Autojoin invite channels or multiple connect commands with Xchat

iam8up — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:41:35 +0000

Open the network list and on the server you want to do multiple commands with, specify the connect command

/LOAD -e .\profile\somecommands.txt

Then in somecommands.txt

/msg thebot !join foo bar /timer 8 join #firstchaninvite /timer 8 join #topsecret

For me I am start xchat with

xchat.exe -d ".\profile"

making the profile directory easy. By default it’s either in ~/.xchat2 or “%appdata%\X-Chat 2″.

XChat by Silverex for Windows made portable

Silverex’s faq suggests that you can copy and paste the example and run it. It doesn’t work for me and I believe it to be wrong.

I am using DropBox which should act exactly like a thumb drive. May cause havok with multiple clients running at the same time. I only use it on one PC but like having a backup.

I installed XChat to C:\Documents and Settings\jluthman\My Documents\My Dropbox\xchat

Then created C:\Documents and Settings\jluthman\My Documents\My Dropbox\xchat\STARTXCHAT.bat
set PATH=%PATH%;.\lib start xchat.exe -d ".\myxchatsettingsdir"

Works for me.

UPDATE: There are TONS of questions asking how to hide the batch window while an executable called from a batch script is being run. Just invoke the executable with start.
