You need commands.dll, not .so for windows.

ok so once that is done i changed the cloak.so to cloak.dll and i get this

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
* unrealircd.conf:2: loadmodule modules/cloak.dll: failed to load: Access is denied.

[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

Windows Vista (business) by any chance?

no windows xp

ok so i fixed that it was my agv that was blocking it but now it says it needs ircd.motd
what can i do?

Open a text editor, write the text you want to be showed to your users when they connect (or by typing /motd) and save the file in the Unreal dir under the name ircd.motd (NOT ircd.motd.txt)

ok so i put in there welcome to my irc server and i saved it as "ircd.motd" and now it is not loading

Any errors?

no just nothing comes up but when i remove the file it comes up the errors

oh yer it opens in the taskbar the closes within 1 second

Well, how do you know it's loading? Just guessing here, are you trying to launch "unrealircd.exe" or "wircd.exe"? wircd.exe is the right one to launch.

it just dose the same as i said

Is there a logfile? If no (or it doesn't give any errors), I'm out of ideas..

As a hint, try it on Linux, makes things in the end a lot easier!

here is the log file

Okay, those are errors I can work with! Configure your listen block to bind to all addresses (replace 192.168.0.0 to * in the listen blocks) and remove all ssl; flags from the config.

can i make the listen blocks to localhost ?
