[WIP] PA Community Hub

Progress report!

Me talking to myself, showing colorised nicks:

Same as before but with the online user list shown:


Current new features:

• All names are colorised
• Toggle-able online user list
• Reports joins, parts, kicks, and quits
• Reports nick changes

Things which still need to be done:

• Reporting kills
• Deal with the ctcp messages
• Handle the invite command
• Colors are random right now, choose a better scheme for uniqueness

Advanced features:

• Parse the input field for irc commands
• Tab autocompletion for nicks and channels
• Storing previous sent items (so you can up arrow to them)

REQ - (or maybe I'm stupid and missed something) Keep me logged in button

EDIT: Also, should the game plugin only show the top 10? And if possible a searchable ladder would be awesome

@dom314 that is looking amazing.

It's on the todo list - check this post for (an incomplete) list of things I need/want to do yet. Crossed out items are implemented locally, but not released yet.

That's a limitation of the data that Uber provides - the call to get the ladder information for each tier only returns the top 10. Searchable may be possible, as I think I can get specific data on a person.

What is the point of doing a search if you only see the top 10 anyway xD

I mean an all-player search. I think you can get the rank of an arbitrary player.

really?

A guess, but it's able to retrieve your own ranking; I surmise that it should be possible to use whatever call it's doing to get that, for any player.

Afaik the call it uses is something like "getMyRank" and it accepts a session id as parameter. So you can get the rank for a session id. Good luck getting session id's

@raevn, here is the github repo: https://github.com/domdom/com.pahub.content.plugin.irc
You will need to install the node-irc module for this plugin to work. I could not find a nice way to do a relative "require" since the script is loaded dynamically.
node-irc: https://github.com/martynsmith/node-irc/tree/0.3.x

You can use the folder parameter that is passed into the load function to get the location of the plugin directory, eg, if you have node-irc in the following folder: content/plugin/com.pahub.content.plugin.irc/node_modules/irc
Then this will load it (within load_plugin_irc):

Code:

irc = require(path.join(folder, 'node_modules', 'irc'));

Derp! I'll update the github repo.

I added the folder argument after I had the exact same issue trying to display an image in stored in a plugin's directory.

Thing is though, I saw you using it in your code, and I even used it to load my html view. And then I totally forgot about it .

@raevn , found a bug I think.
When my plugin loads, it's tab is automatically selected? I am not sure if that is intended behaviour. Anyway, here is the bug.
Right after load:

(there is no #IRC tab)
But then if I select another section:
The #IRC tab then shows up.

Having a look at your code it seems it's because the observable array for the current tabs is only updated on section change. I think it could be fixed by making it a pureComputed?

Yep, definitely should have been a computed function, but every time I try to make it one it doesn't work . I've updated the addTab function to fix the issue in the meantime.

I had similar issues with my code too, though I managed to fix it by eliminating all the short circuit evaluation in the ko.computed function. Turns out an early return makes ko recognise a different set of dependants.

Pulled my hair out all morning. Then found there was an update to ko deferred to fix a bug that caused the issue I was having . All working now.
