This has very little to do with ChIT, but since it now includes game.ash, I thought I'd mention...does anyone else always enter chat immediately upon logging in? Because long, long ago, I made my own game.ash that bypasses chatlaunch.php and goes straight into chat (simply by referring the chatpane to chat.html instead of chatlaunch.php). Just wondering if anyone else was interested in that, and if so, maybe it can be included (with a variable to opt-out for anyone who doesn't want it).
Edit: It should open mchat.php for people using "new" tabbed chat.

Panel sizes would be easy.
EDITED: Including auto launching chat window.
Code:
import "zlib.ash";
void main(){
setvar('game.charpane','200');
setvar('game.chatpane','20%');
setvar('game.chatpane.page','launcher');//launcher, modern, older, ancient, mafia
writeln('<html><head><title>The Kingdom of Loathing</title><script language="Javascript" src="/basics.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" href="/basics.css" /></head>');
writeln('<frameset border="1" id="rootset" cols="'+vars['game.charpane']+',*,'+vars['game.chatpane']+'">');
writeln(' <frame name="charpane" src="charpane.php"></frame>');
writeln(' <frameset border="1" id="mainset" rows="55,*">');
writeln(' <frame name="menupane" src="topmenu.php" scrolling=no></frame>');
writeln(' <frame name="mainpane" src="main.php"></frame>');
writeln(' </frameset>');
write(' <frame name="chatpane" src="');
switch(vars['game.chatpane.page']){
case 'launcher':writeln('chatlaunch.php');break;
case 'modern':writeln('mchat.php');break;
case 'older':writeln('lchat.php');break;
case 'ancient':writeln('chat.php');break;
case 'mafia':writeln('chat.html');break;
}
writeln('"></frame></frameset>');
writeln('<script src="/onfocus.js"></script></html>');
}

Hrm, that's weird I never knew I had that option checked.
Back when I had it checked, a number of images would frequently get corrupted or something. I would have to go find the image in my mafia directory, and delete it to have mafia re-cache it. IIRC, the images tended to be the same ones, but I can't be sure. Time for a bug report? I stopped using the cache feature anyhow.

Are you suggesting that it would become usable for you if I made it the first thing that was checked in main() or should I just assume that you need to rename charpane.ash and weren't intending to encourage me to make some change?
Did the problem go away when you unchecked the option?
I was wondering if other people had a game.php which I would be conflicting with. First, do you know how to merge your changes to game.php with mine, by editing the version in the /svn folder? (Informational Link) Also, I am now considering making that an option for ChIT if anyone else speaks up about wanting to do it.
I don't understand all of that. What is the meaning of those 5 options for game.chatpane.page? (Obviously I'd be changing your var names to match others in my script, since they don't start with chit.)

The don't start with chit because from my perspective, they aren't chit. They could be, sure, but when I wrote it last night I was going for modularity (also I wanted different names for a different thing I was testing out). As for the options:
-launcher: this is the standard page that is shown when logging into KoL. Could also be renamed to 'default' or whatever.
-modern: Modern Chat (as described in the KoL chat options)
-older: Older Chat (see above)
-ancient: Ancient Chat (see above)
-mafia: I *believe* this is Older Chat, in function, with a tab on top to access the gCLI from the chat window.
-mafia sounds like ActiveChat, which requires Older Chat, and supplies tabs and a gCLI tab. Although Modern Chat provides tabs, I still use Active Chat - since it is familiar, is integrated correctly with KoLmafia, and is, as far as I can tell, just as good (if not better) than Modern Chat.
Various people have said they were working on integrating Modern Chat with Mafia Chat. I have no idea if and when somebody will finish that.

After some consideration I decided that I didn't really need to know all that. It's okay to take one extra server hit since the game is only rarely refreshed. That'd save the player the trouble of having to figure out their setting. Right now I'm considering implementing it like this:
Code:
import "zlib.ash";
string chatpane() {
if(vars['chit.game.chatlaunch'] == 'true') {
matcher chat = create_matcher('"([^"]*)"><b>Enter the Chat', visit_url('chatlaunch.php'));
if(chat.find())
return chat.group(1);
}
return 'chatlaunch.php';
}
// Rewritten game.php by bordemstirs
void main() {
setvar('chit.game.chatlaunch', false);
writeln('<html><head><title>The Kingdom of Loathing</title><script language="Javascript" src="/basics.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" href="/basics.css" /></head>');
writeln('<frameset id=rootset cols="200,3*,*">');
writeln(' <frame name=charpane src="charpane.php"></frame>');
writeln(' <frameset id=mainset rows="50,*">');
writeln(' <frame name=menupane src="topmenu.php" scrolling=no></frame>');
writeln(' <frame name=mainpane src="main.php"></frame>');
writeln(' </frameset>');
writeln(' <frame name=chatpane src="'+ chatpane() +'"></frame>');
writeln('</frameset>');
writeln('<script src="/onfocus.js"></script></html>');
}

Thanks for the link! I knew there was a way, but I was too lazy to look it up. =/
Also, thanks for at least considering implementing this. I wasn't sure it would be appropriate since, as bordem pointed out, it's not really ChIT.

I consider that anything which affects the charpane can be part of the Character Info Toolbox. Making the charpane taller certainly seems relevant to me.
Though, if a bunch of people started to tell me I've gone too far I would probably back off. I could always keep that game.ash override on my system even if I took it out of ChIT, after all.

I think he just meant the bit about the chat launcher.
Anyway, as with chit.game.chatlaunch, you could always have a chit.game variable (or chit.game.disable) to control whether people want to use the relay or not.

Oh yeah. That is kinda odd for ChIT. Maybe I shouldn't include it? I'm going a little off the reservation there...
I'd really like to hear if people reading this thread approve or disapprove of chat launching and changing frame arrangement to allow the charpane to be taller. Your opinions greatly matter to me.

Which probably means that you would ideally want game.php to remove the chat pane? Except then you don't see recent updates listed there either.

It does seem related to me, I think of this script as modifications to the relay interface in general. I'd use an automatic chat launcher.
