mIRC v6.35 Installation
The following steps will explain how to install the client mIRC.
Download: mIRC 6.35 download
NOTE: The screenshots were created with mIRC in version 6.35 under windows 7. In some cases it could be that some screenshots are not up to date, maybe due to a new mIRC version was released or you use a different windows version. But the content should be generally the same. We're trying our best but can't promise a 100% up to date guide.
Installation
After you downloaded mIRC you should see this file. Just open it and start:
In the first step you just click "Next".
Confirm the licence using "I agree".
Chose where mIRC should be installed using "Browse" and after that click "Next".
Disable the box "Server List" and then click "Next".
Just click "Next" ...
... and now click "Install".
In the last step you can tick "Run mIRC" to start the program immediately after the installation and click "Finish" then.
Thats the creator of mIRC. Here you see that mIRC is shareware and should be payed after 30 days. But don't worry after 30 days you have to wait 2-3 seconds after you can close the dialoge and continue using mirc. There is no need to pay money except you want to support him.
Configuration
At the first start you will see the "Options" window.
1. Here you do not have to enter your full real name. You can use your nickname.
2. Here is not your valid Emailaddress needed. This field is used as the ident after the connect on the server. Your nick in front of an @ is recommend.
3. Your nickname.
4. If another user already has your nickname (of step 3) you could chose another nickname here, which would be used automatical as alternative nickname in this case.
5. Now click on "Servers".
Now we will add the server of OnlineGamesNet. Click "Add".
Fill in following: Description: OnlineGamesNet
IRC Server: irc.onlinegamesnet.net
Group: OnlineGamesNet
Now click "OK"
Now we have added the server of OnlineGamesNet. Select the lower OnlineGamesNet entry and click "Ok" now.
After closing the options window click on the "Yellow Flash" in the upper left corner to connect with the OnlineGamesNet.
Now a lot of text will appear and a new pop up will appear.
Just disable "Pop up favorites on connect" and "Enable join on connect" and click "OK".
Now you are connected to the OnlineGamesNet server but you are not at a channel.
For this you have to use the /join command
If you want to enter e.g. the general channel of OGame.org just enter:
/join #ogame.org
Channelnames start always with a #.

You can find a list of some offical IRC-Channels on the OnlineGamesNet here.
Perform
Every time we connect to OnlineGamesNet, we could use a new nickname. But how does the ogame server know who I am and that and that I should become operator rights in my Alliance channel? Now this isn't as hart as it seems: You have registered with a Username and Password. With EVERY connection to the OnlineGamesNet server, we have to say to Authserv "Hello, it's me!" How do we do this? with another command of course: Command:
/AuthServ AUTH username password
Our example:
and press enter again.
After this we should recieve the message: "-AuthServ- I recognize you." If not, check your information, check that you have entered the username and password correctly. If all else fails, you can ask for help in the Support channel (#help).
For english users:
After the registration you can now change the language to english, just type the following:
/AuthServ set language C
Can this be simplified?
Yes, this can be simplified. There is a function in mIRC called "Perform". In the screenshot below, you can see how this works:
Good luck
