[Feature request] external notification plugin (over ntfy.sh)

[sn4dy]

ntfy.sh is a service that allows you to receive custom notifications to the devices it supports from anywhere. like this bot, it is open source, so you can use it on your own server if you want. I use this platform to get notifications from different tools. I would like to have a plugin that I can optionally choose for all events like character leveled up, rare item collected, etc.

@SDClowen if you don't have time for this, I can work on it although I don't have much experience. I saw that events are not called with an enum, it would be good for me if I could have a list of events. In addition, you can guide me to make the part of saving the changes made in the plugin suitable for the project. regards.

Hello, there isn't a complete overview for all events. But you can find them by searching for "EventManager.FireEvent" / "EventManager.SubscribeEvent". The names/locations will tell you when the event is fired. You may want to checkout the existing plugins first. There's no existing system you could use for your notifications so you will defnitely need to subscribe to the events on your own and then execute your notification logic.

Actually I like your idea but as you've already guessed we don't have time for this so I'm looking forward to your contribution 👍

Hi Niklas Thank you for the information. I've been wanting to contribute to this project, and with this plugin I'll be able to make a start. But I'm having some difficulties because I'm not familiar with this ecosystem at all. I thought of copying an existing plugin and making the changes through it, but I couldn't do it. If you make this start for me, I'd like to continue with the other parts.

Why don't u send what you want to Discord using a webhook? That's just a few lines of code

[sn4dy]

In the same way, you can handle it with a few lines of code. Everyone prefers to use some tools in their own way.

[BaroDevelopment]

What exactly do you want to send as notification. Drops, unique spawns etc?

[sn4dy]

Yes, like these...

If you want to create a new plugin make sure that the following steps are done:

1. Create a new .NET 6 library project to /Plugins
2. Make sure that it's built into "Build\Plugins"
3. Add RSBot.Core to the project dependency of your new plugin 3.1. Make sure to not copy "RSBot.Core.dll" to your output directory.
4. Add a new class that implements IPlugin from the core.

Done. See existing plugin's .csproj file for more info reg. the dependency and build directory.

[sn4dy]

Thank you, I will proceed with these steps.

You're welcome. If you have any questions you can PM me (@Wimbeam) in discord.

I've had a second thought about this. Actually you can place your changes into "RSBot.CommandCenter". Ther's even a tab in the UI "Notifications" already. So it's actually even intendet to be in there.

[sn4dy]

It seems like it would be easier to continue from there. I would have to learn how to both create the interface and save the settings when trying to do it as a separate plugin.

[sn4dy]

When the notification related stuff is there, it will be understood as being just for CommandCenter notifications. I think the general notification plugin makes more sense in context, when it's as a separate plugin.

[sn4dy]

This allows you to add multiple providers such as Discord. The user receives notifications from the platform they want.

[sn4dy]

Let me first add the notification part to CommandCenter, and then we can talk about making a separate plugin if you want.
