MADjestic Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I failed to connect, since I am behind a proxy. Is there any way around? (except installing mIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 ah bugger. We've been nicked. Well I'll explain since Jason isn't here to defend himself. Getting a nice IRC interface into odforce was Jason's pet project for a short while. Sadly though, there aren't any decent scripts out there that can make it happen at a level that we would require. The one that you stumbled across Paul (how did you find it anyway?) was the best that's out there. It has endless problems however, proxy's being one of them, so we abandoned the project. And it seems some people don't like cleaning up after themselves . So enjoy it while it lasts, I'll be removing it in a few hours. Cheers Marc P.S. Sorry for the confusion.

edward Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 If you go to the wiki page first, there's a link to the irc directory at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 [one,Aug 8 2005, 03:33 PM]an irc server?.. would be nice... where? how?loking for news 20319[/snapback] Ooops, sorry Marc - I forgot to remove that .irc link on the Wiki page. It works, but its Java and so doesn't work from behind a firewall; like for me. The ambition was to have an optional frame which logged in to IRC with your odforce handle using JavaScript - which is server-side and so you're "guaranteed" of a valid connection.. I put the idea aside because (a) I ran out of time, and ( I may prefer forum posting because the knowledge stays there forever and is not flushed away. I know there is a comraderie in IRC too. What does everyone think? Should we attempt to host a javascript IRC client? Or stick with a forum-only site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratman Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Well i like both the forums and an irc server, and we've been getting quite a few people in the IRC server now, so i think both things are good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJuice Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yes, some good stuff has been happening in the chat, so anything that helps bring more people in is cool with me. I understand though, about wanting to keep useful information in a preservable state, so that's a little bit of a dilemma. I guess there is a chance that if someone visits the board with a question and sees the little irc window/button, they might be inclined to just ask in the chat, instead of on the forum where the answer can be seen by others who come along later with the same question. If it can be done without too much hassle, I'd definitly like to see it done, even if only on a trial basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 AAAAAAAah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't get onto IRC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stoopid IT......... :cry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 i like the forum as it removes the timezone barrier and as Jason says it preserves answers (but then good irc problems/solutions could get transposed to the wiki ) i wouldnt want to see irc supersede the forums. having said that ive started at least idling in there at night and would at times during the days too if we found a way to do it through the web. but im outta there if anyone posts a link to their webcam and they dont have clothes on!!

TheUsualAlex Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Heh. I like the forum too. : ) No need to worry about firewall issues. Unless of course, the stoopid IT or the WebBlock decided that Odforce is an indecent site.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 If you like to browse and chat all at the same time try this : https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=16 I tried it once, a long time ago. Seemed fine to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
