Hi out there! This document is not up to date!
*======================================================================*
** GENERAL **
*======================================================================*
There a key binding for some actions
o ALT-q switch a global page left (eg. from library to chat)
o ALT-w switch a global page right (eg. from chat to library)
o ALT-a switch a page left in sub notebook
o ALT-s switch a page right in sub notebook
o STRG-[1-9] switch to global page no [1-9]
o ALT-[1-9] switch to chat page no [1-9]
*======================================================================*
** THE SERVERS **
*======================================================================*
* General
-----------------------
If you want to connect to a server you have to add it to the *Selected Server*
list. To do this you may specify one manually or via the Napigator list.
Since lopster 0.9.8 there is the ability to connect to a server directly listed
in the napigator list, but it is recommended to add the server to the selected
server list first.
* The Napigator List
-----------------------
The Napigator server list is a list of napster servers that are registered
on napigator. To view this list just do a right click and select *Refresh List*
* Meta Servers
-----------------------
A Meta Server is a server that internally selects a napster server address
and returns it to the client. The original Windows Napster client uses
server.napster.com:8875 as Meta Server to connect to the Napster network.
Lopster no longer supports official napster as they changed their protocol
and policy.
*======================================================================*
** THE CHAT **
*======================================================================*
Lopster has got a powerful chat interface....
* The options popup (use the wide button above the chat window)
* ======================================================================
o FIELD: Show join messages
Here you can specify the verbose level of the channel joins.
Joins of your friends are shown always
* None: No channel joins are shown
* All: All channel joins are shown
o FIELD: Show part messages
Here you can specify the verbose level of the channel joins.
Parts of your friends are shown always
* None: No channel parts are shown
* Recent Users: Only users are shown that interacted in chat within a
specified time. You can setup this time period.
* All: All channel parts are shown.
o FIELD: Timestamps
Specify the format of the timestamp shown in the chat window for every
message
o CHECKBUTTON: Do not show any messages from ignored users
if this button is activated not only private messages are ignored
but also public messages and emotes.
o CHECKBUTTON: parse colors in outgoing messages
if activated, all outgoing messages are scanned for color codes.
The following codes are supported (all with a beginning %)
Foreground colors:
%k (dark black) BLACK
%r (dark red)
%g (dark green)
%y (dark yellow) BROWN
%b (dark blue)
%m or %p (dark purple)
%c (dark cyan)
%w (dark white) LIGHT GRAY
%K (light black) DARK GRAY
%R (light red)
%Y (light yellow)
%B (light blue)
%M or %P (light purple)
%C (light cyan)
%W (light white) WHITE
Background colors:
%0 (dark black) BLACK
%1 (dark red)
%2 (dark green)
%3 (dark yellow) BROWN
%4 (dark blue)
%5 (dark purple)
%6 (dark cyan)
%7 (dark white) LIGHT GRAY
Others stuff:
%n reset fore and backcolor
(see next section for examples)
o CHECKBUTTON and ENTRY: afk message
If this button is activated every incoming privated message is automatically
answered with the given text (if you have specified one) and the time you
are AFK. The incoming messages are all stored in one single "Away log" window
or are displayed in the current chat page (configurable in the preferences)
(see command: /afk)
* The text entry field
* ======================================================================
Here you can give commands and write public messages for the current channel
To list all available commands use the command /help
If no command is given, Lopster sends
* a public message if in a channel page
* a private message if in a private page
* a message to all Moderators+ if you are in Operator page (MOD+ only)
* a message to all users if you are in Global page (Admin+ only)
Any chat message you send will be color parsed, if color parsing is activated.
To use colors, you have to insert codes:
o %<color> // see above
Example: This is a %Rlight red, %gnormal green, %Blight blue %ntext
There are some key shotcuts for the text entry field:
o TAB if the line starts with a slash /, the following command will be
completed if possible and if not possible, then another TAB will
show all potential commands.
if the line does not start with a slash, the text is completed to
a username in the current channel. This also works if you prepend
an @. If the username is the first word in the line then a ':' is
appended.
*======================================================================*
** THE LIBRARY **
*======================================================================*
In the Library the files are stored you want to share with the other users.
* General
--------------------
The library is automatically saved on exit to the specified filename in the
Library page. This list will be loaded on next startup. Share status is not
saved at the moment.
Adding files
--------------------
To add files to the Library, simply add a folder to the Shared Files in
Preferences->Shares and press the OK button. The shared list will be refreshed
automatically.
* Removing files
--------------------
To remove files, remove a directory from the folder list in the preferences.
Another way to remove files is to select a file or a directory in the Library
and to select the *Remove* entry in the popup menu (right click).
* Saving, loading, deleting shared lists
--------------------
o To save the shared list, simply enter a filename in the entry field below the list
and press the *save* button. The list is saved to the location ~/.lopster/share/
o To load a saved list, press the button *Files* with with the blue arrow below the
tab. There you can select it. With this button you can also delete a saved list or
add a list to the current Library.
*======================================================================*
** THE SEARCH **
*======================================================================*
The search page has got two sections: the Search Fields and the Search Result
List.
* The Search fields
----------------------------
The search fields are detachable with the little button |^|
The fields have three sections:
o the basic search parameters
Here you can specify where you want to search: on napster, in your library,
in the browsed users (hotlist), in the search results.
You also can specify the filetype: mp3, video, audio, etc.
There is a difference in search on napster and searching somewhere else:
- If you search on napster for type X, then the results are files, the
server thinks they are of type X. And the server thinks, what the client
tell it to think: If you share video files as type mp3, then the server
thinks they are mp3s (no matter what suffix the files have).
At the moment the only client that seems to share videos as videos is
Lopster. That means: If you want to search for videos then it is best
to search for type "any" (and increase the filesize). If you searched for
type video, then the results would be only from lopster users.
- If you search in Lopster internally then the results are files, Lopster
thinks they are of type X.
In preferences you have to specify which suffixes Lopster should
recognize as which type.
The max results entry is quite useless, as most opennap servers limit
the results to 100 or something. So setting a higher value has no effect.
o the advanced search parameters
o the search history list
*======================================================================*
** THE HOTLIST **
*======================================================================*
*======================================================================*
** THE TRANSFERS **
*======================================================================*
*======================================================================*
** THE EXTERNAL HANDLER **
*======================================================================*
There are several events that are passed to the external handler:
* IM <user> <message>
* UPLOAD <user> <file>
* DL_FINISHED <user> file>
