IRC Clients

There are many IRC clients out there in the world There are several clients for connecting to IRC, but many people believe that X-Chat is the best client out there.

  • Windows
    • Free compiled version of X-Chat for windows.
  • Linux
  • Mac
    • X-Chat Aqua, good IRC client based off of XChat but lacks some features.
    • MacIrssi, a good IRC client that doesn't have as many features as X-Chat Aqua. Basically a GUI for IRSSI.
  • Cross-platform

Where are we?

The players of vendetta can often be found in IRC, we lurk on the server irc.slashnet.org and have a couple of main channels.

  • #vendetta is basically talk about anything, sometimes the developers ask for some input here.
  • #vendetta-ingame is home to the IRC to Vendetta bot, it relays chat from ingame to here, and visa versa.
  • #vendetta-itani is for Itani nation people
  • #vendetta-inc is yet another channel for Itani.
  • #vendetta-makchuga is the channel that VendettaWiki works out of, and is also the home of the Makchuga Interstellar Bar.

In-game Chat Channel

Through hard work by the man 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 #vendetta-ingame. Then you must register with FiReMaGe's bot, which is named Vendetta in the channel (and IRC in-game:

  1. 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.
    • Type: /msg nickserv identify (password)
    1. Now, type /msg vendetta register
    2. 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 (your irc nickname)
    3. 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.
