quassel-irssi

An irssi plugin to connect to quassel core

You can discuss about it on #quassel-irssi on Freenode.

Huge thanks to QuasselDroid. QuasselDroid protocol code is way easier to read than Quassel's.

How to build

First install irssi-dev (on debian-based distributions) or irssi-devel (on rpm distributions), everything needed to compile C code, based on glib2 and git. Then:

git clone https://github.com/phhusson/quassel-irssi.git
cd quassel-irssi
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd core
make
cp libquassel_core.so ~/.irssi/modules/

How to use

Edit ~/.irssi/config and add a quassel chatnet with Quassel type, and your quassel server accordingly:

chatnets = {
  quassel_phh = {
    type = "Quassel";
  };
};

servers = (
  { address = "quassel.phh.me"; port = "4242"; chatnet = "quassel_phh"; password="password"; use_ssl="yes"; }
);

You may disable ssl if you really need to.

You also need to have your login equal to your nick:

settings = {
  core = { nick = "phh"; };
}

(I'm guessing it's not needed, you can specifiy it on /connect command)

Then, launch irssi, and do:

/load quassel
/connect quassel_phh

(where quassel_phh is the chatnet name)

To automtically connect to it, you can add:

load quassel
connect quassel_phh

in your ~/.irssi/startup

If someone knows how to do all this 100% from irssi text frontend, i'd appreciate it :-)

Associated scripts

• trackbar.pl: quassel-irssi implements trackar.pl behaviours, but linked with the core: the trackbar is synchronized among quassel clients.

• adv_windowlist.pl hidden buffers have -1 activity level. adv_windowlist.pl compares activity level to awl_hide_data, which by default is set to 0. Meaning, adv_windowlist.pl, in its default setting, will only show unhidden buffers.

Phh's config

I'm using the following scripts:

• adv_windowlist.pl List "open" buffers

• go.pl I have many opened buffers, so i do /go chan when i don't have a shortcut to a buffer. Because the channel names in irssi start with X-# where X is the number of network, i deleted the ^ line 104, to be able to just do /go quassel-irssi

• nickcolor.pl

• usercount.pl

If you're using screen, you may want to add nicklist.pl.
