Swift Kit - Explained

SWIFTKIT CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT: http://www.swiftkit.net/index.php?page=downloads

Step 1:

Open up swiftkit and its Internal Utilities, go down the tabs on the right hand side until you find a Pac Man looking icon, Click this.



Step 2:

Click the options button to the left of the tab above the 'New Server Window' button, another Window should pop up called 'Chat Options'. After it opens click the 'Add' Button to the right of the Window.



Step 3:

After you have clicked the 'Add' Button another Window will pop up with fields to fill in, Fill them all in but DO NOT fill in the Port or Server password.

Server Hosts names:

hades.de.eu.SwiftIRC.net
talon.nl.eu.SwiftIRC.net
titan.fl.us.swiftirc.net
cookies.ca.us.SwiftIRC.net
lunar.nl.eu.SwiftIRC.net



Step 4:

Once you have filled out the form you will find half way down the 'Edit Server' Window you will see a sub heading called 'Auto Join Channels'. Click the Add button and another window will appear, Type in #PC|Elite as the channel but leave the password blank then click 'Save'.



Step 5:

After you have added the Channels you wish to auto join look to the very bottom of the Window and Tick All the Boxes



Step 6:

After all this has been done click 'Save' and you will be taken back to the 'Chat Options' Window, Here you must Select the Server you wish to join (MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED) then click the Connect button. (THIS WILL AUTO IDENTIFY YOU)



Removing +F on SK IRC:

For those who cannot see some words, it means you have +f turned on, To turn it to -f using Swift kit, Click the Start Tab on the IRC client, Go to Options then click the IRC Tab in the pop up window. Click the box "Enable message filtering" so the tick is removed. Click Apply. This will enable you to see all Links and Swear words, It also will stop you from hving to type in /mode <Nick> -f then click apply

The IRC window is too small for my liking -.-

If you go to "Utilities" and go to IRC Client, you can make your own window that you can make as large or small as you'd like. It's quite useful and you can have it on a seperate place on the screen as well.

I havent used SK yet. Im still using SS

SS 4 lyfe

You missed out some of the servers. Here is a full list:
darklite.be.eu.SwiftIRC.net
hades.de.eu.SwiftIRC.net
talon.nl.eu.SwiftIRC.net
cookies.ca.us.SwiftIRC.net
titan.fl.us.swiftirc.net
illusion.tx.us.swiftirc.net

Turns out you only missed one. Theres however 4 more servers: One for service bots (like "X"), one for connecting via a web client (CGI), the hub in the US and the hub in Europe. These last 4 are useless however.

All swift irc servers have the following ports open to connect by:
6666, 6667, 6668, 6669, 7000

And for SSL: (If you don't know what it is, you don't use it)
6697

You may want to update it abit since you don't need to join it with "Start" and there is auto identify now.

Tiko and separate IRC client FTW.

SK doesn't work on macs...

SS was much better can i still download it? and if so were?

I like sk way better then ss now
