Title: #Deadmen
Post by: Aga on October 01, 2002, 10:07:27 AM
I've just installed an IRC client for the first time ever. Having never used one before, is there any chance for a dry run for meeting at #deadmen sometime this week, unless I'm the only noob of course. I'd rather not leave it until Sunday to find out that my single remaing brain cell can't work things out.

Thanks

You can test it anytime.

When you join #deadmen you'll see Q there keeping it tidy.  8)

Q wasn't all that talkative though. I guess it must be a continuum thing.

If you go to Tucows and have a shufti about you'll find at least a dozen IRCs. They recommend vIRC as a good free one.

Isnt NN just a script for mIRC?  And as such will basically do just the same as he's getting now.  If your after something easy to work, understand and use then look for microsoft comic chat.
Check this site http://www.go.com.jo/faq/mscc.htm (http://www.go.com.jo/faq/mscc.htm) and away you go, just make sure you when your on the "connect" page that you use one of the quakenet servers:-

1. Irc.jolt.co.uk
2. Irc.barrysworld.com
3. chat.uk.quakenet.org
4. demon.uk.quakenet.org
5. barrysworld.uk.quakenet.org
6. b0rk.uk.quakenet.org

There's plenty more out there.  Also on the connect page, untick the "show all available rooms list" and tick the "goto chat room" then type in their #deadmen.  As there's about 50,000 available rooms to join then it can take a while to find the one your looking for by going through the list.

Comic chat isnt as advanced as mIRC but for one time usage it'll do just fine.

I use this one myself - Takes a bit of setting up but once it's done it's brilliant.

Haven't used Gamespy at all since I got this script :)

However the only criticism I got with it is that the server browser occasionally falls over itself and gets stuck when refreshing all servers.

And NN uses Mirc as the engine so it's really a MOD :)
