Click/type to rename the network to FuelRats as shown below. This will insert a new network at the top of the list. Once you have entered your nicknames, click on the ‘ Add’ button. The ‘User name’ field is the name that shows up if anybody queries who you are in IRC and should match your registered IRC nick (see the IRC FAQ). Use underscores instead of spaces, if you have any in your name. In most cases this would be your CMDR name in-game. Enter your desired IRC nicknames (the 3 rd is optional). The first time you run HexChat a Network List window will appear. if you run into such problems, install the 32-bit version.Ģ - Connecting to the Fuel Rats IRC server

Some Cmdrs reported problems with getting alerts to run with the 64-bit version of hexchat on Windows. Once connected, you can adjust a few other things if you want. You don't have to set up kiwi to rejoin channels every connection but you have to join them at least once using /join #fuelrats, /join #ratchat for the client to remember them. If you enter your password for the registered nick into the password line, kiwi will identify with NickServ for you. Setting up the network is fairly simple and will be remembered on the computer you are using for next time.

( *see note above about current issue with this IRC client) For example if you wanted to be notified of a new case you'd enter 'ratsignal' without the quotation marks. The full version of Kiwi has a bit more features:īoth versions have custom highlights (pings on words of your choice) under Settings > Notifications > Highlight on words. If you go with our Fuel Rats version (our website widget), you won't have any features such as automatic identify on login, so you will have to do such things manually via nickserv commands. Since kiwi is web-based there's no download & installation needed. We advise you do not use it until this has been fixed. * Currently this version is problematic, as it relays your connection details in a manner that may get you disconnected. The non-SSL link may be needed if you use Firefox.
