. | ===Web client=== | ||
*[[w:Wikia|Wikia]] has a CGI:IRC gateway for the #wikia-kingdomhearts channel at [http://irc.wikia.com/gaming/ irc.wikia.com] that lets you join the chat room from a normal web page. Just put in your username and choose "#wikia-kingdomhearts" from the drop-down list. | |||
*[http://webchat.freenode.net/ Freenode's webchat] is a more convenient web client. Simply type in your nick and "#wikia-kingdomhearts" in the channel box. | |||
As of June 19th 2009 Freenode's server is no longer available via Mibbit. | |||
===Windows=== | |||
*[http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] is the classic Windows IRC client. The main drawbacks of mIRC are the fact that it's not free and that the configuration options are more extensive than a lot of users are used to. (Only partial UTF-8 support - see below) | |||
*[http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ Trillian] handles IRC. It's a little complicated to set up, but if you don't want to use the very easy CGI:IRC linked by Angela, then Trillian is a handy program to have anyway for the other things it does. (No UTF-8 support - see below) | |||
*[http://miranda-im.org Miranda IM] - a multi-client, like Trillian, but rather minimalist and open source. (UTF-8 support requires patching - see below) | |||
===Linux=== | |||
*[http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin] is a multi-client that comes preinstalled with Ubuntu and several other Linux distributions. | |||
*[http://kopete.kde.org/ Kopete] is a multi-client, the KDE counterpart of Gaim. | |||
*[http://konversation.kde.org/ Konversation] is a KDE application with interface similar to X-Chat; it is an IRC-only client. | |||
*[http://www.irssi.org irssi] is an IRC-only client that uses a text-mode user interface. | |||
*[http://www.bitchx.org/ BitchX] is an IRC-only console application client. | |||
*[http://www.epicsol.org/ EPiC] is an IRC-only client for Unix systems that is descended from the ircII client, it uses a text-mode user interface. | |||
===Mac=== | |||
*[http://www.snak.com/Snak.html Snak] handles IRC rather nicely, and is one of the few Mac-only clients that still work flawlessly. | |||
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchataqua/ X-Chat Aqua] is a full featured IRC client for OS X that is easy to setup and use. | |||
*[http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy] is an open-source IRC, SILC and ICB client for Mac OS X. | |||
===Crossplatform=== | |||
*[http://www.opera.com Opera web browser] has a built-in IRC client. | |||
*[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/ ChatZilla] is an extension for the {{w|Mozilla Firefox}} web browser. | |||
*[http://jwchat.org/ JWChat] - had some script errors in Firefox, but clicked "Stop script" and it worked fine after that. | |||
*[http://xchat.org X-Chat] is perhaps the most well-known IRC client for Linux, included into nearly every distribution, which has recently grown in popularity on Windows as well. Note that the official Windows version (as opposed to Linux) is shareware, but unofficial free Windows builds are available, for example, [http://www.silverex.org/download/ here]. | |||
==Setup instructions== | |||
To log in, you need to configure your client. After you log in, it is rather straightforward. The parameters are: | |||
*Server: '''irc.freenode.net''' | |||
*Channel: '''#wikia-kingdomhearts''' (note the correct spelling) | |||
Most IRC clients, in particular mIRC, Miranda and X-Chat, have "Freenode" in the default network list, you only need to select it. After you are connected to the server, type '''/join #wikia-kingdomhearts''' in the reply box and press Enter. | |||
Custom instructions for specific clients to come. | |||
==UTF-8== | |||
The #wikia-kingdomhearts channel uses the {{w|UTF-8}} encoding, just like the Wiki proper. This should not pose a problem with English, as UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII-127, but non-Latin scripts (such as Greek or Cyrillic) may be rendered improperly in UTF-8-incapable clients. |
