Help modifying Knives' Chat 3.0 beta 9 slightly

I'm trying (so far quite unsuccessfully) to use a registered nick for the IRC channel. Reason being, I want to be able to AutoOp the shard nick. I need a way to be able to specify the password for the nickserv IDENTIFY command. I'm able to use an unregistered nick and everything works fine. Any ideas on how to add this ability to the script?

I can tinker some with the scripts, but I'm by no means an expert. Any and all help is appreciated.

I'm pretty handy with C#, but I guess I am a complete IRC noob.

First, what's a 'nick'?
Second, if you can post your code for the unregistered nick, perhaps someone could make suggestions on how to modify it to specify the password, and register it. This is a 'Script Support' forum after all.

Thanks.

Right now what it does is connect to the specified (in the in-game gump) IRC server. It then sets the nick (nickname/handle) to what was specified in the in-game gump. Finally, it joins the channel that you specify. All this works great, but... I need for it to send a message to the IRC server to identify the owner of the nick. For example, I log onto the IRC server and my client prog specifies my nick to be Dbagjones (which is registered with NickServ on DALnet). Then my IRC client sends my password to nickserv to prove that I'm the owner of that registered nick.

If I were to do this manually, which is fine for me but not the server, I would log onto the IRC server, I would type: /nick Dbagjones, then the server responds saying that the nick I chose belongs to someone and I have a certain amount of time (3 mins, I believe) to send the command to identify myself. That command looks like this: /msg [email protected] IDENTIFY <password>

I highlighted in red the part of the code I believe sets the nick, so I imagine the identify part would go just after that.

I just need to add the nickserv identify command with the password to the script. I don't really care if the script has the password hard coded into it or if a modification to the IRC connection gump asks for the password. Hope this helps to explain a little better what I'm trying to do. If you need more info, let me know. Thanks again.

P.S.

Couldn't you just log onto the server once with an IRC client with your Shard nick, register it yourself? that would cut the coding portion in half if you just did that part manually.

the hard part is sending the password over...you'll have to script that into the connect portion of the script.

Are you running your own IRC server or joining someone elses?

I run my own server, so this isn't a problem for me...i just set it where only users with the IP mask of localhost (127.0.0.1) can log on with the chat bot's nick. and it works great.

EDIT: sorry...didn't catch the last post explaining that you already thought of this lol

 

[Dbagjones]

Any ideas?

I would actually love to get an answer to this as well. I'm trying to connect to IRC via my shard, however, my host server -requires- you to have a registered nickname in order to connect at all. So it keeps bouncing my shard into "Not Registered" every time I try to connect. As for simply registering the name via mIRC or another client, that won't work. Simply because it requires the password at the time of connection, and if another client is already using that nickname, it indicates it as "In Use". So! If there was a way to simply make this script give the line that inputs the code line /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> that would be great

Sometime after connecting, you'd have to do

BroadcastRaw(String.Format("PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY {0}", pwString));

where pwString would be your password, as far as I can tell from looking at the code.

Details on how IRC messages are constructed can be found in the RFC http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1459.txt
