The Ultimate 13 group of servers has recently started an IRC server:
ultimate13.dynu.com port 6667 default channel #Ultimate13
User it for anything you want, just logon and....do whatever.
questions or comments? AIM: Flieslikeabrick or other contact info on the U13 site.
I had to take the server down because of hacker implications with one of the regulars. Come visit us on quakenet, itll still have the same bot functions and everything too :D

Channel name #u13
irc server: Quakenet
Website: http://ultimate13.dynu.com:6080 http://u13.sytes.net
Channel Ultimate 13 Soldat

This channel is for the general discussions among the ultimate 13 soldat regulars and non-regulars alike.
Please stop by!

why didnt you just make channel to quakenet?

oh yeah, i forgot to mention:

in certain channels, there are bots that allow for you to see the server status (the same information as is available on my site when the server is up: # of players, who is playing, team scores, player scores, maxplayers, server password) and there will also soon be a bot to allow you to look up player's stats through the bot. It is easier for me to set these up (working with SkeptiK) on my server, and these bots work about 4-5 times faster when they run on the same comp as the IRC server, so that is why i am running a server rather than just having a channel.

uber leet it is... :)

[URL] <<--is the current info of the server if its up :)
^^ thats the quick way of joining it.. there is also a link in teh site :)

the problem is that its such complicated to come to other network so there wont be such many ppl as would be in quakenet

>>the problem is that its such complicated to come to other network

yea very, 5 s. of work...

it is complicated, especially on xchat..

...n00b just stop using xChat it blows..so stop using it

and how difficult can it be.. even i can do it :)

The bot runs on the same computer as the website and the IRC server, and the bot works with my U13 site to get server information. So when someone makes a request to the bot, the bot contacts the website, gets the information, parses it, and echoes it back to the server and user. When the bot runs on the same comp as the IRC server, that eliminates the need for 2 extra packets to be sent over long distances, and when it runs on the same comp as the IRC server and website, then it will overall run about 4-5 times faster, because everything is processed locally.

But if it's on the same box but connecting to another network (say, QuakeNet) it'll still be processing locally...if it takes 4-5 times longer to send just 2 packets to an IRC server then I'd doubt the usefulness of running an ircd...

You make it sound like long distances are bad...most large networks will have several servers in the US, so I don't really see how this is a problem.

my last post cleared it up pretty well i thought. It saves 2 trips, and having everything on the same box saves 4-5. I know we are just talking about no more than half a second, but it matters somewhat so that once the bots are publicly accesible, people dont get impatient and hammer the bots. Besides, IRC does make a good addition to the Ultimate 13 server group, be it necessary or not.

well, unfortunately, right now i have to take the IRC server down because someone on there got another person quite pissed off, so then they begun a DDoS attack on my connection. Maybe itll be back if/when this blows over, maybe it won't
-Brick

i still recommend you to change to Quakenet

Do you know what the police is for? Report them, and your server gets some peace... :D

pawnt

Ok, the IRC is back online. All problems have been resolved.
