Forums | TORN

I made a guide on mobile IRC access for my faction and decided i might as well share it here :). The android one is an old one made by Mark, but i havent seen anything for IOS and windows. There are other paid apps for IOS but im cheap :P. Pls ignore any reference to the faction i my have forgotten to omit, and mail me so i can change it. Hope you find it useful :)

ANDROID

So the first thing to do is to download androirc from the play store.

See bottom for how to register your nick with nickserv. Once registered, tap custom irc commands in the network setting and paste the /msg nickserv identify xxxxxxx from the email you have received( replce the word confirm with replace).

IOS
So first thing is to dowload IRCCloud from the app store and open it up.

Fill in the details shown above. Nickname is the name that you will use IRC under and you should preferably make it the same as your torn name.

You will be taken to this screen if successful. Type /join #channel to join the channels you want
Register your nick with nickserv so nobody else can steal your nick and you can add channels to autojoin which will make your life easier. Scroll to the bottom for instructions on how to do this.

Once you have registered, copy and paste the /msg nickserv identify xxxxxxx from the email you receive into the 'Commands to run on connect' box(replace the word confirm with identify).

WINDOWS

Getting on IRC with your windows phone is a fairly simple and straight forward process with WPirc.

The very first thing to do is go to the market place, search for "WPirc" and download the free app.

Once the app is installed you need to go into "settings", under the general tab you are able to change your Nick name and then save.
The next thing you will want to do is open the "connect..." settings.

Press the plus to add the torn server.
Server address should be set to "irc.torn.com"
Port will be "6667" just like the others
There is no password and Charset I leave at the default.
Now save
These steps will not have to be repeated torn is now added to your servers list.
You may now connect pressing the lightning.

You should be brought to the lobby. Use the /join #channel command to join all the channels you need to
See bottom for instructions for registering with nickserv
For this app i dont think there is an option for commands to run on connect so for using registered nick you will have to copy and paste the /msg nickserv conrim xxxxx line from the email everytime you go on(replace the word confirm with identify)

Registering with NickServ
1 Set the nick you want to use with "/nick nickname"
2 Register on nickserv by writing "/ns register password e-mail"

Keep in mind that this must be a different password than the one you use in Torn and the email must be valid since a code will be sent to your e-mail

3 Write "/msg NickServ confirm code " replacing code with the one that was sent to your e-mail
4 Done, now your nickname cant be used by others
