[TUTORIAL] How to use IRC from your ANDROID smartphone :)


Recommended Posts

So a lot of people kept asking me how I use IRC from my phone and I decided to make this tutorial for anyone who is interested :)

 

1st : Download HoloIRC from the Google Play Store (it's free).

2nd : Open up HoloIRC and tap the + icon in the top right corner.

3rd : Now a new window will pop up. Do everything as follows -->

CONNECTION

*Server Title --> MrGreenGaming

*Server URL --> maple.nl.eu.gtanet.com

*Server Port --> 6667

SSL

*Use SSL --> unticked

*Accept all SSL certificates --> unticked

USER

*Nick Names --> Type Your nickname :D

*Real Name --> Type Your real name XD

*Auto-change nick name --> ticked

CHANNELS

*Auto-join channels --> tap the + and add these : #mrgreen ; #mrgreen.mix and #mrgreen.race

SERVER CREDENTIALS

*Username --> holoirc

*Password --> Blank

SASL CREDENTIALS - IF SUPPORTED

*SASL Username --> Blank

*SASL Password --> Blank

NICKSERV CREDENTIALS - ID SUPPORTED

4th : Go to the main window of the app and hit the settings button again in top right (next to + button).

Now I'm giving you my settings here so feel free to tweak them to your liking. Here are MY settings -->

*LEL

5th : Enjoy IRC on your phone X)

 

TIP : Don't use your exact nickname from the game if you want to be on IRC non-stop (like me). 'Cause whenever someone calls you while you are playing, you will get a notification on your phone, which is super annoying xD. Take me as an example, I'm Megaz on IRC, not Megas :)

 

Only disadvantage is that HoloIRC can't start with your phone so you have to launch the app on every boot, manually!

This is useful information since "irc.gtanet.com" doesn't works for me to connect.

But too much unnecessary information and this colours.. Just my thoughts.

Nice one! but rarely when a player uses IRC xD 

Nah, was rare. Now I know a lot of players who go on IRC :)

 

Gonna stick with MIRC on pc :)

Sure, this is for ANDROID smartphones :P (if you're not home, smth :D)

 I wanted to make it as noob-friendly as possible, colors are there just to seperate the app settings.

Happy it's useful to some of you ^_^
