## 1\. First steps
-And example how to add servers:
+IRC Networks are made of servers, and servers have channels. The default config has a few predefined networks, to list them:
-(OFTC network, identify with nickserv and wait for 2 seconds before joining channels)
+ /NETWORK LIST
+And to connect to one of those networks and join a channel:
- /NETWORK ADD -autosendcmd "/^msg nickserv ident pass;wait 2000" OFTC
+ /CONNECT Freenode
+ /JOIN #irssi
+To add more networks:
-(NOTE: use /IRCNET with 0.8.9 and older)
+ /NETWORK ADD ExampleNet
-Then add some servers to different networks (network is already set up for them), irc.kpnqwest.fi is used by default for IRCNet but if it fails, irc.funet.fi is tried next:
+Then add some servers (with -auto to automatically connect):
+ /SERVER ADD -auto -network ExampleNet irc.example.net
- /SERVER ADD -auto -network IRCnet irc.kpnqwest.fi 6667
- /SERVER ADD -network IRCnet irc.funet.fi 6667
- /SERVER ADD -auto -network efnet efnet.cs.hut.fi 6667
+Automatically join to channels after connected to server:
+ /CHANNEL ADD -auto #lounge ExampleNet
-Automatically join to channels after connected to server, send op request to bot after joined to efnet/#irssi:
+To modify existing networks (or servers, or channels) just ADD again using the same name as before. This configures a network to identify with nickserv and wait for 2 seconds before joining channels:
+ /NETWORK ADD -autosendcmd "/^msg nickserv ident pass;wait 2000" ExampleNet
- /CHANNEL ADD -auto #irssi IRCnet
- /CHANNEL ADD -auto -bots *!*bot@host.org -botcmd "/^msg $0 op pass" #irssi efnet
+If you have irssi 0.8.18 or higher and the irc network supports it, you can use SASL instead of nickserv, which is more reliable:
+ /NETWORK ADD -sasl_username yourname -sasl_password yourpassword -sasl_mechanism PLAIN Freenode
-If you want lines containing your nick to hilight:
+These commands have many more options, see their help for details:
+ /HELP NETWORK
+ /HELP SERVER
+ /HELP CHANNEL
+ /HELP
+
+If you want lines containing your nick to hilight:
/HILIGHT nick
+Or, for irssi 0.8.18 or higher:
+
+ /SET hilight_nick_matches_everywhere ON
+
