:

(MrX) @help register
(UniIRCBot) MrX: (register <name> <password>) -- Registers <name> 
with the given password <password> and the current hostmask of the 
person registering. You shouldn't register twice; if you're not 
recognized as a user but you've already registered, use the addhostmask 
command to add another hostmask to your already-registered user, or use 
the identify command to identify just for a session. This (1 more 
message)
(MrX) @more
(UniIRCBot) MrX: command (and all other commands that include a 
password) must be sent to the bot privately, not in a channel.

(MrX) @help identify
(UniIRCBot) MrX: (identify <name> <password>) -- Identifies the 
user as <name>. This command (and all other commands that include a 
password) must be sent to the bot privately, not in a channel.

After registration, you'll be able to use commands like @Note and others..
