Tox-WeeChat
===========
Tox-WeeChat is a [Tox][1] protocol plugin for [WeeChat][2]. It is functional, but lacks certain features like Tox DNS.
Current build status: [][3]
Installation
------------
> Tox-WeeChat is available in the [AUR][4].
Tox-WeeChat requires [WeeChat][1] >= 1.0.1, [SQLite][5] >= 3.6.19 and the latest-ish [libtoxcore][6]. It also requires CMake to be built. Installation is fairly simple; after getting the source, compile and install using CMake:
$ mkdir build & & cd build
$ cmake -DHOME_FOLDER_INSTALL=ON ..
$ make install
This installs the plugin binary `tox.so` to the recommended location `~/.weechat/plugins` . Without the home folder flag, the binary is placed in `/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins` . Installing to a custom WeeChat folder or elsewhere is achieved by setting `INSTALL_PATH` .
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.
- Create a new profile with `/tox create <name>` . The data file is stored in `~/.weechat/tox/` by default.
- Load your profile and connect to the Tox network with `/tox load <name>` .
- Change your name with `/name <new name>` .
- Get your Tox ID with `/myid` .
- To add friends or respond to friend requests, `/help friend` will get you started.
- Message a friend with `/msg <friend number>` . Get their friend number with `/friend list` .
Run `/help -listfull tox` to get a list of all available commands.
### 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)
TODO
----
- Tox DNS
- Encrypted save files
- WeeChat's `/upgrade`
- Audio/video chats
