Title: Chat!
Post by: Helth on September 23, 2004, 03:10:03 pm

Hey? Why is never anyone in the IRC?
I know, that you also can chat in PS, but isn\'t it a better chat in irc?

Which IRC channel are you going to?

There\'s a few choices...


Public developer channel: irc.freenode.com #planeshift
Unofficial fan channel: irc.quakenet.org #planeshift
Planeshift-guilds: irc.quakenet.org #planeshift-guilds


Those are the most popular, but there are plenty of others (usually guild specific).

What is your operating system and irc client? Maybe you are behind a router. There are a lot of irc tutorials out there to find with google, e.g. here (http://www.newircusers.com/) or at the mirc homepage (http://www.mirc.com). (can\'t help with mirc, using xchat under linux)

Hope that helps.

Get a client like mIRC or something & use theese links should work:
http://IRC://irc.freenode.com/planeshift
http://IRC://irc.quakenet.org/planeshift
http://IRC://irc.quakenet.org/planeshift-guilds

Yay I did it! Is there anything free though? Mirc charges 20 bucks :(

You don\'t have to pay even after the 30 days...

Use Linux by the way, you get free programs for every job  :) .

So how many times does your computer crash per day? :P (Macs all the way!)

As to finding an IRC client, head over to versiontracker.com and search for \"IRC\". I\'m sure you\'ll find one or two free clients.

I use HydraIRC, it\'s some what buggy sometimes, but it works really great!

It\'s a multi server/multi channel and supports the normal things and stuff like that.
And it\'s free

Then you have XChat, a small IRC client with normal features

Use google to find \'em

I also use hydraIRC, but it doesn\'t connect to one of the networks I use alot (connects fine to quakenet and freenode) and doesn\'t work under linux natively so I also use xchat.

mirc is the best for newbies to IRC i believe since it can accept irc:// links (hydra can too...) and its a lot simpler

You wouldn\'t know a good place to find scripts for this beauty?
