IRC channel setup

[glavinics]

Hi All,

I would like to join the IRC channel, but it seems I have difficulties.
I have a problem with my nickname registration.

How and where can I do it?

Thanks for support,
Gergely

IRC nickname issues are handled on IRC - by the people who run the network. Join #oftc on the OFTC network (that's the one OpenTTD has it's channel on as well). And bring some patience. It's not like people necessarily idle all day in a channel waiting for someone to drop by.

Hello planatmaker,

Thanks for the hint, now I'm registered and identified, but I still cannot write to channel
It says:
Error(404): #openttd.dev Cannot send to channel

#OpenTTD seems to work.

Any idea?

Thanks for support,
Gergely

some channels are like that, only specific people may post there, other people can join but only listen.

#openttd is unrestricted who may talk there. And it is usually the place to talk about anything OpenTTD related, including and especially concerning development
#openttd.dev has additionally set the channel mode 'moderated' which means that only people who got voice can talk there. If you need to talk there, ask in #openttd for voice. That channel is only active when the main channel fails to be useful due to too much chit-chat or spam - so one usually doesn't need to worry about it (Is it linked anywhere as *the* channel to go to?)

(and I saw your IRC message only now... quite a bit delay )

Ok thanks
It is clear and it seems my settings are ok now
I just never used IRC before.

Nevertheless I just cloned the repo from git and started working/playing a bit on mac os.
I could compile which is a good start, let see what brings the future... I just discovered the game after some years again (I'm impressed about the evolution).
Maybe now I can also add some value not just enjoy the benefit of community effort since it is open source.

Great Especially the OSX port is more or less not maintained as none of the active developers really owns such device - which maintaining it pretty tricky. Looking forward to your contributions
