PGP-Chat encrypts chat messages with PGP.
Advisories
You must have GUI Pinentry for password protected PGP keys.
When you have No Chat Reports installed decryption doesn't
work in singleplayer, but still works in multiplayer.
Usage
Requirement: GPG must be installed, with the keys of anyone you want to send encrypted messages to, imported.
Sending encrypted messages:
Prefix any chat message with enc: to encrypt it before sending:
enc:Hello, this is an encrypted message.
Configuration
The config file is available, from your instance's root folder, at config/PGP-Chat/config.txt
Unconfigured, it looks like this:
# The fingerprint, email, or key id of your message's recipient's pgp key (must be in gpg keyring), you can add more recipient: lines to add more recipients
recipient:
# The path to gpg, you probably don't need to put anything here if your gpg is at a standard path
gpg-path:
To send an encrypted message you have to put recipient key info in the config and a player wanting to send an encrypted message to you must do the same.
