IRC [First Connect Help]

[[YG]Simon]

Most people wants to join IRC To chat/talk etc so i decided to make a tuto about it,

If u are person who never used IRC and u dont know how to start hope that i will help u in this tutorial

1. How to connect ?

You can use various clients for it like mIRC KvIRC X-chat IceChat etc

Download's:-
www.kvirc.net |KvIRC Client
 
www.icechat.net |IceChat IRC Client

www.mIRC.net |mIRC Client

www.xchat.org |X-Chat Client


2. I connected to IRC what now ?

First what we need to do is register our IRC nickname. We can do it with typing following command :

 /ns register <password> <email>

We should get information that our Nick is registered (If nick wich u use is already taken we need to find other nickname for us).


[06:08:04] NickServ [services@irc.tl]: Nickname ***** registered under your account: ****-i38@*.F5**64.B439***.IP
[06:08:04] *HostServ* vhost for **** set to *****.users.
[06:08:04] *HostServ* Your vhost of *****.users is now activated.

Some thing like the above one.

3. I connected back to  irc , now what ?

just do /identify <password>

If we are logged our channel ranks (if we was @ or % on some channel) will be auto back (if you are a admin there.)


If i am a registered user i got some extra Privilage's on IRC ?

If ur nickname is registered u can use commands like:

 /ns ajoin add #<channel> | Make's you join the channel automatically when you log in.

 You can add a max of 15 channel's in auto join list

/ns ajoin del #channelname | To delete a channel from autojoin list.

4.OMG I cannot connect with my nick name !!!
 
Dont behave like a troll in these kinnda situation's

Some times we can get a "Ping Time Out" , "Crash" disconnect and our nick can be still connected to IRC. Or someone joined to irc with our nickname and he dont wanna change it / leave irc. In all situations it will help us command :

/ns ghost <our irc account nick> <password>


If we will use this command our account :
* If we had crashed/got ping timeout - our real nick will quit with reasson : <nick> used GHOST command
* If someone stole our nick - same as up

Now we can use /nick command to set our nick to normal and login in

Other Common commands :
/join #channelname - to join some channel
/list - to get list of all channels which are on IRC server
/leave #channel - for leave channel
/quit <message> - to quit from IRC (we can add quit reason)
/whois <nick> - we can get some informations about user (if he is on IRC)
/whowas <nick> - we can get some informations about user (if he quit)
/ns info <nick> - to check if nick is regged/registered on IRC
/nick <newnick> - to set our IRC nick name

That was it Hope ya Like it.
