IRC Client HexChat: The Tutorial: (Windows Vista/7/8/10 only)
THIS TUTORIAL WAS CREATED ON THE OLD CiA FORUM IN 2013, SO APOLOGIES IF IT ISN'T BANG UP TO DATE
Based off HexChat 2.9.6.1 ( x86 / x64 ) for Windows Vista/7/8/10. Firstly, you can use Mibbit to enter our chat rooms if you're going to be a light user, which can be found by clicking the IRC widget in the header, so you'll not need to register your nick or identify yourself each time you join. However, if you're going to become a large part of #abime.net then I strongly suggest you use an irc client. For simplicity, and ease for me, we will use the irc client Hexchat, download it from here http://hexchat.org/downloads.html (version 2.9.4 XP or 2.9.5 Vista/7/8 There are varied differences between the XP version and the one this tutorial is based off) and run the installer. Click next a few times and Immediately after the 'Select Destination Location' (which is your choice), you'll get the 'Select Components' window, uncheck 'Plugins/Update Checker' (optional) and leave everything else alone, and on the next page check yes for the portable install and continue the install. Afterwards you'll get a window with 'Run HexChat after closing the Wizard' & 'Download Visual C + + Redistributable' checked, If you already have 'Visual C + +' installed, uncheck it and click finish, otherwise just cick finish and follow the instructions for downloading and installing 'Visual C + +'. If for any reason there's problems with the download link above, please contact me via PM, and I'll supply you with the same version that was available from the date of this post. PART 1 On first run you'll be presented with the window shown below
PART 2
IMPORTANT *Steps 7 & 8 must be completed after you have joined '#awesome' and registered your nick with nickserv, so leave the 'Login method:' at 'Default' and the 'Password:' blank for now (see Registration And Other Useful Commands below)
From this point onwards, your irc client will automatically open into #abime.net every time you start it. Don't worry about the 'Connect commands' Tab, this is really for more advanced users, so they can run special commands etc on start up. And that's basically it. REGISTRATION AND OTHER USEFUL COMMANDS To registered your nick on the irc server please type the following code into Hexchats message box when it's up and running on #awesome:-
Next time you run HexChat, you will be given voice automatically, so long as an operator has added you to the VOP list.
HexChat is a very configurable irc client, you can change many aspects of the whole style, but that's something for you to learn yourself, I won't be adding a tutorial on how to do any of that. This is the default configuration that you'll be presented with the first time you run it And this is my irc client below. HexChat is extremely configurable, so it's up to you how you would like the HexChat GUI to look like. The buttons below the user list on the left hand side, have been blanked out for obvious reasons, as these have been modified/added for my own personal use as I am the founder/owner of some channels, but you can create or edit your own buttons for your own personal use. There are a set of special HexChat switches/variables to modify/customize the HexChat client HERE, along with a small list of general and basic commands used on the irc networks too. I hope this tutorial is easy to follow, and I hope this will encourage new users to experience not only a well defined irc client, but how to correctly use irc, and most of all, to enjoy yourself along with some of the expertise and experience of some of our knowledgeable members within #awesome.
