Inactive [CHAT] IRCTransport 0.13.0 - Minecraft Chat/IRC Integration[1.2.3-R0.2]

This Bukkit plugin replaces minecraft chat system with a connection to an IRC Server. All IRC Connections happen Bukkit server side, so either run your own IRC server, or make sure that you are allowed to use mutiple connections on the IRC server of your choice.
Available settings:

Put these in IRCTransport/plugin.yml file with appropriate values.

suppress:
  initial_userlist: false
  initial_topic: false

Normal Settings:

Your config.yml will look a lot like this:

Code:

server:
  address: irc.example.com
default:
  channels:
    - channel: '#minecraft'

Available commands:

Code:

/join #channel [key]
/leave #channel
/channel #channel -- changes your active channel
/msg user -- send a private message to a user

I already submitted a color fix to hef on github and he has since then released 0.5. See github for the most recent source code.

 

Oh well, i just patched 0.5 for now again, also added permissions (EssGrpMan) prefix support~

 

*waits for .6 update impatiently*
I've had to remove the mod from my plugin directory, people stopped going to my server because of the disconnections. =_=

 

Version 0.6 is up.
Reconnection support added. Each agent will attempt to reconnect every 20 seconds after a connection failure.

 

Woo!

 

How do you set a port?
I have tried all these combinations to no avail, either get UnknownHostExceptions, or just a crash:

Code:

irc.server=localhost:7667
irc.server=localhost 7667
irc.server=irc.external-name.com:7667
irc.server=irc.external-name.com 7667

Thanks for any assistance.

 

IRCTransport does not currently support non standard irc ports or port specification. That looks like a good feature though.

 

I would be much appreciative.
Instead of needing to parse out the irc.server with nasty string splitting code, perhaps just adding a simple irc.port would be the most simple?

Thank you much.

EDIT:
Also, I would not use this, but I notice that pircbot's Connect method can take a Connect(serverName, serverPort, serverPassword), so perhaps an irc.serverpassword or just an irc.password to round it out as well or so?

 

Version 0.6, 0.7 are bugged. They both don't handle disconnections properly. I was distracted from working on 0.8 becuase of the [inactive] flag on this forum post. I think this plug in was flagged inactive because I missed a change in the plugin release guidelines where latest tested version is now mandatory. I "reported" the plugin announcement to try and get moved back to the plugin release forum. For anyone using this plugin, I assure you I have not abandoned the project.

irc.port and irc.password are now supported.

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

 

Absolutely awesome, I look forward to testing it.
I set up a port redirect to pass 7667 to 6667 on the current box so I worked around it for now, but will be glad to get rid of that.
And I did notice the disconnection issue, especially once I logged back in and found 30 duplicates of one person, 18 of another, and so forth... ;-)

 

Great job hef,
but your plugin seems to have conflict with iChat -- I configured some format & coloring in iChat, and now I have different format:
[#irc_channel] user: message
I was just wondering, can your plugin have iChat support or something like that ?
That would be awful.

And hef,
could you please add irc.channel.key (or something like that) when joining to irc.autojoin (it is a kind of password for entering the IRC channel, not IRC server password) -- you don't have to code anything, just call (in class hef.IRCTransport.Connect, method run) this method if irc.channel.key is not empty:

Code:

void org.jibble.pircbot.PircBot.joinChannel(String channel, String key)

instead of what you are calling now:

Code:

void org.jibble.pircbot.PircBot.joinChannel(String channel)

I love this plugin, but am having no luck with 0.8 and CB602.

This is probably a pretty simple fix, but I haven't touched java in a really long time.

 

*nudge b617jnks (MC: 1.4)

[SEVERE] Nag author: 'hef' of 'IRCTransport' about the following: onPlayerJoin has been replaced with a new signature, (PlayerJoinEvent)

Awesome mod all around, works fine so far as I can tell with the latest builds, no issues other than the nag.

 

Thank you! I have a fix for this ready for the next release.

Thank you.

I am having trouble reproducing this exact error, but I suspect that the error was replaced with the nag that NynjaWitay posted.

I see no reason not to support channel keys. I'll work on adding that.

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

 

I was thinking maybe you could add a way to (optionally) add things before/after the nicks to allow easier integration with "normal-use" irc servers, ie:

Code:

irc.prefix=[
irc.suffix=]

would make it so my user on mc -- "duckinator" -- would connect as "[duckinator]" to irc.

(I'd personally just use irc.suffix=[mc] but what I said demonstartes both

* EDIT: 8th time's a charm? My fingers aren't cooperating.

 

Does it work with 1.4? I'm running craftbukkit 612 and getting this error on the server start:

These settings are in my server.properties:

Code:

irc.server= irc.bytesized-hosting.com
irc.port=6697
irc.password=
irc.autojoin= #virtualism
irc.autojoinkey=
irc.verbose=false 

(I've tried it with and without spaces after the'=', consistently, but to no avail.)
Downloaded it 10 minutes ago. Running Debian 6, if that matters. Tried chowning/chmodding and changing port.

EDIT: Same deal with cb 617.

 

Thanks for the 0.9 update. It seems to be working okay with CB617. Running a "reload" cause me to join the channel twice. All of my chat messages showed twice.

I have a feature request. My minecraft name and IRC nickname are the same. That means that when I connect, I become nynjawitay2. This isn't that big of a deal, but I was wondering if you could add an option like "irc.nickprefix" so that everyone in minecraft will be distinguished. It is possible to use the "/nick" command, but that doesn't stick. If that could be made to stick, that would be awesome, too.

 

Please Help ^^
I always get the following Error:

using this now, it looks awesome, but would be cool if it could have a better integration with iChat 2

 

As hef mentioned earlier in this thread, this plugin is not suitable for most IRC networks. Please do not use this plugin on Esper if you plan to have a server with more than 4 player slots.

 

A what...?

 

It looks like you have a space after 6697, try removing it.

The join command is meant to be run by the player, not the server. I should handle this error more gracefully.

This usually happens when the plugin can't connect to the specified irc server. You may want to post your settings from irc.properties.

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

 

It would be great if we could specify prefix/suffix for the initial nick. ie: Username|MC or MC|Username

Thanks for the mod.

 

For shame, Virtualism. Thanks. That fixed it. (Well, and setting the port to 6667, but both were relevant.)

I second that pre/suffix idea. theres a plugin for that! HeroChat.

 

You could change the name of the bot to Minecraftbot or something else .. here:

(located in Pircbot.java)

Could you add an Auth function too?

Like that .

BTW: Great Plugin!

getting this now and then, restarting server doesn't seem to help

craftbukkit 733
irctransport 0.9

 

This looks like the connection to the IRC Server from your bukkit server is getting reset or temporarily dropped. It looks like the irc client would stay disconnected after this error, I'll make an adjustment so that the agent tries to reconnect afterwords.

 

So I have a supybot sitting in the same channel as IRCTransport is set to. I recently gave the bot permissions and when my friend played "@roulette" he got kicked. IRC shows a kick message, but minecraft does not. This is a bit confusing for people since no one in game realizes that whoever got kicked isn't in chat anymore. Is there a setting to turn those kind's of messages on?

Edit: The join message does display when the player types "/join #channel"

 

This all sounds pretty reasonable. I'll add it.

 

@hef: First off, thank you for the excellent work. This is how an IRC plugin should be done. Seamless integration.

I am however getting the following exception, seemingly at random, when a user connects to the game:

The user is left unable to chat at all (obviously). I haven't seen any real pattern to this occurring.

Thanks again for the excellent work.

EDIT: I dont know what your development environment is like, but it would be extra nice if you could provide build instructions for those of us who don't ever develop in Java. I wouldn't mind trying to fix this, but I have no idea how to build it into a usable .jar!
