Hi all,
I'm an (almost) complete newbie wrt IRC. How do I start? The EmacsWiki
page is basically a bunch of people stating that ERC is great. That is
cool, but I'd like to learn how to use that (I found some general IRC
links there, so that part can be considered solved) and choose an
(Emacs-based, of course) IRC client. What are the differences bewteen
(many) existing clients? Any hints which might help me decide?
TIA,
I found these related lines in my .emacs:
(defalias 'irc 'erc) ;; so M-x irc loads the erc chat module
through Customize set these; substitute your own servers, channels, etc.
'(erc-autojoin-channels-alist (quote (("dal.net") ("freenode.net"
"#emacs"))))
'(erc-manual-set-nick-on-bad-nick-p t)
'(erc-modules (quote (autojoin button completion fill irccontrols
match menu netsplit noncommands readonly ring stamp)))
'(erc-nick "yournick")
'(erc-pcomplete-mode t)
'(erc-port 6667)
'(erc-server "irc.dal.net") ;; or your own
'(erc-stamp-mode t)
'(erc-truncate-mode t)
the Emacs rcirc module might be easier to use but it's less capable than erc
Anyway, wait for more authoritative suggestions. Often I have to fall
back on Chatzilla or another client when dal.net won't connect. I don't
know if the problem is in one of my Emacs settings or what.
hth,
Ed
