The -=UP* irc channel for chat!

Greetings everyone

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a way of communication as a group or even one-to-one. I have put together this very basic guide on how to set this up for yourselves.

Benefits:

- group communication
- set up matches/wars
- general discussions
- one to one chats

It is extremely easy to use and -=UP* would be grateful if members of our community could idle in our IRC channel.

Anyway, here are the steps:

1) Download and Install the IRC client (mIRC) from: http://www.mirc.co.uk/get.html

2) Once installed, go to the mIRC options, which may already be on the screen once you start mIRC.

3) Under the 'connect' tab, select 'servers'.

4) On the right side list, find and double click on 'QuakeNet' and then double click on 'Random Server'.

5) This should take you back to the first part of the options 'Connect'. Here you can enter your UT player name as the 'nickname'.

6) Then click on 'Connect'.

7) Once connect, the Favourites window will pop up. It should say 'enter a channel name'. Here type in "up.community" without the quotation marks, and voila! Welcome!

If you guys can idle pretty much all the time then that would be great, but try idle whenever you play UT so we know who is available for matches to be arranged or even a general chit chat.

Peace...
Yours lovingly, yoyo

Hey yoyo ! i'll be connected on it the most possible !

thanks for doing a nice tut for people

Anything for you, darling  

Also, you can connect with browser without mIRC  

1) Go to this site: webchat.quakenet.org
2) Choose your nick name
3) In channels type up.community

And of course you can use UT99 to connect to IRC

1) launch UT99, open UT server browser, then go to chat tab
2) In IRC server type "irc.quakenet.org"
3) In default channel type "#up.community" to enter more channels go to system tab and use /join #channel just like in browser
4) press connect

Thanks for the info skaaj....lets hope to see more UP players on the irc channel!!!
