| |
| − | === ...with an external client ===
| |
| − | If you prefer using some external client software for chatting, you need the following connection data:
| |
| − | * IP-Adresse: ''78.47.132.50''
| |
| − | * Server name: ''chat.xhodon.de''
| |
| − | * Port: ''6641''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Your nickname in the chat has to be identical to your name in the game.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Finding out the server password ====
| |
| − | To establish the connection the server you need its password. This password is your private ''Session-ID'' within [[Xhodon]]. When connecting to the IRC server, you '''have to''' be logged on to the game!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Be sure to close the ingame chat before trying to connect with an external client, because you cannot be connected twice with the same nickname. In this case the server will terminate your connection.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can figure out the ''Session-ID'' as follows:
| |
| − | *In the game start the chat by clicking the link "''Hall Chat''" in the [[menu bar]].
| |
| − | *As soon as the chat starts, open the page's source code.
| |
| − | ::If you use the web browser ''Firefox'', open the menu "''View''" and click the menu item "''View page source''".
| |
| − | ::If you use ''Internet Explorer'', open the menu "''View''" and click the menu item "''Source''".
| |
| − | *In the source code look for a paragraph that looks like this:
| |
| − | <frameset rows="100%,180">
| |
| − | <frame src="index.php" name="xhodon">
| |
| − | <frame src="<nowiki>http://chat.xhodon.de/chat_en/ ?game_path=http://en1.xhodon.co.uk/xhodon/&port=6641
| |
| − | &user=Username&pass=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdef&Channel[]=Halle&Channel[]=GildenChannel</nowiki>" name="hox">
| |
| − | </frameset>
| |
| − | The 32-digit code behind <tt>&pass=</tt> is the needed ''Session-ID'' and as well the server password (in the example the password is "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdef").
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This ID changes every time you log on to the game. So each time you have to figure it out anew and enter it into the connection settings in your chat client.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Finding out the NickServ password ====
| |
| − | If you like to use all functions of the chat (register channels, access secured channels etc.), you must log on to NickServ. The needed password has to be figured out by monitoring the network traffic using some appropriate ''network analysis software''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===== Short instructions =====
| |
| − | You monitor the network traffic between your browser and the chat server while establishing the chat connection. You can use for example
| |
| − | *[http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f4db40af-1e08-4a21-a26b-ec2f4dc4190d&displaylang=en Microsoft Network Monitor] or
| |
| − | *[http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].
| |
| − | Search for the packets containing
| |
| − | <pre>PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY abcdefghij</pre>
| |
| − | In this example the needed password is "abcdefghij". Copy it to your chat client's connection setup, or identify manually using the command
| |
| − | <pre>/msg NickServ identify abcdefghij</pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:Screenshot_IRC_Password.jpg|thumb|600px|Screenshot of the Microsoft Network Monitor]]
| |
| − | ===== Step by step instructions =====
| |
| − | In the following instructions it is assumed that you use the ''Microsoft Network Monitor'', see the link some lines above.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The numbers in the picture correspond to the following steps:
| |
| − | #First open a new capture tab by clicking on "''New Capture''".
| |
| − | #Now click on the "''Capture Filter''" tab to enter a filter rule.
| |
| − | #Enter the filter rule:<br/><tt>Tcp.DstPort == 6641 AND ContainsBin(FrameData, 0, "IDENTIFY")</tt>
| |
| − | #...and confirm your input by clicking the button "''Apply''".
| |
| − | #The filter rule now be displayed in the form field.
| |
| − | #Now start the monitoring process by clicking the button "''Start''", then switch to your web browser and connect to the chat from within the game.
| |
| − | #As soon as the hall chat opens successfully, the Network Monitor should "catch" a packet matching the entered filter. Stop the monitoring process now by clicking the button "''Stop''" (see no.6).
| |
| − | #Select the packet and take a look at its details displayed in the lower right window area. You should find in this packet the text snippet<br/><tt>PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY abcdefghij</tt><br/>The 10-digit data word behind the "IDENTIFY" is the NickServ password you were looking for ("abcdefghij" in this example). Copy it to your chat client's connection setup, or identify manually using the command <pre>/msg NickServ identify abcdefghij</pre>

In the hall you find many players who can answer questions and help you with problems, or who just meet and have a chat.
The hall consists of many seperate "rooms" called "channels". Some of them are open to the public, others are private as for example some guild channels.
You will automatically join to all these channels including your guild channel (if you are member of a guild) the second you enter the Hall Chat via the link in the game.
