IRC plugin!

[eagleeye91]

Hi, i have not made an irc plugin if you tought that, because i dont know any java. But, i want to ask if anyone else would be capable of making one, or if its even possible in this alpha version?



The reason i want this is because i have and irc plugin on my communitys website, and i have irc plugin on my minecraft server connected to the same channel, it would be great to be able to chat cross minecraft-website-starmade

its not hard, i have made irc plugins for nearly everything i have connected to each other, but starmade doesnt have an API as yet, and anything else would be too time consuming also illegal to some extent.

If we could just get the ability for plugins to interact with starmade chat that would be great!



edit: cuz it would be great to talk to the irc community while you are playing starmade. Even a separate chat channel for ingame website chat would be cool too, so ppl could effectivly chat across servers and every client can have the option of toggling that channel on or off.

like, the /f channel, you could have a trullay global channel like /c for website chatroom. And you could just do \'/c\' to toggle if the website chatroom chat shows up on your client or not



i think it would be great for the community, to not have to alt-tab out of starmade to chat on the website.

I have no experiance with IRC\'s and a little coding experiance, not in java though, so I may be wrong

If it is possible to fetch messages live from the chat, then it is possible to broadcast those messages to a servers chat. Just use StarNet. It wouldn\'t appear to have come from a player, but from the server itself so everyone could see it, but it would work

Getting messages out of starmade would be the hard bit. It would probably be done in the same way chat commands work, but instead of getting executing a command, it would broadcast the message into the IRC on behalf of the player.

If this was done this way, it would probably be rather bad. But it would atleast be a stopgap until we get an API

There is no way I could do this, but it would be interesting to see a finished version.
