[GUIDE] How to Connect to the GFF IRC Server. (#gfchat)

Alternately, here's a similar tutorial for the Mac OS X client X-Chat Aqua which you can download here.

X-Chat Aqua IRC Setup Tutorial.


Once X-Chat is installed, you can go to File>Server List... (or ⌘+S) to bring up the server setup window.


The Xelium (GFF's IRC Server) network is not already included in the preset servers so you'll have to add it yourself. Fill in the User Information as desired. Note: X-Chat allows you to choose more than one nick in case the one your first choice is taken, which is pretty unlikely. Ideally you only need to fill in the first field at which point you can click on the "+" symbol near the bottom of the window to add a network and click "Edit". The checkboxes next to each network indicate "Favorites" (Left column) and "Auto Connect" (Right colum). NOTE: Any networks with Auto Connect checked will be automatically connected when the program starts up.


Click the "Add" button and type in a server address using one of the servers as Tails listed in the previous post:

Remember to use port #6667 for any server you choose on this network in the port column.


If you wish to use different user info for this particular network you can uncheck the "Use global user info" and fill in the info as needed. Again, only the "Nick Name" field is required; the rest are optional.

If you click the expansion button next to the "Join Channels" it will expand the field down like so:


You can type in as many channels as you wish to join upon connection. Input channel names separated by commas.


If you have registered your nickname as also noted by Tails in the post above you can input the nickserv password into the highlighted field so that the nickserv bot automatically authenticates your nick upon network entry. Once the password is entered by the nickserv bot, you will automatically join any IRC channels that you listed in the "Join Channels" field in the window above.

Congratulations, you simpleton Mac junkie. You are now connected to the Xelium network. You may now proceed to talk copious amounts of shit with Skills or poke holes in Potion's logic to your heart's desire.
