Help to get IRC started:
This is a simple guide, for people who might want to find our way to get to our Community Channel, or Other clan Channels. It also shows you a little bit more, and will always get updated.
Internet Relay Chat
Downloading the software:
To get the list of country downloads go to http://www.mirc.com/get.html .
1.Configuring the software:
In the MIRC options, enter the required details such as Name, Nickname & Email address (This is all in the connect section of the options). To Connect to a Server, go to the Servers, sub tab underneath the Connect tab. Then move across to the IRC Server Box, and select the appropriate one, ( In this case Quakenet). Then Connect to server.
2.Once Connected:
A large box shall come down with writing which displays server rules and help. In the type box, you can do multiple commands, but to join a channel you do /join [#Channel] Example: /join #dbcommunity. This will then connect you to the required channel you want.
3.The more complex stuff:
If your in a clan, or want to play in Pickup games you will need a Auth. An Auth is like an identification tag for you. Once signed up you get your own username and password.
To request this auth, do this command in the server box /msg Q HELLO user@mymailhost.xx user@mymailhost.xx Example: /msg Q HELLO Ash@E-leagues.net Ash@E-Leagues.net
Once this has being done an email will be sent to you with your new auth line. To successfully auth copy the line of command which was sent to you and paste it in the server box or any channel but be carefully when doing this in public channels that you don’t forget to put / or you will spam your Auth to everyone in that channel.
Congratulations you have just Authed
You probably don’t want to copy and paste that command line everytime you go into IRC, which brings me to my next Section in this guide….
4.….Perform:
Perform means Automatic Join… for example if you connect to Quakenet all the time and you always go to #dbcommunity, why not let IRC do that for you? That’s what perform does, you put the commands in which you would do in the Server box and it will automatically do them for when you connect! This is highly recommended, especially for the people who have Auth commands, and go to lots of channels very often.
Go to the options tab in the MIRC options, (It’s a sub section still under Connect) Then click on perform tab… A small box will open up. Click on Add and you can put the required server in. For this example Enter Quakenet, and add it…
Then in the typing space enter the commands you want MIRC to do for you when you connect to Quakenet.
An Example of this is:
/join #a51-clan
/join #deathball
/join #dbpickup
/join #ut2004.jolt
/join #e-leagues
/join #dbcommunity
/join #flau
Its wise to include your Authline here as well.
Then tick the box which says “enable perform on connect”
So now you have your Auth line, you know how to connect to channels and you know how to auth connect to servers and channels.
