[Mod] Internet Relay Chat [irc]

[kaeza]

Sorry for the late reply. That's a nice idea. Currently I'm unable to fix this since I'm currently without Internet access at home until December 16th. If you wanty to remove non-IRC related code, do so, and please post a patch/pull request/whatever. Thanks.

[kaeza]

I'm back with some small updates.
There's now a precompiled Windows version (untested). I used a Linux->MinGW32 crosscompiler, but since I haven't Windows handy, I cannot test it. I'll be thankful if someone tests this for me.
Also, RAPHAEL, the FTP and HTTP are not used, so there's nothing to worry about.

I tried it out on windows, it crashed. Debug:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Thanks for testing.
Please compile from sources. I won't be providing updated binaries since the code is still in development. This bug has also been fixed (?).

[kaeza]

Some updates.
Now that I have set up a script for building both the Linux and Win32 versions, I'll be providing binaries again.
I really need testers for other platforms. Anyone can /join #minetest-irc-testing and share their knowledge with us, and see the mod in action.
Also, as always, the github link is for the bleeding-edge changes to the sources.
I'll try to keep the binaries as up to date as I can.

Thanks again to all of you for your support!

[kaeza]

Small update!

• Now supports auto-connecting to IRC network and auto-joining the channel. These two options are customizable in the `config.lua' file.
• Overriden /me chat command to "perform an action" (as in IRC). The text is also seen in the channel.
• Now the bot sends a message to the channel when a player joins/leaves the game.
• Added support for some "bot commands": `!who' to retrieve the list of players in the game, and `!whereis' to retrieve the location of an arbitrary player in the game world.
• Fixed a major bug that prevented the bot to join the channel under certain cases. Hopefully this will also fix that dreaded "Quit: Excess Flood" message some users were receiving.

Also fixed one of my maintainer scripts that was used to upload the binaries, so the link to the binaries will be pointing again to the latest binaries again.

Any more feature suggestions are welcome.

[kaeza]

Small updates here and there :)
See first post.

[kaeza]

New small update.
- Fixed a bug not auto-joining the players (only the ones at channel connect would get "joined").
- Updated binaries accordingly to latest git.

[kaeza]

Fixed a problem at `pack_mod' stage on CMake versions prior to 2.8.7 (?).
Thanks goes to xy and RAPHAEL for reporting the error.

New Features:
- /irc_disconnect and /irc_reconnect commands.

As always, latest binaries are available for Win32 and Linux.

(I desperately need Windows testers)

[kaeza]

Added binaries for Debian Squeeze 64 bits, generously contributed by vortexlabs/mrtux.
Many thanks to him for this contribution.
See first post for link.

[kaeza]

Added binaries for Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64, generously contributed by Calinou.
Many thanks to you Calinou!

[jojoa1997]

can you make this mod work without outside programs

[xavier108]

This is great

[kaeza]

can you make this mod work without outside programs

Minetest does not export a networking API, so I must resort to external libraries to do it.
If you have problems compiling, catch me on ##mt-irc-mod or #minetest and I will help you.
BTW: As I said elsewhere, the Windows version is relatively UNTESTED. You can help me by testing it and reporting any problems.
This works well on all Linux systems on which it was tested.

[kaeza]

Small bug fixes and updated documentation.
Added auto-reconnect on /kick

[RAPHAEL]

Already informed Kaeza but Windows binaries don't work. Sorry to those using Windows. Maybe it can get fixed lol

I'll take a look at the Win32 part of luasocket.
I may be able to test this under Wine, but I'm not 100% sure if this will a reliable indicator. Nevertheless, is as a good guess as any.

[kaeza]

AFAIK, the Windows binaries do not work. May be a faulty crosscompiler.
Awaiting someone to offer a precompiled version built using a native Windows compiler (MSVC, MinGW, etc)

[kaeza]

*BUMP*
This mod isn't dead; I'm just too lazy to update every small change I do.
I'm proud to say that this mod is since 2 months or so ago featured in all of OldCoder's and MarkTraceur's worlds.
Still waiting for someone to be able to compile natively on Windows though.

I have a Windows install here but no idea how to setup a compile environment on Windows. If someone could give a detailed howto or at least a howto I could give it a shot (never successfully compiled anything on Windows).

I recommend installing MinGW32 (a port of GCC for Windows platforms, along some basic utilities).
You'll also need CMake.
Just follow the instructions on the README to compile.

This is a bit strange. Might be a problem on my end; I don't quite know.

CMake tries to use MSVC by default under Windows, so you need to tell it to use the "MinGW Makefiles" generator via the -G command line option:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

cmake . -G "MinGW Makefiles"

we have another error.... i dont know if this is only on 0.4.3 a problem but here it is:

any idea?

[rubenwardy]

This mod is amazing!

(just tried it)

[Likwid H-Craft]

this really works on, SP?

[rubenwardy]

yes, it works on single player

Thanks! :)

Hmm... this looks like an oversight in my code. Actually, the LuaIRC documentation is pretty scarce, and I have not tested all the corner cases. In this case, it seems LuaIRC is passing a nil "quit message". I will fix it later.

To make your life easier, for now change the following line...

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

local text = "*** "..from.." left "..mt_irc.channel.." ("..part_msg..")";

...to...

[Kacey]

please don't use non-english (lol bad language i know) letters in here. they cause alot of stress trying to take them out and or replace them.

[kaeza]

Small update: Fixed the long standing bug where the `!who' bot command returned all players, even those already disconnected.
