# Tox-WeeChat
Tox-WeeChat is a [Tox][1] protocol plugin for [WeeChat][2]. It is functional,
but lacks certain features that might be expected of a full-fledged Tox client.

Tox-WeeChat is compliant with all "Required" points in the [Tox Client
Standard][3].

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/haavard/tox-weechat.svg?branch=master)][4]

## Features
 - One-to-one chats
 - Group chats (text only)
 - Proxy support
 - Multiple profiles
 - Encrypted save files
 - File transfer

## Installation
Tox-WeeChat is tested with [WeeChat][2] 2.3 and [TokTok c-toxcore][5] 0.2.8.
It also requires CMake 2.8.12 or newer to be built. Installation is fairly
simple; after getting the source code, compile and install with CMake:

    $ mkdir build && cd build
    $ cmake -DPLUGIN_PATH=~/.weechat/plugins ..
    $ make install

This installs the plugin binary `tox.so` to the recommended location
`~/.weechat/plugins`. The default location is `/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins`.

## Usage
 - If the plugin does not load automatically, load it with `/plugin load tox`.
   You may have to specify the full path to the plugin binary if you installed
   it to a non-standard location.
 - Create a new profile with `/tox create <profile name>`. The data file is
   stored in `~/.weechat/tox/` by default.
 - Load your profile and connect to the Tox network with
   `/tox load <profile name>`.
 - Run `/help -listfull tox` to get a list of all available commands, and
   `/set tox.*` for a list of options.

### Common issues
#### Long Tox names messing up WeeChat layout
Tox allows names up to 128 bytes long. To prevent long names from taking all
your screen space, you can set the following options in WeeChat:
 - `weechat.bar.nicklist.size_max`
 - `weechat.look.prefix_align_max`
 - `buffers.look.name_size_max` (if using buffers.pl)

#### Tox won't connect through my proxy
Make sure the proxy type, address and port is correct, and that UDP is
disabled (`/set tox.profile.*.udp`).
