Adding or editing servers
Snak comes with an updated list of about 350 major IRC servers on many networks
from around the world, but there is a great deal more.
The list is stored in the file servers.ini in the UserScripts folder. It comes
from the excellent PC IRC client mIRC and is used with permission from the author.
The author updates the list regularly and you can download an updated list from
the mIRC website at http://www.mirc.co.uk/servers.ini
To use an updated mIRC server list in Snak, just place it in the UserScripts folder.
It is only read into the program when it starts up, so be sure the program is
not running when you replace the server list.
If you use a server that is not already in the list you can easily add it so that
you can use it in a profile and access it in the server list. To add a server
or network, open the Server Selection dialog with Cmd-E or choose the Server List
item in the Windows menu.
To add a server, first select the network to which the server belongs. If the
network is not already in the list of networks you can add it by pressing the
Add button to the left of the network list.
Once a network is selected you can add servers by pressing the Add button that
is to the left of the server list.
The dialog that comes up contains fields for the server name, what port to use
on the server (typically port 6667), a comment field and a timeout value. If the
server takes a long time to respond you might want to increase the timeout value.
To edit the values for an existing server, select it in the list and press the
Edit button.
