Now Playing (tm)

[Auswaschbar]

preliminary note: needs development version of spring to work

On game start, prints a nice message of type

[15:53:06] * Auswaschbar2 is now playing a 1v1 of Balanced Annihilation V7.13 on Severnaya_Industrial_v96

in one (or more) lobby channel(s) of your choice.

terminatory note: you can only be logged in in lobby once, so it will fail if you give your account and are still logged in with the lobby

As if we hadn't enough spam from bots, scripts, and autohosts.

[aegis]

how does this work at a lower level?

i guess it is given as an example of what can be done

[aegis]

oh, checked the source. C++? I wanted luasockets

guess I can use my uberserver stub to fake it anywho :D

Which do you consider more fun, spamming #main with bots or in person?

[Tribulex]

bots are fun. you can flood epically :D then get banned but make a new bot!

So widgets can now send messages to lobby. But how do they receive messages from lobby channels? Then anyway, while I had to wrote a mini single player skirmish generator, I'm not sure I really want to write a multiplayer lobby.

Code: Select all

con:JoinChannel("sy")

No #? How will we join battlerooms if channels names are autoprefixed by #?

[aegis]

channels aren't prefixed by #, the actual protocol to join sy sent by the lobby is "JOIN sy"

and battlerooms are a completely different command, "JOINBATTLE battleNumber"

[zwzsg]

Ah ok, got confused with bibim IRC bridge, thanks for the clarification.

[Auswaschbar]

For receiving messages, you first need to join a channel, and have at least one of the following functions implemented:

Code: Select all

function LuaLobby:SaidEx(channel, user, message)
	Echo("["..channel.."] "..user.." " .. message);
end

Code: Select all

function LuaLobby:Said(channel, user, message)
	Echo("["..channel.."]<"..user..">: " .. message);
end

Code: Select all

function LuaLobby:SaidPrivate(user, message)
	Echo("<"..user..">: " .. message);
end

SaidEx is the "/me" style IRC command btw.

cool now we never even need to close spring! We can make a lobby client in lua, and just restart spring for each game!
