[daemon32] Guide to Topicmasking on GameSurge! [EASY]

This is a guide to show other users who are not quite capable of comprehending one of the more simpler prospects of GameSurge, which just so happens to be topicmasking. (irc.GameSurge.net:6667 on mIRC).

Now, topic masking is a simple process that is used by 1000's of users. Too explain this process, I will try to go into as much detail as I can without taking up tons of space.

Anyone can write a topic. But, in some cases, people want some part of a topic to be there throughout the entire channel, i.e:
!topic Haha topicamsking is cool.

it will now change topic too,

* ChanServ changes topic to 'Haha topicmasking is cool.'

BUT, say you wanted a part of that to be there all the time, i.e:
!topic Test test test 3 2 1

it will now change topic too,

*ChanServ changes topic to 'Haha topicmasking is cool. Test test test 3 2 1'

It is a very simple and cool aspect of the GmaeSurge ChanServ functions and is used very commonly.

Now, to use this function. Please carefully read the steps below!

Step 1:

Join the channel you wish to topicmask. It must be registered with ChanServ in order to work. Now, the part that you want to always be in your topic, type it into the channel.

Step 2:

Once typed into the channel, copy it. In mIRC you only have to highlight it from left to right and it's copied. Now, type the following, !set topicmask <paste here> *
It should say: -ChanServ- TopicMask Haha topicmasking is cool. *
Make sure you include the asterisk, *, as it is the most vital part of topicmasking.

The asterisk indicates where you want all your topics prior to topicmasking to go, in the example above, Haha topicmasking is cool is the mask, and Test test test 3 2 1 is the asterisk.

Step 3:

Now that you have typed that out, it's time for "defaulttopic." Type out !set defaulttopic <past here>
It should say: -ChanServ- DefaultTopic Haha topicmasking is cool.
Now that you have done that, enter it into the channel you are 80% done.

Step 4:

Now that you have that done, type !set enftopic 501 and then press Enter. This is telling the topic that it wants character 501 (the asterisk) to be where all the coming topics to go.

Step 5:

Type out !topic <enter whatever you wish here>
It should now replace the asterisk with whatever you have typed for the !topic.
