Connecting to the chat from Linux

[Jeroen De Dauw]

I'm only on my Windows when I actually want to play a game, and am a bit bugged at not beeing able to join the chat lobby when I'm on my Linux for two main reasons:

* I can't see when most of my FAF friends are, which is nice to know to decide when to do a game
* I can't ask development questions, which I'd like to do in order to cintribute some stuff back

Is there some sane way to connect to the chat on Linux? (I do not want to run wine.) I figure that if the chat uses some standard protocol such as IRC, this might be possible.

Cool!

I'm having trouble authenticating. I'm using my FAF username and password. Also did a password reset and used the new password.

01:31:53 faf -- | MSG(nickserv): identify ***************
01:31:54 faf -- | NickServ (services@services. localhost. net): Password incorrect.

Is it not possible to connect using my FAF account? I can regsiter a new nick, though that is kinda lame.

Attached screenshot of me connecting with a different nick. Still looking for a way to connect with my main nick

IRC-Password is slightly mixed:
As you can see here: https://github.com/FAForever/lobby/blob ... et.py#L277

Code: Select all

<username><space><md5password>

So:
Username: Guybrush
Password: Threepwood
You have to do: "/msg Nickserv identify Guybrush 947c422c52e156cfea932a1272f16c8f"


Well as you login on Windows, you will be DCed.
So it's may better to rename your IRC Nickname to Guybrush_ with your own Password (because Nickserv register worked in the past) as it is not forbidden to "dualaccount" on fafIRC

Thanks. I'll settle with MyNickname_ then
