Channels List

typracing · Post by **typracing** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 12:32 am

I have gotten my server setup and can connect to it via mIRC. I want to create a channels list for users to see what channels are available? Could someone please explain how to do this?

I'm very new to all of this and am learning as I go along, so please be patient with me.

The thing is, if your server is not 'linked up' to a network, and you are the only person currently using your server, any channels can be used, and when they join a channel with nobody in it, the server will create the channel for them.

Also, after people have joined the channels they want to be in, you can type the following into mIRC and it will show you a list of channels that have people in them.

/list

Note: After all people have left a channel, it technically no longer exists and will not show up in /list again until somebody joins there.

What do you mean by linked to a network?

By linked to a network he means the server is configured to connect to other servers so that users on other servers can communicate with users on the local server.

Anyways, can you post as much detail as possible about your server? Try posting the service.txt file from your unreal3.2 directory so we can see what errors you're getting. Also what ip address or hostname are you trying to connect to?

Any channel is availible so long as it starts with a # and does not contain any illegal charecters, and meets length requirements.

When it's up and running, I use the server address of 68.12.142.208 on port 6667. I looked for a service.txt but there was none found.

If unreal wont start then there has to be. Go to start>Search and search for service.txt

You are using win32 correct?

you can also use an offical channels block in your unrealircd.conf to keep rooms in /list even when the channel count is zero http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unre ... alchannels

Official channels are shown in /list even if no users are in the channel. The topic is optional and is only shown in /list if it has 0 users.

That's because it's service.log

upinsmoke hit what I was looking for. I wanted to have a default channels list so users wouldnt have to create their own.

AngryWolf, i misinterpreted typracings question apparently, thinking he was getting some error. aquanight, my mistake, i thought the win32 version would write to service.txt.
