Please note that IRC support may vary depending on the client you’re using. Plus, our IRC server only handles basic commands at the moment, such as PASS, NICK, USER, PRIVMSG, NOTICE, JOIN, PART and QUIT. We’ve tested our IRC server with HexChat, a free and open source IRC client, and it turned out to work pretty well. For iOS, Mutter works just fine.
With a recent update, we’ve added the ability to connect from the game and an IRC client at the same time. You can also connect with multiple IRC clients. We’ve also added SSL support.
Once you’ve installed an IRC client, you can connect to Redstar with these settings:
irc.redstar.moe
6697
with SSL (recommended) or 6667
(without SSL)- Zino -
becomes -_Zino_-
There’s no authentication system (SASL/NickServ, none of that). Your IRC token must be sent with the /PASS (Server Password) method. This is for backwards compatibility with the official server.
If you have connected successfully to redstar’s IRC server, you can start chatting in public channels by typing /JOIN #channel
(eg: /JOIN #osu
to join the main channel). /list
should show all available channels.
