Hey Guys,
For those familiar with Trials 2 SE and the ingame chat, you know that you can access the chat from an IRC client.
There is now an official Trials HD channel ! #trialshd
For those not familiar with the process, you simply need to download an irc client and configure it to the following:
Server: redlynxtrials.com or some clients might need : irc.redlynxtrials.com
Channel: #trialshd
There are many irc clients out there, simply google "irc" and take your pick.
For those using Firefox, you can use chatzilla as an add-on.

For those wondering, irc chat works much better than the current webchat that is found in the forum here.
Hope to see you guys in there!

Also, if you have trials 2 SE, there is an ingame chat. From that chat you can connect to the trials hd channel, simply by typing: /join #trialshd
I approve of this message. Sticky please![]()
Does that mean you can type a message whilst in game?
I'd rather start an xbox live party with my mates and chat like that. Hands free.
I hear ya dude, party chat is a great thing, but you are limited to the people on your FR list.
But it definitely has it's place, chatting while you ride.
No.... unfortunately this is not an ingame chat, in Trials 2 SE it was though, and this is an extension of sorts of that chat, basically a different channel, a Trials HD channel.
IRC chat is a bit different I guess, it's a relaxed environment, for when you maybe aren't playing, but it could very well be at the same time. You have the opportunity to meet other Trials riders, that you may not not otherwise meet, and so you may make even better friends there.
IRC has long been a staple of the internet chat environment, it's not for everyone, but it definitely has it's place and purpose.
We are simply encouraging those that are interested to have an offically sanctioned and supplied environment of an IRC nature, where fellow riders may gather to chat about trials or other subjects.
I did not create this IRC channel, it is on redlynx servers as far as I know. Redlynx provides and supports this IRC chat environment.
I guess this all came about after a number of us have used the forum based chat, and found it somewhat unsatisfactory. Redlynx acknowledges it is not the best webchat environment.
After talking with Redlynx, and setting up this particular channel on IRC, on redlynx servers, the regulars of this chat environment are simply extending an invitation to all trials hd users, to participate in this chat.
With over half a million trials riders, if we get 10-20 or even 30 new quality people in chat we will be happy. If there are more... well that would be awesome, and we could even create new channels, for various aspects of trials, or languages even.
If the forum is sufficient for you, so be it, but real time chat with other users is also quite interesting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way denouncing your party chat, or the forums, I am simply offering an alternative to those that may be interested.
I encourage some of you readers to try it out!
I do approve the idea of wanting a more reliable/better chat system (sorry RedLynx) but it also doesn't seem like a good idea to be shuffling people from one chat to another like this. Maybe if RedLynx were to officialize the switch and change the current Webchat link with the new irc chat/instructions/blah then maybe it would work out, but otherwise the only people who will use this chat are the ones who see this post. Everybody else will just keep using the normal chat (that is, if they use it at all) which could split the chat users and leave some people a little confused.
Aside from that, I like the idea. Time to set up Chatzilla![]()
Sorry, I misunderstood before, I thought you meant a typing chat on the xbox. Duh!
I think it is a pretty good idea now. Lol.
I don't often chat whilst in game, but look around this site almost every night at work for whatever reason. It would be nice to chat to people real time, instead of asking a question and waiting a day to see if anyone responded.
You might just see me on there soon.
Ahhme, add this to the OP so people know how to join the IRCTook me awhile to figure it out xD
How to join channel on chatzilla.
1) once downloaded, open chatzilla from the tools tab on firefox.
2) When chatzilla is opened, type on the command/adress bar:
/server redlynxtrials.com
3) When you are in the redlynx server, go to the top tab IRC and join channel...
4)Select #trialsHD
5) Done!
**You can also click IRC tab again and then scroll to 'open this network at startup' so all you have to do is just open chatzilla, simple!
Hey jarrett,
Thanks for the info dude!
I posted it as per ur request, in the op.
Let's see more people in there!
FYI:
I'm not on the channel as a RedLynx representative, I'm there as a player.
