[INACTIVE][CHAT] GlobalChat BETA 1.2 - Global chat across multiple servers [1000]

inactive

Come on, only 1 download. I need at least a few of you to use this, so that we can have some actual chat in there.

This is awesome, too bad I don't have a server to use it

EDIT: Maybe have an option to display the server the message is coming from?

 

Thanks.
How do you suppose I identify the server?

 

Possibly as a configuration setting like

Code:

config:
          server-name: My super awesome server

or defined in a command? (lol spacing sucks on the config)

 

Yeah that's just not gonna work. sorry

 

Just a suggestion

 

For the server just do : getServer().getServerName() when you enable the plugin you can add the IP or whatever.

That's a good idea

 

I had that idea 2 days ago. But filling in that information isn't required, so many servers won't have that.

 

Why?

Also, is there a way to link specific servers instead of every server that has the plugin?

 

Because people could easily impersonate other servers and cause trouble.
-----
Not at the moment. I'm working on the pm system (about to be done) then I'll see if I can make "networks" like that.

 

I still think it would be a nice addition- definitely for networks, and identifying duplicate names would be possible. I haven't tested it, but if you're worried about impersonation you should definitely send the player name with getName() and not getDisplayName().

 

I do have it as getName(). Here's a little snippet

PHP:

                    try {
                        plugin.http.postData("MY SECRET URL THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW", "m="+event.getPlayer().getName()+"|GC|"+event.getMessage());
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        //wat.
                    }

 

Hm, that doesn't look like a valid URL.

 

:O oMg you figured out why it wasn't working! thank you!

Version 1.1

• Added global private messaging with /globalpm [Recepient] [Message]

GlobalChat is now officially awesomer. Now somebody please get on the chat so I can try it out (talking to myself on 2 different accounts is lonely)

No offline-mode servers? Seriously? :-(

Can we get just auto-kick fake usernames? Or get a whitelist of offline-servers?

 

Yeah, seriously. How are we supposed to tell the difference between a fake username and a real one? And a whitelist of offline servers won't work either. Fake users can still join.

 

Yes, but the point of a whitelist is you trust the servers on it, and trust that they will be blocking fake users.

And by difference between real and fake username, I just mean a list of commonly stolen usernames (e.g. Notch, jeb_, Herobrine).

This system can still be abused, regardless. If someone has two instances of Minecraft open they can occasionally still join two servers, offline or not.

 

How are they to differentiate between a fake user and a real one? I could easily go into an offline server as JimmyTwoShoes55 and nobody would know.
I'm sorry, but there is 0% chance that I will allow any offline servers besides mine (for testing purposes)

To everybody:
I haven't seen anybody chat yet, and I'm really interested in seeing how well GlobalChat works. Could somebody with this installed type '/globalchat on' and start chatting?

People can steal somebody else's username (somebody they have a grudge on, other server owners, etc) that aren't common like Notch and jeb.

As for the abused part, explain to me how it can be abused in that way.

@Master_Rudik : the problem with the whitelist ... DrAgonmoray will have to check the server to see if that server is "serious" but ... imagine, a fake user connect (because if the server don't have authMe or other auth plugin he can without any problem) he can take the identity of the real user without any problem because the server is white-listed.

@DrAgonmoray : I have a little suggestion, a little optimization : Can you add a admin command to deactivate the globalChat ... globally ? just stopping the receive thread and returning from the onChat ?

Because if a user begin to spam, it will spam all connected server then it's allow the admin to stop the chat to avoid the spam, or maybe add some kind of mute command. To mute a foreign guy.

 

That sounds nice. I will add a mute command and a deactivate command. The mute command will add specific users to a blacklist. I'll make the blacklist/mutelist get saved to a file so they can nevar spam you again.

But seriously, is anybody using the global chat right now? I'm not getting any chat on my end

 

@DrAgonmoray : Well sry, I have only offline-server ^^' ah other idea for these server, add a check for authMe or other auth plugin. If this plugin is detected, then your plugin will be activated for offline server (just trying to found a way to make it works for offline server)

Code:

if (getServer().getOnlineMode()) {
BLAH
      this.log.info(this.prefix + pdfFile.getName() + " version " + pdfFile.getVersion() + " is enabled!");
    } else {
//add this line :
      setEnabled(false);
      this.log.severe(this.prefix + "GlobalChat will not function in offline mode to prevent identity theft. Please put your server in online mode.");
    }

It's just a little optimization in case of other plugin try to access your plugin.

 

By abusing, I mean that users could open multiple instances of Minecraft on their computer and connect to multiple GlobalChat servers. Then they're effectively duplicating themselves over multiple servers.

I'm pretty sure that still works sometimes. It used to, not sure right now. Haven't used it in a while.

 

That auth plugin check idea might work.
And I didn't know about the setEnabled thing. I'll add that now. Here's what it was:

PHP:

        if (getServer().getOnlineMode()) {
            pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.PLAYER_CHAT, playerListener, Priority.Monitor, this);
            pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.PLAYER_QUIT, playerListener, Priority.Monitor, this);
            getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, gcRunnable, 0, 60);
            log.info(prefix + pdfFile.getName() + " version " + pdfFile.getVersion() + " is enabled!");
        } else {
            log.severe(prefix+"GlobalChat will not function in offline mode to prevent identity theft. Please put your server in online mode.");
        }

Thanks!

 

I know what it is ^^ java decompiler
It's how I know that the idea I'm proposing are realisable.

@Master_Rudik : yup that completely true... the same player could be connected to X other location in the same time, but I think that now he will get some warning saying he's connected to other location too.

mmmh maybe add some kind of priority, prioritize online server (in case of the same user is connected to a online and offline) meaning that, only send his message from the online server.

 

That's a little scary. You could probably find some way to break it since you have that

 

Can you add Ichat integration as well?

 

Version 1.2

• Added a small config
• Added muting/unmuting
• Fixed a few small things and increased efficiency a bit.
• Figured out that I had the Beta 1.0 download link when it said Beta 1.2 (apparently that's why the 1.0 download count kept going up, lol.)

Yeah, so apparently nobody had version 1.1. XD

Hey, it's the guy that I was talking to in the chat!
What kind of integration do you mean?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I'd love to see some HeroChat integration, so small servers don't have to be spammed if large servers are using this

edit: perhaps a default "serverchat" would work for a default channel that works with this plugin?

 

HeroChat hasn't been updated in a while last I saw.

 

True, however it's still working on all the recent RB's
