Hexchat help - how to auto reclaim nick after reconnect reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- longbeast · 2018-09-24 13:07 I've been trying to solve this problem by installing the AutoNick.pl script from the official hexchat addons collection. It fails to load, giving error: "Can't locate HexChat.pm in @INC (you may need to install the HexChat module)" I can't find anything that explains how to do this or where to get that file from. Is there some simple way of reclaiming a nick using a different script, or if not, how do I make this one work? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WhenDatWeedIsGone · 2018-10-09 07:19 What I do is I set the command below to run automatically after joining the server (in that specific network's settings): > /msg nickserv regain Obviously without either < and >. This command will ghost the previous instance and have you take over the nick.
