chat with ooc from outside game

[Daxchunjae99]

That's cool. That's pretty much what I had in mind. But all this would be instantaneous from the browser with no discord joining and all that. Also, I would have the chat box and refresh just like how it looks ingame so you pretty much see a portion of the chatbox live, kinda like a window to the game so to speak.

I think I could get this up and running on a php editor as an extra tab. Not a fan of Discord since my cryptos got hacked through there but I'll take a look through this, thx!

What you're talking about has been done before, I've done it before. Discord just makes sense for anyone's use cases. Discord itself is not a security issue in the way you describe.

Auction, ooc and everything you mentioned is covered in the Discord implementation using exactly a telnet persistent connection to achieve the realtime back and forth

We used to have different sets of relays over time, web relays, IRC relays etc. There are a thousand ways to do the same thing but ultimately what sticks is what use case fits a majority in the community

Discord is realtime both ways and if you want to code up chat in a browser that is completely your prerogative and no one will have a problem with it.

Just letting you know what is around right now and why its used and when folks reinvent the wheel with things they may not have known about something that was already out there and the tool or thing dies and along with it the motivation to put energy into something because it wasn't received in the way you would have hoped.

HTH

Hehe, I get that all the time whenever I come up with modifications. No worries. Thanks for the heads up akkadius. I think most people would prefer Discord since it's pretty much go to these days.

Just for the challenge though, I think I'm going to see if I can whip something up. It's only for a select few devs I've trusted over the years anyways. Plus, it wouldn't hurt brushing up on php/jQuery/ajax skills.

If you're going to challenge yourself, use Laravel (PHP) / VueJS and the Websocket server built into Laravel

Oh god Laravel, Just kidding I respect Frameworks . But I'd rather write things from scratch, I think I learn better that way. The only framework I use on a consistent basis would be jQuery and I love it.

I'll update on this as I go, so far I got the ooc & auction to display. I can test this with p1999 log to see it parse in real time just to see there's no lag between the log file and the display. The 2nd part would be to brush up on sockets and telnet again.

Here's a quick update on what I have so far. I separated this into 2 parts. The 1st part would be to output the info, filter it and have it display correctly from bottom up. Timestamp was cleaned up as well and displays with proper colors.

The 2nd part would be to do the telnet part. Adding another div to simulate a chat response text field and have that working behind the scenes.
