Pesterchum Quirks thread: Request and post your quirks here!

[cardiacAtrophy]

I don't believe that's possible.

[MegaRock35]

Ugh, okay, after fiddling around with it, I figured out it was some weird cache thing with Pesterchum where it only showed up as it was when I last logged in. I think I just needed to hit Reload Function.

Ah well, I've got it how I want it now. Thanks for putting up with my incompetence!

[cardiacAtrophy]

Ah, right. No biggie. I didn't even think that could have been the issue. Sorry.

[MoThErFuCkInMiRaClEs]

Okay, um...

How would I replace the words 'Okay, 'OK' and K' with 'Potassium'?

[C.J.C.]

HoW DO i mAkE IT so ThE WORDS go iN A pattern LiKe THE one i JUST did?

[Captain Combusken]

Okay, um...

How would I replace the words 'Okay, 'OK' and K' with 'Potassium'?

I just use Simple replace for this stuff to be honest. Don;t think there's another way to do it.

Simple replace: Okay, okay, Ok, OK, ok, K, k (do each individually- make sure you put a space before and after each one, unless if it starts with a capital later, in which case just put it after)
With: Potassium (with spaces before and after or just after depending on what you did for the before).

Actually, you can do regexp replace.

Regexp: ([oO][kK][aA][yY]|[oO][kK]|[kK]
replace: Potassium

HoW DO i mAkE IT so ThE WORDS go iN A pattern LiKe THE one i JUST did?

The pattern doesn't really look like a pattern. I see (M= majuscule, m=minuscule) MmM MM m mMMM MM mm MmM MMMMM mm mM M mmmmmmm MmMm MMM mmm m MMMM mmm, which isn't much of a pattern, unless you typoed and meant you want words to be M m repeating, in which case, it's simply

Regexp: (\w+) (\w+)
replace: upper(\1) lower(\1)

Or if it was m M

Regexp: (\w+) (\w+)
replace: lower(\1) upper(\1)

[skyisland21]

OKAY, so I basically AM asking FOR a QUIRK that ALTERNATES between UPPER and LOWER caps EVERY other WORD. I currently HAVE one, BUT it DOES not WORK with APOSTROPHES. IT also DOESN'T cap THE last TWO words IN a sentence. <--Like that.
Regexp: (\w+) (\w+)
Replace: upper(\1) \2
This is exactly what I am using, which is directly copy and pasted from the pesterchum forum, because this was used as an example, which coincidentally is a quirk I wanted, however it doesn't quite work as planned. So, any thoughts about this predicament?

[cardiacAtrophy]

(\w+) (\w+)
upper(\1) \2 works, IF you have an even amount of words in the line.


This works for variable amounts of words.

regexp: (\w+).(\w+|)
replace: upper(\1)\2lower(\3)


Shit what did I fuck up?

Hm, doesn't seem to want to work.

[tforge13]

So I saw one quirk that automatically changed the color for each letter typed. It appeared completely random, e.g. a 'g' could be blue, yellow, green, whatever. Any idea how to do that one?

[MoThErFuCkInMiRaClEs]

Ooh, in response to tforge, is it also possible to make it not random? Like, say...

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog?

Or if one were to try to make it more extreme...

A = Aquamarine
B = Blue
C = Celadon
D = Denim
E = Eggplant
F = Fuschia
G = Green
H = Heliotrope
I = Ivory
J = Jade
K = Khaki
L = Lavender
M = Maroon
N = Navajo White
O = Orange
P = Purple
Q = Quartz Grey
R = Red
S = Silver
T = Tan
U = Ultraviolet(represented as white)
V = Viridian
W = White
X = Xanthic
Y = Yellow
Z = Zucchini

[tforge13]

Dude are half of those even colors? Zucchini? Xanthic? Heliotrope?

[MoThErFuCkInMiRaClEs]

http://www.color-ize.com/color-list.php

Zucchini is a shade of green.
Xanthic is a shade of yellow.
Heliotrope is a pinkish thing.

[tforge13]

Nice. Well, let's just wait and see if there's anything that can come of this. The person who was using the quirk I suggested was one of the creators of Pesterchum, so it might have been a bit of an exploit on his part. *shrug*

[Snowyowl]

I did something like that, but it doesn't work very well. IRC limits you to 512 characters per post; Pesterchum automatically splits messages that are that long into two shorter messages. This doesn't come up very often, but a quirk which changes colour every letter replaces each character with 15 characters, so you'll need to be concise.

Anyway, the way I did it was random regex replace (.) with <c=#ff0000>\1</c>, with about 8 different random selections where I changed the hex code each time.

[cardiacAtrophy]

Hm, doesn't seem to want to work.

Sorry. I fucked up last night, and don't know how. Here you go, tested and true.

regexp: ([a-zA-Z']+,*)([.,?!\s]|)([a-zA-Z']+|)
repalce: upper(\1)\2lower(\3)

If you want numbers to be counted, change regexp to
([a-zA-Z0-9'}+,*)([.,?!\s]|)([a-zA-Z0-9']+|)

<note the | is a pipe, not an L, it's shift+\>

So I saw one quirk that automatically changed the color for each letter typed. It appeared completely random, e.g. a 'g' could be blue, yellow, green, whatever. Any idea how to do that one?

Try snowyowl's thing V
Except, don't do the </c> at the end. That appears to not be needed.

If you want an actual gradient though, I can make one if you provide 2-4 color points in hexcode.

[neuroticSawfly]

Umm... is there any way to make your last word look like </this>?

[tforge13]

Uhhh...sorry, I'm not sure I get it. What do I put in each box? What goes in the RegEx box and what goes in the "replace with" box?

[cardiacAtrophy]

regexp: (\w+)$
replace; </\1>

Uhhh...sorry, I'm not sure I get it. What do I put in each box? What goes in the RegEx box and what goes in the "replace with" box?

The one next to Regexp: goes in the regex box
The one next to replace goes in the replace box.

holy crap that's still a bit extreme, i will be adjusting that stutter, but i think it should work [instead of every letter 10 times it's now random letter 3-5 times, which is acceptable for now]

any ideas what words should be errors and/or synonyms? also can somebody supply me a lambda? is there a symbol that could accurately represent aperture science? i get a strong feeling these questions don't belong here, but i don't know where else to put them

Lambda: majuscule Λ
Minuscule λ

Replacements:
Thing > apparatus
machine > device
room > chamber
building > facility

to name a few.

As for the aperture symbol, I don't believe there's anything like that.

[WeegeeThunder]

I'm trying to RP a male rose, and I'm having trouble typing exactly correct.

I'll skip to the point: Is there a way to capitalize the beginning of each sentence, and ensure that everything is correctly spelled?

Edit: Similarly, is there a way to have everything non-caps, except for allcaps words (like yelling)?

Please and thanks x2 combo.

[blackcat8]

thanks, i've added those as well as added one more for room and given them each a unique error that will randomly appear, will now be implementing the lambda to replace lower case "a" and have all uppercase "A" replaced with either two or three, or maybe any battery type [triple A, double A, D-cell, etc], and don't worry about the aperture symbol, for that i guess i'll just use 0, too bad we can't italicize, that would work much better, also to get any number of A to be 2 or three i do [in random replace]

regexp: [+A]
replace with: AA
AAA

right?
