What is IRC

[Bad-Co]

IRC = Internet relay chat.
A general term for chat programs.

Gameplay offers three ways of talking with other players.



Wireplay 3 (ftp://ftp.gameplay.com/pub/downloads/wireplay/WP3Setup_r2.exe) ..has its own built in IRC client. Each game/area has its own room. where you can meet up and talk before /after playing.


Java IRC (http://www.gameplay.com/wireplay/#) A simple link to quakenet where wireplay has several hundred community room for all games and chat. Help files for this are available here (http://www.gameplay.com/wireplay/newbie/irc01)


mIRC (www.mirc.com) or vIRC (http://www.megalith.co.uk/virc/) Can be set to connect to any IRC server. These are the programs people script in. Many scripts which will appear here will refer to these two clients.

mIRC set up for gameplay is available here (http://www.gameplay.com/wireplay/newbie/irc02)

Not really, but useful in the linux console, so perhaps those of you who are reading this from a non windows platform could use www.bitchx.org for IRC.
