FAQ

Discussed here are primarily Nettalk specific issues. General questions about IRC are answered for the most part in Wikipedia's article on Internet Relay Chat. If you can't find the answer to your question in the FAQ or the rest of the [documenation|en]] then you can either ask the question on Nettalk's official help channel at IRC://irc.ntalk.de/nettalk or send an email Nettalk@ntalk.de.

Just click on the following link: IRC://irc.quakenet.org. If this doesn't work then you can also try the following link IRC://83.140.172.212.

A Sock4 proxy server for a single connection can be set using this script.

You are completely free Nettalk to make any changes you like to the Nettalk download and installation. You are only asked to return changes you have made to the executable itself.

If no existing settings are found then Nettalk uses settings from the application directory (Nettalk.ini, Servers.srv, script.txt etc.), and these files can be changed.

In particular, the Nettalk.ini should only be edited by hand so that no unwanted changes creep in. When you specify file paths for the background images and sound files then the paths are not absolute, but should just be the file name (the assumption is that the files are in the Nettalk directory).

Nettalk's script engine offers many opportunities for enhancements. For scripting to be active from the start it is important to ensure that the entry ScriptEnabled in Nettalk.ini is set to -1.

If you want to create a setup, there is also a custom setup script (Nettalk.iss) for the freeware Inno Setup. The necessary Nettalk files are also included: InnoSetupScript.zip

By the running Update.exe (found in the installation directory) you can also immediatlely download the files for the setup as at the current date. This also applies to the USB version.

Simply rename tor delete the file Words.dat from the Nettalk installation directory. The next time you run Nettalk the spelling correction will be turned off.

To set the quit message use the command: /setquitmsg TEXT

To add people to the friends list use the command /watch NICK or right click on the person's nick in either the nick list on the right or in the chat window and select Watch under Additional Commands from the context menu. Note, the only works on servers which support Watch functionality. You will then be notified when these people connect to IRC and their names will be shown in the Friends window which is selectable from the toolbar.

To send files by DCC, TCP/IP traffic has to be enabled between your computer and the recipients computer. However frequently, there are obstacles such as firewalls and routers.

If you have a router, then look under Settings > Connectivity, Standard set DCC port, and Secondary IP for DCC connections policy. The router should have the port set to pass through for the PC. Three pieces of information are therefore required: the source port, destination port and a destination address. The target is the IP address of your computer, both the source and destination port are the A standard set DCC port (recommended is 3900).

Sample configuration for Nettalk (left) and the router (right):

Es gibt eine fertig angepasste Version zum Download:Nettalk6usbv.zip

Bei dieser Version fehlt die Rechtschreibkorrektur um den Speicherplatz zu reduzieren. Sie kann aber aktiviert werden indem einfach die Words.dat hinzu kopiert wird. (Diese kann z.B. aus der Normalen Version entnommen werden: Nettalk6de.zip

Alternativ kann auch die normale Version entsprechend abgeändert werden:

Den “Nettalk-Ordner” einfach auf den USB-Stick Kopieren. Dann eine Datei mit dem Namen “Runmode.ini” im Nettalkordner erstellen (evtl. schon vorhanden) und den Eintrag singelusermode = 1 hinein schreiben bzw. ändern. Somit werden die Einstellungen dann nicht userspezifisch im Einstellungsordner des angemeldeten Benutzers, sondern im Programmordner, also auf dem USB-Stick gespeichert. Durch Hinzufügen des Eintrags noregentry = 1 in der “Runmode.ini” kann auch noch verhindert werden das Nettalk eine Verknüpfung zu IRC:-URLs in der Registry anlegt.
