[PLUGIN] Chat (with SocketIO)

... The problem is not with installing node.js, but with using dbm to install socket.io ...

dbm? Try npm: 'npm install socket.io' will do it under Win7.

What is this Unique ID ?

Schoening

Uh? I don't understand your question, could you explain more detail?

The Chat Plugin has a Event Function Called Unique ID.

Is this just the Server Giving the Joined User an ID, OR is it something more advanced, the IP?

Would be great to know, if it is the IP I could BAN people.

Also, please take a Look at my Topic: Simple Chat Window with Rex's Plugin   in the "How do I...?" Section, if you got time <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Uh, I guess this "Unique ID" is just an "UID", each instance has an UID given by engine.

I had created another socket.io plugin, look at this thread.

Yes, plugin will give each joined player an user id. You can see this part in sample capx at this thread.

Ty.

So with the new Server I simply use it, no worries about the Server you say?

Schoening

I think so. The server still alive now. <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

In my plan, designer use bottleneck plugin to connect to server, then use sync-function plugin to transfer/handle commands.

I am getting A LOT of help from Wastrel right now to make a good chat.

I am trying to get your Plugin to work in it.. But I fail..

Could you point me in the Right Direction?

whoops! this is still the old server btw

Schoening

Got it!

Since "on data received" is a trigger with a green arrow, it can not put after other event I thought.

OK

Perhaps I got it now..

But I am still not sure if it is "Online"

Schoening

Send then receive a message, success means "online". Or, "condition: On disconnect" could give you a notify when offline.

BTW, Ashely told me that green arrow could be placed under other events

Sorry for my mistake.

No problem !

And since your re-arrangement "mistake" led me to this, its all a-ok :P

Also. I suppose ill just look at the Servers "Has Joined" Duuh

It appears to Work! Yay :p

I will now make it Look Cool !

If it is all right.. I ask a few questions <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />:

My Host (One.com) is not supporting Python !

* Is it possible to set up on Heroku without Python Knowledge?

* What do I have to Change the Connect To Address to when I want to host NON locally?

*Is it possible to do some sort of Members Logged in Count?

(I am thinking of:   

For each User ID Add 1 to "Online"

On Disconnect Substract 1 from "Online"

But the server seems not to realize leaving players for a long time if they just close the browser)

I think that's all.. sorry for being stupid ^^ more of a uhm.. non programmer for now I guess
