For all you IRC heads out there...

Is there any way to access fservs through *****X or ksirc???

Thanks

fserves work the same as dcc chat no?

[ZeNN]

Yeah, but when i type the trigger, instead of opening the server dialog in another window, it opens it in the room. When i try to give commands, it dumps the commands into the room. I'm not quite sure how to give commands to the actual dcc fserv. Any suggestions?

[Tyr-7BE]

Wish I could help, but I can't :( I use XChat for fserves, and it works like a dream.

In *****X (if sending commands to an fserve works the same way as regular DCC chat...), after you accept the DCC chat request, hit the tab key till you see /msg =botname appear, then type whatever command you want to DCC to the bot. If you want to devote a separate window to the DCC session, just type /q =botname in that window, and you can just send commands to the bot by typing directly into that window without pressing the tab key. Hope this is clear/helpful.

Something else that I like to do is put the query in a different window..try this....

/window new hide
then hit alt F2 and it should of put you in a different window. Makes it soo much easier to keep track of who you are talking to.

You can also join more then 1 channel that way, and even connect to another server if you want.

Actually you'd need to hit just alt-2 to swap to the new window in that case, instead of F2. Or, you could type /window new hide swap last to have it take you to the new window automatically. (Or set up an alias to do this for you, etc.)
