It looks like a great project, will it support android devices or maybe ipads too ?

I think yes :

That's tmwChat

Hi, if possible, could you explain I bit better how I could possibly install this on arch linux, pretty please ?

Can someone help me? I am on windows and don't know anything about this program or emacs, all I want to do is install it and use it for my shop. I can't seem to find a tutorial, or anyone knowledgeable on emacs for windows. can someone give me a simple step by step guide on how to connect ManaChat and Emacs? I have them both installed, and Snarl which I don't think I need or want. I just want to run my shop when im offline and check my characters when I get back. Emacs 24.5 Thanks for the help! <3

You don't need Emacs for ManaChat, the client that uses Emacs-lisp is tmwchat. For ManaChat you need is python 2.7 (and python-construct, and ncurses). Not sure if ncurses is available for Windows, but I know ManaChat also has a Kivy GUI (which may run on Windows)

• Shop command !invlist to show all items in shop inventory.
• Shop admins now can retrieve any item from shop.
• Command /where to show current location.
• Command /goto <x> <y> to walk!
• Other small bug fixes and improvements.

I made a video tutorial for Windows users about setting up TMWChat. The ending is a bit sloppy, I had to cut it, 'cos I accidently "flashed" my password https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkF7XXOv-ew

I Get to the part of this video where he launches the Run.bat, and when I do the same it opens for a second then closes unlike his. I am on windows 7 ultimate, Please help!!! I would love to use this program.

Can you tell me if there is a simple way to have my shop sell stuff when I am not at home? that is all I am trying to achieve.

Can someone tell me how to log in?

This is what I get when I type
M-x tmwchat

it then wants a password, and i dont know the format of which to type my info.

"Unregistered ID".. that's pretty much self-explanatory. You need to configure tmwchat with the right username and password

Code: Select all

M-x customize-group tmwchat

where is this done?

That place where it says M-x
Also, please refrain from making multiple posts in a row; you can use the "edit" function

No I mean where I put my character log in info... anything I put it in and save doesnt seem to work. okay i wont spampost thanks for the tip

@redletuce you should try to understand how emacs works, maybe it'll make things clearer

Hiya, sorry for late response.

Lately I'm not working on TMWChat, I'm mostly concentrated on ManaChat, which will have all features of the first, and much more. It's a fully functional chat client (still some bugs to be fixed), it has shop plugin (unfinished), lazytree plugin (unfinished), guildbot plugin (unfinished), battlebot plugin (forbidden!), notifications, writing chat logs to files, plugin to interact with npcs (early stage), and I have millions of plans to extend it.

I will release an update to TMWchat that fixes the "duplicate nicknames" issue, but it's unlikely I will keep adding new features. About problems setting it up, you need to google how to use Emacs, because it's a whole new world, and I had lots of fun creating TMWchat and learning.

Stay tuned.

To be as stupid proof as possible.

you install emacs: download and unpack tmwchat somewhere
https://bitbucket.org/rumly111/tmwchat/downloads

in ~/.emacs.d/init.el
(you create it, if it doesn't exist)
you put the bellow code with the correct parameters.
for options
use this command "emacs -f customize-group" , then immediately type "tmwchat".
Or, in normal emacs "alt-x" then "customize-group" and then "tmwchat".

then you run it with: If you want the terminal version, you run: (to quit this version [Ctrl-x, Ctrl-c])

I'm giving you an update on ManaChat (https://bitbucket.org/rumly111/manachat). A lot of work was done, the shop mode plugin is finished, manaboy is up and running. Polishing the code, fixing bugs. The latest version 0.7 I claim to be usable.
I run 3 bots on a computer, and each consumes only 12Mb RAM (compared to 50Mb of TMWchat). I migrated Hollywood Shop to the new client. _IRC_ bot is based on ManaChat code, which is also cool. For those who want to use only shop mode, you can set up the items and prices in manaplus, and copy "shoplist.txt" file to ManaChat. But it's also good as chat client for TMW, providing both console and graphical user interfaces.
