User Manual [Client]
When you first download Charl, you'll want to run the client binary. On Windows this will be a shortcut on your desktop, on OSX this will be a .app in your library, and on most linux distros with will be in your internet application category (or of course, type "charl-client" in your terminal).
Use the command
/connect 127.0.0.1:1240
replacing 127.0.0.1:1240 with the address of the server you intend to join. If you decide you want to join a different server at some point later, run
/disconnect
To login, use
/login username password
The password field is optional if the alias isn't claimed on the server. To logout, simply run
/logout
If you've just logged in as an unclaimed alias, you can claim it for yourself permanently using the register command. NOTE: Passwords on Charl servers are stored in PLAIN TEXT. Use a trash password.
/register password
You can revoke your claim at any point later with
/unregister
Charl servers have virtual channels. Any positive integer value is a valid channel. You can go to a channel using
/hop 78494
substituting the number with your desired channel. Some channels have passwords set by the admin, so that conversations there remain private and the people can be verified. To join these channels just append a password to the hop command.
/hop 78494 password
To send a message to a specific recipient, without any other audience, you can use the message command. For example, to message user "l3ah", use
/msg l3ah My secret key is 77822293933!
Please be careful when using this command to include the preceding "/", otherwise it will be treated as a normal chat entry rather than a command, and it will be broadcast to everyone in your channel.
The message command works across all channels, so it can also be used to check if someone is online using
/msg l3ah
