I just released a feature-rich update! It's been 5 months since the last update (again). I will try to release more frequently from now on.

chat4osu! has auto update - just fire it up and watch it get updated!

0.6

  1. Official linux AppImage release! You can find it in the original post
  2. A new settings panel with a notification sound option which is on by default (see screenshot below)
  3. A sweet new changelog page to see the changes more clearly
  4. Lots of framework updates for security and stability (Angular 9, Electron 9, etc...)
  5. Updated the login page to include the c4o logo
  6. Fixed a bug where having too many tabs open would prevent middle click close
  7. Fixed a bug where typing the wrong password would keep trying to reconnect
  8. Some general font updates for better readability
New settings panel


This settings panel will grow over time, but I made a good foundation for it to add as many customizable settings in the future.

Also, don't forget this project is open source and open for PRs :)

I do NOT ask for donations, but I've invested hours on end in this project and others (pickem, osu event, osu matchmaking, etc.), so if you wish to support my work, you can find a donation link here.

This is awesome, way better than the others, in each category, for Osu! ^_^b

Sorry for this! Apparently, GitLab changed its default artifact expiry (see https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/06/18/job-artifact-meta-data-expiration-change/)

It should be fixed now.

chat4osu 0.7 is out now!

I went through the backlog on the gitlab page and implemented 2 suggestions and fixed 2 bugs. Soon, once I go through the backlog a bit more, the client should be out of beta finally.

I would like to remind you guys that you can also write your suggestions in the GitLab backlog: https://gitlab.com/hallowatcher/chat4osu/-/issues


0.7

Added custom highlight keywords
Previously, if your name was something like [HALLO] (with the brackets) and people just called you hallo, then you wouldn't receive a highlight because it wouldn't match your username. Now, you can add a custom highlight keyword for the term "hallo" in Options -> Notifications. All keywords are case-insensitive and you can have multiple by comma separating them.

Thanks to https://gitlab.com/Bullet4fun for the suggestion.


Added keyboard shortcuts
I've added a few common keyboard shortcuts that you can find in most applications with tab functionality.
- Ctrl + N: Open a new channel
- Ctrl + W: Close a tab
- Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Right arrow: Cycle to next channel
- Ctrl + Shift + Tab or Ctrl + Left arrow: Cycle to previous channel

If you guys know of any more useful keyboard shortcuts, let me know.
Thanks to https://gitlab.com/Thymue for the suggestion


Bugfixes
Fixed a bug where usernames with spaces would not show up in the correct teams for TeamVS. This was mostly an issue with IRC setting spaces to underscores. So "Primark Umbre" would be recognized as "Primark_Umbre". This also meant that if someone wrote "Primark Umbre" in chat, you wouldn't get highlighted. This has been fixed as well. Thanks https://gitlab.com/LeoFLT for reporting this one

Fixed a bug where channel names would overflow into 2 lines if the window was too small and a lot of tabs were opened. I've made it so that channel names are never too long. This change also caused the tabs to not show a horizontal scrollbar anymore, they are made smaller every time you add a tab (just like Chrome). Thanks https://gitlab.com/Thymue for reporting this one

@hallowatcher, it's not working anymore for me (on Windows), there's an infinite loading at the start

chat4osu 0.8 is out now!

Added custom hotkey support
You can now create your own hotkeys for your own means under the Settings -> Hotkeys page. You can do cool things with this, for example binding Ctrl + 1 to "!mp start 10" or to start a timer

Added a useful /help command
You can write /help in chat to see all available commands. The help message also shows a nice cheat sheet for !mp set, because who remembers what each number is for when writing "!mp set 0 3 4"

From now on, chat4osu won't forcibly close on you when updating
This one is clear enough.

Added ability to scroll through your sent messages with the up and down arrow keys
You can use this to resend messages quickly.


Bugfixes
Fixed a bug where after logging in, the client would endlessly load. This was because the user was typing the wrong password, but the error wasn't being caught by the client. Errors should display correctly now when writing wrong passwords, and I also made it clearer that it's the IRC password that you need to enter and NOT your osu password

Fixed a displaying issue when dragging and dropping tabs, it should be smoother now and not change colors.

Hide empty user list when chatting in a PM


PS the application should auto update when you start it. If you are already in, it will not check for updates unless you restart the app.

I would also like to take this time to thank you all who use my projects, be it pickems/chat4osu/mm website. It's been around 3 years since I started developing osu! projects, and just recently I was given the "osu! contributor" status. Thank you ♡

An experimental MacOS build has been provided by @Subject#0001 on Discord.

Use this at your own risk!

https://hwc.hr/i/chat4osu-mac-EXPERIMENTAL.dmg

In the meantime, I've planned to set up a MacOS pipeline to build this automatically for Mac users.

PS the mac builds won't be signed, so you have to right click run them.

I've created an issue for this so that it's configurable in the future:

Interesting project, already trying it out to ref some matches.

Also, something I am missing here is nickname autocompletion with TAB like we have in-game, don't know if there is a way of doing it, but surely would be nice.

It feels way better to use than Hexchat ;)
Tanomoshii Nekojou
I'm super loving this. I'm uninstalling HexChat because of you! <3 :D

Extra features that I'd love to see if possible:
- Option to auto-save logs (instead of typing /savelog manually) on all open chats
- THIS:

- Show a yellow highlight for custom highlight keywords as well (currently it put yellow highlight only when my in-game username was mentioned)
- The /away command please ;w;

Thank you so much for creating this! <3 <3

Upon download, I get this message and I can't go any further. If I hit fix it says the file match is unsupported and if I delete it well, stops the process.
