*** How to customize rxIRC ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PROFILE RXIRC startup file:
|
|
This file should contain a series of lines that are /source'd by
|
|
rxIRC as soon as you get connected to the first server. You could
|
|
for instance do "join #fun" or "who bunny", probably you will
|
|
want to set up some aliases. See /source for more.
|
|
The file IRC PROFILE is obsolete. For a conversion you have
|
|
to rename it and remove all the command characters (the slashes).
|
|
|
|
Namesfile settings:
|
|
rxIRC gets your default nickname and full name from your namesfile
|
|
unless otherwise specified in the command line. First it looks for
|
|
:ircnick and :ircname tags in your 'self-entry' in your namesfile,
|
|
if not present it will take the normal :nick and :name entries.
|
|
Environment settings supercede these entries. You may also set a
|
|
'motto' line by adding a :motto tag, which will be displayed when
|
|
USERINFO requests are sent to you while you are on IRC. Particularely
|
|
| interesting is how you can specify a :wwwport entry, which will acti-
|
|
| vate rxIRC's builtin httpd (world wide web server). :wwwport should
|
|
| contain a number greater than 1023. Also look up the /export command
|
|
| to see how to use the httpd. Use a WWW client to learn about writing
|
|
| HTML files. That is beyond the scope of these help files.
|
|
|
|
Environment settings:
|
|
You may use 'setenv' or 'globalv' to put some values into environment
|
|
variables. The variables recognized by rxIRC are IRCNICK, IRCSERVER
|
|
IRCNAME and IRCPORT. rxIRC uses 'SELECT CENV' for compatibility with
|
|
other IRC programs.
|
|
|
|
The RXIRC PFKEYS file is obsolete. You can use the 'PF' commands
|
|
from PROFILE RXIRC now.
|
|
|
|
Defaults in the RXIRC NAMES file (the rxIRC configuration file):
|
|
server: The internet address of an IRC server
|
|
| pass: A password, if your IRC server needs it (rarely ever)
|
|
port: The TCP/IP port it runs on, usually 6667
|
|
browser: Name of a command good for showing files.
|
|
Typically BROWSE, but if that's not there try XEDIT.
|
|
timeout: Not used anymore, you can remove it
|
|
logging: Set it to ON or OFF for default logging
|
|
quiet_ignore: Usually OFF
|
|
loud_beeps: Switch it ON only when a BEEP MODULE is available.
|
|
show_numbers: When ON, rxIRC shows the numerics of IRC server replies
|
|
list_all: Show also channels without topic in /list
|
|
beep_char: The character that gets translated into a beep and back.
|
|
bold_char: If you define this one, you can make 'bold' messages
|
|
by inserting this character in your messages. They
|
|
will appear hilighted on rxIRC and bold on ircII
|
|
clients (at least)
|
|
highlight_char: Not used anymore
|
|
show_time: When the current time will be displayed on the
|
|
screen. Choices are 0 (never), 10 (every ten
|
|
minutes), 20 (every 20 minutes), 30 (every 30
|
|
minutes), and 60 (every 60 minutes).
|
|
|
|
You might choose to copy this file onto your disk to be able to
|
|
modify the values.
