Tox protocol

[Vulpix]

Searching via toxme-se is now working even for names with weird characters. 

Clicking "add contact" on the add contact dialogue of the found contact doesn't do anything.

Weirdly enough, clicking "user details" in the right-mouse-button menu of the search results shows the user details of the local miranda user - nothing related to the search result.

Searching via tox ID simply says "contact is already in your list" (even though it is not) and you cannot add the user.

Contact adding is still broken
Netlog/debug log:
[10:49:14 0B3C] CToxProto::AddToList: you cannot add yourself to friend list
[10:49:15 0B3C] CToxProto::AddToList: you cannot add yourself to friend list
[10:49:15 0B3C] CToxProto::AddToList: you cannot add yourself to friend list
[10:49:16 0B3C] CToxProto::AddToList: you cannot add yourself to friend list

I think that the search result (when right-clicking) returns the user's own tox protocol ID. This is also why right-clicking and selecting "user details" shows my own details; not the person I'm trying to add.

This happens with both tox ID and toxme.se search result because the "add contact" dialogue is in the end the same kind of dialogue.


Additionally:

I noticed a strange behavior with Tox after the last changes (though it may have nothing to do with them).

If I go online with Tox, sometimes it gets stuck in the "connecting" phase. I.e. netlog says this:

[10:50:36 0E0C] Setting protocol/module name to 'Toxanda'
[10:50:47 0E0C] CToxProto::SetStatus: changing status from 40071 to 40072
[10:50:47 1704] CToxProto::PollingThread: entering


And nothing will happen even if you leave it up for several minutes.

However, if you switch to offline and online again, the protocol reconnects immediately (or very quickly):

Not sure what this is related to, but my connection is stable, 240/20Mbit optics, so it's not the connection.

For me it's quick only if i restart Miranda, otherwise it takes pretty long tim until i see contacts online if i played with on\off status (it may be as well libtox initialization behavior).

Hmm, it's not so much about seeing contacts online. It's literally about the protocol taking a long time to show as "connected" - sometimes it never happens.

Anyway, latest binary:

Contact adding by tox id - fixed! 
Contact adding by toxme.se - fixed!

Protocol itself - for me it's a matter of seconds to re-connect.

I see... well anyway! I'm very excited about file transfers I saw that some initial stuff was being put in! <3

 the /me actions work, but I didn't see that anywhere for the other clients (like in uTox). I assume this is a miranda-only client-side thing? It does work though!  This is a Tox feature ( https://libtoxcore.so/api/tox_8h.html#a446bfa17062465c7f18674e9ff559f8c ), miranda now supports it.

*wink wink file transfers next wink*

Chat direction from Miranda to uTox or qTox=>
Interestingly, using /me while chatting with someone using utox appears like a regular message, the "/me" is stripped.
Using /me while chatting with someone using qtox causes the message to not be shown at all!

This is a client issue though, not a miranda issue.

uTox support actions, but shows them in log like a message (and it's his own troubles).
Miranda is not possible to send the action otherwise, other than as a message with the prefix / me.
So, before the action event will be saved in database, miranda cuts /me prefix
and change the type of event (action should be shown not like a message in log, i suppose).

action should be shown not like a message in log, i suppose

I checked in History++, it appears like a different type of event.

[Vulpix]

I use ieview and the /me action appears exactly like a contact status change text - this is good and I am used to it.

I was just stating that the /me doesn't work with most tox-only clients (utox/qtox), but this is actually their issue; not miranda's.

Now you can start testing it
