THE HERO6 CHATROOM (instructions)

[Spliff]

You can of course connect to the new web based chat script that Te`ja created here:  http://teja.qfg3d.com/h6chat/

Or if you have problems connecting to that, try my java applet:

http://www.thereuniverse.com/hero6/cgi-bin/jirc/chat1.html

If you're not using internet explorer, or Netscape navigator (or another browser) to browse the web, all you have to do to get to the chat-room is load up your IRC client software (like MIRC) and go to the Server:

irc.enterthegame.com  and join channel #hero6

More detailed way to get on using MIRC:

1)GET/INSTALL MIRC
mirc is the program that i use to get on IRC it is free and easy to use, you can download it at http://www.mirc.com. It is easy to install, just click on the EXE, select were you want it to go and install.

2)SET-UP AND CONNECTING
When you start mIRC a screen comes up that says you have to pay after 30 days or something like that, don't worry though you don't have to pay anything just click the x button in that box. You will then see a box that says "mIRC options". In this box you set all your preferences but not much is necesary so i'll just tell you what you have to do. Look to the left of the box and you'll see a colum labeled "Catagory". Go to the "Connect" option and fill out your name, Email and nickame (they don't have to be real). Then go to "Identd" option under the Connect heading. Fill in any name you want for your "User Id". Next click on the "Connect" catagory itself and look to the right. Where it says "IRC Servers" there should be 2 white boxes with downward pointing arrows to the right of them, click on the lower box and scroll down untill you see "Random Enterthegame Server" click on this then click "connect to IRC server" . The last step is to then wait for a box that says "mIRC Channels folder" to come up, in the top white box of that type #hero6 then click join.

3) Chat -  You're in so chat with us!

Thanks for posting the Chat information, Spliff. I'll edit the links so that they'll point to the original chatroom some time today.

To the rest, please use the chatrooms and let Te'ja or Spliff know what you think of it and how they can be improved. Alternatively, post your comments here. Thank you.

It's not working for me. It says that it's clearing up internet trouble, then just stops there.

I click it, and a new window opens with a big grey box, but nothing happens.
 

[Swift]

Try waiting a while. If there's still nothing, try downloading the latest java applet.

[Jafar]

I've left it there for 15 minutes, it still hasn't loaded.

[Spliff]

There is really no reason Te`ja's chat script would prevent you from connecting, because it is basically a modified version of the one everywhere chat uses.  However you can also try my java applet to connect here:

That one works fine for me.

Why not Just replace the old script with the new one?
 

[Swift]

Which old script, may I ask?  

[AsianMusicGuy]

THe old Chatrom can just easaly repaced by the new one

[Swift]

I'm assuming you mean Spliff's chatroom as the 'old' chatroom. We're not going to replace it.

Ok
