IRC Tutorial:

There are many different clients that you can use but for this tutorial I will use mIRC as it is a very basic client.

Step 1: download mIRC http://www.mirc.com/get.html

Step 2: Now that you've downloaded mIRC run the executable and follow the installation steps, after installing start up mIRC and I will take you show you how to set it up.

The first thing you will see when you start up mIRC mIRC Options page, as shown.



Fill in the full name, using anything you want. You can use your real name, your forum name or whatever.

Below that is your email address, I strongly suggest that you do not enter your email address in here. You need to enter something and it needs to be in the format of an email address, what you use I'll leave up to you.

Step 3: Once you've done that go to "Servers" just to the left and find "gamesurge, random server" as shown.



Step 4: When you've done that press "Ok" and connect by clicking on the lightening symbol which is located underneath the "file" menu.
Once your connected click the heart symbol and type in #cybergamer and #ausaa.

Step 5: Registering to "gamesurge" http://www.gamesurge.net/createaccount/ is pretty straight forward and once you've done that enter the following command into the chat box and hit enter: /as login username password or /AuthServ auth account password.

Step 6: Go to options > perform and click on add, then scroll the drop down menu until you find "gamesurge", enter the command you entered in step 5, click on "enable on connect" and then hit "Ok.

This will automatically perform the auth command every time you connect to the server.





Step 7 (Optional): You can also add the command //mode $me +x in the perform section, this will hide your IP address from other users on IRC and if you choose to do this I recommend setting it for "All Networks".

Good Luck.

Nice work, haven't used irc for months :S

Whole cod community needs to start using to find scrims. Xfire is so inefficient to do that, and injizke has posted a great tutorial for users just starting.

looks intense yo

Shame its posted in AA section.

Nice tut jovan.

It should be edited, to actually auth on gamesurge it is different to other networks

The command is

/authserv auth yourlogin yourpass

Check out the new users guide for GameSurge for more details

ps. mirc has always reminded me of my old dos computer ahahahah. < 3

would be nice if irc picked up again its major dead atm unless you play CS

Just need the chicks to idle there and it'll pull a big crowd
Works on our vent anyway...

I bet it does aye trep. Hurky was begging me to come in today. He couldn't say yes or no to a scrim within 5 seconds. It was disappointing. Think he had to wait for you to come online :\\\\

AA leaders rule their clans tox no scrim unless given permission.

AA players try n get mirc sorted out, all u have to do once installed is open it and idle in the ausaa channel. Makes finding scrims easier.
