In-game Chat Channel
Through hard work by FiReMaGe, it is possible to chat with people in-game while you yourself are not logged into your game.
In order to do this you must first log onto our IRC server (see above) and join the channel #vrelay. Then you must register with FiReMaGe's bot, which is named vo in the channel (and IRC in-game:
- Register your IRC nickname if you have not already using nickserv.
- Type: /msg nickserv register (password) (email) Replacing password with the password you'd like and email with your valid email address.
- Now activate your account by following the directions in your email (it will send you an activation code).
- Type: /msg nickserv identify (password)
- In your IRC client, type /msg vo link (game name) where (game name) is the name of the character in the game you want to act as
- You need to log in to Vendetta and do what the bot told you to do, which should be to type (in-game): /msg IRC link (your IRC nickname)
- Congratulations, your IRC nickname will now be able to use the bot! You can send the commands you see in the following section, Commands to the bot.
