Question: Chat only? #7

Open mkaito opened 6 years ago

mkaito commented 6 years ago

Hey!

Can I run Factocord without the wrapper script? I already manage my server with factorio-init, and would like to keep Factocord out of that. I also don't need mod installing or server restarting, but I'd like the chat bridging functionality. Can I do that?

Unfortunately with the way this works, you'll have to use FactoCord as the wrapper. Otherwise, you wont be able to get messages to and from Discord. This is because in order to send messages to the server from Discord, we have to write directly to the servers stdin.

Oh, is that so? I figured you'd grab the PID or use the pipe the server spawns. Have you poked the devs about this, if using the pipe is not possible?
