Phoenix Network Forums

does anyone know how to set multiple nicks for multiple networks ?

when i connect to psybnc, it always changes all nicks on networks to the one i connected to it...

I could be wrong but i dont think you can use multi-nicks, it's initially setup for use by one user.

I beleive you can add users once connected but i think it will only allow you to connect with the nick that you set it up with.

Dont know if this helps but it's info...

connect to your bnc with the username/pass that you set at setup.
try /quote bhelp to see all available commands.
one of which should be for adding users ( in the format of username:userident if I don't remember wrong), then you can user an IRC client that support multiple servers to connect to the same bnc but with multiple idents. from there you can connect to each server (network) that you want, each with its own username and ident and such....
have fun.
again, /quote bhelp and read what's available.
Cheers!

Dama, there's one thing you forgot. We only allow one psybnc user(The Psybnc admin user). So that won't work.

mAyDaY, if you have multiple servers/networks added you need to prefix every server command you do with the network prefix.

For example:

If you'd like to add a new network "Anoxs".

/addnetwork an *
/addserver an'irc.anoxs.net :6667 **

If you want to join a channel( ex. #phoenix ) on Anoxs, you use /join an'#phoenix

Changing nicks on the new network goes like this:
/nick an'newnick

Hope my little story helped you. Any other questions psybnc or eggdrop related can be asked on the channel, since there is no real suitable forum for this. This gets stickied for future purposes.

* It doesn't matter what you pick for prefix "an" or "ax" or whatever, as long as it's short and easy to remember.
** ' is used for the latest psyBNC, the older versions use ~.

Rommaster, thank you for the info , but i already knew that... i was just tired of typing

/nick net1'Nick1
/nick net2'Nick2
/nick net3'Nick3
etc...
everytime i logged in....
so i figured maybe theres another way...

the thing dama mentioned is more of a workaround then the real solving... but thnx anyway

woops! somehow when I read this post, all that's left in my mind is it's ok as long as one person's using it. I guess I shouldn't have read it half-asleep then.
Is there a better way to do this guys? coz that net'serv thing is pretty cumbersome sometimes (can't use tab to tab through the nicks in the userlist for example.)

yep, i agree.. i'm really interested in knowing if ever there is another way to do a multiple network connection in psybnc.. it's kinda disturbing looking at the nicks with prefixes

You CAN do it!
