    IRC Channel Tutorial (for GAIMers)

    Below is a step-by-step guide for adding IRC/a chat into your GAIM account, created by your neighborhood GAIMer! (Me! )


    ---------------------------------------------------
    This is for creating a GAIM IRC account
    ---------------------------------------------------


    Step 1) Open up your buddy list.





    Step 2) Click on the "Accounts" menu, and then on "Add/Edit" (shortcut is Ctrl+A)





    Step 3) Once inside the menu, click on the dialog box that reads "Add".





    Step 4) Select "IRC" from the "Protocol" drop-down menu.





    Step 5) Enter in the required information (Screen name, server, and an alias if you like). Click the "Save" button.





    ---------------------------------------------------
    The following is for adding the IRC Chat
    ---------------------------------------------------


    Step 6) Return to the buddy list. Click on the "Buddies" button from the file menu, and select "+ Add Chat"





    Step 7) From the "Account" drop-down menu, select your newly created IRC account.





    Step 8) Enter the necessary information. Then click the "Add" dialog box.





    Step 9) Open up the group you added the chat to, on your buddy list. Double-click it to join! (It will open as another tab in your IM window, if you have it configured that way like me).

    Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Zephyr: Apophis is clearly a highly sophisticated self-aware AI construct that runs on a highly modified toaster oven in Wyzcrak's basement.

    Poe, when you join #tacticalgamer, are you manually performing /authserv, or is there a way to automate it?

    That should allow you to do it automatically. There is no core, built-in way at the moment, which is why a plug-in is necessary.


    (Don't even try to work out some elaborate, sneaky thing with buddy pounces... trust me, doesn't work).
