OK, the contents of this post died when forum was lagging... i'm too lazy to restore
this is a chat plugin for libpurple-based messengers
pidgin, finch, adium , telepathy, minbif, etc

Install instructions:

Windows:
1) install pidgin from pidgin.im
2) download win32 zip and unpack it into pidgin's installation directory
In case there is no HoN protocol you may need to download openssl.zip and unpack it int pidgin's directory
Mac OSX:
1) have adium 1.4b18 or newer
1.1) download honpurple–adium zip from homepage
2) double click zip
3) double click plugin
I can't make a build of adium version due to not having a mac and there is none uptodate.
Gentoo linux :

if plugin says 'you have been disconnected .. bla bla bla' right from start that probably means that the protocol version is incorrect... find it in account settings -> advanced

Current protocol version is: 43

(the whole reason for that setting is not to have to rebuild plugin each time the only thing needed is protocol version)

[Xzarr]

Hah I knew it wouldn't be long before something like this showed up, won't be using it myself but I know several who will :)

[Blam]

Windows version works fine (as far as I can tell), nice job :>

[Talikkovaari]

To run this under Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10 LTS), you'll need more recent version than in standard repositories. To get 2.6.x installed from launchpad repos follow the guide:

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-pidgin-2-6-0-in-ubuntu.html

(Thanks to Theli for link)


Other than that, working fine and gj on it.

[Vadi]

thanks a ton, works great

[ugkbunb]

nice i am going to have to make a PKGBUILD for this thanks!

[cr4zyd]

this...is...AWESOME thank you!

[DrRisan]

Nice, thanks!

[MaxGhost]

Will a trillian version come eventually?

8.10 is NOT LTS....the latest LTS is 8.04 and the upcoming 10.04...

[Vadi]

When someone does it, sure.

[MaxGhost]

When someone does it, sure.
I was asking theli...

[theli]

I was asking theli...
no, i'm not going to work on it ... trillian is closed source, i need to pay for Pro version (only Pro supports plugins), trillian does not support Linux, i'm pretty busy already

[MaxGhost]

I meant for astra, which plugins are open source on it. Also, no need to pay for that.

[Suckit]

Using Ubuntu 9.04 and this works fine on it as far as I tested it. Thanks a lot. Nice Work.

[theli]

btw, i need some opinions on which features to implement first.. so if someone has any ..

[DrRisan]

/c m
/stats USERNAME HERE

[theli]

/c m

/clan or /c commands:

m or message - send clan message
invite - invite person to clan (can only be used by clan's officers and founder)


/stats USERNAME HERE

i'm thinking of just showing stats in user info window

[Chavo]

Great work, I was working on something very similar to this myself.

[Yurixy]

this is nice

[Eccentrikit]

Very nice, Need game time xD

[Verith]

This is awesome and is working great for me (under windows). I was just wondering, how is it that your pidgin looks so amazingly awesome? I love the tabs being on the left especially, very cool.


Edit: Also I just noticed that /c m message doesn't work for me. it says "Unknown clan command". Also did it automatically add my HoN buddies into the pidgin list? It seems like it did, which is awesome. Thanks for such a great plugin.

[Oid]

Was wondering when something like this was going to hit. Nice work.

while those screenshots are not mine ...
you can set tabs to be onthe top/down/left/right in the first tab of preferences window

[theli]

Edit: Also I just noticed that /c m message doesn't work for me. it says "Unknown clan command".
are you on windows? can you try
/c w
?
i think that windows build accidentally got w instead of m ....
i'll release a fix for that and for rooms list today

[theli]

Very nice, Need game time xD
game time is not reported in status-change messages from server, i can only implement this the same way as in hon -
/who
to request that information

[OoGa`ChaKa]

Now for a plugin versio for trillian astra :D

(i prefer astra over pidgin miranda digsby etc etc)

[Verith]

are you on windows? can you try
/c w
?
i think that windows build accidentally got w instead of m ....
i'll release a fix for that and for rooms list today

That works, thanks. I dunno how I never saw the tab placement option either, thanks again!

Screenshots are mine and it's not Windows, it's a Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) (or Gnome) theme called Dust. Comes installed default with Ubuntu.

[Ruscour]

Could this be made into a general Linux tarball instead of .debs?

Or at least an Arch Linux PKGBUILD, but that won't make users of other distros happy :-)

[Vadi]

no, because I like them debs ^^

(but I don't see what's so hard to ask for tarballs additionally)

[theli]

i can package a tarballs if needed (i, personally, am no using debs..) but it's much easier for now just to checkout source from svn for that ...

or are you talking about binary tarball release? i can do that.

[theli]

0.2 released

proxy support
fix for long server packets (fixes room list retreiving)
/c m fix for windows build
show Clan's Rank and Join Date in tooltip for clanmate
show matchid in tooltip if known
fixed chat info, fixes joining room 'HoN' on reconnect
/who , /whois
user info

[Ruscour]

Looking very nice!

Requesting some amd64 love.

[Subere]

Nice!

Any plans on adding the stats command? (/s <user>)

[theli]

you can view stats in user info - rightclick on buddy/chat participant and select "Info"
or go into menu Contacts->Get UserInfo and enter nickname

[Subere]

Ah nice. Didn't catch that. Thanks.

[Orava1]

I have been waiting this, wonderful job : ). Works nicely on Ubuntu 9.04 and pidgin 2.6.1.

[Subere]

Seems there's an issue with it updating friends statuses?

I turned it on and left it for a bit when no one was online. Checked back and was still the same. Figured it might not be updating and closed / reopened pidgin and low behold there were people online.

Is there something wrong on my end or some way to force a refresh?

[theli]

Is there something wrong on my end or some way to force a refresh?
i had no such issues or reports

[Zephyrix]

Is it possible to not join the default chat channel on connect?
Also at the moment, clicking on room list just freezes pidgen

[theli]

[Koorac]

Very nice.
Just wondering, is there any way to use this with Kopete?

[theli]

Very nice.
Just wondering, is there any way to use this with Kopete?
no..

[Ruscour]

Kopete uses a completely different engine and therefore doesn't use libpurple, so there is no way for it to be ported to Kopete.

Just get Pidgin and the Qt/GTK library and you'll be set.

[dewatempur]

ok ima tryin this out now. thanks.

ps. sry but your wallpaper suck. i got one wally for u here (http://www.macwallpapers.eu/bulkupload/Resolution/1600x1200/4//1600x1200/1600x1200%20Fantastic%20Apple%20Desktop.jpg) hope u like it :D

Requesting /topic support!

[habascontada]

Is there a way to join a channel on start up? And what happens if I'm logged in with pidgin and start HoN? And other way around?

This is great! Thanks a lot!

[theli]

Is there a way to join a channel on start up?
sure
Buddies -> Add Chat
and check 'Autojoin'


And what happens if I'm logged in with pidgin and start HoN?
And other way around?

either way both pidgin and hon will try to reconnect disconnecting each other...

just go offline in pidgin when launching hon

well, that should be a problem with chat server since there are reports now of such behaviour in hon's native client

[Kenjiwing]

nvm im retarded

[SteelSide]

I wrote a quick and dirty python script to disable honpurple, however the account does not behave like it should, i do not know why (other accounts disabled this way end up in the disabled list - hon stays in the enabled list but is actually disabled - try talking in the hon chat and you will see)


#!/usr/bin/env python
# Disables all active 'Heroes of Newerth' accounts
import dbus
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService", "/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject")
purple = dbus.Interface(obj, "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface")

accounts = purple.PurpleAccountsGetAllActive()
for acc in accounts:
if purple.PurpleAccountGetProtocolName(acc) == "Heroes of Newerth":
purple.PurpleAccountSetEnabled(acc,"Heroes of Newerth",False)

Usage - probably put it as a startwrapper for HoN so that it is run before hon.. if you feel like it you can also add some watchguard to see if the hon-x86 process has died and then re-enable the account.
Don't think im going to be using it much unless there's a good way to prevent the standard chat channel from popping up... (i tried some but signals didn't like me, and no time to spend into finding out why, idea was to listen for chat joined -> immediately destroy that chat)

If I understand you right, you're trying to leave the default HoN ## channels. This is impossible for most channels, due to a glitch in the chat server that allows multiple channels with the name HoN ## if ## >= 10.

just join some clan, you'll get clan channel instead of random hon_##

[Xasz]

Useful tool to keep in contact for HoN players on the go... I like it. +1 internets, sir.

[Daedrin]

theli, two things...

If we got support for command line switches to the hon app, would you try to implement joining from pidgin?

of course it would rely on point number two, is there a way to disable an account via your plugin? Disabling honpurple automatically on joining a game would be good.

You will have to disable honpurple before even starting HoN, isn't that right?
Then you could just use the python snippet i posted 7ish posts back and wrap it to start HoN right after.

[theli]

no, if it would be possible to "join" game from honpurple i'd just add going offline when launching hon with connect command


Then you could just use the python snippet i posted 7ish posts back and wrap it to start HoN right after.
also, next version will (probably) handle "stolen" connection correctly ...
i.e. it will try to reconnect with the same cookie (it would be possible if connection broke due to network problems) .. and if chat server rejects that it will just go offline (server will reject it if you logged on using hon)

[theli]

ok, starting with r39 revision honpurple should no longer interfere with hon (both trying to reconnect and disconnecting each other)
while implemented in a much simplier way ...
it just handles differently situations when server closes connection (other logon) and connection drops (network problems)

[TWOs1ck]

Wow, this is great good job!

[Wylker]

Theli where you been, trying to port a melissa bot over to this :P

[theli]

Theli where you been, trying to port a melissa bot over to this :P
it should 'just' work if its that melissa - http://www.cowlark.com/melissa/
also , you can just use any available irc bot and minbif as a lbpurple<->irc gateway

but for all that to work on *nix libhon.so needs to be installed to
/usr/lib/purple-2/ and not /usr/lib/pidgin/ as it is currently ... (that is fixed for upcoming 0.3)

btw, if anyone is interested he can always track project updates via its updates' feed http://code.google.com/feeds/p/honpurple/updates/basic

Why wouldn't this be working for me? Checked plugins and account management and nothing relating to hon purple is there.

but as far as i tested telepathy-haze+hon .. it doesn't playvery nice ... no / commands are working there and it even won't allow me to join channels for some reason.... haven't really messed with this for long


btw improved ebuild. pidgin by default
net-im/pidgin is needed anyway even if you do not install pidgin or finch
( net-im/pidgin is actually a libpurple with optional pidgin and finch)

yup no commands, but it does list buddies which is a start :D
probably due to the telepathy<->libpurple bridge being new-ish



net-im/pidgin is needed anyway even if you do not install pidgin or finch
( net-im/pidgin is actually a libpurple with optional pidgin and finch)

yup, its still as a dependency. Just added a telepathy USE flag to pull in
telepathy-haze



btw it really doesn't like it if you have launched the game and try to connect in the chat, both freak out

Anyway - here's my request.
It would be sweet to have the K/D/A, KD/CD, XP and gold per game just like the ingame stats window - in the "Get info" window.
Right now it only displays the total amount of everything, which doesn't help as much ;p

Well, it never worked with Pidgin. And the networking shouldn't be much of a problem, because Pidgin is allowed to connect everywhere in my firewall and also, disabling it yields no effect.

I would recomment to remove the .o files from the source package.
I'm using debian and since I haven't installed pidgin from apt-get but from source I can't use the .deb package (without changing a bit in it :P), so I use the source code.
I can compile it, but only if I delete the .o files (make clean) before. For newbies this may be confusing, and I guess no1 can do anything with your .o files :P.

I can compile it, but only if I delete the .o files (make clean) before. For newbies this may be confusing, and I guess no1 can do anything with your .o files :P.

lol, yeah , those were left by mistake for 0.4.1

Would it be possible to have some sort of highlighting or indication when you send a whisper so it doesn't look the same as normal chatting within the channel? This sort of confuses me sometimes, although I guess it's not a big deal.

How to add this protocol to Empathy(Ubuntu Telepathy)?
I have installed the deb file and tried the stuff you wrote on previous pages and still honpurple protocol isn't visible in account configuration.

How to add this protocol to Empathy(Ubuntu Telepathy)?
I have installed the deb file and tried the stuff you wrote on previous pages and still honpurple protocol isn't visible in account configuration.

I am using empathy with this plugin and it works sort of well (if you search back a few pages you will see the steps needed or i will post later).

Problems with this an empathy are
#1 if you login to the game you are disconnected from the chat in empathy
#2 none of the server commands work

still handy to see who is online and a quick chat before you launch the game

[SaperPL]

Yes i tried to do what you told before but i dont have haze.manager file ( i have telepathy-haze installed) and i dont know where and how to add this manually to the file because i dont know how (i don't have any honpurple template for it)
EDIT: dunno why but empathy needed system reboot to see telepathy-haze additional protocols - problem solved

[theli]

#1 if you login to the game you are disconnected from the chat in empathy
not a bug, this is a feature (not specific to telepathy)

Why does it say that Im already signed on from another location when Im not? O_O

[theli]

Why does it say that Im already signed on from another location when Im not? O_O
since there is no certain way to know when you really sign on from another location (like loggin in hon) it says that when the server closes the connection ... but it may say that due to some network problems sometimes

no error,compiled fine, but the new HoN protocol doesnt show up. in windows yes, but under linux not.

but under linux comes an errormsg while installing deb:

the libpurple versions of libhon is to old or smth like that, i extracted and installed it anyway.

but doesnt work, not as self compiled or deb-file

[theli]

have you ever thought that there was a reason it gave you an error?

requirements : >=libpurple-2.6.0

[hevil_p]

i compiled pdigin 2.6.6 and finch and libpurple by myself and it works now.

the special question is, how can i use minbif with libhon?, how can i load it? especialy on dd-wrt/openwrt router

thx

[theli]

the special question is, how can i use minbif with libhon?, how can i load it? especialy on dd-wrt/openwrt router
well, once you have minbif set up and running it 'just works' after installing honpurple ...
ie there is no difference between honpurple and any other libpurple supported protocol for minbif

[hevil_p]

hi,

got it all working, minbif finch and pidgin all under linux (dd-wrt not yet).

works fine so far

Hi,

don't really know if it's problem with this plugin or with hon api/protocol
but i changed my clan tag from 3 to 4 letters and in chat buddy list using this plugin, it still appears the old clan tag.

it's not really critical, but it's here just so u know ;)

ps: using pidgin

[theli]

don't really know if it's problem with this plugin or with hon api/protocol

well, clanmates/buddies are added to pidgin's with their nickname without tag as identifier and [tag]nick is set as an alias for them ... this thing is not updated automatically in honpurple ... you can either clean your list or readd contacts or rename them by hand :-/ ... i dunno how this could be implemented in a non-hacky way (maybe just don't add aliases for them)

[AsianGirl]

Is there a way for a bot to automate responses like if someone types !join, it will send a clan invite?

hm, I may try to give a look at it this weekend, I haven't done any plugins for lib-purple code, hopefully the docs can get me through.

nice, it also needs some polishing since some stuff seems to be broken with latest protocol update

just to make sure, cause im rusty,

hon.c = ?
honpurple.c = libpurple calling functions and whatnot

nvm worked it out

[nitestryker]

im getting an "expected declaration specifiers or ... before gchar" error, did you get this?
And do you know why would i be getting this error? Googling hasn't resulted in much so far

[theli]

most probably you are missing dependencies, gchar (and other gtypes) come from glib ( glib.h )

[nitestryker]

hmmm, ok so the gchar is defined in the glib framework. Well thats just dandy since im having massive framework issues at the moment. I'll keep working on it, probably go to the adium IRC to ask about.

Oh yeah just remember, adium 1.5 has some framework issues, so i'll have to download the 1.4 framework -.-

[theli]

its not gchar only (since it is just char) there is some other stuff used from glib

I'm running Windows and my Pidgin installation crashes about every 10 minutes. Also, it doesn't show me colored chat like in-game, it disconnects a lot and it hides channels from me just like the in-game chat. I can't drag sub-windows to actually see the entire channel names. (e.g. Honcast is Honc...) Is there any other client I can use that does have these things?

Using it on Pidgin (Win7 64-bit), is there a way to:

2. Not join a channel when logging in (a lot of popups about people joining and leaving the channel is annoying, plus don't want to be on in one)?

In addition, what is the command to leave the channel. Can't find it in /help.

Great work on the program. Love it!

all i know about building adium port is



[19:53:49] Dopefish: download and install xcode, get the source for adium, get the source for honpurple
[19:54:11] Dopefish: make sure they are in the same location... and the adium directory needs to be named "adium" i think
[19:54:22] Dopefish: then double click the project file and press build
[19:55:57] Dopefish: no, it has to be named "adium-1.4"
[19:56:06] Dopefish: Adium = "../../../adium-1.4";
[19:56:32] Dopefish: so you need to have the directories like
[19:56:38] Dopefish: <somedir>
[19:56:42] Dopefish: <somedir>/adium-1.4
[19:56:58] Dopefish: <somedir>/honpurple/osx/PurpleHoN

yay, thanks!

Adium plugin is just a wrapper around common honpurple code.
That wrapper was originally written by Dopefish. So you need to thank him for adium wrapper :) . But he was really busy irl and had no time even for just a simple build of latest source... so thank Furduncu for this build for new version :) .

Furduncu , i uploaded your xcode project path changes in source code repository, thanks.

also, take a note that adium won't differentiate between whisper and pm .. we are working on that
