So I thought i'd write up a simple step-by-step guide on how to connect to irc. Guide is aimed towards people who know little about irc, and thus don't understand what it is. I hope this guide can dispell some of that fear:
Simple Guide to Connect to IRC (http://qehs.indiereview.co.uk/webspell/index.php?site=articles&action=show&articlesID=9)
I've never used irc on Linux so couldn't detail the steps, if anyone wants to that would be great! :P As ever have a check if I've put some misleading or wrong info and i'll take a look.

If someone can figure out how to get DP running on Linux, then I'm sure they can figure out IRC ;)

C) Under the word that says ‘Display’ click the word that says ‘Tray.’ Click the check box that says ‘Place mIRC in tray when minimized.’ This is important so the mommies and daddies of all you 12 year olds don’t see the naughty things we say on mIRC.
Made me laff
Nice guide though. Hope it attracts some new faces to the DP matching community. :)
-
Again, if only my newbie guide had been stickied or saved somewhere. It had an mIRC guide on it and this was years ago.

Done

If they are just newbies who just play the game and don't need fancy scripts, they should just use Trillian for irc. Then, I can just post a sshot of the irc settings window for them and they will be set to go.
Also, since most of these "newbies" most likely don't want to pay $ for an irc client, so they will not stay long if they used mirc.
-
Nice job lekky, keep up the good work!

Tell them to contact me. I can get them a version.
-
you dont have to pay for mirc
-
Maybe you should read this guide nopyo. :)
NOTE:
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER TO USE THIS PROGRAM. IT IS FREE AND LEGAL TO USE FOR EVER.

You know, there is always the IRC ran off of the Digital Paintball website, If nothing else, that is a good start for new comers to Matching/Clanning.
-
yea but that connects to etg when were are at ggc
-

Yeah, I probably downloaded a newer version or something. It asked me for like 20 bucks after 10 days.
-
Maybe I should have made it clearer (I thought I did). When it asks you to pay/register, you don't have to, just wait 2 seconds then click continue.
-
Yeah, If you wait for it to stop flashing red, you can just hit continue and get on mIRC.
-
*shoots himself
-
Haha, did you spend money on that silly mIRC?
-
no, I just switched to Trillian. it has less irc functions, but I don't need functions besides chatting anyways.
-
I have a question, I have mIRC but at the moment i don't have a clan,So most of the time it would be 1 vs 1,Will people still match me?
-
You can ask if anyone wants to have a 1v1 scrim, and thats a good way to hone technique as well, especially if playing a superior opponent. You can definitely find people on irc to scrim you 1v1.

IRC TO BE IN THE GUI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything said....
START THERE, anything else is a failure.
-
Does anyone have an answer for why my computer won't connect to irc? It says connection canceled and connection retry over and over and over. Mirc doesn't work and other irc programs. Is this some port problem or what?
Basically
* Connecting to irc.globalgamerscenter.net (6667)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Software caused connection abort)
-
* Connect retry #1 85.214.27.94 (6667)
over and over
-
-
What firewall are you using?
-
I use McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise. I don't know if that helps or not. My school forced dorm residents to install it.
-
Instead of using port 6667, try using one of these 7000, 5555, or 55555.
They've been setup so that people on school networks can access IRC.
-
wow thanks. That worked. I just changed it and reconnected lol. Thank you.
-
the link for this form should be posted on the news section. that way new players can attempt to get irc
-
To complicated.
Java web base.
Stop there and include it in the GUI!

How stereotypical.

Don't revive a month-old dead thread just to comment on someone's joke.
-
My bad. Thought it said Oct. 20. I actually did check because I've been flamed for that in the past.
-
Thanks lekky, gr8 work done...:)
-
If they just play the game novices who do not need fancy script, they should only use Trillian IRC. Then, I can post a sshot their IRC settings window, they will be set to go.

You may need to select the text to see it, black on black is hard to read. Also it probably needs updating anyway, and probably has more dead links.

Is teamspeak free? I am not willing to spend money on mIRC.

You could change your registry and this pop up won't show up. Moreover there are way more IRC-Clients than mIRC.

Ban INC for posting instructions how to hack... :P
Just don't use mIRC, mIRC sucks and idk why people tend to use it, when there are many better clients that are free. I.e. recently I use KVIrc, it is okay, although i'm not yet used to it.

Unstickied this since the link is dead.
