I'm here to introduce, and open for discussion, rAthena's Inter Server Chat Network (RISCN/ISCN). What is it does Example #0 Server Epoque has a public cchannel at irc.rathena.org, #SEpoque GM Epoque is not at home, but he is carrying his smartphone which has a irc client.GM Epoque is able to talk with his in-game players from #SEpoque channel. Example #1 Guild Epoque has a password-protected channel at irc.rathena.org, #Gepoque Guild Epoque member CK is currently playing at vsfRO Guild Epoque member Maki is currently playing at IndROCK and Maki are able to talk between themselves and other members of Guild Epoque through #Gepoque even though they are online in different servers. Example #2 CKRO Server owner doesn't want to have his server chat accessible from outside the game.CKRO Disables the public area of the channel and grants his server a closed version of the chat network for his players to use. How does it work To begin with, rathena-wise, It replaces @main functionality (reducing @main overhead by about 50% -- less code). Players are given a "mini irc client" They can join/create channels/whatever all the irc stuff. The connections, messages and settings are all handled by rathena's new, custom-tailored-by-me, irc server. IRC Server Why creating a new server from scratch: I didn't like ours. It's messy, lots of redundancy and horribly hard to customize. It's mostly done, about to ~ 2k lines of code only. Y U WASTING TIME ON THAT. RENEWAL STUFF NAW tbh I was pretty tired so if I werent to do this I'd be doing something else e.g. playing hon. I'd rather do something for rathena.

Like I have a GameMasters Room and when a GM enters it, he automatically chats in the #GM channel of irc. So all conversation is posted in irc and of course the other way around, everything that is said in the channel is posted ingame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pretty good idea. Question: Would it affect server's stability somehow? like lag or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth the time investment into coding this? You can assume how many want this by the popularity of this topic and the staff that are voting for it or discussing it. Also, Ind answer the 'time investment' part indirectly I believe: Y U WASTING TIME ON THAT.

Also, Ind answer the 'time investment' part indirectly I believe: I don't think the number of replies in this topic has any correlation to how many actual server owners want/will use the feature. I'm not against the idea, just trying to be practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
