Small script to see who is online on laanx

[Aiwendil]

Thanks weltall, will include this in the next version of course. For now it shouldn't be too hard to open the script in a text editor and find the following part near the start:

Code: [Select]

# hardcoded config
CONFIGDIR = '~/.PStools'
CONFIGFILE = CONFIGDIR + '/PS-PlayerS.py.ini'
XMLINFOFILE = CONFIGDIR + '/playerinfo.xml'
PLAYERTAGCOUNT = 192
REPORTTIMECOUNT = 98
REPORTTIMEOUTMSG = 'Timeout!'
RACES = ("unknown", "Ylian", "Xacha", "Dermorian", "Nolthrir", "Stonebreaker", "Hammerwielder", "Lemur", "Kran", "Diaboli", "Enkidukai", "Klyros", "Ynnwn")

Change the "PLAYERTAGCOUNT = 171" in line 37 to "PLAYERTAGCOUNT = 192" and save. The script should display the names after this change again.

=== Update! See below. ===


=== PS PlayerS 0.03-qt3 ===

I've implemented a notification bubble to show you when your friends log in and out. I also implemented a 'Minimize to Tray' feature. You can disable the two features, if you want.

Linux	Windows

It even has an updater which retrieves the current list from the forum.


=== Mac users ===

Please install Xcode and X11 which are on the installation CDs/DVDs.
Then install MacPorts by downloading the disk image for Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger and double-clicking the pkg file that is contained in the disk images.
Please follow the instructions on the screen.

Afterwards you have to type the following two lines in the terminal:

Code: [Select]

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install py26-pyqt4

And run the PS-PlayerS-qt.py file contained in the full package.

=== Downloads ===

IMPORTANT: After you installed the program please click on Config > Update GM list to get the current list of GMs. The one shipped with the program is outdated.

And here are the downloads:

The binaries for Linux and Windows together with the source code and the documentation.	24MB	(.tar.gz)  (.zip)
The binary for Linux and the documentation.	15MB	(.tar.gz)  (.zip)
The binary for Windows and the documentation.	9,1MB	(.tar.gz)  (.zip)

Nakem, since I updated to openSUSE 11.2, your version doesn't run anymore. Aiwendil's runs fine. Qt is installed obviously, so is python-qt (if it matters). There is no console output, no stderr output either. Nothing at all happens if I try to start it. It doesn't hang either, just quits right after starting. The exit status is 0, i.e. success. Any clues what I might be doing wrong?

[Nakem]

Found the bug and fixed it....
If you downloaded it before you have to replace the PS-PlayerS-qt file with this one: http://psbuddylist.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/psbuddylist/dist/PS-PlayerS-qt
(Please right-click on the link and select "Save as...")
Otherwise the downloaded file should work.

[derula]

Works again, thanks!

Edit: By the way, is there a way to make it use a different Qt theme?

[Nakem]

There are three ways to change the theme:

• If you have KDE installed, you can set the kde theme to the theme you want.
• If you have the tool qtconfig on your command line, you can change the theme with it.
• You can add the following lines to ~/.config/Trolltech.conf:

Code: [Select]

[qt]
style=<the theme you want>


[derula]

• If you have KDE installed, you can set the kde theme to the theme you want.

I do use KDE, however the tool doesn't use KDE's theme (I use QtCurve). Instead, it uses something that looks like a native Windows (9x) theme. Maybe the bundled version of Qt is incompatible with the installed version of QtCurve? Would probably be easier (for KDE users at least) to have the modified Python script instead of the bundled binaries...

It worked just fine yesterday. Today, however, all I get is the player count and the list reads: "Friends:" Clicking refresh list have said "Please wait..." for 20 mins now. Really liked this app, please help?

@derula
From the last release post:

The source code and the documentation.   ~136KB   (.tar.gz)  (.zip)

Otherwise, feel free to browse the code and build your own executables: http://psbuddylist.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/psbuddylist/
Please read the README.txt, too!

@Koios
Which OS do you have?
If you're on Linux, please run it on the console and post what it shows.

[Koios]

*Koios slaps forehead* Knew there was something missing, sorry.
I'm on XP. It's weird, cause it's getting info. The player count vary and updates really quick, just nothing else showing than "Friends:"
*EDIT: It now shows two people in my Friends list, but more are on that aren't showing. *

@Nakem: Well I suppose I'm blind, then. Stupid me.

@Koios
Did you try downloading the program again?
Don't worry it will keep your settings.
If it doesn't help, please download this file and save this file as start.bat (be sure the extension is the same and not something like .txt) in the same directory as the first file.
Afterwards run start.bat (with a double-click). You should now see the normal Window of the PS Buddylist. Please close it again and paste the content of the log.txt file in the forum please.

[Koios]

Log .txt:
Starting PS-PlayerS.py

The cmd window after double-clicking start.bat:
Traceback <most recent call last>:
  File "<string>", line 942, in updateText
  File "<string>", line 1001, in getLastname
  File "<string>", line 426, in getInfo
IndexError: list index out of range

Those 5 lines repeats themselves if the cmd is kept open.

=== PS-PlayerS-qt 0.04-qt ===

Sorry for the trouble.  
Found the bug and fixed it. The program couldn't handle empty comments and wasn't able to create the players list.

== Workaround for version 0.03-qt3 and older ==

Go to %userprofile%\.PStools\ (on Windows) or ~/.PStools/ (on Linux) and open the playerinfo.xml
Replace all lines looking like this ...
<Character Gender="unknown" Guild="" Lastname="" Name="Whatever" Race="unknown"/>
... with this ...
<Character Gender="unknown" Guild="" Lastname="" Name="Whatever" Race="unknown">.</Character>
... and it should work with the current version.

== Download ==

In the new version there are instructions for Mac Users in the Installation chapter inside the documentation as well as for Windows and Linux.
If you run the program the first time (and don't have the configuration form an older version), it now automatically updates the GM list.

Note: The documentation is included in all packages.

The source code	~136KB	(.tar.gz)  (.zip)

It works again!  *Koios makes waffles for Nakem*
