Uh, yep! I think you do /? or something for the search string, and a space for the replace? Lemme test this.

EDIT: Yes, that is how you do it, and then put REPLACE space with the hyphen. you should be good to go.
EDITX2: oh crap, that conflicts with the first quirk.... you may have to do the hyphen manually.

Could also do "A" = "A " all the way through to Z and back to a. But that would be...well...ridiculous!

[grimlive95]

It replaces the spaces after the letters with hyphens.

That last suggestion sounds pretty good, really.

[Karsius]

It replaces the spaces after the letters with hyphens.

Yeah I noticed that :\ Like I said, you may have to do the hyphens manually.

[Piconoe]

Put space to hyphen first
Then put add spaces
Can't test now, but i think it does them in order.

Added port 1413 to my list of forwarded ports via the modem and input and output ports via the firewall.

That worked, nice job.

You can only kick them.

It says you were banned and acts like you've been banned, but you can still reconnect.

It's mostly a role playing thing.

What SupaNeo said, how do you do that?

[grimlive95]

The quirk works. Thanks!

Alright, so since I'm probably the person still using 2.5, I might as well spill this out: my friend is using 3.14 and I can't see her emotes anymore. It's not saying offline all the time, it's just that there's no symbol there at all. Maybe a gap in the versions or something? It was working fine a while ago. :/

You have to be either the creator of the memo or have been promoted by the creator of the memo.

If all mods/ops leave the memo, then NO ONE is an op and no one can ban anybody.

Question: Why are you using 2.5? It's much less stable and has much less features than 3.14, and is no longer being updated.

Because I like certain things that the new version doesn't have. I like certain things on 2.5, despite the crashing, freezing, lag, etc.

Managed to get in with Pesterchum 3.14... many of the themes seem busted.
Many of the themes use white-on-white text for lists, such as 'memos' and 'chumhandles online'.
the default 'pesterchum' theme also has mood icons and mood names that do not match the ':MOOD >n' messages emitted.

It's good work, and a worthy project. I like what you've done to extend the underlying protocols -- IRC is really underappreciated, I still boggle to think why people saddled themselves with SGML/XML in "modern" messaging-and-presence applications.

[Piconoe]

Yeah, I grasp the concept of computers and programs and their various quirks quite well. That is why I AM SO FRUSTRATED THAT THIS ISN'T WORKING BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE!

That is a 2.5 issue -- if you use a mood number it doesn't recognize, it will just not put up any icon at all. 3.14 uses extended moods. TC handles this correctly by making any mood it doesn't recognize "chummy." Ironically, even though 2.5 extended the mood numbers, it failed to handle this situation.

Pfffffffffff ok thanks for telling me.

The white/white text seems to be a bug in themes -- it seems I didn't add the proper window flags to tell certain window managers "HEY KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF MY WINDOW THEME." So your WM is probably overriding our settings. I hope to fix this soon.

The default theme has different moods simply to match canon -- we didn't want to add those moods so we just had them represent different moods.

Pesterchum has always been IRC based -- I just made the client to protocol.

[WildyNasharra]

FREGGING-A I GIVE UP!! I'll join your cult and use 3.14 gog.

2.5 decided to play freeze tag 4evr so I ragequit'd

What are these things you like that aren't on 3.14?

[Volpicks]

God damnit this happens every time a new Pesterchum comes out, but I have Linux and I'm having trouble installing this thing.
I downloaded the source and extracted to my Documents folder. I've also installed PyQt4 and ran some of those commands so I'm pretty sure I have pygame now too. But I can't get the code

$ tar -zxf pesterchum3.14-src.tar.gz
$ cd pesterchum
$ ./pesterchum

To work in the Terminal. I understand almost nothing about programming, and after an hour of fiddling around I gave up and came here.

I guess the simplicity of it? That and it's easy to make new skins for the older versions :P

What version of python do you have on your computer? Is it 2.6 or 2.7? It seems to work on those two.

Try `python pesterchum.py` instead of running that shell script. It may be your system doesn't have a python2.6 shortcut.

Have you tried the 2.5 skins at all? They were meant for people that don't like change. Also, making new skins, while a bit of a steep learning curve, is actually pretty easy! Such is the price of enamel....

[genocidalmadman2]

My Norton 360 won't run this because it's a security risk, [SONAR has detected security risk pesterchum.exe] [SONAR has removed security risk pesterchum.exe] anyone know how I can fix this?

[SomeGuyNamedDavid]

Pesterchum 3.14 turned my experimental quirk (L0.0k5 like thi5, zer0e5 and five5, and c0ntinued 5trings get a decimal between the fir5t and 5ec0nd digit5, f0r example: l0.05e, 5.050, and PCH0.0000.) from

[Oo] => 0
[Ss] => 5
00 => 0.0
00 => 0.0
05 => 0.5
05 => 0.5
50 => 5.0
50 => 5.0
55 => 5.5
55 => 5.5 (They each had to be done twice or else the decimals would looke 0.00.00.0 instead of 0.0.0.0.0.0 and the next part wouldn't work right.)
\.0\.0\.0(\.0)+ => .000_
\.5\.5\.5(\.5)+ => .555_ (The underlines represented repeat marks for long strings of 0s or 5s, gibberish strings would still have issues.)
\.0\.0\.0 => .000
\.0\.0\.5 => .005
\.0\.5\.0 => .050
\.0\.5\.5 => .055
\.5\.0\.0 => .500
\.5\.0\.5 => .505
\.5\.5\.0 => .550
\.5\.5\.5 => .555
\.0\.0 => .00
\.0\.5 => .05
\.5\.0 => .50
\.5\.5 => .55

to

[Oo] => 0
[Ss] => 5
(0|5)((0|5)+) => \1.\2 (And no more need for repeat commands, unhindered gibberish strings!)

Good chat. Best Pesterchum.

Are you sure you're in the right directory? If it can't find "pesterchum.py" that means the program isn't there.

Have you tried sudo emerge?
