#se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

That's right, it is moving to the irc.freenode.net server group. Additionally, the channel name is changing to #SpaceEmpires, to be more general for when SE5 is released. Check the official web site for further information:

I'll try to get out the next companion within a week, that will autoupdate the changes stated here.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Err... I hope this wierd issues get resolved with the new chat room!

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

What where those weird issues with the previous channel then?

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

There is some confusion over the NickServ commands on the new server... nothing major.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

It's slower.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I found that too.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

This is a handy link that will show you How to register and setup your nick

Oh and in step 6 they don't tell you how to authenticate your name at login, if you have a 'perform buffer' type thing like in trillian just type the following in the buffer..

/msg nickserv identify <password>; /join #spaceempires

don't place the < > brackets, just your password that you registered by following the first 5 steps in the above link.

I hope this helps, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Edit: Slower? well, be honest now. it's slower to login, but once you're logged everything seems to run smoothe.

That's what I meant. I posted that 41 minutes ago and it's about 4:00 now. In the morning. I'm going to sleep.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Seems to go the same speed for me. Maybe the server you guys are on is laggy...

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Bumpy bumpy!

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Trillian is refusing to save the new server.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I got the same freaky problem. And because of that I labeled it a %^@#%&^program. First my computer breaks down and then I discover that Trillian is a %^@#%&^ program. Ah well, things will improve, I'm sure of it... eventualy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I gave up on trillian months ago when I upgraded to ADSL and it refused to recognise that I was Online. I'll just wait for a Version of the companion that supports the new server/channel.

The Companion is great. All hail the Companion.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I knew Trillian was junk after about 2 weeks of using it when it starting screwing up itself and all my other programs. I uninstalled rather quickly at that point.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Trillian doesn't give me any problems, aside from the inability to transfer files via Irc and Msn.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Ditto for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I have seen it lose a custom server once or twice in the Last few years of using it, but never seen it not save it at all... how many times have you added it, once or twice?

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

You can change the server/channel manually by going to the settings and clicking on the IRC option button.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

3 or 4 times.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Moi ausi.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

I see Fyron is already taking precautions against the inevitable flow of traffic generated when Aaron Hall develops SE:X. The IRC Channel would be....interesting to say the least http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Shouldn't the topic now read #se4 IRC channel has moved?

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

*Update* The server name stuck one of the Last times.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

*Bump*

For the new forum members who might not have heard of it.

#spaceempires is the new name. Ignore the name in the thread.

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

Doesn't it have to be capitalized? #SpaceEmpires

Re: #se4 IRC Channel is Moving!
 

IRC is case in-sensitive. So you could join #SPACEEMPIRES, or #sPACEeMPIRES, or #sPaCeEmPiReS, or #spaceempires... and it would all be the same channel.
