Hey all,
The netpd project's chat interface inspired me to fix up the [entry]
object so that it could serve as the building block for a chat app.
I've added a number of improvements:
- fixed fg/bg color bug
- created [add( message which allows you to add to existing text
- added float support to [set( and [add( messages
- created second outlet which outputs the keys as you type them (this
makes it easy to assign the enter/return key to make the box send its
text).
- made the inlet visible.
- added rudimentary [size x y( message
There are a couple of things that I think would be worth adding:
- a message to add one character at a time
- messages to change the font face, size, and weight
- messages to change the border of the box
This is in today's auto-builds if you want to try it.

hi Hans
recently i divided the chat code and gui in a testing version on http://www.netpd.org/NetpdGuiAbstrhacked
and extended it today with an experimental skin that is using [entry] to replace the symbol box. i have successfully tested on macosx103 with http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2007-10-26/ Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026-macosx104-powerpc.dmg
the entry in the GOP didn't display, does it for you? entry-gop-test works fine in pd-ext-039
in order to work with pd-ext i had to rename some object in chat and netpd-gui i.e. [l2s] to [zexy/list2symbol] or [netclient] to [maxlib/netclient]. is renaming zexy , maxlib objects with namespace the correct/only way in pd-extended?
if we can't load zexy objects without namespaces some(many?) netpd patches wouldn't work. i'm afraid the whole chain, between master-clock, sequencer, instrument, mixer and effects would break.

hm, i didn't test myself, but since you are using pd-0.40 (extended or not) zexy and maxlib and stuff should be loaded by [declare]. i think currently they are only loaded as externals, which means, for extended we would need to add them as pathes as well (with '-stdpath' instead of '-stdlib'). could you test, if that works? there is no way in renaming all the objets.

the readme says "By default, most of the included libraries are loaded

if import is the way to go what about all helpfiles, do they need to
get updated in order to work?

Sounds like you are using your own preferences file. If you move/
remove that, then it'll use the built-in prefs, and all the libs will
be loaded.

yep that was it. i thought that there was none, but there was an empty one.
thanks hans and i'll change the netpd-gui-extended and remove all " zexy/" so it should work with both pd's.
now if only the entry in a gop would work again. does it for you?

i've made an update of the test that works with the pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026 and pd-netpd-osx (requires the latest entry)

in case of netpd, it's not worth to think about [import] at all. netpd won't use it.

Any particular objection to [import]? It's an external like any
other. If you use list2symbol, etc. because it solves problems, I
don't see a reason to ignore [import].

Yes, it's just an external, but it doesn't work with versions of Pd
older than 0.40.2.

One thing that I forgot to add is that many aliases currently don't
work in Pd-extended. So sometimes, you need to use full names, like
list2symbol instead of l2s.
They could be added, it's just a matter of someone doing the work :D
