New IRC Chat Room and Channel

Chris · 11-11-2005, 11:33 PM

The new chat is up, thanks to all the guys that helped me troubleshoot it.

Direct Link is here:

http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/view.php?pg=ircchat

MIRC Users: #sevenstring on irc.inter.net.il

The forum integrated link will log you in with your forum username.

Please let me know if there are any issues/problems. I'm going to be constantly working on this, so bear with me while I get it working and looking proper.

Bugs/Issues/Etc

If you don't see a big SUN logo when you load the screen (a grey box instead) make sure you've got the Sun Java app installed. It MIGHT work with the stock Microsoft Java handler, but that's the first place to check.
If you can't connect with a "cannot resolve server" error, try clearing your IE cache
The java client strips the username to 8 characters, I'm trying to see if I can get around it.

The forum-based applet is based on Java VM, If you have connection issues, install this:

Sun Java VM

Please let me know if there are any problems/issues/etc, and try and be thorough. This was an absolute bitch to setup, and I really want to get it right for everyone.

Check security settings for the Internet zone, and see if you have allow signed activex controls set to Disable.

Then, add http://www.sevenstring.org to Trusted sites, and see if that helps.

Vince · 11-12-2005, 12:19 AM

Yep, those are all good to go.

PLEASE don't get rid of the original chat room. I can't use IRC at work.

Chris · 11-12-2005, 12:22 AM

Check to make sure that you're using the Sun Java VM, not Microsoft's built in. As soon as I figure out how to do it in IE other than Maxthon, I'll post up how, lol.

The actual IRC connection is made from the applet hosted here to the IRC server, so it might actually get through your firewall.

Cool.

FYI, the bot (Stringer) is acting a little odd and will spam you with a broken message when you first log in. It'll be fixed asap.
