Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knew of a ChatLink plugin for two servers? I have a server and me and the other owner want to hook our servers up. I looked up ChatLink, and I found a plugin. Unfortunatly it doesnt work. So does anyone know of one?
I wouldn't be able to do this, but I've seen some plugins that connect their chat to an IRc channel, so if you connected both severs to 1 IRC channel, and then had the IRC channel connect back to each server, that might be one way... Edit: After posting this I realized that this is like how to Internet works! Instead of connecting every computer directly together, they connect each computer to a universal source, which then connects the computers (Or something like that )
Right, Thanks for responding! Anyone know how to? But yeah I kinda need something that can link two server's chats together. That would be fun. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
xXTh3B3astXxify Why don't you do exactly what he said? Get a chat to IRC plugin, and use it for both servers, even if you don't give people the IRC chat info, they will both hear each other through the IRC channel itself.
But the thing is I have searched and searched and tried, but I can't seem to find a good one Nevermind. I got it. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Running everything through an IRC server is ridiculous. Just use a Socket to relay the chat messages between servers, so you don't have to run an IRC server or worry about the lag that doing so will cause.
It's too complicated to explain here, but a Socket is what you want. Socket is a feature of Java that lets two machines communicate information over a network. You'd want some authentication between the servers that want to share chat, but other than that, it's very simple. It would be a good project to learn from. If you really want, I could create this as an example for you and explain every line.
"Network" can mean over the Internet, a local network, or even on the same computer. Anyway, I'll start work on it - I think it will turn out really cool.
Right thanks, as I just saw you updated it. How would I enable it? .jar? Or what? But again thanks for showing me.
It could be part of a regular plugin. By the way, if you're only interested in the function of the plugin, such plugins already exist (example), but I don't like the way they do it. If you're interested in learning my way (or not having to deal with a bunch of extra features you don't want), I'll continue to work on it.
That'd be great! I looked at that one. Waay to complicated for me. Thanks again By the way, it doesn't have to be very complicated. All I want is for it to use the chatlink feature. So don't worry. LOL EDIT: Time being I will work on my plugin. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Not to toot my own horn too much, but I have an IRC chat plugin I've co-written which I think is pretty simple. It is Farion, and if you need help setting it up to do what you want, you can send me a PM here on the forums, or you can occasionally get to me at #nuclearw on irc.esper.net
Right thanks. I will check it out after my Socket dev makes me his plugin. For now I'm sticking to the sockets. But no-thanks for telling me about it!
Looks great for an IRC plugin, but for the purpose of linking two servers' chats, the idea of putting an IRC server in the middle sounds ridiculous to me.
How about you stay off this thread if you aren't going to post something relevant. Isn't that the point?
It is totally relevant. I know people who still use it today. It may not work 100% as intended, but it supposedly still works. It barley used the bukkit api at all so its very likely that nothing has changed since the last update.
evilmidget38 Sorry for giving you a bad comment for the Tang, as I didn't relize it was just showing someone. Double0negative I was talking about something else.
