Illarion IRC Chat and Chrome

Post by Alli Zelos »

Hello! Because it's been bothering me for the past 6 months...

There is a link on the homepage that takes you to the Illarion IRC Chat... Is that embedded chat compatible with Google Chrome? Just wondering if I'm just being stupid or not. When I click the link, I get all of the writing from the first half of the page, but the second half, entitled "Chat," stays blank, no matter how long I wait. (The part that usually has the IRC box, with people talking in it.) :?

Thank you!

That thingy requires the java plugin.

Its not working on my chrome to be honest, I'm sure there's a java plugin to get it to work.

I'm not alone! :D


I reinstalled the Java plugin (Version 6, Update 24, which is supposedly compatible with Chrome), but still no luck. The Java-checker thing on the Java website said I had the Java plugin properly installed, too.

Java testy thing--> http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

Any ideas? :(

It is likely that the irc plugin is plain and simple not working anymore. This IRC applet has a ancient code base that is nearly as old as Illarion itself.

How ever. Due the lack of alternatives and the lack of time I suffer, there won't be a alternative plugin for now. So I suggest you either use a different browser or you use a third party IRC chat application.

Done. Thank you, Nitram. ^_^ I was just making sure it wasn't something I was doing wrong.
