Post Lord Tim's "IRC Scene"
So, uh, Lua is pretty neato guys. I mean really spot on. This is good stuff.

Seriously.

I present:
The Cortex Command Internet Relay Chat Scene


Internetting graciously provided by LuaSocket.

The current default channel for IRC Scene is: irc://cortex.datarealms.com/#CortexIRC
Feel free to join and mess with people. Spam limits will be strictly enforced for obvious reasons.

To actually connect to the IRC, you must start this Scene from the Campaign screen. If you load it from Skirmish, the lua file will not be run.

Console commands: (You can type these into the console (~))
All arguments, providing they are required, are to be entered in string format. I.E. use double quotes: IRC:Say("Hello.")

  • IRC:Help() --Prints out this list
  • IRC:Say(words) --sends text to the IRC channel
  • IRC:Join(newroom) --joins a different channel (!functions will no longer work) (default #CortexIRC)
  • IRC:Nick(newnick) --changes your nickname (default CCLUA####)
  • IRC:Identify(pass) --sends your password to nickserv (you must be already registered)
  • IRC:Quit() --leaves the IRC server (does not end the scene)
  • IRC:Verbose() --toggles printing raw irc to console (default off)
  • IRC:UserList() --prints the user list of the current channel to console (requires verbose to be on)

IRC-side stuff you can do:
This will probably be added to in the future. (Updates can be made to your own version of the .lua file, and will work automatically)
These effect everyone who is connected to the channel from IRC Scene, so if you join the channel, and type !crab, everyone who is connected from CC will get a crab spawned on them.

  • !crab --spawns a crab on the player
  • !holyrays --shiny lights, and adds 25 health to the player
  • !spawndropship --spawns a dropship loaded with randomized enemies
  • !givemoney X --gives the player X money. If you use this from IRC:Say(), it takes this money from your player.

To install this scene you MUST have LuaSocket. (Included in the download)

IRC Scene is located here:

Check it out, yo:

Consoley awesome:

Also, as an excuse for the actual terrain being so boring, I made these:

Have fun; don't break ♥♥♥♥.

P.S. This really works.

P.P.S. When you get banned in the Matrix Cortex Command you get banned in the real IRC, too.


How to install scene:

If you just extract the .rar to your Cortex Command folder, it'll work, but if you're the kind of person who breaks things:

Place the "IRCScene.rte" folder in your Cortex Command folder like you usually would.
Place the "lua" folder in your Cortex Command folder. Not in "Base.rte". Not in "IRCScene.rte".
Place the "socket" folder in your Cortex Command folder. Not in "Base.rte". Not in "IRCScene.rte".
Place the "Lua5.1.dll in your Cortex Command folder. Not in "Base.rte". Not in "IRCScene.rte".

After that, your Cortex Command folder should look something like this: (Plus any other mods you might have)

P.P.P.S. Please PM or post here any errors you get as soon as you can. That way I can fix them as soon as I can.

Well that's definitely a good sign for the possibilities of Lua. Dear god I hope there's going to be a number of display and interface functions so we can make sexy GUIs.

Now I'm all hot for documentation so we can know what all this stuff does. And if you thought I was excited for THIS build... oh boy. I'm drooling thinking about the next one.

Yes, but it will be incredibly laggy if you play online.

LordTim, once again: You are a god of modding. Trying this ASAP.

Also, technically, LordTim has created (or is currently in the process of making, I can't tell) Internet play. Total strangers can interact with your game now (ie: Crabs, money, etc.). In theory, one could act as the CPU brain from an IRC chatroom once he/anyone else implements more complex commands. Clone cannon vs. Player ftw.

This is really swell Mister!

But you'd think there'd be more scenes with portals in them by now...
I'll get to work on that on the Plane Flight back to home, unless I get beaten to it by posting this idea up here...
Eh, I'll do it anyway for practice.

Anyway Tim, you've finally solved my problem so my love of FullScreen and IRC can finally co-exist.

Internet play will be "The Cool" if implemented properly.
