honpurple - a Pidgin/libpurple/Finch/Adium plugin

[[E]theli]

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)

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

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

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.

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

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)

[[E]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)

Wow, this is great good job!

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.

nice
Does this work with empathy? a telepathy client?
I have emerge'd honpurple but I can't see anything w.r.t. hon in empathy

oh on an aside the gentoo overlay needs a repo_name file made:
profiles/repo_name

try
sudo rm /usr/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager
quit empathy
pkill mission-control-5
start empathy

or just edit /usr/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager and add a hon entry 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

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)
