How to get authed?


Quakenet has a bot called 'Q' wich handles all auth's made on Quakenet.
To get authed you'll need to create a login with Q.
Each time you connect to Quakenet, you'll have to AUTH.


Creating a account:

To create a account type:

/msg Q HELLO <email> <email>

and replace <email> with a VALID e-mail addy you have.

You'll recieve a mail from Q soon (could be delayed when Q has trouble).
After you got the e-mail you'll see instructions how to get your username + password.


Authing:

WARNING: NEVER COPY PASTE YOUR AUTH IN A CHANNEL, DO IT IN STATUS WINDOWS!!

After you got your username and password, you can auth with:

/msg Q@CServe.quakenet.org AUTH <username> <password>



and replace <username> with your username, and <password> with your password.


Changing password:

Now it's recommend you change your password to something you can remember.
To change your password type:

/msg Q@CServe.quakenet.org NEWPASS <old> <new> <new>

Now replace <old> with your current password, and <new> with the new password you would like to have.


Hiding your IP:

After you are authed you also can choose to 'hide' your hostmask (so people can't see your IP).
To do this type:

/mode <your> +x

Replace <your> with your current nick you are using on IRC.. for example Kennie.


Automatic authing:

Each time you (re)connect to Quakenet, you'll have to auth again.
In most clients you can let the client do this automatic, here is a sample for mIRC.

- Open up options by pressing ALT + O.
- Click on connect, so the 'tree' opens and more options are avaible.
- Go to 'Options'.
- Press now the button 'Perform...'
- Tick now, 'Enable perform on connect'
- Select Quakenet as network if it's select yet (click Add near Network)
- Add in the textbox 'Perform commands:' the following content:
/msg Q@CServe.quakenet.org AUTH <username> <password>

Replace <username> and <password> again with your username and password from your Q account.

You can also let it automatic hide your hostmask.. add this line after the AUTH line in perform:

//mode $me +x

Now you should get authed each time you connect .


Good luck and have fun on IRC
