Hello everybody and welcome to the great Chat-move.

From today on, we’ll be using IRC as well as Kenton’s chat room to chat. Many of you might ask something along the lines of „Why the hell do you change chat rooms?“ Well, many of the members had connection issues, like they were being disconnected without being noticed and missed a lot. Then there were lags and issues concerning changing nicknames. Also, on IRC we’re able to have a working fliesharing system, so we can exchange pictures way easier than before.

That’s history on IRC. Now, many might be Über-confused with IRC, that’s why this tutorial is here. Now, getting on IRC is rather difficult the first time, but once you’re there It’s a matter of two mouse clicks.

Downloading and installing mIRC

go to Mirc.org and download mIRC 6.16 from one of the New York-Servers.
Install the program
Run the installed program
Fill in your personal details and click OK
The window will close and a grey “Favorites”-box will appear

Joining servers and channels

Cancel that “Favorites”-box
Type /server irc.irchighway.net at the bottom of the big white window you see and press “Enter”.
A lot of writing will appear. Don’t pay attention to that.
The favorites-window will appear again. Cancel that again
Again, at the bottom of the big white window (where all the writing appeared), write /join #thetechnodrome and press enter
Now you’re on our channel.
Add our channel to your favorites, so that you don’t have to go through all this next time you join

Basic commands on the channel

/me: Everything following that is an emotion like *shrugs*
/ctcp: Lets you access a certain fileserver.
/nick followed by your new nickname lets you change your nickname

Downloading on IRC

THIS IS A ONCE ONLY THING: Go to "Tools" and click on the little + next to "DCC". Subemenus will be visible. Go to "Ignore" and set it to "Disable". Click OK

Type !list
A lot of writing will appear. Look out for the parts starting with /CTCP
Copypaste one of those CTCP-triggers. NOTE: The text is highlighted, you just don't see the highlighting.
Click "accept"
Use IRC-commands to navigate through the folders.

IRC-commands

dir:Shows you the content of a folder (folders are marked by not having a file extension and their names are written in CAPS)
cd: followed by a foldername takes you into that folder
cd..: takes you back one folder
get: followed by a filename (sans the filesize) starts the download for the file you requested.

NOTE: This tutorial is not complete yet and the imagesharing is not active yet. To get that working, we'll have to change server, but Kid A and I will first have to test that. Meanwhile quakenet will have to do.
