General: Internet Relay Chat - Advanced
« Thread Started on Apr 9, 2007, 7:42pm »

OK. So you've read the paper about normal (and very basic) IRC. So, how to do more 'advanced' things? In IRC, you use commands. There are cheat sheets and lists of commands to use in IRC, on Wiki and everywhere, just Google "IRC Commands" and you'll get loads.

If you have no real interface or GUI, like mIRC, or you just don't like using that, then joining channels becomes easier than you would have thought. Just enter "/join #channel" into the text window, and hit ENTER. It'll join that channel. Easy, isn't it?

You may see "NickServ" appear throughout the course of your IRC life. NickServ is basically a very basic form of IRC authentication. ie, it saves YOUR username to you, noone else can use it. Most of the time, it's just a password that can be used to protect it. Other times, it's an IP and a cookie. To find out whether a server has NickServ type in "/msg NickServ" or just "/NiskServ" itself. If you get instructions or a demonstration of a string to enter coming back, then your server has NickServ.

Lastly (for this is all the time I have for this at the moment), "/action" is used mainly on RolePlay IRC servers. If I were to say "/action throws an apple" it would say in the server, in a different and more vibrant colour text, "Runtime throws an apple". It can come in useful.

More to follow.
