News April 9th
Today, I'm going to go over some more IRC links and stuff
like that :) I believe most Net Linkers are going to IRC
now and I can't ever seem to get in any!! But here are
some of the links to IRC chats where Net Linkers seem to
be most of the time...Please keep in mind, IRC is not fully
complete but will be a new polished version next
week....so they say.
irc.concentric.net:6666/#netlink
Official
Sega Rally IRC Chat-I think
pwchat://irc.funet.fi:6667/#sega
(won't work as a link *boggle*)
Gamegenie
pwchat://cin.il.us.DAL.net:6666/#
also won't work as a link
NOTE:Enter at the end what channel
name you want
News April 10
There should be another upgrade availible at Sega or Planet
Web next week that will contain a polished version of IRC
which may let you do all the commands a regular IRC would
let you. Such as, /msg "name" to private someone anywhere
within that IRC. /help /nick "new name" maybe you can even
change your name there. Hope so. Bugs will be fixed also
such as the mail freeze when checking mail....WBS still
freezes up when typing a long message etc. As you can see,
Planet Web is hard at work with everthing right now....they
changes their page all around so it's easier for them...
note the little eyegore lookin guy at the top of PW's
page heehee.
Games
We are all still waiting for the games announcement
which was supposed to made around now. After being in IRC
since Monday, Scott FnA thinks he knows how games are gonna
work. It's all starting to become clearer....here's what's
up: This is not at all true but is what might happen...
Each Net Link game will have IRC in it and will have a
different name for the channel. Such as Duke Nukem Lobby.
That's where you will go to find someone to play because
there is that "Dial" and "Wait" option on the IRC's now.
Dial would dial directly to your oppenent and Wait
will wait for the other guy to call you. Main menu will
probably be your options menu to input the number you're
calling, or maybe even connect online. Notice when you hit
Dial or Wait it said something about a CD ROM error?
It tries to open a FILE something.exe which will actually
be a real file in the game that is in your Saturn at the time.
Understand? I really hope Sega makes the announcement soon
so this will all be confirmed and not just a mystery.
I'll make sure to have the news here when the announcement
is made.
IRC I got this URL from Bruski.
This link brings you to a "setup' IRC place where you
can choose different channels and also make your own.
Insted of posting different rooms here, just go here instead!
