Probably simple but want to ask anyway. How would I trigger a
msg/command once I join a channel?
reddit / irc

So this is about an #IdleRPG channel on a server.
I just want to automatically send one msg to the channel bot when I
enter the channel.
/MSG IdleRPG LOGIN <User name> <password>
what are my options?

If using Mirc, one way you could do it is as follows:

Go to File > Options

then on left in category section:

go to options under connect.

Then click on perform tab on right

Add the network where you want to log into for the bot.

Then, in the commands box:

/j #channel name

/MSG IdleRPG LOGIN <User name> <password>

So that should make you auto join the channel when logging into the
server then auto send the login command straight after.

I think hexchat has something similar and it may also have an option
for channel based commands too, but I've not used hexchat in a long
time so I could be wrong about that.

Another question. When you are on the connect tab you see your nick
option etc
You see a server bar with a drop down menu where you can add a new
server that is not on the list etc. If you choose a well known server
with multiple server options, instead of the server address showing
up, it could have "Random server" etc.
When I enter a custom server port etc all goes well. The issue is when
I go to the Perform tab, the networks in THAT drop down menu do not
show ANY of my custom servers that don't come preloaded on MIRC. How
would I add it so it shows up on THAT list?

Again, on the connect tab and the server drop down list, all my custom
servers a long with my additional options i setup when I connect
(autojoin favorites, auto authenticate etc) show up fine.
