| 1 | Cognet++ is a series of improvements made to Cognet including:
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | - Smiley support. /emoticons off|on to toggle.
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | - Leigh Klotz's auto reconnect
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | - On reconnect, show the window you were talking on rather than %server
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | - if a new window is created while your in the app, it will display
|
|---|
| 10 | a bubble notification
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | - new messages in any window are indicated by a cog icon in the space
|
|---|
| 13 | where the email notification goes
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | - a new command /marquee <seconds> will allow you to set a window to
|
|---|
| 16 | display a marquee when your not in the application. The seconds paramenter
|
|---|
| 17 | indicates the limit on how often a marquee is displayed. for example /marquee
|
|---|
| 18 | 30 will only display 1 marquee every 30 seconds. Messages in between will be
|
|---|
| 19 | dropped. /marquee 0 will disable marquees.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | - font support. see http://developer.danger.com/wiki/space/fonts for a list
|
|---|
| 22 | of fonts. /font <fontname> is the command.
|

| 33 | ------------------------
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | This application is a front-end for a irc proxy server called cognetd.
|
|---|
| 36 | The server handles virtually all of the logic and all the client knows
|
|---|
| 37 | about is how to display messages in windows and send user commands to
|
|---|
| 38 | the server.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | The server caches all messages even if the client is not connected.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | The following commands are understood by the client:
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | /query <name> creates a new window named <name> and shows it
|
|---|
| 45 | /win <name> switch to window <name> if it exists
|
|---|
| 46 | /zap log out of the server
|
|---|
| 47 | /bind <number> binds a quickkey (0-9) to this window
|
|---|
| 48 | /clear erases the contents of the current window
|
|---|
| 49 | (on the server as well as the client)
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | Any other commands are sent to the server for processing.
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | The application menu lists all active windows (windows with
|
|---|
| 54 | messages that have arrived since you were there last are marked
|
|---|
| 55 | with an arrow glyph). There are a few handy shortcuts not shown
|
|---|
| 56 | in the menu (for space reasons):
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | MENU-n cycle to the next window
|
|---|
| 59 | MENU-p cycle to the previous window
|
|---|
| 60 | MENU-, jump to a window with new messages
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | Currently, server messages show up in the special "%server" window
|
|---|
| 63 | (which you can never delete). Modules running on the server create
|
|---|
| 64 | windows of their own.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | Flags to the side of the display indicate traffic in other windows.
|
|---|
| 67 | Indicators like "[3]" mean that there is a new message in a window bound
|
|---|
| 68 | to the number in the brackets. A "[?]" indicator means that there are
|
|---|
| 69 | new messages in some unbound window (check the menu for details).
|

|
|---|
| 71 | Protocol Details
|
|---|
| 72 | ----------------
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | client protocol, server->client:
|
|---|
| 75 | <serial>:<tag>:<source>:<target>:<text>
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | The first field (serial number) may be omitted or ignored. It allows
|
|---|
| 78 | for resynchronization, so the client should keep track of the last
|
|---|
| 79 | serial number it has seen for when it reconnects
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | #:dmsg:nick:#channel:text # display message in target window
|
|---|
| 82 | #:smsg:nick:yournick:text # display message in source window
|
|---|
| 83 | #:dmsg:yournick:nick:text # display message in target window
|
|---|
| 84 | #:dmsg/act:nick:#channel:text # display emote'd message in target window
|
|---|
| 85 | #:clear:window: # erase all lines from window
|
|---|
| 86 | #:info:window:text # display server message
|
|---|
| 87 | #:fail:window:text # display error message
|
|---|
| 88 | #:repl:window:text # display command reply
|
|---|
| 89 | #:sync:token: # client should keep token for next serial
|
|---|
| 90 |
|
|---|
| 91 | special windows:
|
|---|
| 92 | %server -- messages from the server
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | client protocol, client->server:
|
|---|
| 95 | <serial>:<tag>:<target>:<text>
|
|---|
| 96 |
|
|---|
| 97 | :serial:serialnumber:token # indicates last serial number and token seen
|
|---|
| 98 | # (send before logging in)
|
|---|
| 99 | :auth:username:password # log in
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | In all of these, 'ctxt' is the current window the command
|
|---|
| 102 | was typed in. Lines without a leading '/' get transformed into
|
|---|
| 103 | a send command, all others lose the '/' and are split so that the
|
|---|
| 104 | text between the '/' and the first whitespace become the 'tag',
|
|---|
| 105 | the current window is the 'ctxt', and the rest of the line is the
|
|---|
| 106 | 'text'
|
|---|
