Welcome to Pesterchum 3.14.1!
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT'S NEW?
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
* Quirks now have a lower(), scramble(), and reverse() function!
|
||||
* Timestamps - check your Config!
|
||||
* Logviewer - View logs right in Pesterchum!
|
||||
* Quirk ordering - order your quirks so they work right!
|
||||
* # of users in a memo - You can now see how many users are in a memo.
|
||||
* @links to users - typing @ before user's name creates a link
|
||||
that will pester them!
|
||||
* Support for REPORT and ALT to calSprite built in -
|
||||
If someone is bothering you, or a canon handle is idle, or
|
||||
for whatever reason, right click their name and go to "Report"
|
||||
to report them to a moderator.
|
||||
If you want to talk to an alt canon handle, just right click
|
||||
the username!
|
||||
if you have an alt handle, register it with calSprite!
|
||||
|
||||
Here's some tips to help you get started:
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- You can import your old Pesterchum contacts by going to
|
||||
CLIENT->IMPORT and opening your pesterchum.cfg file. This is usually
|
||||
in the 2.5 base directory or in Tinychum's data folder.
|
||||
- Some themes can be confusing if you haven't used the program
|
||||
already! Some hints:
|
||||
* Trollian: Moods are set by clicking the timelines, and you
|
||||
can add chums by clicking "Chumproll." Moods correspond to the troll
|
||||
that would most likely exhibit them. You can go offline by hitting the
|
||||
"Timelines" menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
* Gold: Add chums by hitting the two chumpeoples in the upper left
|
||||
corner. Go offline by clicking the "CHUMHANDLE:" label.
|
||||
|
||||
* Enamel: Add chums by hitting the "CHUMROLL" label. Go offline by
|
||||
clicking the upper left hand corner.
|
||||
|
||||
- Right-click is your friend! There are useful right click
|
||||
options on the chumroll, by clicking the chumhandle in a conversation,
|
||||
online userlist, or the list of memo browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
Cool features:
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Importing from old PC. It can already do your chumlist, soon it will
|
||||
import your quirks from 2.5 and TC as well!
|
||||
- Profile switching. Instantly switch profiles, loading your color and
|
||||
quirks with it.
|
||||
- Theme switching and creation. So far this comes with a few official
|
||||
themes! But you can also make your own: just make a new directory in
|
||||
the themes folder with the proper images and style.js file. The
|
||||
style.js file will be documented soon, but feel free to poke at it.
|
||||
- Memos. Memos that are a lot more like the ones in the comic and
|
||||
allow you to appear at multiple times in one chat.
|
||||
- Quirks: Prefix, suffix, simple replace, regexp replace (like in
|
||||
2.5), random replacement, and an auto-mispeller :P
|
||||
- Chum groups. Organize your chums into collapsible groups for easy
|
||||
management.
|
||||
- Block/user list
|
||||
- Add/block chums directly from a conversation, the userlist, or memo
|
||||
userlist.
|
||||
- Timestamps saved in logs and shown in conversations if wanted.
|
||||
- Logging. Logs are output in bbcode (for easy forum posting), html,
|
||||
and plain text.
|
||||
- Logviewer for easy log reading inside Pesterchum
|
||||
- Idling. You can set yourself idle manually, and the computer will
|
||||
set it for you after 10 minutes.
|
||||
- Improved /me. Any letters immediately following /me will be
|
||||
processed correctly. e.g. /me'd rather be fishing -> -- ghostDunk'd
|
||||
[GD'D] rather be fishing --
|
||||
- Hyperlinks! Now if someone types http://whatever it will turn into a
|
||||
link you can just click and follow. No more copy/paste.
|
||||
- Memo links. Link your friends to your memos.
|
||||
- Smilies. We've added about 30-40 smilies from the forums. There is a
|
||||
list later on in this readme.
|
||||
- Submit quotes directly to the Pesterchum QDB!
|
||||

Q: Norton says it has a virus and then deletes it!
|
||||
A: Read this helpful Norton FAQ:
|
||||
|
||||
Alright, here's a guide to by-passing Norton:
|
||||
|
||||
* First, to download Pesterchum:
|
||||
1. Make sure you're on a Moderator account. Moreso for the Norton steps than these ones.
|
||||
2. Download the .zip file, not the .exe file.
|
||||
3. Unzip the .zip file onto memory. Pesterchum should now be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* Now, to by-pass Norton:
|
||||
1. Make sure you're still on a moderator account.
|
||||
2. Open up Norton.
|
||||
3. Click on 'Settings' up in the upperright hand corner.
|
||||
4. Click on 'Anitivirus', off to the upper left. It has a small image of a needle or something similar off to it's side.
|
||||
5. There's a word that reads 'SONAR protection' halfway to the bottomleft. Off to it's right, there's a bar that's half green. Click on the bar.
|
||||
6. It will warn you about turning off SONAR. Have it set to turn back on when the system restarts.
|
||||
7. If done properly, the background for the main page of Norton(what you saw on steps 2-3) has turned an apocaliptic red. Feel free to close Norton now. Keep in mind to stay off suspicious online sites now.
|
||||
8. Open up Pesterchum, and let the chummy convos begin.
|
||||
|
||||
* When finished:
|
||||
1. Log off of Pesterchum. LOG OFF, NOT CLOSE IT.
|
||||
2. Then, you can either shut off your comp, and Norton will re-enable SONAR, or you can repeat steps 1-5, except turning the red bar green. If done right, Norton will be it's happy color again.
|
||||
3, Keep in mind that you must repeat all of this(other than the download) every time you want to get on Pesterchum.
|
||||
|
||||
* Hope this is helpful!

-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I can't connect because my school/university/network/stolen wifi is blocking my connection! OR I can't seem to connect to the server at all and I'm not running any firewalls!
|
||||
A: Edit your pesterchum.js file. Open it up in notepad or something, and then edit the beginning so it looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
{"port": "1413", ....
|
||||
|
||||
where the .... is the rest of the gobbledygook there.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The mood buttons on Pesterchum 6.0 don't match up to what it sets your mood to! What gives?
|
||||
A: The mood names are just there to look canon. It is intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I'm appearing as offline to 2.5 users/other users appear the wrong
|
||||
mood? What's happeninggggg
|
||||
A: The 2.5 people decided to change the mood protocol. When I made
|
||||
this program, I decided to go with Tinychat's original protocol (and
|
||||
extend it). So some moods will appear wrong between 2.5
|
||||
users. (*COUGH*tell them to switch to 3.14*COUGH*)
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Pesterchum 2.5 users don't get my /me messages correctly!
|
||||
A: That's because they implemented the /me command differently.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we resize the main window?
|
||||
A: No. This is done so we can offer more flexible UI creation. It's a
|
||||
lot easier to make themes that look canon this way.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we have different chum rolls for different users?
|
||||
A: No. Instead what we're going to do in a later update is make chum
|
||||
groups to organize people in your list.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we delete profiles?
|
||||
A: Yes. Go to the profiles directory and delete the corresponding
|
||||
username file.
|
||||
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: You should make it so you can ban specific time frames in memos.
|
||||
A: This was too complicated to implement, and I don't have the UI
|
||||
quite figured out. This will probably go in a future update.
|
||||

|
||||
DOCUMENTATION
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
STARTING
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If this is your first time running Pesterchum 3.14, you need to create
|
||||
a new profile. Just type in your chum handle in the box and click the
|
||||
color swatch to pick your color. Check the "default" checkbox to make
|
||||
this your default profile.
|
||||
|
||||
BASIC PESTERING
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
To begin pestering, first click the "ADD CHUM" button and type in
|
||||
their pester handle. The handle must be all lower case except for one
|
||||
capital letter. Once you've added that person, they will appear on
|
||||
your chumroll. You can double click to begin pestering them, or
|
||||
right-click to bring up a menu where you can pester them, block them,
|
||||
or remove them from your chumroll. (Or you can select them and hit
|
||||
"enter" OR hit the "PESTER" button.)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you begin pestering somebody (or they begin pestering you), it
|
||||
will bring up the conversation window. Here you can type to your
|
||||
chum. Also remember that if you right-click on the area just above the
|
||||
Pesterlog, it will bring up a list of options: Quirks Off will turn
|
||||
your quirks off, Add Chum will add this chum to your list, and Block
|
||||
will block them. (Those last two options are useful if you are being
|
||||
pestered by someone you don't have on your list yet!)
|
||||
|
||||
While pestering your chum, here are some useful features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Type /me to create a system message. "/me facepalms." will generate:
|
||||
-- ghostDunk [GD] facepalms. --
|
||||
You can also append 's after /me like so: "/me's computer exploded."
|
||||
-- ghostDunk's [GD'S] computer exploded. --
|
||||
In fact, any characters you type after a /me before the space will
|
||||
be added: "/meing is the Ghost Nation's official pastime."
|
||||
-- ghostDunking [GDING] is the Ghost Nation's official pastime. --
|
||||
|
||||
* Color tags! If you feel the need to talk about The Green Sun or add
|
||||
some appleberry blast to your conversation, just use color
|
||||
tags. These work like in TC 1.5: <c=(color)>colored text</c>. But in
|
||||
PC 3.14, you can use type your color in a lot of different ways:
|
||||
- You can use the familiar r,g,b method:
|
||||
"<c=0,255,0>The Green Sun</c>"
|
||||
- You can use HTML tags:
|
||||
"<c=#7f7f7f>DURR I'M KARKAT AND I'M A HUGE IDIOT</c>"
|
||||
- You can even use plain color names:
|
||||
"<c=red>D4V3 TH1S 1S SO D3C4D3NT</c>"
|
||||
(list: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp)
|
||||
- You don't even have to add the </c> if you are lazy. Just use a
|
||||
new color tag whenever you want to change colors and PC 3.14 will
|
||||
add the extra tags for you.
|
||||
|
||||
* URLS (anything with http:// in front of it) will automatically be
|
||||
detected and made into a link you can CLIPK.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can also link people to memos by typing "#" and the name of the
|
||||
menu like so: #R41NBOW_RUMPUS_P4RTYTOWN
|
||||
Clicking the link will open up the memo select menu.
|
||||
|
||||
* Smilies! There are a list of smilies at the end of this document;
|
||||
they are based on the MSPA Forum smilies. They don't animate, though
|
||||
:(
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't worry about your quirks screwing up any of the above: PC will
|
||||
apply your quirks AFTER it figures out color codes, links, smilies, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pressing the up arrow will cycle through a history of your comments,
|
||||
so if you want to retype something, you can pull it up.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can submit directly to the Pesterchum Quote Database! If you
|
||||
have a particualarly awesome conversation, you can submit it to the
|
||||
database by simply highlighting the good part of the conversation,
|
||||
right clicking it and choosing "Submit to Pesterchum QDB!"
|
||||
|
||||
MEMOS
|
||||
-----
|
||||
One of the most interesting features to make was the memos, and make
|
||||
them as close to the comic as I could without actually inventing time
|
||||
travel. So here is the TIME TUTORIAL:
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Joining:</b> When you go CLIENT->MEMOS, you'll see a list of memos pop up
|
||||
-- those are memos people already have open. To join one, just
|
||||
highlight one of them. If you want to make a new memo, just type it in
|
||||
the input. If you'd like to make it secret, so that it doesn't appear
|
||||
in the list, check "HIDDEN CHANNEL". Then, choose what timeframe you
|
||||
want to appear to be in. So if you wanted to be in the future, you
|
||||
could move the slider to the right. You can also enter the time
|
||||
manually. Then hit JOIN.
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Explaining time:</b> Time in memos, unlike Homestuck, will not be relative
|
||||
to your position. That is, if you choose 4:13 in the future, you will
|
||||
not see someone who has set their time as "current" (or "0") in the
|
||||
past: you will see them as "current" and yourself as "future." This is
|
||||
because we do not have time travel! Memo time setting is basically an
|
||||
RP mechanic: you are pretending to be from the future! It will also
|
||||
help keep everyone straight: everyone will see the same thing!
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>The time slider:</b> The slider shows your current position in the time
|
||||
stream. If you want to change your time frame, simply move the slider
|
||||
(or type a time in) and hit GO. This will open a new time frame, and
|
||||
the next time you type a message, the memo will show that you've
|
||||
responded to it in that time frame. You can now switch between your
|
||||
time frames simply by clicking the arrows in the right hand
|
||||
corner. (THIS COMES IN HANDY IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH YOURSELF.) You
|
||||
can have any number of open time frames, and the program will number
|
||||
them in the order in which you open them (like in the comic). You can
|
||||
have one of your time frames cease responding to the memo by hitting
|
||||
"CLOSE." If you open that time frame again, the program will remember
|
||||
the number it originally gave it. If you want to be mysteeeeeeeerious,
|
||||
you can type in "?" and you will appear as ???.
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>The memo viewer list:</b> To the right is a list of people currently
|
||||
browsing the memo. A shade icon next to their name means they are the
|
||||
"operator" of the memo: meaning they can kick ("ban") people from the
|
||||
memo and make other people operators as well. A "ban" is not permanent
|
||||
(like in the comic), and the program will ask if you want to reconnect
|
||||
to the memo. You kick and op people by right clicking their name in
|
||||
the window. You can also add them to your chumroll!
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Inviting people to your memo:</b> You can link to a memo by simply typing
|
||||
"#nameofmemo" in any conversation or memo window. So you can say:
|
||||
|
||||
CG: NOW YOU, ME, AND EGBERT NEED TO HAVE A CHAT.
|
||||
CG: CLICK IT.
|
||||
CG: #FRUITYRUMPUSASSHOLEFACTORY
|
||||
|
||||
and it will appear as a link that you can click, which will open the
|
||||
memo chooser window.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Sounds On:</b> Uncheck to shut it the fuck up.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
multiple instances of PC running on two or more handles!
|
||||
|
||||
CALSPRITE
|
||||
---------
|
||||
calSprite is the bot that helps moderate canon handle usage! Simply pester
|
||||
calSprite with the world "HELP" (turn your quirks off!) and you
|
||||
will get instructions on how to use calSprite!
|
||||
|
||||
QUIRKS
|
||||
------
|
||||
There are six kinds of quirks! I'll teach you how to use them all!
|
||||
(In this section, I will use quotes ("") around things so it's clearer
|
||||
to see exactly what to type! Don't include these quotes when using
|
||||
these examples!
|
||||
|
||||
Also, note that your quirks will not work until you save them by
|
||||
hitting "OK" on the Quirk window.
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Prefix/Suffix:</b>
|
||||
This will put text before or after everything you
|
||||
say. So for example, we can use prefixes to emulate part of Nepeta or
|
||||
Equius' quirks:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
PREFIX: ":33 < "
|
||||
You type: "*ac twitches her friendly whiskers at ct*"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AC: :33 < *ac twitches her friendly whiskers at ct*
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
PREFIX: "D --> "
|
||||
You type: "Hi"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> Hi
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Suffixes work the same way, but at the end of the message:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
SUFFIX: "!!!"
|
||||
You type: hey there
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: hey there!!!
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that it doesn't automatically add a space! You'll need to add
|
||||
it in (see CT and AC examples again!)
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Simple Replace:</b>
|
||||
This will simply take a set of characters and replace them with other
|
||||
characters.
|
||||
* Let's add a quirk to our Nepeta:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "ee" With: "33"
|
||||
You type: "*ac saunters from her dark cave a little bit sleepy from
|
||||
the recent kill*"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AC: :33 < *ac saunters from her dark cave a little bit sl33py from the
|
||||
recent kill*
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* Let's add two to Equius:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "loo" With: "100"
|
||||
Replace: "x" With "%"
|
||||
You type: "look"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> 100k
|
||||
|
||||
You type: "What are you expecting to accomplish with this"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> What are you e%pecting to accomplish with this
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* Aradia:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "o" With: "0"
|
||||
You type: "and the reward would be within our reach"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AA: and the reward w0uld be within 0ur reach
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that it is CASE SENSITIVE. So in the above case, if you typed
|
||||
"ABSCOND", it would not replace the "O".
|
||||
|
||||
* Sollux:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "i" With: "ii"
|
||||
Replace: "s" With: "2"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* Eridan:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "v" With: "vv"
|
||||
Replace: "w" With: "ww"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* Feferi:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Replace: "h" with: ")("
|
||||
Replace: "H" with: ")("
|
||||
Replace: "E" with: "-E"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Regexp Replace:</b>
|
||||
This is a more complex kind of replacement. Regexp stands for "regular
|
||||
expression", a kind of programming language (yes, it is a language)
|
||||
used to find and replace text. PC 3.14 also includes a function to
|
||||
handle capitalization (upper()). If you want to learn it on your own,
|
||||
I suggest you start with the Python tutorial
|
||||
(http://docs.python.org/howto/regex.html) since PC 3.14 uses Python's
|
||||
regexps. Check out V2.5's tutorial too, as that is a pretty good start
|
||||
as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* Let's start with Karkat. Regexps are just like your every day find and
|
||||
replace: they search for a string that matches what you want to
|
||||
replace, and replaces it with... the replacement.
|
||||
<pre>Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "upper(\1)"</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Three concepts here. Let's look at the regexp. "(.)" has two things
|
||||
going on. The first is that ".". In regexp speak, "." is the wildcard:
|
||||
it will match *any* character -- and just one.
|
||||
|
||||
The parentheses tell the regexp to *save* what's inside them so you
|
||||
can put it back when you replace. That's what the "\1" is for -- it
|
||||
means, "put the match inside parentheses #1 here". You can have any
|
||||
number of parentheses.
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>"upper()"</b> is a function special to PC 3.14 -- it will uppercase
|
||||
anything inside the parentheses. So in this case, upper will uppercase
|
||||
"\1" -- which, as you recall is what we found inside the
|
||||
parentheses. Which was *every* character. So to sum up, it replaces
|
||||
every character with an uppercase version of that character. WHICH
|
||||
MAKES YOU TALK LIKE THIS.
|
||||
|
||||
* Let's look at Terezi next.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "[aA]" Replace with: "4"
|
||||
Regexp: "[iI]" Replace with: "1"
|
||||
Regexp: "[eE]" Replace with: "3"
|
||||
Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "upper(\1)"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
We already know what the last line does. But what's up with those
|
||||
brackets? What's their deal? Basically, in regular expressions,
|
||||
brackets indicate a list of matching characters. So, basically any
|
||||
single character within the brackets will be matched. In this case,
|
||||
either "a" or "A" will be matched and replaced with "4," and likewise,
|
||||
"i" and "I" will be replaced with "1", and "e" and "E" will be
|
||||
replaced with "3."
|
||||
|
||||
Just like there is an <b>"upper()"</b> function, there is also a <b>"lower()"</b>
|
||||
function. It acts just like <b>"upper()"</b> but instead makes everything
|
||||
inside the parentheses lowercase. This allows you to do things like:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "lower(\1)"
|
||||
You type: "I AM YELLING"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: i am yelling
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Along with the upper and lower functions is a <b>"scramble()"</b> function.
|
||||
The purpose of this function is to randomly scramble anything inside
|
||||
the parentheses.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "(\w)(\w*)(\w)" Replace with: "\1scramble(\2)\3"
|
||||
You type: "hello there"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: hlelo trhee
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
This particular regular expression scrambles all of the letters in
|
||||
the middle of a word. Notice that the "h" and "o" at the beginning
|
||||
and end of hello remain in place while the other letters are scrambled.
|
||||
|
||||
You should also know that "^" is a special character in brackets. If
|
||||
placed immediately after the opening bracket (like "[^"), then the
|
||||
brackets instead match every character *except* the ones in the
|
||||
brackets. So, for example, if you wanted to have a quirk where you
|
||||
capitalized all your letters *except* o, you'd do this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "([^o])" Replace with: "upper(\1)"
|
||||
You type: "hello there"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: HELLo THERE
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
You can also specify a *range* of characters inside the brackets, by
|
||||
using the "-" character. [a-z] will match any lowercase letter. You
|
||||
can combine them, too: [a-z0-9] will match any digit and lowercase letter.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also different shortcuts for character types:
|
||||
* \d matches any digit; same as [0-9]
|
||||
* \D matches any non-digit; same as [^0-9]
|
||||
* \s matches any spaces
|
||||
* \S matches any non-space
|
||||
* \w matches any alphanumeric character; same as [a-zA-Z0-9_]
|
||||
* \W matches any non-alphanumeric character; same as [^a-zA-Z0-9_]
|
||||
|
||||
You can include this inside brackets, too.
|
||||
|
||||
There's also a special character, \b. What \b does is make sure that
|
||||
you are at the beginning or end of a word.
|
||||
* So with that knowledge, let's try Kanaya:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: \b(\w) Replace with: upper(\1)
|
||||
You type: "i suggest you come to terms with it"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GA: I Suggest You Come To Terms With It
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Another feature of regular expressions is the ability to match
|
||||
*repeated* characters. There are three repeat characters: the "*", the
|
||||
"+", "?", and "{m,n}". They work by playing them after the character,
|
||||
or character type you want to match. (So, you could say "\s+" or ".*")
|
||||
|
||||
The "*" character matches ZERO or more of that character. So, for
|
||||
example, "f*" would match "f" and "ff" -- and any other character!
|
||||
That's right, every character counts as matching it zero times. Yeah,
|
||||
it's weird. I suggest you use...
|
||||
|
||||
The "+" character matches ONE or more of that character. So, if we
|
||||
wanted to have a character that wanted to elongate their s's so that
|
||||
they used four 's's every time, like sssso, but didn't want to have
|
||||
eight s's when using words with double s's, like pass, we'd do this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "s+" Replace with: "ssss"
|
||||
You type: "you shall not pass"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
UU: you sssshall not passss
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
As for the other two, I can't really think of any useful quirks to be
|
||||
made with them. But to let you know, "?" matches either 0 or 1 of that
|
||||
character, so "trolls?" would match "troll" and "trolls". "{m,n}"
|
||||
matches between m and n characters. (If you leave out 'n', any number
|
||||
of characters more than m will be matched.) So "s{2,4}" will match
|
||||
"ss", "sss", and "ssss" and that's it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now with repeating expressions, we can do something like make EVERY
|
||||
other WORD capitalized:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "(\w+) (\w+)" Replace with: "upper(\1) \2"
|
||||
You type: "this is pretty annoying i bet"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: THIS is PRETTY annoying I bet
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
The \1 matches the first word -- which has been matched because the
|
||||
word is alphanumeric characters, repeated once or more -- and \2
|
||||
matches the second word.
|
||||
|
||||
Another operator to use is the "|", which will match more than one set
|
||||
of characters. For example, "black|red" will match "black" or
|
||||
"red". If you want to match something in the middle of words, you have
|
||||
to use parentheses: "(black|red) romance" will match "black romance"
|
||||
and "red romance".
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, there are the "^" and "$" characters. Yes, we already did the
|
||||
"^" character, but this is OUTSIDE of brackets, not INSIDE. "^"
|
||||
matches the beginning of a message, and "$" matches the end of it. You
|
||||
can use this to make more sophisticated prefix and suffix
|
||||
behaviors. For example, if we have a quirk that adds "..." to the end
|
||||
of all our messages, we can set it up so it doesn't do that if we put
|
||||
punctuation [?!.] at the end. So:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "([^?!.])$" Replace with: "\1..."
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
This will match the end of any message as long as it doesn't have
|
||||
"?", "!", or "." at the end. Then it will replace it with whatever the
|
||||
last character of the sentence was (remember we're replacing it, so we
|
||||
have to put it back!) and add "..." at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
Careful with the beginning and ending replaces -- if you use more than
|
||||
one, you may not get what you expect because they will ALL be applied,
|
||||
one after the other! This is a bug in my opinion, that I plan to fix!
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Random replace:</b>
|
||||
Just like the regexp replace, except that instead of just one thing to
|
||||
replace it with, you give it a list. PC will then choose from that
|
||||
list randomly. So let's say I want to randomly end my sentences with
|
||||
either "bro" or "dog":
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "$" Replace with: "bro" and "dog"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
* You can also imitate Araida's random "ribbits" in between words:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Regexp: "\s" Replace with: " ribbit ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", etc....
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
where " " is just a blank space added a bunch of times. (You can see
|
||||
how many blank spaces you've added by clicking on the list.) You have
|
||||
to add the spaces because each entry has the same chance of being
|
||||
selected. (Yes, I know this could be improved.) If you add " ribbit "
|
||||
and 9 spaces, " ribbit " will have a 1/10 chance of being picked.
|
||||
|
||||
Also note that if you add more than one prefix or more than one
|
||||
suffix, it will pick randomly from them instead of adding them both!
|
||||
|
||||
* <b>Mispeller</b>:
|
||||
Be careful with thsi one. The mispeller will randomly mispell x% of
|
||||
the words you type -- where x is the percentage you set the slider
|
||||
to. I have attempted to mimic SBaHJ mispelling style but whoof knows
|
||||
what will happen oh god ive created a mosnter

Welcome to Pesterchum 3.14.1!
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT'S NEW?
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
* Quirks now have a lower(), scramble(), and reverse() function!
|
||||
* Timestamps - check your Config!
|
||||
* Logviewer - View logs right in Pesterchum!
|
||||
* Quirk ordering - order your quirks so they work right!
|
||||
* # of users in a memo - You can now see how many users are in a memo.
|
||||
* @links to users - typing @ before user's name creates a link
|
||||
that will pester them!
|
||||
* Support for REPORT and ALT to calSprite built in -
|
||||
If someone is bothering you, or a canon handle is idle, or
|
||||
for whatever reason, right click their name and go to "Report"
|
||||
to report them to a moderator.
|
||||
If you want to talk to an alt canon handle, just right click
|
||||
the username!
|
||||
if you have an alt handle, register it with calSprite!
|
||||
|
||||
Here's some tips to help you get started:
|
||||
|
||||
- You can import your old Pesterchum contacts by going to
|
||||
CLIENT->IMPORT and opening your pesterchum.cfg file. This is usually
|
||||
in the 2.5 base directory or in Tinychum's data folder.
|
||||
- Some themes can be confusing if you haven't used the program
|
||||
already! Some hints:
|
||||
|
||||
Trollian: Moods are set by clicking the timelines, and you
|
||||
can add chums by clicking "Chumproll." Moods correspond to the troll
|
||||
that would most likely exhibit them. You can go offline by hitting the
|
||||
"Timelines" menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
Gold: Add chums by hitting the two chumpeoples in the upper left
|
||||
corner. Go offline by clicking the "CHUMHANDLE:" label.
|
||||
|
||||
Enamel: Add chums by hitting the "CHUMROLL" label. Go offline by
|
||||
clicking the upper left hand corner.
|
||||
|
||||
- Right-click is your friend! There are useful right click
|
||||
options on the chumroll, by clicking the chumhandle in a conversation,
|
||||
online userlist, or the list of memo browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
Cool features:
|
||||
- Importing from old PC. It can already do your chumlist, soon it will
|
||||
import your quirks from 2.5 and TC as well!
|
||||
- Profile switching. Instantly switch profiles, loading your color and
|
||||
quirks with it.
|
||||
- Theme switching and creation. So far this comes with a few official
|
||||
themes! But you can also make your own: just make a new directory in
|
||||
the themes folder with the proper images and style.js file. The
|
||||
style.js file will be documented soon, but feel free to poke at it.
|
||||
- Memos. Memos that are a lot more like the ones in the comic and
|
||||
allow you to appear at multiple times in one chat.
|
||||
- Quirks: Prefix, suffix, simple replace, regexp replace (like in
|
||||
2.5), random replacement, and an auto-mispeller :P
|
||||
- Chum groups. Organize your chums into collapsible groups for easy
|
||||
management.
|
||||
- Block/user list
|
||||
- Add/block chums directly from a conversation, the userlist, or memo
|
||||
userlist.
|
||||
- Timestamps saved in logs and shown in conversations if wanted.
|
||||
- Logging. Logs are output in bbcode (for easy forum posting), html,
|
||||
and plain text.
|
||||
- Logviewer for easy log reading inside Pesterchum
|
||||
- Idling. You can set yourself idle manually, and the computer will
|
||||
set it for you after 10 minutes.
|
||||
- Improved /me. Any letters immediately following /me will be
|
||||
processed correctly. e.g. /me'd rather be fishing -> -- ghostDunk'd
|
||||
[GD'D] rather be fishing --
|
||||
- Hyperlinks! Now if someone types http://whatever it will turn into a
|
||||
link you can just click and follow. No more copy/paste.
|
||||
- Memo links. Link your friends to your memos.
|
||||
- Smilies. We've added about 30-40 smilies from the forums. There is a
|
||||
list later on in this readme.
|
||||
- Submit quotes directly to the Pesterchum QDB!

Q: Norton says it has a virus and then deletes it!
|
||||
A: Read this helpful Norton FAQ:
|
||||
|
||||
Alright, here's a guide to by-passing Norton:
|
||||
First, to download Pesterchum:
|
||||
1: Make sure you're on a Moderator account. Moreso for the Norton steps than these ones.
|
||||
2: Download the .zip file, not the .exe file.
|
||||
3: Unzip the .zip file onto memory. Pesterchum should now be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, to by-pass Norton:
|
||||
1: Make sure you're still on a moderator account.
|
||||
2: Open up Norton.
|
||||
3: Click on 'Settings' up in the upperright hand corner.
|
||||
4: Click on 'Anitivirus', off to the upper left. It has a small image of a needle or something similar off to it's side.
|
||||
5: There's a word that reads 'SONAR protection' halfway to the bottomleft. Off to it's right, there's a bar that's half green. Click on the bar.
|
||||
6: It will warn you about turning off SONAR. Have it set to turn back on when the system restarts.
|
||||
7: If done properly, the background for the main page of Norton(what you saw on steps 2-3) has turned an apocaliptic red. Feel free to close Norton now. Keep in mind to stay off suspicious online sites now.
|
||||
8: Open up Pesterchum, and let the chummy convos begin.
|
||||
|
||||
When finished:
|
||||
First, Log off of Pesterchum. LOG OFF, NOT CLOSE IT.
|
||||
Then, you can either shut off your comp, and Norton will re-enable SONAR, or you can repeat steps 1-5, except turning the red bar green. If done right, Norton will be it's happy color again.
|
||||
Keep in mind that you must repeat all of this(other than the download) every time you want to get on Pesterchum.
|
||||
|
||||
Hope this is helpful!

Q: I can't connect because my school/university/network/stolen wifi is blocking my connection! OR I can't seem to connect to the server at all and I'm not running any firewalls!
|
||||
A: Edit your pesterchum.js file. Open it up in notepad or something, and then edit the beginning so it looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
{"port": "1413", ....
|
||||
|
||||
where the .... is the rest of the gobbledygook there.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The mood buttons on Pesterchum 6.0 don't match up to what it sets your mood to! What gives?
|
||||
A: The mood names are just there to look canon. It is intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I'm appearing as offline to 2.5 users/other users appear the wrong
|
||||
mood? What's happeninggggg
|
||||
A: The 2.5 people decided to change the mood protocol. When I made
|
||||
this program, I decided to go with Tinychat's original protocol (and
|
||||
extend it). So some moods will appear wrong between 2.5
|
||||
users. (*COUGH*tell them to switch to 3.14*COUGH*)
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Pesterchum 2.5 users don't get my /me messages correctly!
|
||||
A: That's because they implemented the /me command differently.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we resize the main window?
|
||||
A: No. This is done so we can offer more flexible UI creation. It's a
|
||||
lot easier to make themes that look canon this way.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we have different chum rolls for different users?
|
||||
A: No. Instead what we're going to do in a later update is make chum
|
||||
groups to organize people in your list.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can we delete profiles?
|
||||
A: Yes. Go to the profiles directory and delete the corresponding
|
||||
username file.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: You should make it so you can ban specific time frames in memos.
|
||||
A: This was too complicated to implement, and I don't have the UI
|
||||
quite figured out. This will probably go in a future update.

DOCUMENTATION
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
STARTING
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If this is your first time running Pesterchum 3.14, you need to create
|
||||
a new profile. Just type in your chum handle in the box and click the
|
||||
color swatch to pick your color. Check the "default" checkbox to make
|
||||
this your default profile.
|
||||
|
||||
BASIC PESTERING
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
To begin pestering, first click the "ADD CHUM" button and type in
|
||||
their pester handle. The handle must be all lower case except for one
|
||||
capital letter. Once you've added that person, they will appear on
|
||||
your chumroll. You can double click to begin pestering them, or
|
||||
right-click to bring up a menu where you can pester them, block them,
|
||||
or remove them from your chumroll. (Or you can select them and hit
|
||||
"enter" OR hit the "PESTER" button.)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you begin pestering somebody (or they begin pestering you), it
|
||||
will bring up the conversation window. Here you can type to your
|
||||
chum. Also remember that if you right-click on the area just above the
|
||||
Pesterlog, it will bring up a list of options: Quirks Off will turn
|
||||
your quirks off, Add Chum will add this chum to your list, and Block
|
||||
will block them. (Those last two options are useful if you are being
|
||||
pestered by someone you don't have on your list yet!)
|
||||
|
||||
While pestering your chum, here are some useful features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Type /me to create a system message. "/me facepalms." will generate:
|
||||
-- ghostDunk [GD] facepalms. --
|
||||
You can also append 's after /me like so: "/me's computer exploded."
|
||||
-- ghostDunk's [GD'S] computer exploded. --
|
||||
In fact, any characters you type after a /me before the space will
|
||||
be added: "/meing is the Ghost Nation's official pastime."
|
||||
-- ghostDunking [GDING] is the Ghost Nation's official pastime. --
|
||||
|
||||
* Color tags! If you feel the need to talk about The Green Sun or add
|
||||
some appleberry blast to your conversation, just use color
|
||||
tags. These work like in TC 1.5: <c=(color)>colored text</c>. But in
|
||||
PC 3.14, you can use type your color in a lot of different ways:
|
||||
- You can use the familiar r,g,b method:
|
||||
"<c=0,255,0>The Green Sun</c>"
|
||||
- You can use HTML tags:
|
||||
"<c=#7f7f7f>DURR I'M KARKAT AND I'M A HUGE IDIOT</c>"
|
||||
- You can even use plain color names:
|
||||
"<c=red>D4V3 TH1S 1S SO D3C4D3NT</c>"
|
||||
(list: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp)
|
||||
- You don't even have to add the </c> if you are lazy. Just use a
|
||||
new color tag whenever you want to change colors and PC 3.14 will
|
||||
add the extra tags for you.
|
||||
|
||||
* URLS (anything with http:// in front of it) will automatically be
|
||||
detected and made into a link you can CLIPK.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can also link people to memos by typing "#" and the name of the
|
||||
menu like so: #R41NBOW_RUMPUS_P4RTYTOWN
|
||||
Clicking the link will open up the memo select menu.
|
||||
|
||||
* Smilies! There are a list of smilies at the end of this document;
|
||||
they are based on the MSPA Forum smilies. They don't animate, though
|
||||
:(
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't worry about your quirks screwing up any of the above: PC will
|
||||
apply your quirks AFTER it figures out color codes, links, smilies, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pressing the up arrow will cycle through a history of your comments,
|
||||
so if you want to retype something, you can pull it up.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can submit directly to the Pesterchum Quote Database! If you
|
||||
have a particualarly awesome conversation, you can submit it to the
|
||||
database by simply highlighting the good part of the conversation,
|
||||
right clicking it and choosing "Submit to Pesterchum QDB!"
|
||||
|
||||
MEMOS
|
||||
-----
|
||||
One of the most interesting features to make was the memos, and make
|
||||
them as close to the comic as I could without actually inventing time
|
||||
travel. So here is the TIME TUTORIAL:
|
||||
|
||||
Joining: When you go CLIENT->MEMOS, you'll see a list of memos pop up
|
||||
-- those are memos people already have open. To join one, just
|
||||
highlight one of them. If you want to make a new memo, just type it in
|
||||
the input. If you'd like to make it secret, so that it doesn't appear
|
||||
in the list, check "HIDDEN CHANNEL". Then, choose what timeframe you
|
||||
want to appear to be in. So if you wanted to be in the future, you
|
||||
could move the slider to the right. You can also enter the time
|
||||
manually. Then hit JOIN.
|
||||
|
||||
Explaining time: Time in memos, unlike Homestuck, will not be relative
|
||||
to your position. That is, if you choose 4:13 in the future, you will
|
||||
not see someone who has set their time as "current" (or "0") in the
|
||||
past: you will see them as "current" and yourself as "future." This is
|
||||
because we do not have time travel! Memo time setting is basically an
|
||||
RP mechanic: you are pretending to be from the future! It will also
|
||||
help keep everyone straight: everyone will see the same thing!
|
||||
|
||||
The time slider: The slider shows your current position in the time
|
||||
stream. If you want to change your time frame, simply move the slider
|
||||
(or type a time in) and hit GO. This will open a new time frame, and
|
||||
the next time you type a message, the memo will show that you've
|
||||
responded to it in that time frame. You can now switch between your
|
||||
time frames simply by clicking the arrows in the right hand
|
||||
corner. (THIS COMES IN HANDY IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH YOURSELF.) You
|
||||
can have any number of open time frames, and the program will number
|
||||
them in the order in which you open them (like in the comic). You can
|
||||
have one of your time frames cease responding to the memo by hitting
|
||||
"CLOSE." If you open that time frame again, the program will remember
|
||||
the number it originally gave it. If you want to be mysteeeeeeeerious,
|
||||
you can type in "?" and you will appear as ???.
|
||||
|
||||
The memo viewer list: To the right is a list of people currently
|
||||
browsing the memo. A shade icon next to their name means they are the
|
||||
"operator" of the memo: meaning they can kick ("ban") people from the
|
||||
memo and make other people operators as well. A "ban" is not permanent
|
||||
(like in the comic), and the program will ask if you want to reconnect
|
||||
to the memo. You kick and op people by right clicking their name in
|
||||
the window. You can also add them to your chumroll!
|
||||
|
||||
Inviting people to your memo: You can link to a memo by simply typing
|
||||
"#nameofmemo" in any conversation or memo window. So you can say:
|
||||
|
||||
CG: NOW YOU, ME, AND EGBERT NEED TO HAVE A CHAT.
|
||||
CG: CLICK IT.
|
||||
CG: #FRUITYRUMPUSASSHOLEFACTORY
|
||||
|
||||
and it will appear as a link that you can click, which will open the
|
||||
memo chooser window.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
multiple instances of PC running on two or more handles!
|
||||
|
||||
CALSPRITE
|
||||
---------
|
||||
calSprite is the bot that helps moderate canon handle usage! Simply pester
|
||||
calSprite with the world "HELP" (turn your quirks off!) and you
|
||||
will get instructions on how to use calSprite!
|
||||
|
||||
QUIRKS
|
||||
------
|
||||
There are six kinds of quirks! I'll teach you how to use them all!
|
||||
(In this section, I will use quotes ("") around things so it's clearer
|
||||
to see exactly what to type! Don't include these quotes when using
|
||||
these examples!
|
||||
|
||||
Also, note that your quirks will not work until you save them by
|
||||
hitting "OK" on the Quirk window.
|
||||
|
||||
Prefix/Suffix: This will put text before or after everything you
|
||||
say. So for example, we can use prefixes to emulate part of Nepeta or
|
||||
Equius' quirks:
|
||||
|
||||
PREFIX: ":33 < "
|
||||
You type: "*ac twitches her friendly whiskers at ct*"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AC: :33 < *ac twitches her friendly whiskers at ct*
|
||||
|
||||
PREFIX: "D --> "
|
||||
You type: "Hi"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> Hi
|
||||
|
||||
Suffixes work the same way, but at the end of the message:
|
||||
SUFFIX: "!!!"
|
||||
You type: hey there
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: hey there!!!
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that it doesn't automatically add a space! You'll need to add
|
||||
it in (see CT and AC examples again!)
|
||||
|
||||
Simple Replace:
|
||||
This will simply take a set of characters and replace them with other
|
||||
characters. Let's add a quirk to our Nepeta:
|
||||
|
||||
Replace: "ee" With: "33"
|
||||
You type: "*ac saunters from her dark cave a little bit sleepy from
|
||||
the recent kill*"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AC: :33 < *ac saunters from her dark cave a little bit sl33py from the
|
||||
recent kill*
|
||||
|
||||
Let's add two to Equius:
|
||||
Replace: "loo" With: "100"
|
||||
Replace: "x" With "%"
|
||||
You type: "look"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> 100k
|
||||
You type: "What are you expecting to accomplish with this"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
CT: D --> What are you e%pecting to accomplish with this
|
||||
|
||||
Aradia:
|
||||
Replace: "o" With: "0"
|
||||
You type: "and the reward would be within our reach"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
AA: and the reward w0uld be within 0ur reach
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that it is CASE SENSITIVE. So in the above case, if you typed
|
||||
"ABSCOND", it would not replace the "O".
|
||||
|
||||
Sollux:
|
||||
Replace: "i" With: "ii"
|
||||
Replace: "s" With: "2"
|
||||
|
||||
Eridan:
|
||||
Replace: "v" With: "vv"
|
||||
Replace: "w" With: "ww"
|
||||
|
||||
Feferi:
|
||||
Replace: "h" with: ")("
|
||||
Replace: "H" with: ")("
|
||||
Replace: "E" with: "-E"
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp Replace:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a more complex kind of replacement. Regexp stands for "regular
|
||||
expression", a kind of programming language (yes, it is a language)
|
||||
used to find and replace text. PC 3.14 also includes a function to
|
||||
handle capitalization (upper()). If you want to learn it on your own,
|
||||
I suggest you start with the Python tutorial
|
||||
(http://docs.python.org/howto/regex.html) since PC 3.14 uses Python's
|
||||
regexps. Check out V2.5's tutorial too, as that is a pretty good start
|
||||
as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start with Karkat. Regexps are just like your every day find and
|
||||
replace: they search for a string that matches what you want to
|
||||
replace, and replaces it with... the replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "upper(\1)"
|
||||
|
||||
Three concepts here. Let's look at the regexp. "(.)" has two things
|
||||
going on. The first is that ".". In regexp speak, "." is the wildcard:
|
||||
it will match *any* character -- and just one.
|
||||
|
||||
The parentheses tell the regexp to *save* what's inside them so you
|
||||
can put it back when you replace. That's what the "\1" is for -- it
|
||||
means, "put the match inside parentheses #1 here". You can have any
|
||||
number of parentheses.
|
||||
|
||||
"upper()" is a function special to PC 3.14 -- it will uppercase
|
||||
anything inside the parentheses. So in this case, upper will uppercase
|
||||
"\1" -- which, as you recall is what we found inside the
|
||||
parentheses. Which was *every* character. So to sum up, it replaces
|
||||
every character with an uppercase version of that character. WHICH
|
||||
MAKES YOU TALK LIKE THIS.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at Terezi next.
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "[aA]" Replace with: "4"
|
||||
Regexp: "[iI]" Replace with: "1"
|
||||
Regexp: "[eE]" Replace with: "3"
|
||||
Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "upper(\1)"
|
||||
|
||||
We already know what the last line does. But what's up with those
|
||||
brackets? What's their deal? Basically, in regular expressions,
|
||||
brackets indicate a list of matching characters. So, basically any
|
||||
single character within the brackets will be matched. In this case,
|
||||
either "a" or "A" will be matched and replaced with "4," and likewise,
|
||||
"i" and "I" will be replaced with "1", and "e" and "E" will be
|
||||
replaced with "3."
|
||||
|
||||
Just like there is an "upper()" function, there is also a "lower()"
|
||||
function. It acts just like "upper()" but instead makes everything
|
||||
inside the parentheses lowercase. This allows you to do things like:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "(.)" Replace with: "lower(\1)"
|
||||
You type: "I AM YELLING"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: i am yelling
|
||||
|
||||
Along with the upper and lower functions is a "scramble()" function.
|
||||
The purpose of this function is to randomly scramble anything inside
|
||||
the parentheses.
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "(\w)(\w*)(\w)" Replace with: "\1scramble(\2)\3"
|
||||
You type: "hello there"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: hlelo trhee
|
||||
|
||||
This particular regular expression scrambles all of the letters in
|
||||
the middle of a word. Notice that the "h" and "o" at the beginning
|
||||
and end of hello remain in place while the other letters are scrambled.
|
||||
|
||||
You should also know that "^" is a special character in brackets. If
|
||||
placed immediately after the opening bracket (like "[^"), then the
|
||||
brackets instead match every character *except* the ones in the
|
||||
brackets. So, for example, if you wanted to have a quirk where you
|
||||
capitalized all your letters *except* o, you'd do this:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "([^o])" Replace with: "upper(\1)"
|
||||
You type: "hello there"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: HELLo THERE
|
||||
|
||||
You can also specify a *range* of characters inside the brackets, by
|
||||
using the "-" character. [a-z] will match any lowercase letter. You
|
||||
can combine them, too: [a-z0-9] will match any digit and lowercase letter.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also different shortcuts for character types:
|
||||
|
||||
\d matches any digit; same as [0-9]
|
||||
\D matches any non-digit; same as [^0-9]
|
||||
\s matches any spaces
|
||||
\S matches any non-space
|
||||
\w matches any alphanumeric character; same as [a-zA-Z0-9_]
|
||||
\W matches any non-alphanumeric character; same as [^a-zA-Z0-9_]
|
||||
|
||||
You can include this inside brackets, too.
|
||||
|
||||
There's also a special character, \b. What \b does is make sure that
|
||||
you are at the beginning or end of a word. So with that knowledge,
|
||||
let's try Kanaya:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: \b(\w) Replace with: upper(\1)
|
||||
You type: "i suggest you come to terms with it"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GA: I Suggest You Come To Terms With It
|
||||
|
||||
Another feature of regular expressions is the ability to match
|
||||
*repeated* characters. There are three repeat characters: the "*", the
|
||||
"+", "?", and "{m,n}". They work by playing them after the character,
|
||||
or character type you want to match. (So, you could say "\s+" or ".*")
|
||||
|
||||
The "*" character matches ZERO or more of that character. So, for
|
||||
example, "f*" would match "f" and "ff" -- and any other character!
|
||||
That's right, every character counts as matching it zero times. Yeah,
|
||||
it's weird. I suggest you use...
|
||||
|
||||
The "+" character matches ONE or more of that character. So, if we
|
||||
wanted to have a character that wanted to elongate their s's so that
|
||||
they used four 's's every time, like sssso, but didn't want to have
|
||||
eight s's when using words with double s's, like pass, we'd do this:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "s+" Replace with: "ssss"
|
||||
You type: "you shall not pass"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
UU: you sssshall not passss
|
||||
|
||||
As for the other two, I can't really think of any useful quirks to be
|
||||
made with them. But to let you know, "?" matches either 0 or 1 of that
|
||||
character, so "trolls?" would match "troll" and "trolls". "{m,n}"
|
||||
matches between m and n characters. (If you leave out 'n', any number
|
||||
of characters more than m will be matched.) So "s{2,4}" will match
|
||||
"ss", "sss", and "ssss" and that's it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now with repeating expressions, we can do something like make EVERY
|
||||
other WORD capitalized:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "(\w+) (\w+)" Replace with: "upper(\1) \2"
|
||||
You type: "this is pretty annoying i bet"
|
||||
Result:
|
||||
GD: THIS is PRETTY annoying I bet
|
||||
|
||||
The \1 matches the first word -- which has been matched because the
|
||||
word is alphanumeric characters, repeated once or more -- and \2
|
||||
matches the second word.
|
||||
|
||||
Another operator to use is the "|", which will match more than one set
|
||||
of characters. For example, "black|red" will match "black" or
|
||||
"red". If you want to match something in the middle of words, you have
|
||||
to use parentheses: "(black|red) romance" will match "black romance"
|
||||
and "red romance".
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, there are the "^" and "$" characters. Yes, we already did the
|
||||
"^" character, but this is OUTSIDE of brackets, not INSIDE. "^"
|
||||
matches the beginning of a message, and "$" matches the end of it. You
|
||||
can use this to make more sophisticated prefix and suffix
|
||||
behaviors. For example, if we have a quirk that adds "..." to the end
|
||||
of all our messages, we can set it up so it doesn't do that if we put
|
||||
punctuation [?!.] at the end. So:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "([^?!.])$" Replace with: "\1..."
|
||||
|
||||
This will match the end of any message as long as it doesn't have
|
||||
"?", "!", or "." at the end. Then it will replace it with whatever the
|
||||
last character of the sentence was (remember we're replacing it, so we
|
||||
have to put it back!) and add "..." at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
Careful with the beginning and ending replaces -- if you use more than
|
||||
one, you may not get what you expect because they will ALL be applied,
|
||||
one after the other! This is a bug in my opinion, that I plan to fix!
|
||||
|
||||
Random replace:
|
||||
|
||||
Just like the regexp replace, except that instead of just one thing to
|
||||
replace it with, you give it a list. PC will then choose from that
|
||||
list randomly. So let's say I want to randomly end my sentences with
|
||||
either "bro" or "dog":
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "$" Replace with: "bro" and "dog"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also imitate Araida's random "ribbits" in between words:
|
||||
|
||||
Regexp: "\s" Replace with: " ribbit ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", etc....
|
||||
|
||||
where " " is just a blank space added a bunch of times. (You can see
|
||||
how many blank spaces you've added by clicking on the list.) You have
|
||||
to add the spaces because each entry has the same chance of being
|
||||
selected. (Yes, I know this could be improved.) If you add " ribbit "
|
||||
and 9 spaces, " ribbit " will have a 1/10 chance of being picked.
|
||||
|
||||
Also note that if you add more than one prefix or more than one
|
||||
suffix, it will pick randomly from them instead of adding them both!
|
||||
|
||||
Mispeller:
|
||||
|
||||
Be careful with thsi one. The mispeller will randomly mispell x% of
|
||||
the words you type -- where x is the percentage you set the slider
|
||||
to. I have attempted to mimic SBaHJ mispelling style but whoof knows
|
||||
what will happen oh god ive created a mosnter
