In the chat.gf file, you'll see settings for the chat server your game server is logging into. The default settings are the GameSpy server. Now, if the GS server goes down or won't allow you to connect (as happened a month or so ago for several weeks), you won't have chat in the game. It is possible to use a different chat server, and currently (to the best of my knowledge), SFCX.net is hosting a chat server. To connect to their chat server, you need to edit the chat server entries in your chat.gf file. I don't have the details at hand at the moment, but perhaps if either one of the SFCX/net guys, or FireSoul, can post the details or send them to you, or perhaps get in touch with them. Alternatively, you can also set up your own chat server and use that. Again, SFCX.net or FireSoul have the details for that.

The ip of the SFCx server is

irc.sfcx.org, port 6999 try that.

 Hello all.

Just wanted to let all D2 server admins know that you are all welcome to use the SFCx IRC server for your D2 campaigns / servers.

You will need to put in the following in chat.gf:

[IRCServers\Address]
0="irc.sfcx.org"

[IRCServers]
Port=6999


Besure and change the Port value in your chat.gf or you will not connect. The server is not monitoring the standard 6667 port.

Also a few things to note:
1) the server is a bit slow at connection (this is a known issue that we are working on) so you might wnat to increase the delay before first turn
2) this server is dedicated but is on a frac-T1 so heavy use could cause slowdowns
3) max channels for any "client" is 20 so all the channels for OP should now be available (not tested)
4) all from this community are welcome to use the IRC service both for servers or just for general chat but please keep it clean
5) further changes and tweaking may cause brief outages, we will try to keep them as breif as possible
6) problems connecting (other than case #1 and 2 above) contact me at cptcastrin@pegicorn.com

That's it. Hope this helps any admins that need a chat server.

gl gh and hf!
