I think that's definitely the best way to keep this code -- unsubmitted, but available to those who want to apply it themselves. Does this mean we can consider this request resolved?
I'm not sure. A lot of people find it intimidating to have to compile mafia themselves, even with that helpful page on the wiki.
I've been using this patch. It's a nice little feature that has improved my quality of life.
Thanks Grotfang.
Not something I think *needs* to go into the main source, but possibly worth a discussion. The attached patch uses a variable (global, but not attached to the Options Panel, so needs to be edited manually or via the CLI) called chatBeep (true or false, default false). If true, it will emit your system's default beeping noise on receipt of a private message.
Just checking... you actually read post 4 which fully explained that this was a hidden preference, and manually set chatBeep to true to turn it on, and it didn't work. Right?
No, it'sset chatBeep true
set chatBeep=true
