This is my Guide for people to learn how to connect to IRC via Hexchat.

Step 1: Download HexChat  here https://hexchat.github.io/downloads.html

Click on HexChat 2.12.4 x86 or x64. (Doesn't matter which version)

HexChat will start downloading.

Step 2: Install HexChat

You should see this after you downloaded HexChat.

Click on it.

Mark the Box "I accept the agreement" and click on Next >

Aftter you clicked on "Next", it will ask you where you want to install HexChat. You can keep the default install path, or choose a diffrent folder.

Click on Next >

After that, it will ask you which components you want to be installed with it. I recommend not doing anything, since it's not  really necessary for HexChat

Click on Next > 

Now it will ask you if you want to have Portable Mode activated. You can skip that.

Click on Next >

Now you are ready with the setup, and you can click on Install to install HexChat.

The Installing setup will start. It takes about 5 seconds until it's finished.

On the Top, enter the Nick name you want to use, a Second and third choice in case your Usernames are used already.

After you have done that, you click on Add on the right side.

Double click on "New Network" and enter SFSE as name. (You can choose any diffrent name). Save the name with pressing ENTER.

Now click on SFSE, and then on the right side on "Edit..."

Now you see this:

Click on "newserver/6667", and enter this Server Adress: pool.irc.tl

Press ENTER to save the edit.

After you have done that, click on "Autojoin channels right next to the "Servers".

Click on "Add" and click on "#channel".

Now type in: #SFSE. Save it with pressing ENTER.

Close the Edit Window.

Now click on SFSE (or the name you took for the network) and click on Connect

If you have done everything correctly, you should be connected to the SFSE IRC Channel, and you can now start chatting!

Use * infront of every message so that people who are ingame can see your messages from IRC.
