Included with Emacs since version 22.3. Last stand-alone release in 2008, last commit to repo in 2009.
removing this package caused the erc to lose all the different nick colors. Even bold lines are printed as: -NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via ^B/msg NickServ identify <password>^B. -NickServ- You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname before it is changed. -NickServ- You are now identified for ^Bjoe9^B. It does not find "goodies" module when used with erc-update-modules.
(In reply to Joe M from comment #1) I've committed an ebuild for erc-extras to the Emacs overlay: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/emacs.git;a=tree;f=app-emacs/erc-extras This should contain the modules that didn't make it into GNU Emacs. Please test if emergeing this package fixes your problem.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I am not using any of the modules listed in the erc-extras ebuild. All the modules that I am using are part of the current emacs build and they exist under the erc directory. For some reason, it appears that erc.el is not able to read those modules. I checked the load-path, and it had the "/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/erc/" noglob locate erc-goodies.el /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/erc/erc-goodies.elc Anyway, when I try to install the erc-extras, I get the below error: sudo emerge --nospinner --ask n app-emacs/erc-extras These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Created attachment 370928 [details] erc-config-to-ulm.el
I am attaching the erc-config.el file that I used with erc-5.3. With that, it used to show the nicks in different colors and highlighting of my nick used to work. After removing erc-5.3 and using the same config files, all that highlighting is gone. I suspect that the package erc-5.3 had some defaults built-in for the highlighting behaviour. Also, btw, the error about the erc-goodies module might be a red herring. I did not have that module with erc-5.3. I was just trying to add that in to see if it would fix anything. Please let me know if you need more details. Thanks

(In reply to Joe M from comment #4) > Created attachment 370928 [details] > erc-config-to-ulm.el Only suspicious thing that I see in your config is this line: erc-current-highlight-type 'nick This variable doesn't exist, neither in the erc that comes with emacs-24.3, nor in erc-5.3. There's an erc-current-nick-highlight-type though. Other than that, the only idea that came to my mind is that there could be some issues with load path shadowing during compilation of Emacs, if the stand-alone erc-5.3 was installed at that time. (Do you still have the build log of emacs-24.3?) So, recompiling Emacs might be worth a try. Make sure that app-emacs/erc is _not_ installed during compilation.

But, still it made no difference to how erc is displaying the nicks, colors, etc.
Pressing Tab after pressing a few characters of the nickname used to try to complete the nick. Now, it just does inputs a <Tab>. It is almost as if none of the erc modules are working. Though, I do not see a message in *Messages*. Not sure if this helps.
