Title: Website Chat to ingame Chat.
Post by: lazarus on August 08, 2007, 04:30:27 pm

Hey all ur genius people.
have anyone every made a scipt that can communicate thro a website to the ingame chat?
i would do working just like the guest channel.
as the bot is the one type in ingame chat.
like
[org][bot][web]nick: Hey yo all

but for this to work I will need to have the bot log all the chat into the database.
and then just a php script that update a window with info from this database.

This last step is the easy part, but the bot coding is alittle over my head I think.
Thro I have not looked to much into it.

Where do I hook the chat input in the bot?

It's fairly easy actually.

• Pick an IRC server and create an org channel.
• Connect the bot to the IRC channel.
• Setup something on a webpage to connect to the IRC channel (IE: a java or PHP based web based IRC client).

Well I dont use IRC.

I was thinking on having a log table and a queue table.
Then the bot run a script to write the queued to the org chat, and by that get into the log table.

The log table is then showing to the website user.

ofcause the users would have to logon to the webpage and from that the username will be extracted.

there is a module called AutoMsg but not the 1 i posted
this module checks a table for entires and then relay to gc or wateva if anything is found
then all u need to do is have your site make the entires

Logging chat to the database would be rather slow, and eat up a lot of processing/etc.

Writing to a text file is quicker and probably better.

You could write a module to capture all GC chat, write to a text file, then have your webpage script pick that up, and output it.

What if I had a dedicated bot to only log the GC chat? with a continued open connection to the SQL?
or the text thing is better?

Every time you write to SQL, it's expensive.

No one's saying you can't do it, just that it won't be that fast.

You really you should look into http://www.pjirc.com/main.php  (http://www.pjirc.com/main.php), It works well and can be integrated into a forum or web page quite nicely. I have it set up on my forums using SMF. Certainly less complex than any other method I can come up with.
