Once the account has been added you will need to configure the server variable (e.g.):
  * {{{account "exact-email-or-account-number-string-above" set connect_server crypticspace.com}}}
Issue the following command to configure the Bee to show "full names" (which is the mode Cryptic uses):
  * {{{account jabber set nick_source full_name }}} (This is assuming this is your only account. Substitute ''jabber'' for whatever name you've set for this account)

How to connect to STO (Cryptic Studios: Star Trek Online) - XMPP (Jabber) Services via !BitlBee

Cryptic has provided experimental support for Gold members (Lifetime Subscribers, or "LTS") allowing connections to in game channels using XMPP.

To connect, you will need a lifetime subscription to Star Trek Online. Secondly, you'll need the libpurple branch of BitlBee

Server

  • crypticstudios.com
  • jabber
    • Port: 5222

Login

  • STO uses one of two variants to log in. Either:
    • E-Mail Adresses
    • Account number (usually in the format of '#1#123456789' as an example)

It's recommended if one method doesn't work for you, try the other.

Here is a typical add-line for the email account method (note, the '@' in the email address is replaced with a \40 escape sequence):

  • account add jabber "name\40domain.com@crypticspace.com" your-password-here

  • The "'s as shown above are mandatory

Here is an add-line using an account number:

  • account add jabber "#1#123456789@crypticspace.com" your-password-here

  • The "'s as shown above are mandatory

Issue the following command to configure the Bee to show "full names" (which is the mode Cryptic uses):

  • account jabber set nick_source full_name  (This is assuming this is your only account. Substitute jabber for whatever name you've set for this account)

This is enough to get connected. You should be able to command:

  • account on <-- this will enable all accounts you've configured

Chat

At this point you may want to use custom chat channels. The difference here is you will connect to server: "channels.crypticspace.com" Here is an example add-line:

  • chat add jabber "My\\20Channel@channels.crypticspace.com" #My_Channel

  • (At this point, you may have noticed the \\20, this is a space)
  • You can search the web for web escape codes which will help you with any other special characters you might need.


Live Long and Prosper,
