In this tutorial I will show you how to join servers and use a perform script that will Identify you and allow you to join channels on the server using mIRC.
Step One:Download mIRC Here, Install and Open
Step Two:: Fill in your details in the box that pops up like so...
Step Three:Click on "Servers" then you will see a list of servers, ignore them and click "Add" A box will then follow, In there you will have to add the information..
In Description, add something distinguishable, for example Synthmaker IRC In IRC Server, put irc.mixxnet.net Leave the port how it is at 6667 In group, name it something that will make it easily recognisable for example SM
You should have a form looking like this...
Now Click "Add"
Synthmaker IRC (or your similar Description) will now be displayed in the servers list
Click ok to close the options window
Step Four:Now, to enable automatic connection to SM IRC each time you open mIRC, in mIRC, press Alt+R to open Remote and type...
on *:START:{ server irc.mixxnet.net }
Here Is A Screenshot to check it is done correctly...
Click OK, close mIRC and reopen mIRC, it should then automatically connect to SM's IRC Server
Now you are connected, the first thing you should now do is register your mIRC identity/nickname
This is done by typing.. /msg nickserv REGISTER yourpassword youremail your password can be any thing you wish ! heres a screenshot....
Remember your password you typed in, you will need it shortly
Step Five:Now, To get to the auto channel join perform function... Go to Tools, Options, Connect, Options, Perform..., Add The name you are looking for is whatever you put as the "Group" when adding the server earlier on, In this case it is "SM"
Click it then click ok
You are back in the perform box, FIRSTLY tick the box "Enable Perform on Connect"
Now, Remember registering your mIRC identification earlier? Well in the perform box we will enter a command that tells mIRC to automatically "log you in"
This is done by putting in the perform box... /timer 1 1 /msg nickserv identify passwordhere
passwordhere is replaced by the password you used to register your nick earlier
The command /timer 1 1 is a special function for the perform box so that it identifies you before adding you to any channels, this means that you will receive any channel rights upon joining the channel (if you have any, for example Voice (+) or Half Op (%)).
Ok good, now you are automatically joining SM's IRC server and being logged in, now we just want to join some channels I hear you cry... well that process is also simple enough.. staying in the perform box, underneath your identification command type...
/timer 1 3 /j #synthmaker
click ok
this will automatically join you to SM's main chat channel everytime you open mIRC check my screenshot (below) and this will log me in and join the channel "#synthmaker" whenever I connect to SM's IRC Server.
so now all being well then you should auto join to the syntmaker host server and auto join the synthmaker channel - #synthmaker each time you start mirc.
you should then be faced with a window like this......
thats it! Welcome to Synthmakers very own irc chat channel 🙂
the syntax can vary a little from server to server but this should all go ok for most irc servers
but any problems/further help needed just ask 🙂
i will follow this tutorial up with another based around the chatzilla client. regards ark

How about using this thread here to announce discussion topics (e.g. invite Jorge and Malc and talk about SM 2 development status?).

I noticed the IRC channel is still alive, but there weren't many people around. Is anybody still actively using the IRC channel?
infuzion ·
I never never use any chat, no IM, IRC, or even Twitter. The only exceptions are GMail chat once every 6 months & texting on my cell phone once a month. Email & forums are superior IMHO.

lol i went in there today! someone put the poor chan bots out their misery pls!
mwvdlee! there are not enough user here using the forum never mind an irc chan so it was obsolete before it ever got of the ground! although it was a nice idea there's simply no call for one!
I moderate a couple of IRC Chans and although old tech they are handy for the odd intensive discussion and some private user 2 user file sharing (DCC).
Would be nice to see enough people around here to warrant such a thing though!!
Best Regards

Well I would love to see this, however, Jay has a point, but what would work rather nicely I think is a chat engine like they have at www.gearslutz.com...That would probably work better here as you have already decided to see whats up on the forum, so, a click to a chat room from the top of the page would be easier...There is so many times I have been here and seen certain people online that I'd like to talk to...

Something that works well for many communities is Teamspeak http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=teamspeak3 or similar.
A user ( you or me) can see on a webpage who is on the server chatting and there can be different rooms for different purposes. It is also with voice so people can talk in groups. They can also send files, play music, send PMs and what not. Would be great for collaborations or teaching.
I have used it mainly for gaming and website developing with others. Kind of weird in the beginning but once customed to it it all feels good. Give it 10 minutes and your used to it. Sometimes I can have that on all day with others doing the same. Everyone one their own computer in their own country behaving like we are in the same living room. Pretty amazing. In Teamspeak a user can place those whe talks to in different "places" in his headphones creating a simulated room of sorts. You can have one guy slightly behind you to the left and another infront but far away and so on. Ones set up the settings are saved until changed.
Maybe this is all to complicated and maybe to personal up close but for some things here it could be very usefull. I guess one has to experience it to understand it.
Teamspeak is a service that, in this case SM would rent. SM rents and manages the server. Once it is setup it wont require any real work at all. Admins can be appointed to take care of what ever small issues might arise. Users downloads the free client and logs in using a password. Maybe the same password they use for the forums. Rooms can be set to different "security levels". This way different kind of users gets access to different kind of rooms. For example: Guest only have access to the "public" rooms and SM owners have access to much more. Admins can have their own rooms and FL users too. It can really be set up almost any way you like. Very flexible.
