So you want to chat with some shroomerites live, eh? Well then read this!


1. Download mIRC by clicking here.
2. Install mIRC.
3. Open mIRC.
4. When you open mIRC a little window should pop up that looks like this:



5. Type what nick name you want.
6. Click on "Servers" in the left menu.
7. Some new options should show up now, click on "Add".
8. In the "Description" field put in "Shroomery", in the "IRC Server" field put in "irc.shroomery.com", the "password" field is for your regitration password that we will talk about later (you do not need to input the password yet) and the port should be set to 6667. You should end up with this:



9. Now after you click "Add" select the shroomery from the drop down menu and click on "Connect to Server".
10. After you have connected, type "/join #shroomery".

Congrats! You can now chat with other Shroomerites!

Now lets get you registered. Type "/msg NickServ REGISTER password email" where is says "password" put the password you want your nickname to have there, and same with the email. Why do this? So some jerk doesn't come on and pretend to be you.

Okay so you are registered but you don't want to type in your password every time you login, right? This is easy to fix.

1. Go to "tools" then "options" then on the left menu in the window click on "options" under the "Connect" menu. It should look like this:



2. Click on "Perform". Here you can enter commands that your mIRC client will automatically perform when you connect to the server.
3. Type "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY PASSWORD", and in place of "PASSWORD" type in the password you have registered with. This will enable you to have a secure name in the chat system and you will never have to worry about it again.



Commands

In order to chat you must know how to connect to "channels" (chat rooms on the shroomery server) this is very simple. If you wish to chat in #shroomery, simply type "/join #shroomery" as "/j" means to join.

For a full list of channels type, "/list".

If you wish to change your nick at any time type, "/nick NAME", replace name with what nick name you wish to have.


I hope this will help some of you.

If you have any questions please ask!
