God-irc's Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few questions that I have been asked, with (hopefully) answers that you can understand and help you with God-irc !!

Q: I accidentaly clicked "dont show on connect" for profiles chooser, how do i get it back ?

A: Right click on channel and choose God-irc utilities, at the bottom u see Load profile. Choose that and untick the box "dont show on connect" hit close or try to load up a profile.


Q: How do I install and start God-irc ?

A: Easy! Just download the full version zip from this website, extract all the folders from inside it and double click the Godirc.exe! You will then be asked to answer a few questions about the setup of your God-irc, to suit your tastes. This should only take a moment.

Q: I move Godirc.exe to my desktop and it ruins it !

A: You cannot move Godirc.exe to your desktop as it needs all the folders where it is situated. You will have to create a shortcut to Godirc.exe and put that on your desktop.

Q: God-irc sometimes seems to freeze and I have to use ctrl/alt/del to close it !!

A: If this happens, press ctrl and the break key (above page up). This will cause the script to stop looping and will give you a message in your status window where it happened. Email me this message if it keeps happening.

Q: My right click menu seems to stop working after a while?

A: This seems to be a bug with Win XP, but only for a very few users. If this happens, just restart God-irc.

Q: I get a virus alert when I download God-irc (+ patch) ?!

A: There is NO virus in God-irc !! (otherwise I'd be fucked!!) For some reason, some mirc ini scripts cause virus alerts, but there is no need to worry about it.

Q: Sometimes when I type in channels, my text does not appear in God-irc but other people can see it !

A: This happens when you perform a L-whois or Q-whois on someone and you aren't authed !! You can fix it by typing //unset %_who in God-irc. There will be a fix for this in God-irc v5.

Q: I have UT2k3 on a different drive to my God-irc but it doesn't run from God-irc ?

A: I dont know why this is, I am looking into it. The best fix is to move your God-irc folder to the same drive as UT2k3.

Q: I don't like all the colours and net-talk in God-irc !

A: You can do 2 things here. Either change the colours using the channel look setup or God-irc net-talk setup, or you can turn off net-talk from options !!

Q: I put my channel joins in Perform but it doesn't work ?

A: God-irc uses its own auto-join system called "Profiles". You can set these up by typing /psetup and configuring them from there. You load up your desired profile when you connect to a server.

Q: Every time I start God-irc, the intro starts up !

A: If this happens, its because God-irc is not saving your variables for some reason !! To stop this happening, type: //set %finishedconfig yes

Q: I think I have an IRC virus - can I get rid of it ?

A: The best way to stop getting these viruses is not to click links that pop up in pms from people you dont know !! You can remove the virus by following the instructions at: http://www.northparade.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=10249#10249
