Join the chat through your browser here
Or if you prefer, or if you'd like to be able to keep the channel open while racing (without your browser taking ressources), please follow the instructions below:
For those who ain't familiar with it, IRC is a chat platform, in which you can hang out and talk with others. It's helpful for a couple of reasons. You can join it using a small application that takes very few computer ressources to run. So it's no problem to leave it open if you choose to during a race.
It is neat because you can walk away from the PC for a while, come back and catch up on everything people were chatting about because it's all on the screen.
It's also free, you dont have to pay, it's a lot winzip in the sense it may ask you to register when it first starts, but it's not needed. So it's free!
1 : Download and install an IRC client
2 : Check the Options
-In the "connect" tab, you can enter your name or nick.
-In the "servers" tab, make sure you have selected "Quakenet" as Network and "Quakenet: random server" as server option.
After that you will get to this screen...
3 : Joining the Orion channel
-Simply type in "orionracing" just like you see there, and you're in. That's it.
Your settings should be saved for the next time you launch the application. Then you will only have to type in "orionracing" to join again.
See you there !
