WeeChat scripts by FiXato

---

My personal repository of scripts for the WeeChat chat client, www.weechat.org

Scripts I've written to add features to WeeChat I felt were missing.

Discontinuation notice

As I lack the time to actively chat on IRC, let alone develop these scripts, this repository is no longer actively maintained, and thus will be archived.

Overview

• clone_scanner.py

  A Clone Scanner that can manually scan channels and automatically scans joins for users on the channel with multiple nicknames from the same host.

• listbuffer.py (for now still developed in its own repository)

  Show /list results in a common buffer and interact with them.

• buffer_swap.py

  Swap two buffers' positions. A feature requested by Kakazza in #weechat. /swap [buffer] <buffer to swap with>

  Example: /swap #weechat #weechat-fr

• battlearena.py

  Work in Progress script to make playing Battle Arena easier to play /battlearena use [tabcomplete techs] [tabcomplete enemies] /battlearena stats buy [tabcomplete stats] 10 /battlearena +100str /battlearena +10def /battlearena styles [buy|list|change] [tabcomplete styles] /battlearena report

Script ideas

• Task https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/index.php?11351 "Allow buffer names for irc.msgbuffer"

  (Custom (s)notices buffer)

• buffer_stats:

  Output stats about the number of different buffers. Something like:

    Total of 55 buffers: 1 core, 6 server buffers, 43 channel buffers, 
    3 queries, 2 plugin buffers; 10 of them are merged.
  

• advanced highlights manager:

  Assign target buffers & colours to highlights. Dynamically create target buffer if necessary

  Example: /highlight add /(lol|nyan-?)cat/ nyancats

  When the highlight would get triggered, it will create a new buffer, python.nyancats, —should the buffer not already exist— and display the message (+source buffer) in it.

Notes on Patches/Pull Requests

---

1. Fork the project.
2. Make your feature addition or bug fix.
3. Add tests for it (even though I don't have tests myself at the moment). This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
4. Commit, but do not mess with gemspec, version, history, or README. Want to have your own version? Bump version in a separate commit! That way I can ignore that commit when I pull.
5. Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
6. You'll be added to the credits.

Acknowledgements

Thanks go out to:

• Sebastien "Flashcode" Helleu, for developing the kick-ass IRC client WeeChat and the iset.pl script which inspired me to write listbuffer.py.
• Nils "nils_2" Görs, for his contributions to iset.pl which served as example code for listbuffer.py.
• David "drubin" Rubin, for his urlgrab.py script, which also served as example code for listbuffer.py.
• ArZa, whose listsort.pl script helped me getting started with grabbing the /list results for listbuffer.py and whose kickban.pl script served as an example for handling infolists for clone_scanner.py.
• Khaled Mardam-Bey, for making me yearn for similar /list support in WeeChat as mIRC already offered. :P
• LayBot, for requesting the ident comparison for clone_scanner.py
• Curtis "killerrabbit" Sorensen, for sending in two pull-requests, adding support for local and nameless channels to clone_scanner.py
• mave_, for pointing out that sort orders weren't remembered in listbuffer.py.
