Implement file transfer feature 
This will add separate "tfer" buffer with all necessary controls for
managing files and /send command to start transfer, which you can use
either from profile buffer or from private messages buffer; in case of
incoming files the buffer will be created as well if doesn't exist yet.
Every callbacks were defined according to the specification and this
implementation is fully corresponding to the documented behavior including
streams.

Tox-WeeChat

Tox-WeeChat is a Tox protocol plugin for WeeChat. 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.

Build Status

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 2.1 and TokTok c-toxcore 0.2.1. 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).
