Web-based IRC is now available!
Alright all you non-technical gamers ... now you don't have an excuse:
Web-based IRC is now available!
For those who don't already know, IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol that allows people to chat in a feature-filled text-based environment. Someone runs an IRC server and hosts IRC services (authentication, login, etc.) and then you connect using an IRC client.
Many of our C&C:Renegade users have been using a program they downloaded from the internet known as mIRC. Once installed, this program allows them to connect to our IRC server and talk with their friends, and in many cases, people who are inside of a game! Until now there was no alternative to this process; you had to download mIRC or another IRC client and connect to the server. That has all changed!
Now you can connect to the IRC server using our website. Simply go to http://www.TsuGaming.com/irc or click on the link on the front of the TsuGaming.com website. Fill in a username (and password, if your username is already registered) and then click to join. IT'S THAT EASY!
Our main hangout is in a channel called #hangout (go figure) and contains users from other communities and games.
IRC can be used as both a generic chat room (with public and private chat rooms) or it can be used with a game server so that you can talk to people that are playing a game.
Now that we have web-based IRC, anyone with a Java-enabled computer can access IRC! At work. At school. At the library! I'd really like everyone to start using IRC more often. Even those that don't play a specific game or don't know many people. Just join and hang out in the #hangout. Once you get used to how IRC works you can try downloading mIRC and connecting the geek way.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please ask them here!

Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
=/ I just tried it and it said 'loading Java Applet failed', I just thought I'd let you know in case it's a problem with the actual thing and not just me. Also, how much like mIRC would this be? What things could you do with mIRC that you couldn't with the web-based IRC? Can mods still execute commands from IRC? Would it lag a lot or would that depend entirely on your own computer?

You might need to check your browser settings. It works fine for me. ;-Smedici wrote:=/ I just tried it and it said 'loading Java Applet failed', I just thought I'd let you know in case it's a problem with the actual thing and not just me.

Also, you can run any normal commands that you'd normally run from mIRC such as /join /ns /cs etc. And if you join #tsuaow you can type !msg to message people in game.

Yeah, it don't work :S
Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
I don't know why others are having so many problems with this. I will ask DrkPwner to take a look at it.
Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
Thanks for reporting the error.
It's completely fixed now.

Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
Any reason why on the IRC Applet, you do a whois on everyone who join?
Spoiler: show
Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
Not a clue.
But I do know that it doesn't really matter much unless you have a 0.0000000000000005kb/s connection?

Re: Web-based IRC is now available!
That's not a WHOIS. It's a WHO and mIRC does it too (usually it's disabled or not shown). And the first bit is a /NAMES.mobius323 wrote:Any reason why on the IRC Applet, you do a whois on everyone who join?
