Trillian IRC Tut

So you want to join .Map in our IRC channel but don?t have any idea on how to setup your chat program Trillian. It?s very simple to do and before you know it you will be in the channel. These directions are for Trillian Pro so the directions may vary slightly from the free Trillian version.

First thing you need to do after you have opened Trillian is to left click on the IRC button, which is between ICQ and MSN.


Now click on the ?Connection Manager? and add an IRC connection. Once you do that you will see a new window open.

Scroll down to the ?QuakeNet? server and pick ?Random server? and make sure that ?irc.quakenet.eu.org? is in the ?Servername? box. Now in the ?Nickname? and ?Username? boxes add in the name you want to appear as in the channel. Once that?s don?t click the ?Create and Connect? button that is at the bottom of that window and then ?Close? in the Connection Manager. Now you will see that the IRC button is active and you?re connected to ?irc.quakenet.eu.org?.

Now right click on the IRC button and a new menu will popup.

Click on the ?join channel? option and then you will see this popup.

Type in ?#.map? and then click ok.

Now you?re in the channel and ready to chat and ask any question you need answered. This is just another way .Map it trying to help out the Mohaa community.

Intresting that trillian apears to allow you to use text attributes in the text input window, but doesn't use them or strip them in the topic banner under the title bar.

Oh, good tutorial BTW. 8)

where do i get that chat thingy?

Trillian http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/trillian/index.html
Visual IRC http://www.visualirc.net/
mIRC http://www.mirc.com/

do i need all 3 of those??? and what version of mIRC do i need?

You only need one of those programs. The above tut is only for Trillian. We prob need to make ones for the others also.

Any version of the above programs will work

Lol I finally get it figured out, and get in, no one is there ;>

Sometimes I'm there. But InnKeeper is most of the time there.

you can also add a java link on the web site for ppl to have easy access to the irc - check out our page for an example
