<h2>1. Section One: Compiling and Installing.</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q11">1. I get this error: /bin/sh: no: command not found</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
If you get an error something like:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote><pre>

|
||||||

</pre></blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
It means you don't have GNU gettext installed. There are two solutions:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Install GNU gettext and try again.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Use <i>./configure --disable-nls</i>. This will disable foreign
|
|
||||||
language support and all menus and GUI will be in English only.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q12">2. How do I compile HexChat on my Sun OS system?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
HexChat uses GNU gettext which in turn requires gmake, either install that
|
|
||||||
and or use ./configure --disable-nls with Sun's own make.
|
|
||||||

<br><h2>2. Section Two: Using HexChat.</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q21">1. How do I enable identd in HexChat?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<u>UNIX:</u><br>
|
|
||||||
Identd isn't actually apart of HexChat. You will need to download and install
|
|
||||||
your own ident server. Most distributions, including Fedora, come with an
|
|
||||||
ident server program called oidentd. Make sure it is enabled in
|
|
||||||
/etc/xinetd.conf or read you distribution's documentation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As an alternative, you can try this experimental identd server: <a href="http://xchat.org/auth/">xchat_auth</a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><br><u>WINDOWS:</u><br>
|
|
||||||
The win32 version of HexChat comes with a built-in identd server. It is
|
|
||||||
enabled by default, but can be disabled with <i>/set identd 0</i>.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q22">2. How do I auto join more than one channel with keys?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In the Server list's channel column enter multiple channels and separate
|
|
||||||
them by commas, eg: "#linux,#warez,#chat". Do not put spaces between the
|
|
||||||
channels. If the channels also have keys (passwords), then the syntax is:
|
|
||||||
"#channel1,#channel2,#channel3 key1,key2,key3"
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Example: If you want to join #abc and #talk without keys, but #linux with
|
|
||||||
a key of "secret", you would enter: "#linux,#abc,#talk secret".
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q23">3. How do I autoconnect and join a channel when HexChat loads?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In the Server list, select the Network you want to auto-connect to, click Edit
|
|
||||||
and turn ON the "Auto connect to this network at startup" checkbox.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q24">4. How do I cut and paste in HexChat?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
It's exactly the same as any other X application. You simply mark the text
|
|
||||||
you want, and then press middle mouse button to paste (if you only have a
|
|
||||||
2 button mouse, press left and right buttons at once).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q25">5. How do I connect through a proxy?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Go to the menus, Settings -> Preferences -> Network Setup and fill in the requested
|
|
||||||
information there. Authentication (using a username and password) is
|
|
||||||
only supported for HTTP and Socks5.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q26">6. How do I show @ and + in front of nicknames that are Op and Voice when they talk?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
To display @ and + characters next to nicknames as they talk, do the following:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In the menus, open up Settings -> Advanced -> Text Events. Find the
|
|
||||||
<i>Channel Message</i> event in the list. The $3 code can be inserted to
|
|
||||||
print the user's mode-character (e.g. @ or +). For example, you might want
|
|
||||||
to change the default:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><br>%C18%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O$t$2<br><br>To:
|
|
||||||
<br><br>%C18%H<%H$4<b>$3</b>$1%H>%H%O$t$2
|
|
||||||
<br><br>Don't forget to press Enter, so the changes take effect in the
|
|
||||||
list at the top of the window.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q27">7. How do I change the Op and Voice userlist icons and Tree View icons?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<u>Unix/Linux</u>
|
|
||||||
<br>The default icons are hard coded (compiled) in. You can override them by creating
|
|
||||||
some PNG files in ${PREFIX}/share/hexchat. ${PREFIX} is usually /usr, so that
|
|
||||||
would translate to /usr/share/hexchat. If you compiled from source tarball without
|
|
||||||
specifying a prefix, it will be /usr/local instead.
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<u>Windows</u>
|
|
||||||
<br>Your own custom icons can be placed in C:\Program Files\HexChat\Icons. Image format
|
|
||||||
may be PNG or ICO. PNG support on Windows 2000 may require installing GDI+, but it's
|
|
||||||
standard on XP or newer.

|
|

<br><h3><a name="q28">8. How do I set different ban types?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Three ways:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Right click the nickname in the userlist, and choose a ban type from the
|
|
||||||
"Kick/Ban" submenu.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
You can also do it manually:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
/ban <nick> <ban type>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
where the <ban type> is a number from 0 to 3.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
/set irc_ban_type <ban type>
|
|
||||||
sets the default ban type to use for all bans. The different types are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>0 *!*@*.host</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>1 *!*@domain</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>2 *!*user@*.host</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>3 *!*user@domain</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q29">9. Why can't I see accented-letters/umlauts/upper-ascii-chars in HexChat?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Refer to <a href="http://xchat.org/encoding/">http://xchat.org/encoding/</a>.<br>
|
|
||||||
Note: Log files are always written in UTF-8/Unicode.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q210">10. Why does the timestamp overlap some nicknames?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Some networks allow very long nicknames (up to 32 letters). It can be annoying to have
|
|
||||||
the separator bar move too far to the right, just for one long nick. Therefore, it has
|
|
||||||
a set limit for the distance it will move to the right. If you use a large font, you
|
|
||||||
may need to adjust this distance. It is set in pixels, for example:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
||||||
/set text_max_indent 320
|
|
||||||
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Once you adjust this setting high enough, overlapping timestamps and nicknames should
|
|
||||||
not occur. The adjustment will not take effect immediately, a restart may be needed.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q211">11. How do I turn on Conference mode where I will not see join or part messages?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Right-click on the tab you want to change. In the submenu of the channel
|
|
||||||
name, there's a toggle-item "Show join/part messages", simply turn this off.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>If you want to turn this option on globally, type:</p>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote><pre>/set irc_conf_mode 1</pre></blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<p>Then all channels you join after setting this will start with "Show join/part messages" turned off.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q212">12. How can I run the /dccserver command?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In short you can not do this (easily). This is a mIRC only proprietary feature
|
|
||||||
that is quite nonstandard. There is no code for doing this, mainly because
|
|
||||||
/dccserver runs on port 59 which in turn would require running HexChat as
|
|
||||||
root. Why do you need this anyway? Just use normal DCC.
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
Unofficial unix <a href="http://dfx.at/xchat/">patches are available here</a>.
|
|
||||||
<br><br><u><b>Update</b></u>: DCC Server feature has been added in the official Windows release 2.4.1b.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q213">13. Why doesn't DCC send work behind a router (IPNat/ADSL)?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
If you are behind a IP-NAT or ADSL router, you will most likely have
|
|
||||||
an address like 192.168.0.1. This address is not usable on the Internet, and
|
|
||||||
must be translated.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
When offering a DCC file, HexChat will tell the receiver your address. If it says
|
|
||||||
192.168.0.1, the receiver will not be able to connect. One way to make it send
|
|
||||||
your "real" address is to enable the "Get my IP from IRC Server" option in HexChat.
|
|
||||||
This option is available in Preferences -> File Transfers. When you turn it
|
|
||||||
ON, you will have to re-login to the server before it'll take effect.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
You will also need to forward some ports for use in DCC send. You may pick almost
|
|
||||||
any port range you wish, for example, in HexChat set:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre> <b>First DCC send port</b>: 4990
|
|
||||||
<b>Last DCC send port</b>: 5000
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
This will allow you to send up to ten files at the same time, which should be plenty
|
|
||||||
for most people. Lastly, configure your router/modem to forward ports 4990-5000 to
|
|
||||||
your PC's address. You'll have to consult your router/modem's manual on how to do this.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q214">14. How do I execute multiple commands in one line?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
There are three ways to do this:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>/LOAD -e <textfile>, where <textfile> is a full pathname to a file
|
|
||||||
containing commands on each line.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Separate your commands with CTRL-SHIFT-u-a (CTRL-SHIFT-a on older GTK+ and Windows). This will appear as a little box with numbers on it.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>You can create two UserCommands, with the same name, and then execute
|
|
||||||
the UserCommand. It will be executed in the same order as it's written
|

<br><h3><a name="q215">15. How do I enable Emacs key bindings in HexChat?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The standard Emacs key bindings, such as CTRL-w, CTRL-u etc, are supported by
|
|
||||||
GTK+ 2.0, but normally disabled. If you run Gnome 2, you can re-enable them in
|
|
||||||
your Gnome menu under: Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<i>Note</i>: This doesn't work in the latest Gnome (2.8 and newer). In this case, you need
|
|
||||||
to run "gconf-editor", and directly change the key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme
|
|
||||||
from "Default" to "Emacs". Then you need to re-start HexChat.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
If you don't use Gnome 2, but still want Emacs key bindings, it's beyond the
|
|
||||||
scope of this document. You might find some hints here:

|
||||||

<br><h3><a name="q216">16. I get this error: "Unknown file type abc.yz. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin?"</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
If you get this error when trying to load a Perl or Python script, it means
|
|
||||||
the plugin for running those scripts isn't loaded.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>The Perl, Python and TCL plugins come with HexChat in the same archive.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>During ./configure, it will check for Perl, Python and TCL libs and headers, you should check if it failed there.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>The plugins directory can be found by issuing the shell command
|
|
||||||
<pre>hexchat -p</pre>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>All *.so files are auto-loaded at startup (*.dll on Windows).</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If you downloaded a binary package, maybe the packager decided to exclude the Perl or Python plugins.</li>

<br><h3><a name="q217">17. How do I play sound files on certain events?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In the menus, go to: Settings > Preferences > Sound.
|
|
||||||
Select the event you want to make a sound on, then type in a
|
|
||||||
sound filename (or use the Browse button).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q218">18. How do I auto-load scripts at startup?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>The root of your HexChat config is:</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Unix: ~/.config/hexchat</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
<p>Referred to as <config> from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><config>/addons/*.lua Lua scripts</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><config>/addons/*.pl Perl scripts</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><config>/addons/*.py Python scripts</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><config>/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts</li>
|

</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q219">19. How do I minimize HexChat to the System Tray (Notification Area)?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
There are two plugins available that allow this:
|
|
||||||
<br>Unix: <a href="http://www.blight.tk/">SysTray Plugin</a>
|
|
||||||
<br>Windows: <a href="http://www.sinisterdevelopments.com/">xTray</a>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Note that HexChat 2.8.0+ has its own tray feature, but you can disable it
|
|
||||||
in <b>Settings > Preferences > Alerts</b> and still run these plugins, if you prefer.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q220">20. Can I select and copy text with the time stamps?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Yes, but this requires at least HexChat 2.6.3. Simply hold down SHIFT while marking
|
|
||||||
the text and the time stamps will be included.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><h3><a name="q221">21. What's the deal with opening URLs in HexChat on Unix/Linux?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Right-clicking on a URL and selecting <i>Open Link in Browser</i> will open the link
|
|
||||||
in your "preferred browser". In Gnome, your preferred browser can be changed in System > Preferences > More Preferences > Preferred Applications.
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
<b><u>Notes for 2.8.0 or newer:</u></b>
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
Everything should just work automatically without any changes from you. Here's how the current
|
|
||||||
logic works:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>First, it tries to run xdg-open, which is a universal URL handler from freedesktop.org. Most modern Linux desktops will have this now, or in the near future.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If xdg-open doesn't exist, it will try to detect a running Gnome or KDE desktop. This is done via the environment variables GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID and KDE_FULL_SESSION.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If Gnome is detected, it will execute: gnome-open <url></li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If KDE is detected, it will execute: kfmclient exec <url></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<b><u>Notes for 2.6.8 or older:</u></b>
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
If you're not using Gnome, e.g KDE or some other desktop environment, you're fresh out of luck!
|
|
||||||
<br><u>Note for Debian and Ubuntu</u>: Integration with Gnome is broken on this distro! Please set
|
|
||||||
<i>sensible-browser</i> instead. We have no control over what the Debian packagers do, so complain
|
|
||||||
to them for this screw up. Example:
|
|
||||||
<i>sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox</i>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
<b><u>More details</u></b>
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
While holding down CTRL you can single left-click a URL to open it in your preferred browser. If you really want to change this to plain left-click you can type: <b>/set gui_url_mod 0</b>, provided you have HexChat 2.6.6 or newer.
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
You can also add more items to the right-click menu in HexChat: <b>Settings > Advanced > URL Handlers</b>.
|
|
||||||
<br>For example, you could add an entry like <b>!firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-tab)'</b>
|
|
||||||
<br>But this kind of messing around shouldn't be necessary, it just works automatically in Gnome, KDE and Windows with 2.8.0+!

<br><h3><a name="q223">23. How do I rotate log files every so often?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Requires: 2.6.1+
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
By default settings, no rotation occurs, your log files will just keep getting larger.
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
Go to <b>Settings</b> > <b>Preferences</b> > <b>Logging</b> and change the log filename to any one of these:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<table border="1" cellpadding="6" rules="all">
|
|
||||||
<tr><td><b>Setting</b></td><td><b>Example filename that would be written</b></td></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>%Y-%m-%d/%n-%c.log </td><td>2006-12-30/FreeNode-#channel.log</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>%n/%Y-%m-%d/%c.log</td><td>FreeNode/2006-12-30/#channel.log</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>%n/%c.log</td><td>FreeNode/#channel.log (no rotation)</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
</table>
|
|
||||||
</blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
%Y, %m and %d represents the current year, month and day respectively. %n is the
|
|
||||||
network name, e.g. "FreeNode" or "UnderNet", and finally, %c is the channel. In these
|
|
||||||
examples, a new log filename and folder would be created after midnight.

<br><h3><a name="q224">24. How do I enable graphical smilies (emoticons)?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
This feature is only available in the official Windows HexChat release. You have to
|
|
||||||
TICK this feature during installation. If you didn't do this, you can simply run
|
|
||||||
the installer again, and TICK the "<b>Eye Candy Theme</b>" when given the option.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
If you want to use the graphical theme, but disable it just for smilies (i.e leave
|
|
||||||
it ON for things like Join/Part, Modes etc only), type this command and restart:
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|

<b>/set text_emoticons off</b>

<br><h3><a name="q225">25. Where did the Real Name field go?</a></h3>
|
|

<p>
|
|
||||||
The real name field is now removed from the Network List. This is in order to avoid
|
|
||||||
alienating newcomers (some might be afraid of their personal data).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The network-specific real name can still be set via the GUI. If you want to modify
|
|
||||||
the global real name, just issue the following command:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote><pre>
|
|

<br><h3><a name="q31">1. Why does HexChat leak so much memory?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The simple answer is, it doesn't! There are some GTK+ pixmap based themes around that
|
|
||||||
leak a lot of memory. Please try using a different theme and see if that resolves the
|
|
||||||
problem. HexChat itself only allocates about 40kb of memory through malloc()!

||||||
<br><h3><a name="q32">2. My copy of HexChat crashes, what can I do?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Firstly, make sure it's the latest stable version of HexChat. Stable versions have
|
|
||||||
an EVEN middle number, e.g.: 2.8.0 or 2.8.1. Often late fixes are placed in this
|
|
||||||
directory: <a href="http://xchat.org/files/source/2.8/patches/">2.8.x patches</a>
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
If you still experience crashes, you should consider running it through GDB. This
|
|
||||||
will help us find a fix quickly, and it's easy to do! See <a href="http://xchat.org/gdb/">here</a>.

<br><h3><a name="q33">3. Can I write a new language translation for HexChat?</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
You sure can, but I don't accept translations directly. They must be done through the
|
|
||||||
<a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/hexchat/">Transifex Project</a>.
|

Bear in mind that the email address with which you register on Transifex will be visible in the translation files.

HexChat Frequently Asked Questions
|
||||||
|
==================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using HexChat.
|
||||||
|
--------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I autoconnect and join a channel when HexChat loads?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the Network list select the Network you want to auto-connect to and
|
||||||
|
click Edit and turn ON the "Auto connect to this network at startup"
|
||||||
|
checkbox.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
List channels in the favorites list to join them on connect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why does HexChat join channels before identifying?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the nickserv password HexChat waits a short time before joining.
|
||||||
|
To change this value (which is in seconds) by running:
|
||||||
|
> /set irc\_join\_delay number
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The other option is SASL which is network dependant and can be enabled in the Network list (2.9.4+).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I connect through a proxy?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Go to the menus, *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Network Setup* and fill in
|
||||||
|
the requested information there. Authentication (using a username and
|
||||||
|
password) is only supported for HTTP and Socks5.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I show @ and + in front of nicknames that are Op and Voice when they talk?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To display @ and + characters next to nicknames as they talk, do the
|
||||||
|
following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the menus, open up Settings -> Text Events. Find the
|
||||||
|
*Channel Message* event in the list. The $3 code can be inserted to
|
||||||
|
print the user's mode-character (e.g. @ or +). For example, you might
|
||||||
|
want to change the default:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> %C18%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O$t$2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> %C18%H<%H$4$3$1%H>%H%O$t$2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Don't forget to **press Enter**, so the changes take effect in the list at
|
||||||
|
the top of the window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I change the Op and Voice userlist icons and Tree View icons?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can override the default icons by placing PNG files with the names listed below in
|
||||||
|
the specified directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Files
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
#### Locations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Unix/Linux
|
||||||
|
> /usr/share/hexchat
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Windows
|
||||||
|
> C:\Program Files\HexChat\Icons\
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can hide either of them in Preferences.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I set different ban types?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Right click the nickname in the userlist, and choose a ban type from the "Kick/Ban" submenu.
|
||||||
|
2. You can also do it manually:
|
||||||
|
> /ban nick bantype where the bantype is a number from 0 to 3.
|
||||||
|
3. Or set the default with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> /set irc\_ban\_type bantype sets the default ban type to use for all bans. The different types are:
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> - 0 = \*!*@*.host
|
||||||
|
> - 1 = \*!*@domain
|
||||||
|
> - 2 = \*!*user@*.host
|
||||||
|
> - 3 = \*!*user@domain
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why does the timestamp overlap some nicknames?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some networks allow very long nicknames (up to 32 letters). It can be
|
||||||
|
annoying to have the separator bar move too far to the right, just for
|
||||||
|
one long nick. Therefore, it has a set limit for the distance it will
|
||||||
|
move to the right. If you use a large font, you may need to adjust this
|
||||||
|
distance. It is set in pixels, for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> /set text\_max\_indent 320
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you adjust this setting high enough, overlapping timestamps and
|
||||||
|
nicknames should not occur. The adjustment will not take effect
|
||||||
|
immediately, a restart may be needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I turn on Conference mode where I will not see join or part messages?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Right-click on the tab you want to change. In the submenu of the channel
|
||||||
|
name, there's a toggle-item "Show join/part messages", simply turn this
|
||||||
|
off.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to turn this option on globally go to *Preferences* -> *Advanced*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then all channels you join **after** setting this will start with "Show
|
||||||
|
join/part messages" turned off.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why doesn't DCC send work behind a router (IPNat/ADSL)?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are behind a IP-NAT or ADSL router, you will most likely have an
|
||||||
|
address like 192.168.0.1. This address is not usable on the Internet,
|
||||||
|
and must be translated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When offering a DCC file, HexChat will tell the receiver your address.
|
||||||
|
If it says 192.168.0.1, the receiver will not be able to connect. One
|
||||||
|
way to make it send your "real" address is to enable the "Get my IP from
|
||||||
|
IRC Server" option in HexChat. This option is available in Preferences
|
||||||
|
-> File Transfers. When you turn it ON, you will have to re-login to
|
||||||
|
the server before it'll take effect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will also need to forward some ports for use in DCC send. You may
|
||||||
|
pick almost any port range you wish, for example, in HexChat set:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> First DCC send port: 4990
|
||||||
|
> Last DCC send port: 5000
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will allow you to send up to ten files at the same time, which
|
||||||
|
should be plenty for most people. Lastly, configure your router/modem to
|
||||||
|
forward ports 4990-5000 to your PC's address. You'll have to consult
|
||||||
|
your router/modem's manual on how to do this.

||||||

### How do I execute multiple commands in one line?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are three ways to do this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- /LOAD -e <textfile>, where <textfile> is a full pathname to a
|
||||||
|
file containing commands on each line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Separate your commands with CTRL-SHIFT-u-a. This will appear as
|
||||||
|
a little box with numbers onit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- You can create two UserCommands, with the same name, and then
|
||||||
|
execute the UserCommand. It will be executed in the same order as
|
||||||
|
it's written in the UserCommands GUI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### I get this error: "Unknown file type abc.yz. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you get this error when trying to load a Perl or Python script, it
|
||||||
|
means the plugin for running those scripts isn't loaded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The Perl, Python and TCL plugins come with HexChat in the same
|
||||||
|
archive.
|
||||||
|
- During ./configure, it will check for Perl, Python and TCL libs and
|
||||||
|
headers, you should check if it failed there.
|
||||||
|
- The plugins directory can be found by issuing the shell command
|
||||||
|
> hexchat -p
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- All *.so files are auto-loaded at startup (*.dll on Windows).
|
||||||
|
- If you downloaded a binary package, maybe the packager decided to
|
||||||
|
exclude the Perl or Python plugins.
|
||||||
|

||||||

### How do I play sound files on certain events?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the menus, go to: *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Sound*. Select the event
|
||||||
|
you want to make a sound on, then type in a sound filename (or use the
|
||||||
|
Browse button).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 18. How do I auto-load scripts at startup?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The root of your HexChat config is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat\addons
|
||||||
|
- Unix/Linux: ~/.config/hexchat/addons
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This may need to be created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Referred to as config from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.lua Lua scripts
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.pl Perl scripts
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.py Python scripts
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)
|
||||||
|
> - config/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I minimize HexChat to the System Tray (Notification Area)?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On both Unix and Windows there is an included tray plugin.
|
||||||
|
To enable minimizing to tray on exit:
|
||||||
|
> /set gui\_tray\_flags -on 1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For minimizing to tray on minimize:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> /set gui\_tray\_flags -on 4 *(use -off to disable)*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alerts for this tray are in *Preferences* -> *Alerts*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The other option is Windows only, called HexTray. It is included with the installer.
|
||||||
|
Right click on the tray icon for its options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Where are the log files saved to?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Unix/Linux
|
||||||
|
> ~/.config/hexchat/logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Windows
|
||||||
|
> %APPDATA%\HexChat\logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I rotate log files every so often?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default settings, no rotation occurs, your log files will just keep getting larger.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Go to *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Logging* and change the log filename to any one of these:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> %Y-%m-%d/%n-%c.log ->2006-12-30/FreeNode-\#channel.log
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> %n/%Y-%m-%d/%c.log ->FreeNode/2006-12-30/\#channel.log
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> %n/%c.log -> FreeNode/\#channel.log (no rotation)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
%Y, %m and %d represents the current year, month and day respectively.
|
||||||
|
%n is the network name, e.g. "FreeNode" or "UnderNet", and finally, %c
|
||||||
|
is the channel. In these examples, a new log filename and folder would
|
||||||
|
be created after midnight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can find more possibilities at
|
||||||
|
[http://xchat.org/docs/log/](http://xchat.org/docs/log/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Where did the Real Name field go?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The real name field is now removed from the Network List. This is in
|
||||||
|
order to avoid alienating newcomers (some might be afraid of their
|
||||||
|
personal data).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The network-specific real name can still be set via the GUI. If you want
|
||||||
|
to modify the global real name, just issue the following command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> /set irc\_real\_name Stewie Griffin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How do I migrate my settings from XChat?

|
|
||||||
|
### I found a bug, what can I do?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Firstly, make sure it's the latest stable version of HexChat.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you still experience issues, you can search for the issue on
|
||||||
|
[Github](https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues?state=open)
|
||||||
|
if it has not been reported open an issue with as much detail as possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Can I write a new language translation for HexChat?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You sure can, but I don't accept translations directly. They must be
|
||||||
|
done through the [Transifex
|
||||||
|
Project](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/hexchat/). Bear in mind
|
||||||
|
that the email address with which you register on Transifex will be
|
||||||
|
visible in the translation files.
