    Ok, so here is a quick guide on how to join the Starcraft channel on mIRC.

    Download mIRC from here.
    http://www.mirc.com/get.html

    Install mIRC

    Open mIRC

    you will now see this screen pop up inside mIRC

    attachment.php?attachmentid=122218&stc=1&d=1280587619

    Fill in the required details such as username, etc.

    Then click on the server tab

    attachment.php?attachmentid=122105&stc=1&d=1280496098

    Scroll down the list until you find Quakenet. Double click it, and select random server. Click OK.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=122106&stc=1&d=1280496098

    Click the connect button.

    This screen will then pop up.

    Just click OK.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=122107&stc=1&d=1280496098

    Now type in the following command

    /j starcraft.ie and press enter.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=122108&stc=1&d=1280496098

    Thats it! you should now be connected!

    Hope this helps some of you who have never used mIRC find our channel!

    Just to remind everyone, get on IRC if you fancy some games, we've already had boards.ie 3v3's and they were great games

    server is irc.quakenet.org

    #starcraft.ie

    How do I get set up on IRC? Never used it before. On a mac.

    EDIT: Saw the above. You must have been updating the post while I was writing this. Thanks!

    You have to pay for this crap after 30 days? Mega-lame-ology. Surely there is a free alternative we can use?

    if you choose not to pay, then you can just wait a few seconds and it connects anyway.

    Or use a free IRC client like ChatZilla, Mibbit or Smuxi ;)

    I downloaded mIRC.

    I installed it.

    I opened it.

    I filled in username/alternate.

    I found and double clicked Quakenet and then random sever.

    When I hit connect I wasn't sure what screen was supposed to pop up. So I typed in /j starcraft.ie anyway. Joined something that has just me I think. A window with my name on the right?

    Am I in?

    if it only has your name on the right, then sadly your not in the right place!

    at the moment, there are 18 people in there, and there are always a few on at all times of the day.

    you have to type /j #starcraft.ie

    the # goes before the name of any channel you want to join

    just wanted to post this for myself so I can easily find it rather than searching through old tourney threads

    I'm being told I need authentication to log into the IRC chat. What's up with that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 RoyalMarine
    ✭✭✭


    not quite sure... someone (not me) was messing around with everything and i think it was set to private/invite only...

    should be fixed now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 IRL_Sinister

    It's not.

    #starcraft.ie Cannot join channel (+r): this channel requires authentication -- For details of how to obtain an account visit http://www.quakenet.org/getauthed

    (I've only tried from Webchat mind you and not an official IRC client)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,798 Funky

    Fixed now I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 Icarus152

    Is there a built in chat feature with the game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 IRL_Sinister
    ✭✭✭


    Yes. Starcraft.ie is the channel.

    EDIT: You access it by clicking the little icon beside your friends list.
