Cardian: Discord/FFXI Integration

looks good man. definitely interesting, will have to take a look.

Looks great, but why u no ashita?

I'm sure it can be done. I've never messed with Ashita myself, though. I can make it if enough demand, for sure.

Dope looking.

Yup, going to mess around and get this up and running this week for the LS! Looks great Gamer....thank you bro!

Some small -- but significant -- fixes.

Previously, the person running Cardian_Addon's linkshell contributions didn't show up in Discord. This is because linkshell_in and linkshell_out are handled differently. They both parse and appear in Discord now.

Previously, Cardian replaced anything between "<" and ">" with "<Discord Content>". This was to prevent showing user_id in linkshell (which Discord supplies when a user is pinged). It prevented running any FFXI commands using "<" and ">" from processing (<t>, <bt>, <hpp>, etc). This is fixed. It can now differentiate between Discord and FFXI "<" / ">" commands.

Addressed a screenshot issue where the file name was incorrect so no action was taken.

Updated to version 0.0.0.5
New Discord functions:

• !linkshellin - toggles linkshell incoming messages to the linkshell channel

• !linkshellout - toggles linkshell outgoing messages from linkshell channel (or any channel using "/l <message>")

Added long message handling:
Message longer than the maximum are split on the last whitespace before the max. Remaining message sent as additional message(s).
Fixed (??) Discord Emojis:
Things like ":)" and ":D" would convert to Japanese characters in game. This is fixed by running the messages through a filter. The replacement, while still ugly (just a string of "?" for each character), is in English.

Updated to version 2018.6.25.1

• Added the ability to define multiple bot admins in discord_info.

• Added the ability to have the bot report to multiple channels for shout/tell/linkshell messages.

• All error messages besides tell failure deemed superfluous as the rest are generated while user is playing. Removed.

This is the first update that requires a new version of discord_info. I will generally try to avoid updating it but it was unavoidable to add this functionality without doing so. Apologies.

Yes this is the easiest setup program iv ever encoutered and your documetation of how to install is not at all confusing or vague DO this Do this DO not do this well how can i run the addon if its not in windower directory been messin with this for hrs no luck yet

Edit: Fixed my own mistake

This is amazing! Thank you for this :)

Is there a way for multi-user integration? Like multiple people being able to whisper or talk to linkshell from their own character?

Edit 2:

Found a bug(?)..if you have the bat file set up so it loads the bot automatically when you load the addon, and then reload the addon in game it will launch another bot instance, and doubles up every incoming messages/outgoing command. I assume this means you can infinitely do this and that can cause either some major issues/crashing or possible exploits with the use of other addons.

Do you have a discord we could use for a little support?

You ever get a response to a discord help server? I'm at the last step of loading cardian_bot with luvit. CMD window opens and then closes.

You'll probably need to double check that your Bot is completely active on the discord developer side and that your bots token information is correct.

Info is correct, bot is inactive.

I can see the addon txt files are pulling data from the game, just not translating it to discord.

Happy to help, the setup can be a pain! It's worth it once it's all set!

Hit me on Discord and we'll get it straightened out!

I've begun work on Cardian 2.0. Conceptually, this is a beautiful project that I feel needs to exist. Programmatically, it's a mess that works through stubbornness and magic. I look forward to sharing the new one soon!

Happy New Year ;)

Happy New Year, and Im looking forward to this!

went thru all the steps flawlessly ....minus 1....

lit install SinisterRectus/discordia

get error all in red... not recognizede

got it .... the ".\lit" command made it happen for me

Just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone has this addon currently working if they'd be interested in helping me troubleshoot?

Having the luvit console window auto-close after saying

>Discordia 2.8.2
>Connecting Discord...
>Authenticated as FFXI Chat####
>Launching shard 0 (1 out of 1)...
>Shard 0 : Connected to wss://gateway.discord.gg
>Shard 0 : Received HELLO
>Shard 0 : Received READY
>Logged in as FFXI Chat

The console auto-closes when it can't detect an active addon instance.

My guess would be either you don't have the addon running on a logged-in character, or the addon_path= line in your discord_info.lua is pointing to the wrong folder.

I can confirm addon is running on a logged on character. There's output to a Cardian.luato_discord.txt log in the addon folder. Addon path is also correct. Which version of Discordia are you running? Gamergiving mentioned that might be what is giving me trouble.
