HAHAHA YAY!!!!!!! your not allowed to post links???

No, it's just that XP no longer supports java as a download, and as you said it does not give any info on where to get it from.

The chat room used on this site uses java, so I posted a suggestion saying that the link I give you a moment ago should be added to the "you don't have java" message :)

I dunno if they done it or not. :D

Why would't he be allowed to post a link? Its not spam, warez or anything like that, just answering a legit question.

I have xp and the newest version of java out there, it works good, just search http://www.download.com for it, its not a big download and its free.

Here:

this may hav ebeen coverd, so many replies, but does this java irc allow DCC sends?

i have been trying to find out how i can use commands such as

/msg ns auth <password>

and

/msg x authop


in EIRC

You need a bot.

Thanks for this great Hack !! It works perfectly :)

Thanks for this hack!

Just wondering if anyone knows of a free server that is using the xp.jar so the looks are more like the chat on this site?

also, regarding the bot... anyone know which would be the best to use?

thanks.

*clicks installed*

I am using the X2 bot @ afternet.org
Works pretty good.

checking now.
thanks for the quick reply!

np. Glad to have helped!

actually, i can't create a new account there... won't let me... i'll have to try later.

Yes, They are doing some minor routine updating right now. Try later... Or find another. I really like afternet as it is so simple, with a proffessional look to it.

well, i got what i think is the bot you are talking about... from another site... however, of course, there are no instructions. i'll ferret through it and see what i can do though...

Thanks for your simpled down version Slynderdale , it worked great. The original just threw a blank page at me for some reason.

Working tho, now I'm just downloading the JDKs to sign eIRC for QuakeNet - unless somebody's already done it!! PLEASE!! :(

did anyone figure out how to compile it to work with another server....

Wonderful hack! I love it.
a few questions.
1) it takes about 20-45 seconds for it to connect and load the channel, is there anyway to show the progrress like on vbulletin.org/chat. or anyway to speed it up, right now it just sits there at a white screen, and i know some of my users will just say it doesnt work.

2) has anyone managed to make a working hack to show who's online in the chat?

thanks again for this great hack

anyone still working on this??

Hey hey hey, i receive this error message:
BYE BYE CLONEYS
CLOSING LINK: MY USERNAME[IP] By KAGENFURT ... [K-lined]

Please help me.

Okay, I recently moved my site to a new server and now the Chat.class applet isn't loading up. I made sure to update the new path in both the index.php and chat_top.php files, but I still get a "load: Class chat not found" error.

Someone please help!

I have a problem.

I used SLYNDERDALES version of this hack, it linked up and loads the applet, but nothing is shown in the box. When I type, nothing appears. It shows me as connected I thought? Then it freezes up and gets distorted within 30 seconds of just sitting there. What do I need to do or change? :(

Help would be great, I don't think slynderdale is active on the board any longer :(

Cool hack! Im having one problem though. When you attempt to click any of the buttons in the header or footer thay redirect to the incorrect path. It's adding the chat directory into the URL. Anyone know how to fix this?

http://www.extreme-athlete.com/forums/chat/

I was trying to install eIRC chat on my own server, but after chat is loaded, I see message "cannot connect to the port 6667".
what does it mean? how to make my chat working?

why should a recompile be necessary is one wants to connect to a different host? The host name is passed in as a parameter!

Clicks on install. I compiled the applet and signed it with my cert and it works well. Thanks for a great hack.

Here's my problem. I need to make it members only so no guests are allowed in. How do I do this? I tried some simple if strings with the $bbusername variable and it didn't work. I'm new to php so I didn't expect it to work. THanks for your help.

BUMP FOR HELP!

Did anyone ever figure out how to compile and sign this? I'd really like a little help on this, or a quick rundown/link. I'd like to log on to another server. Anyone? :confused:

Download Java SDK v1.31.04 and the applet source from the eirc homepage at Sourceforge. Make sure you also download the libs and extract it to your eirc dir. Then run build.pl if on *Nix or build.bat if on Windows from shell. After the build is complete use jarsigner to sign the 2 files that are created in the build dir.

Thanks, I'll try it. :)

Damn, their site's down right now, but I'll try it again later. ;)

Ok, I got all the stuff, but I'm quite confused now. Do I need a private key to sign the jars? I thought keys were only used for SSL connections. Can I sign without a key? I've been reading up on this site, and it seems a bit more in depth than I'd originally gathered. Can you elaborate a bit on this procedure? :confused:

Use keygen utility to generate a cert to sign the applet. I'll write up a tutorial on how to do this and post it up later tommorrow.

How would i connect to another irc server such as GAMESNET which i currently use. Can anyone tell me what to modify or what to do?

cool

That's exactly what I'm trying to do here(not that server though).....it has to be "signed and compiled".

Thanks AWS! :D I can't wait to get this set up on another server! I'm sure it can't be that difficult, if I only knew how. The only tutorials I've found seem to assume you already know something about this. :cross-eyed:

What you need:

Java SDK 1.3 (1.4 is current but the applet source won't compile on it. You might not need to compile the applet.)
Jarsigner
Keytool (these tools are part of Java SDK)

How to sign it:

Create a directory to work in. Mine is called j-sign.
Make sure java is in your path.
CD into the working directory.

Now we want to create a cert to sign the applet.

at prompt type this, change any of the bracketed vars to what you want:

keytool -genkey -keystore [ whatever.store ] -alias [ yourcertname ]

Answer the questions that it asks and when you give it a password write it down so you don't forget it.
This will create your cert, now we just have to make it ready for signing.

At prompt:

keytool -export -keystore [ whatever.store ] -alias [ yourcertname ] -file [ yourcertname.cer ]

Make sure the name you give for the file has .cer extension

OK. You got your cert. There should be a file in the j-sign directory called yourcertname.cer.

Now cd into the directory where you untarred or if on Windows unzipped the eirc source and libs. You shouldn't have to compile the source. There are 2 jar files already compiled that you can use. Copy the .jar files to your j-sign directory. CD back to that dir.

Now lets sign them:

jarsigner -keystore [ whatever.store ] EIRC.jar [ yourcertname ]

You will be prompted for the password for your store, the pw you gave when you created the cert, type it in and in a second or 2 the applet will be signed to connect to any IRC server.
Repeat the step above to sign EIRC-gfx.jar and move the signed files to your docroot and test it out.

Remove the brackets when you do this.

The applet will now work with any IRC server that you choose to connect to. Just change the vars of the applet html page.
