What am I suppose to do. :blink: I just downloaded it, and I got all this stuff about channels and popups and servers,etc. :o What am I suppose to do to play with you guys. Plus, in case what IRC I got that u guys r wondering, it is OPUNNSIRC.
-
Great thats the one you need to get.
On the left hand side there are a bunch of channels, #Outpost2 is the main one, talk in there.
We meet there to play multiplayer and chat, you need to be setup to play before you can play with people, info here:
outpostuniverse.net/multi.php (http://www.outpostuniverse.net/multi.php)
To change your name type /nick <nick> on a window.
Hope to c u on irc soon.

Is there any other IRC server I can use because the IRC that u guys use doesn't work. :(
-
Download this:
OPUNNSIRC.zip (http://www.outpostuniverse.net/files/OPUNNSIRC.zip)
Unzip it!
Run mIRC in the new folder and it should load up and connect.
-
It's already unzipped for me, but its still unable to connect to server :o
-
Try typing one of the following in the chat line at the bottom, press enter after typing the command:
/server uk.quakenet.org
/server de.quakenet.org
/server se.quakenet.org
/server us.quakenet.org
This should try a different server to use for IRC. If you still can't connect, perhaps your LAN or ISP has prevented IRC usage (Some companies, schools, and ISPs don't like IRC).
What error do you get on connection?
-
Do you have java installed, have you tryed the web based client on our site (here (http://www.outpostuniverse.net/webirc/))?
What is the error, why wont it connect?
You could also try geting mIRC from mirc.com (http://www.mirc.com/get.html) and seeing if that connects to any server. If will have QuakeNet in its list, that is the server we are on. If you get connected type '/join #outpost2' to join our channel.
I dont c why our download is not working. It does have multiple QuakeNet servers in its list, you could try a few.
-
yeah, 2 tell u the truth, I am using a school computer. :heh: I don't have a computer at home, but at least they let me get into this website. I'm going 2 c if the commands u typed works though. If it doesn't, then tough luck 4 me.
-
Ah i c :(
Your school most likey blocks irc.
At least you can post on the forum :)
Shame you wont be able to play and chat with us.
-
The only place I can chat and play with u guys is if my dad brings me to his house on the weekend. Hey, lev, do u by the chance know a Platinum Shadow?
If you do he says lay off the "girls".
<_<- From PS
-
No I dont think i evea met him on WON. Would be great if old players came back to the game and joined us once again :)
Well stick around on the forums warwalker and take part. Hopefully your get on IRC sometime.
I might work on a irc client that dosent need to connect to port 6667 of a irc network. Your school must block 6667 and other ports. But its not blocking outgoing connections. You can get on websites :)
Maybe you can help me test my program and seeing if it connects.
-
there is this quakenet server called "port80". did you try that already? (you have to adjust some settings in mirc before it uses the right port)
-
TH300 the Port80 QuakeNet server ports are standard ones, 6666-6670 & 7000. Port80 is a company who hosts a QuakeNet server like any of the other servers.
-
ya, i tested that. would be awesome if it was on 80, tho. would helpa few pppls out
-
Damn!
What about 8080 or probably 1500? But yea, they have likely blocked everytjhing but 80. Well..
-
Even so, many schools use stateful packet inspection where it actually checks the content of the packets to be sure it is HTTP(S) and not some other protocol.
My school used, and I think still uses that, to prevent non HTTP connections outside of their network. (It is still possible to use HTTP even on a non standard port)
In that case, you would have to use http tunneling.
