How to auto-join a channel?

[redactuk]

We have set up many top level channels for each of the games we play, but ideally would like players connecting to automatically enter a Lobby channel from where they can then move elsewhere if they ahev access. Currently it seems all users connecting just sit in the root. Is this possible?

Thanks

You can set the default channel for new users either per server over one of our RPC interfaces or, if you only have one server running anyway simply set the defaultchannel variable in the ini file.

Would look like this:

defaultchannel = CHANNELID

You can figure out the CHANNELID of a channel via RPC, looking into the log files or peeking into the database itself.

You can also offer specific URLs players can click to directly join into a channel. To learn more about those visit our wiki.

Have fun.

That's great, thank you.
