-================================== - -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 - -**userlist:** - -> - op.png -> - hop.png -> - voice.png -> - red.png *(1 level above op)* -> - purple.png *(2 levels above op)* - -**channeltree:** - -> - server.png -> - channel.png -> - dialog.png -> - util.png *(Channel List, DCC, etc (if enabled as tabs))* - -**tray:** - -> - message.png -> - highlight.png -> - fileoffer.png -> - hexchat.png - -#### Locations - -You will need to create the directory. - -* Unix/Linux - -> ~/.config/hexchat/icons - -* Windows - -> %APPDATA%\\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 , where 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). - - -### How do I auto-load scripts at startup? - -The root of your HexChat config is: - -- Windows: %APPDATA%\\HexChat -- Unix/Linux: ~/.config/hexchat - - -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) - -The addons dir may need to be created. - -### 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? - -* UNIX/Linux - -> 1. Copy ~/.xchat2 to ~/.config/hexchat -> 2. Rename ~/.config/hexchat/xchat.conf to ~/.config/hexchat/hexchat.conf -> 3. Rename ~/.config/hexchat/xchatlogs to ~/.config/hexchat/logs -> 4.
