HOW-TO: Join #hackerthreads on IRC !
NoUse's guide was kinda outdated and I was unable to send people to it to get XChat up and running whilst I persuaded them IRC was their future. Therefore, I remade it with the new version of XChat - and lots of pictures.
What is IRC
Wikipedia says:
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message, as well as chat and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client.
Which, in this case, means basically, "A small chatroom revolving around a small niche. In the case of #hackerthreads, that niche is computers, security, programming, geek stuff, girls, and drinking." It also means if you've never been on IRC before, now is the best time to do so!
Lets get Started
First, download XChat from http://www.xchat.org/.
When it's done, start it up. You'll be presented with the XChat network list. It comes preconfigured with a lot of popular IRC networks like Freenode and Efnet, but we'll want to add our own (TDDIRC) to it. So, click Add.
It'll make a new entry in the list. Name it TDDIRC and press enter.
Now click on TDDIRC and press Edit. We need to tell XChat the server location and whatnot.
Type in irc.tddirc.net/6667 for the server and press enter. If you don't press enter to confirm it, sometimes it reverts back to the default one you're changing it from.
Now check the "Connect to this network on startup" box and type in #hackerthreads for the channel to join. Finish by clicking close.
Now that your settings are correct, press Connect.
Congratulations, you're now an official IRCer. :D

Re: Get on IRC [New XChat]
So is mIRC. And mIRC has super-awesome scripting capabilities. To do anything like that with XChat, you've got to install and learn Python, or whatever other languages they support.

It's a noob guide.. Noobs aren't going to be writing scripts. But I get your point.edsfunsite wrote:So is mIRC. And mIRC has super-awesome scripting capabilities.

Which requires finding and installing the proper parser for it, taking up more space on your hard drive.drusepth wrote:/exec -o echo XChat supports the following languages: *edsfunsite wrote:or whatever other languages they support. Lame.
I dunno, I just tried using it and getting it to do the same things that I can make mIRC do, and I couldn't get it. It's not as easy.

Re: Get on IRC [New XChat]
I already have perl pre-installed on any linux machine I use XChat on - which doesn't take up any space at all, so no worries about that. And when I'm on windows I just use batch scripts, which come with every installation of Windows.edsfunsite wrote:Which requires finding and installing the proper parser for it, taking up more space on your hard drive.drusepth wrote:/exec -o echo XChat supports the following languages: *edsfunsite wrote:or whatever other languages they support.

I'm not going to argue with you, however. My preference: I like it. I find mIRC annoying and hard to use, but that's probably because I never took the time needed to learn it inside out - like I did XChat. ;)
Also, wat.installing the proper parser for it

Looks like someone accidentally banned the entire webchat rather than a single user.ramiia wrote:who banned me?!
If we're breaking the rules, then how come you can't catch us? You can't find us? I know why. Cause, it's ... MAGIC!

Looks cool. I remember IRC back in the day for Counter Strike. I might have to hop on and check it out.

Re: HOW-TO: Join #hackerthreads on IRC !
I use HexChat (a fork of xchat ) because it's a more updated (secure) than xchat.
I'm surprised that people are still using xchat!
