* How do I join a channel?
| Quote: |
All IRC channel names start with the pound sign (#). So, if the channel name is FooBar, you would type "/join #FooBar". Do not include the double quotes in the command.
|
* How do I change my IRC nickname?
| Quote: |
To change your IRC nickname (nick), type "/nick newnick", without the double quotes. For expample, if you wanted your nick to be "Slasher", you would type "/nick Slasher".
|
* How do I send a private message?
| Quote: |
To send a private message to just one person on the server, you would use the /msg command. For example, to send a private message to [TFK]Slasher to inform him that a scrimmage is about to start, you would type "/msg [TFK]Slasher Come to the #TFK room, our scrimmage is starting soon."

* How do I find a friend in IRC?
| Quote: |
There are two ways to do this. First, if you know what channel they are in, you could join that channel and see if their name is on the user list at the right hand side of the screen. Or, you could use the /whois command. The /whois command tells you a small amount of information about a user on the IRC server. If you wanted to get the /whois information about [TFK]Slasher, you would type "/whois [TFK]Slasher".

* How do I register my IRC nickname?
| Quote: |
To register your nickname, send a private message to 'nickserv' containing your password and email address. For example: '/msg nickserv register foobar address@domain.com' - type that (not including the single quotes) to register your current nickname with the password 'foobar' under the email address 'address@domain.com'. You should see a message in your status window from nickserv confirming your registration. You will receive an email address with instructions for authorizing your newly registered nick. Be sure to enter a valid email address so that you can receive the authorization code. After you register your nick, each time you connect to the IRC, you will need to identify yourself by typing: '/msg nickserv identify foobar' (without the single quotes.) Substitute your password instead of 'foobar', of course.

* How do I register my IRC channel?
| Quote: |
To register your channel, you must first register your nickname. Then once you have registered and identified with nickserv, you can register your channel by sending a private message to 'chanserv' containing the channel, the password you want for the channel, and the channel description. For example: '/msg chanserv register #my_room foobar This is my room' - type that (not including the single quotes) to register the room called #my_room with the password 'foobar', and the description 'This is my room'. You should see a message in your status window from chanserv confirming your registration.
|
* How do I change the topic in my room?
| Quote: |
If your channel is registered type the following:
/msg Chanserv SET #channelname TOPIC newtopic
If your channel is not registered type the following:
/topic #channelname newtopic
|
* How do get a user to be auto-opped when they join my channel?
| Quote: |
First of all, the channel must be registered with chanserv. Also, the nick for the person that you want to get auto-opped must be registered with nickserv. Once that is done, use the following command to add the person to the op list for the channel:
/msg chanserv access #channelname add nick 50
* How do I ban users from my channel?
Your best bet here is to use a program called mIRC to connect to the Dynamix IRC server. You can get mIRC from http://www.mirc.com. Install the software and use it to connect to the Dynamix IRC server at irc.dynamix.com, port 6667. You can then use the built-in menus in mIRC to kick and ban users from your channel.
|
* How do I talk in white letters?
| Quote: |
This is called an 'action'. To do an action, you use the /me command. For example, if your name is Slasher, and you wanted to do an action that says 'Slasher waves to everyone', you would type:
/me waves to everyone
|
* Where can I get a channel bot?
| Quote: |
There are hundreds of freely available IRC bots on the web. Most of them are add-on scripts for mIRC. Others are stand-alone programs. In order to have a bot in your channel at all the times, you need a permanent internet connection. The methods for installing and operating each bot are different. Consult the documentation for the bot you wish to use.
