Feature Request: In-game Chat stream to Discord Text Channel

[PitchBright]

Would it be possible to have the in-game chat stream to a Discord server's text channel? MC to Discord, and Discord to MC… like IRC allows.

This would be configurable, so the server admin can define the name of the text channel, in the mcdiscord.cfg

[CannibalVox]

Eventually, but there's no good way to allow this yet. There will be a large-scale API for discord in the future and then we'll add those features.

[PitchBright]

Awesome. I figured it was premature (to be asking for it), but I wanted to get it down on paper for ya, so the idea didn't get lost for down the road.

Would it be possible to have a Bot pull chat messages from a log written by mcdiscord?

[awade33]

Is there any update on this? I think this is really the most needed feature as the mod doesn't really do much atm so there's no real need to use it.

Agreed with Awade33, I'm looking into setting up a MC->IRC->discord solution and it looks hairy. Would be so nice to just go straight from MC->Discord.

If you get anything working, tomaste, please let me know :)

So here's a possible high level scenario:

1. Find somewhere to host an IRC channel (QuakeNET, Gamesurge, etc.)
2. Register an Admin nick (the network will have a page on how to do that.
3. Register a channel as the admin nick.
4. Register a nick for each MC server that will join
5. Set them to Auto +v (voice) or +o (Operator) in the IRC Channel above.
6. Add Purple IRC (http://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/purpleirc) to each server. (forge and bukkit versions available)
7. host and run this IRC->discord bridge: https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc

I think I can manage all the way up to step 7, but I've never done anything with Linux, so that is where my unknown territory begins.

I've played with Linux a bit. I've got some time tomorrow so I'll try what you've said and get back to you. On 22 Dec 2015 18:06, "tomaste" notifications@github.com wrote:

https://github.com/DV8FromTheWorld/JDA/ This help any? It's the most feature-complete Java Discord library.

[comparison source: https://discordapi.com/unofficial/comparison.html]

[canilsen]

use this instead: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/discordchat

[TehSeph]

@canilsen That's using JDA (the library I linked) lol https://github.com/shadowfacts/DiscordChat

[canilsen]

Exactly. Use that mod instead, since this mod is dead
