I installed TabbyChat today and it's working great apart from one problem.
After about 15 minutes suddenly I find that pressing "o" instead of Ctrl-o brings up the TabbyChat options
when I'm in chat mode. After that, I can't type the letter "o" at all without bringing up the options box so
it's almost impossible to type anything. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm on a Mac OS-X 10.9.2.
I've experienced very similar issues to this on Linux myself, although not on Windows. I believe the source is LWJGL. I know the same issue with OSX has been reported here several times. I'm not sure there's been a fix or workaround nailed down, but with some monkeying around, you should be able to get it to go away whenever it crops up.
Basically, what happens for me is this - on Linux (Ubuntu specifically), when I use keys to execute special desktop shortcuts (e.g. Alt+Tab to switch windows, or Ctrl+Alt+Down to switch desktops), sometimes LWJGL and therefore Minecraft get hung up on those keys being held down when the window becomes active, and never realizes that I let it go. When this happens with Alt+Tab, usually I'll just Alt+Tab to some other window and then click on the Minecraft window to re-focus it. Then, usually my keys are "un-stuck".
It's just something you have to play around with, I'm afraid. The older version of LWJGL that Minecraft used to use tended to get the up/down keys stuck during gameplay, so at least that bug has been resolved
I'm not sure you need the escape in front of the bracket character, as I believe the regex engine will be smart enough to know the bracket doesn't have special meaning here since there's no opening bracket. However, if you wanted to include one to be safe, I believe you'd need to use a backslash to escape the bracket, and that appears to be a forward slash used in your post.
Setting tab to player name I'd be unsure of. That's related to dynamic tab naming which I've never played about with (although I should). I think for creating PMs which are to someone, set your filter to this:
(From|To) (.+-?!?).+: .+
BAI1
I'm going to assume that all your PMs look like
From <Player>-SirWilli:
and
To <Player>-SirWilli:
although an example of a "To" message may help to confirm. You could honestly just use the filter that BAI1 provided with the tab name specified as "%2" (for the name to come from second capturing group, as the From/To is the first) with the only downside being that the dash would be included in the tab name. My suggestion would be the following:
I don't get new tabs for PM's on a server using commandbook. The format is
(From Brottweiler): message
(To Brottweiler): message
Can't figure out how to make it so that it creates new tabs for it either if I add it as a filter.
Those also do not match the built-in supported formats. I'd suggest a new filter with the following expression:
^\((From|To) (\w+)\)
then, if you send those matches to a tab named "%2" (w/o quotes), I believe all your PMs should go to their own tab created with the name of the player you're chatting with.
this is my private chat format
But tabbychat creates no new tab, any idea why?
That private chat format is not supported by TabbyChat by default as described here. You'll probably need to make yourself some filters to catch PMs in that style.
Yeah, I'm aware... my VPS provider seems to be having issues today, it's been up/down a few times. I'm sure they're aware and working on it, but I'll submit a ticket in the hopes that I can get some information on the issues and timeline.
Edit: You can find the standalone version for 1.6.4 over at PMC, if that's any help.
The latest version for 1.6.4 doesn't appear to be loading at all for me.. It is in my mods folder and shows up in the forge log but doesn't seem to actually load.. in game I just have the basic chat..
Sounds like you're trying to load via Forge... there is no forge-compatible version of TabbyChat for 1.6.4 due to lack of updates to ModLoader (Risugami's). MagicLauncher can load the Standalone version simply enough, otherwise I'd suggest installing LiteLoader alongside Forge and using that version for simplicity.
Hello. I love this mod, and it has been a welcome addition to our server!
Just want to point out, though, that all of your adfly links seem to be down, as they dump me to an NGINX error page saying "The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.". I'm specifically trying to download the 1.6.2 standalone/forge/modloader version.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm sure this gets annoying when people ask, but I'm wondering if there's any ETA on a 1.7.2 release. A server that I moderate just started using the Spigot 1.7 compatibility thing and I can no longer connect with my 1.6.4 client. I need this modification to run my death-detection filter when I'm hosting/moderating the Hunger Games. I don't mean to be pushy, I'd just like to know if there's an estimated release date and, if so, when that is. Thank you for all the work you've put into this mod. It has proven very helpful and I hate not having it in my client.
Believe it or not, I really haven't received many inquiries as to when a 1.7.2 release will be ready, not that I'm complaining. Regardless, I appreciate how polite your request was, so I felt it deserved a response. Unfortunately, my real-life schedule and obligations haven't left me much time for any TabbyChat development for a little while now, but I haven't given up. Apart from that, I'm still waiting on an updated version of MCP.
So I'm afraid I don't have an ETA for you, but it will certainly have to wait for MCP to be updated.
Wait. You too? I thought it was NoCheatPlus on the server I go to. But yeah, I get this as well. The Admins tried to fix it, but occasionally it still happens.
This bug should occur for a chat message that is 99-characters long. It has already been fixed in the development version, and therefore should be resolved in the next release.
Do you have any alternatives to suggest? I was thinking about
\s([rR]ixa|[rR]ixu|[rR]iksa) or ([rR]ixa(?!:|\|)|[rR]ixu|[rR]iksu)
but the first alternative has some potential flaws and the second one highlights unnecessary things

Edit:After some playing around I think I'd be able to do it like this

Well, you certainly seem to know your way around a RegEx. I'm having a little trouble following your example feed, it seems like the paste must've stripped out the line breaks. Also, I'm not entirely sure specifically what you're looking to accomplish. Do you think you could attempt to lay out your request in some more detail? I'd certainly be willing to help.
In the meantime, I can venture a few suggestions based on the expressions you've put forward so far. I'm sure they won't fix any problems, but they may help with readability perhaps.
Firstly, while typical Java RegEx's are case-sensitive by default, TabbyChat's expressions are actually case INSENSITIVE by default, primarily to make things a bit easier for users who are new to regular expressions. (Of course, you may have the case-sensitive option enabled for all I know. If not, you can do away with the [rR] sequences, as TabbyChat would already be ignoring case sensitivity.
Next, at the risk of some false positives (which I'd be willing to wager you'd never see), you could probably combine your previous expression
[rR]ixa|[rR]iksa|[rR]ixu
into
ri(x|ks)[au]
or even consider catching 'mr_rixa' as well with
(mr_)?ri(x|ks)[au]
One last point of info - when checking for special characters, it can be a little easier to use character classes (i.e. [a-z]), since INSIDE a character class, a lot less characters have special meaning, so you don't need to use backslash-escapes nearly as much. In fact, inside a character class, only the
^-]\
characters have any special meaning - no others need to be escaped. For a specific example, I believe you could replace your usage of
(?!:|\|)
which should mean 'not followed by a colon or a pipe' with
(?![:|])
since you don't need to escape the pipe-character in a character class. That's pretty much a matter of personal preference, but IMO backslash escapes just make things harder to read, and I prefer to avoid using them if there's another way.
I cannot get this to work in 1.6.4 No matter what I do, I followed the instructions several times, and did exactly what it said, but it will not work, ive been trying to get it to work for 3 1/2 hours now please help
If you want my opinion, the easiest way to install TabbyChat is to use LiteLoader. It comes with a simple install wizard that will setup the a new profile for you, can work just fine alongside Forge, and then you can just grab the LiteLoader-version of TabbyChat and drop it in the "mods" folder.
Can i create a default perfil for all servers or nicks?
There is .chanData.ser for each server and nick, and is pretty boring have to copy all time i change server or one of my two nicks.
Otherwise, i really love this mod.
Thank you!
I'm not sure specifically what you really want in that default, although you obviously mention the chanData file, which could be a bit tricky. There settings are basically all located in one of three different places. There's the global (and advanced) settings, which already apply globally, so that's already taken care of. Then there's the server and filter settings, which are server specific. I do like the idea of making it possible to put a 'global' version of these in a 'default' folder or something for new servers.
The chanData.ser file is the third option, which holds two types of data - all the currently-defined tabs and their individual settings, and also the chat history for each tab. I could see how you'd want a default set of pre-configured tabs, but I would imagine you DON'T want to pull in a default chat history all the time also. Perhaps I could setup a text command for TabbyChat to dump out the currently-configured tabs, absent of chat history, into a default folder or something.
If this is pretty much what you're thinking, then I like the idea enough, but I'm not sure exactly when I'll get to it.

No, that's intended functionality. The only time capturing groups come into play is for dynamic tab naming.
