New release of tiramisu irc client (previously eris) will be available soon, in the meantime you can download the latest release of eris here.
To use it, you will need either a shell access to the irc server you want it to connect to, or the address of an irc server already serving flash policy file on some port.
In case of irc server already serving flash policy file, you just need to host the files somewhere and edit the config.xml:
- change your.irc.server.address.here to the address of that irc server (for example aurora.irc.arloria.net)
- change the port if different than 6667 (8080 for aurora)
- change ssl to true if needed (true for aurora)
- change policyport to the port irc server is listening on for policy file connections (8001 for aurora)
- change #yourchannel to the channel you want it to join
In case you want it to connect to your own irc server, you’ll have to launch policyserv.tcl script on your server, preferably under screen, with tclsh policyserv.tcl, or without screen, for example tclsh policyserv.tcl >policy.log &. All the other files can be hosted either on the same server or entirely different machine, it doesn’t make any difference. You should however make sure that you’ve edited both config.xml and policyserv.tcl properly:
- in config.xml, change your.irc.server.address.here to the address of your irc server
- change the port from 6667 to different one if needed, in both config.xml and policyserv.tcl
- enable ssl in config.xml if needed
- change the policyport from 8001 to different one if needed, in both config.xml and policyserv.tcl (that’s the port tcl script will be listening on)
- change #yourchannel in config.xml to the channel you want it to join
Additional settings for config.xml:
- change services to true if you want password field for nickserv to show up
- change realname to true if you want realname field to show up (otherwise realname will be set to your website url)
- change encoding to something different than utf-8 if needed
- change skin to the name of the skin you want to use (check the files in skins folder)
All the other settings should remain unchanged.
