whenever I try to open up one of my servers im on the client crashes, is there a way to fix this? And has anyone else experienced this?

so far, gifs are just blank messages, replys dont show up, or threads

now that the recent update has allowed me to look closer at the program im able to spot a few issues that are, while less detrimental to the function of the program, still exist!

the main issue, and the only one that needs solving in my eyes, is that messages that are deleted from discord arent removed from the pesterchum client. this wouldnt be a huge issue if not for certain bots like pluralkit, which function by deleting messages from channels and re-sending them under different names; in the pesterchum client, this becomes kind of a massive cluttered mess really quickly!!!

there are a few other minor issues here, that don't need fixing quite as badly but would be good quality of life:

• occasional crashes on regular discord client use: probably unfixable, due to discords insistence on making cool projects like this not work, but... well, thats all ive noticed about it, really. if you tab into a normal discord client while pesterchum is running, it will sometimes/eventually cause a crash.

• line breaks posted from discords main client: the pesterchum client just turns these into spaces! not sure if thats fixable but it would be nice for formatting/readability

• window resizing: while you can resize the windows in the program, the text boxes, ui, etc. will not grow with the window; it just produces a lot of yellow space. i wouldnt be surprised if this is unfixable due to the nature of custom themes, but it would be nice to look into!

• discord formatting: not much of an issue, but i do wonder how hard it would be to have the program recognize, say, two asterisks on the same line, remove them, and put the text in between in italics? with backslashes ignoring the following character in that check, being removed in the process? it would allow the program to be better used alongside people not using it!

Things on the top bar where "client" is overlaps with the skin, also included with this bug is the borders on Serious Business are no longer curved.

After extracting all files and trying to run the Pesterchum executable file i'm presented with an error saying "Python error in main script" and shows me every instance of the find and load command "". I'm running windows 10 and my Discord client is fully updated. Any idea how to fix that?

im shaking and crying rn

The program crashes as soon as I send a message. I put the correct token and can see my friends, but it stops working when i send something.

No matter which theme I'm in, or what account, selecting a mood seems to crash the client.

The memo box can't be resized and is stuck to a certain size. Even at this aspect ratio, the buttons in the bottom right just generally look crunched.

Tested on Windows 10 using the Trollian 2.5 and Pesterchum themes.
When I press the block button with no user selected, nothing happens. Unsurprisingly, but a pop up would be a nice QoL feature. When a user is selected, though, pesterchum crashes and the user isn't blocked.

Also, when sending a message, message sends (which can be seen in Discord) but doesn't update in pesterchum. Replies also dont appear. Tested when messaging a user, bot, group dm, and discord server. The only way to force the messages to load is to close and reopen the chat window. OR, if the messaging window pops up (from being messaged) it works as intended sometimes. If you receive a message from user A, you can start messaging user B and it will work fine, though. (tested with tabbed conversations on, might have something to do with that)
In general when the messages break and stop appearing, restarting pesterchum fixes that temporarily.

Other Stuff That Might Just Not Be Implemented Yet

• Offline users have moods other than offline. (Suggested fix, if you can get the online/idle/DND/invisible/offline status of a user, show (random valid mood) for online and idle, rancorous/detestful for DND, and offline for invisible and offline. It'd be cool for there to be a way to use ones status in discord to set mood, but I'm not sure how doable that is.)
• Embeds and images show as empty messages from the user if there's no additional text. (I.e. PP: )
• Quirk changes aren't saved if pesterchum crashes. Doesn't happen if you make a change > exit pesterchum > open pesterchum > pesterchum crashes. Not sure if there's an easy fix, but uh, thats a thing.
• The Add Chum button causes pesterchum to crash.
• At the top of the memo list, theres a blank memo. Clicking it causes pesterchum to crash.

Suggestions For Cool Features

• Being able to nickname users (e.g. user Joe#1111 > funUsername, to be lore compliant) would be really nice, especially if said nickname was tied to the users discord ID (1696415383375056969) rather than their handle (Joe#1111) so you wouldn't have to remake it if they change their handle.
• Being able to set the text colours of each user would be awesome, especially if it saved in the same way as above. Bonus if it also applied to the colour selector on the main screen.
• Speaking of the colour selector, clicking it doesn't do anything beyond selecting it (I.e. no pop up) which is probably just indicative of nothing being implemented there yet, but it'd be nice if it did something.
• Group DMs are shown in the same place as messages to a single user, I suggest either moving them to the Memos section, or having them be in a separate group in the chumroll. Also, Group DMs probably shouldn't have moods haha.
• Clicking your handle on the main screen could bring up an interface to change your nickname (either on a Discord level or just locally)

Hopefully all of that is helpful, its 4 am and I'm desperately hoping this isn't abandonware. Have a nice day, and all my complaining aside, im a big fan of what you've made here.

Alright so, I found my token using these instructions https://discordhelp.net/discord-token , since the instructions in the readme seemed to be outdated and pasted it into the box and I got a failed to connect message.
I'm assuming this client needs to be updated or something? I ran the updater and tried again but got the same result.
I use windows 10 and I also had discord open on the same machine. The token I got was a hella long alphanumeric string (which I will not share because that's basically asking to be hacked) so I figure I used the right thing.

I have downloaded the file and unzipped it but there appears to be no sign of the 'pesterchum.exe' anywhere in any of the folders. There is a 'pesterchum.py' file but it seems to do nothing

it says to install, there should be a pesterchum.exe file upon unzipping, but there... isn't?

When I extract the files into a new folder and run "pesterchum.py" it opens the console for a second and then closes immediately.
There is no "pesterchum.exe" the Install section said there was, so im not really sure what to do.

The 'memo' section of the launcher just generally does nothing. You have to pre-join something with the actual client for it to show up. Then as well, you can join only by double-clicking on it.

The text still shows up in normal discord, however.

I do not know where "Headers" (step seven) is. Am I just dumb?

Whenever I change tabs in a memo the userlist disappears and new messages don't appear.
This happens no matter which memo I'm in.

It shows the text when I highlight it.
I tried editing it myself to no avail.
