Pesterchum-Discord

A Discord client mimicking the Pesterchum chat client from Homestuck, Uses a lot of code from my Pesterchum Client

If you have any questions either contact me the github or add me at Henry#6174 on Discord.

This app is NOT an all-in-one client! It is meant to enhance RP and anything else you wish to do with it, however it is recommended you still use regular Discord for technical functions.

Install

The release download is distributed as a .zip file. Unzip the file and inside will be a file called pesterchum.exe If there is an update, updater.exe will launch in a console. It doesn't install anywhere, its fairly portable. It is not yet for OSX/Linux, contact me if anyone is interested in supporting it.

If you are running an older version and would like to update (> v1.0.6) you can enable the auto updater by going into your cfg/options.json and changing the value "auto_update": false to "auto_update": true

Updating

Auto updating by default is disabled, but can be enabled in settings, if you would rather manually install the new update, copy and replace the following files and folders into the old installation discord, pesterchum.exe, updater.exe, python3.6.zip, python3.6.dll, asyncio, pywintypes36.dll If there are new themes or quirks, copy the relevant files / folders into the pyquirks folder and the themes folder

Tokens

The Discord API has officially deprecated user logins, (email / password) best choice is to use tokens. All accounts have tokens, to find yours:

  1. Open Discord
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+i
  3. Click "Application" tab
  4. Expand Storage > Local Storage > https://discordapp.com
  5. Find "token" under "key"
  6. Copy the text in quotes on the same row

Starting soon (not yet) the app will ONLY accept tokens, however once tokens are mandatory, we will also get some cool new functionality.

Quirks

Pesterchum-Discord lets you do custom quirks using Regex! (Regular Expression) for help on quirks (they work identically) check out illuminatedWax's quirk info on the original Pesterchum. Misspeller has not yet been added

Add custom quirk commands by going to the pyquirks folder and removing quirk_funcs.pyc and replacing it with your own quirk_funcs.py (if you want parts from the original just grab the source)

Bugs

Please report all bugs in the issues. If the application is not starting or crashes on startup, try starting it again, if that fails, delete cfg/auth, cfg/config.json, cfg/options.json (and if else fails try removing quirks.json too)

Themes

While I've made every theme available so far, they're easy (ish) for anyone to make. If you'd like me to add a theme, just send a pull request or message me. If you want to make a theme, best chance is to reverse engineer the already available (in the source) .ui files of an existing theme. <br /><br /> All themes have several main parts:

theme.json
{
 "name": "Pesterchum",
 "ui_path": "ui",
 "inherits": "Pesterchum 2.5",
 "css": "pesterchum.css"
}

This file is found in the theme folder. Name the folder whatever you'd like, that doesn't matter, for example this is in the themes/Pesterchum folder. In your folder there are several things.

The theme.json will designate four things, like mentioned above

Make sure all relative paths do not start with a /

Another note, in order to designate the associated mood with the button, the mood button must be checkable and called moodButton# where # is a number between 0 and 22 designating to the position in this list minus 1

["chummy", "rancorous", "offline", "pleasant", "distraught",
"pranky", "smooth", "ecstatic", "relaxed", "discontent",
"devious", "sleek", "detestful", "mirthful", "manipulative",
"vigorous", "perky", "acceptant", "protective", "mystified",
"amazed", "insolent", "bemused"]

For example moodButton0 would be the button for "Chummy" or moodButton2 would reference Offline / Abscond. The text on the button will remain and does not matter.
