As you would all know, it sometimes can get hard to test out and nail down bugs you find in the game for one simple reason: communication across teams (and even on the same teams) is difficult at times due to the infancy of the chat system in DUST 514. So how do we solve this dilemma?
It's simple really. I've gone an setup two channels of communication. The first is an IRC channel on Coldfront, CCP's traditional IRC home. For those that don't know what IRC is, it's basically network notepad; a simple text chat room. It's simple to use, really light weight (you can run it on two tin cans and a piece of string) and easily supports lots of people. The second is a voice channel on C3 - think teamspeak/vent/mumble, but without all the server hiring nonsense they normally entail.
First off, IRC details. You can find Coldfront (the IRC server) by pointing your IRC client irc.coldfront.net. If you don't want to install and run your own client, you can easily use this page (requires Flash). Chances are most of you haven't used IRC before, so I'll give you a basic run down on how you get on and get registered.
- When you start up your client, you'll be prompted for a name. Best to stick to letters and numbers with no spaces - you can use an underscore as a replacement if you wish. (Some people have taken to adding clan tags - if you want to do this, use [tag] AFTER your name).
- [WEB CLIENT LINKED ABOVE ONLY] Once you've connected to Coldfront, chances are you'll be in the default channel. You can leave that by typing /leave
- type /ns register password email address . Make sure the email address is one you can access, you'll need to get a code from it.
- With that complete, check your inbox for a new message from Coldfront. If it's not there, check your spam folder. Once you have that, type /ns auth code where code is the code you received in the email. (Chances are you can copy paste the whole command from the email if you're lazy)
- With that done, your account is now setup! Every time you connect to Coldfront, you should always type "/ns Identify password" to login in again. (Most dedicated IRC clients can automate this for you, so RTFM if you're using one).
- Now that you have a registered account, post in this thread stating your registered nickname. This is important as I need to add you to the allowed list as the channel is invite only to keep out non-NDA covered people.
- Once Nova Knife or myself have posted back in this thread that you have been added to the invite list, you can then use /cs invite #DUST514-beta to join the channel. (For ease of access, you can also add the beta channel to your auto join list by using /ns ajoin add #DUST514-beta)
- You're now in! Start chatting!
There is also a channel for general DUST 514 discussion on Coldfront: #DUST514 (use /join #DUST514 to get into it). Remember that you can not talk about anything covered by the NDA in #DUST514 as it is open to the public. CCP does visit frequently, so chances are high you will get caught. So keep the NDA discussion to the beta channel - that's what it's for.
Second, C3. If you want to use C3, you can download it from here. Setting up an account is pretty easy for C3, so I won't go into details about it (though if enough people complain it's too hard, I'll write a guide and continue to worry for the future of humanity). Again, you will need to post in this thread with your C3 username so I can add you to the allowed list in the channel. Once I've posted you're on the list, you can join the channel by clicking here. Yes, really, it's that easy. (If it asks you for a password, try 514. Shouldn't do so, but people have reported it's happening. If that doesn't work, hit me up on IRC and I'll try to sort it out.)
If you have any problems setting up your account but you can get onto IRC, you can get in contact with me by using /query Grideris - this will open a private chat. However, you should check if I'm online before you do so by using /whois Grideris. If I'm not around, you can also talk to Nova (who you may know as Nova Knife on the forums) - he can sort you out if need be. If you can't get onto IRC, you can tweet to me, or alternatively you can email me: [email protected].
(And yes, I cleared this with CCP before I made them. Plus the NDA says you can freely discuss stuff with other NDA bound people, and this will adhere to this requirement.) |

And that's the first one done. Though a couple of the GMs did actually beat you to it.  |
