[PLUGIN] Chat (with SocketIO)

This plugin had been depreciated. Use official multi-player feature instead of this plugin.

Wow nice to see someone working on this! :D

A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!!!!!!!!!!

Any unix versions of server? Would be more useful than Windows ones :P

Edit: Nvm there seems to be python stuff. Just need to check it out.

l33twash0r:

Try to run

python ServerEngine\SocketIO\main.py

l33twash0r:

Try to run

python ServerEngine\SocketIO\main.py

in the shell (maybe).

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "SocketIO/main.py", line 2, in <module>

    from tornado import web

ImportError: No module named tornado

E: lets see what happens when I install tornado. Sec.

E2: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "main.py", line 3, in <module>

    from tornadio2 import TornadioRouter, SocketServer

ImportError: No module named tornadio2

Now just need to read tornado tutorial and setup tornadio2 and see if it works then.

E3: Someone else wanna try? Cant figure it out :/

l33twash0r:

Sorry, you are right. The server need to install tornado and tornadio2.

User can try to combine sync-function plugin with chat plugin for more complex case.

The minify problem seems from socket.io-client. Sorry for it can not minify in current vision.

Excellent job! I just tested this out and it works great! I like how you setup the socket - I have been running node.js with socket.io from a Ubuntu VM (Virtual Machine) for a few months.

I like the idea of being able to use a product like Construct 2 to build out multi connection or multiplayer HTML5 application.

I am surprise that this socket runs on windows.

Do you know of any other capx examples of multi connection?

Thanks and great job!

Do you know of any other capx examples of multi connection?

No, sorry. There are only 2 plugins for network now, the other is zack's socket-io.

I have been playing around with your plugin and I was able to make the spirit jump for both connected users by simply adding simulate jump on data received. Kind of cool.

Here is a my .capx example of a platform sprite jumping. Every time "return" is clicked the sprite jumps in real time.

I am basically trying to eventually replicate something similar that was done in ImpactJS using ImpactConnect that uses socket.io and node.js.

Multiplayer Example Video:

I like construct2 much better than ImpactJS.

Using Chat plugin in real-time application might be dangerous, this plugin does nothing for synchronize with time.

Update:

Room moderator is the client who enter the chat room earliest in the chat room.

Room moderator can set the maximum member count of the chat room. 0 is infinity.

"Condition:Am I room moderator?" can let current client know if it is the room moderator.

A nice feature you may already be working on would be to assign a user name. You could do this on page load or before entering or even the first thing typed.

Here are some cool examples:
