[b]True Global Chat Between Servers[/b]

[i]After seeing The-Stone's addon for global chat between servers,
something I have wanted to do for awhile but haven't been bothered to do so.
I decided to write one myself.

This global chat addon utilizes gm_oosocks module written by me,
which allows a large group of servers to communicate between each other.

This uses a single UDP socket to send and receive messages between each server.[/i]

[b]For the people who just want the addon, I'll just cut the crap and give you a download link. [/b]

I will only provide a SVN link: [url]http://gmod-haza.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/P2PChat/[/url]

[b]To setup, simply modify garrysmod\addons\p2pchat\lua\autorun\__p2pchat_init.lua[/b].
The instructions on what to do are all listed there.

The default chat prefixes are "]]" for global chat. "[[" for global admin chat.

If you have any question don't be afraid to ask.

quite nice :D

[Wiles]

Awesome.

[Lexic]

Pff.
We're going to finish gchat anyway.

[LuaStoned]

It's quite nice.

so for the ports, do all of them need to be the same, or are they all different?

[QUOTE=bob builder;17448432]so for the ports, do all of them need to be the same, or are they all different?[/QUOTE]

Generally, they should all be different.

[bob builder]

Now, on my box I have two servers on the same IP, but on different ports, should I use the gameserver ports, or open ports?

[SEKCobra]

Can I haz your babies?

[QUOTE=bob builder;17448739]Now, on my box I have two servers on the same IP, but on different ports, should I use the gameserver ports, or open ports?[/QUOTE]

The ports should be [b]unused ports[/b]

For example on the
[b]First server[/b]
[lua]
// Comma sperated table of all the other servers. This does not include this server.
// Format is {"IP", Port}
local const_P2PPeers = {{"192.168.1.3", 28030}};

local const_P2PListenIP = "192.168.1.3";
local const_P2PListenPort = 28025;
[/lua]

[b]Second server[/b]
[lua]
// Comma sperated table of all the other servers. This does not include this server.
// Format is {"IP", Port}
local const_P2PPeers = {{"192.168.1.3", 28025}};

local const_P2PListenIP = "192.168.1.3";
local const_P2PListenPort = 28030;
[/lua]

P2P chat isn't really the best of ideas for this. A centralised server would probably be a better approach but it's totally open to abuse sadly.

[bob builder]

Well, if you don't want to waste processing power on a central server, then P2P chat is awesome!

Central server would add more complexity.

This ^ is what I was trying to do. Might finish it somewhen.

[gynlorf]

Sorry for bump, but how do I go about using this with PHP? (Mainly just for sending data to the servers; data coming in is already done)

[SEKCobra]

Learn LUA & PHP?

[gynlorf]

Hey, I'm sorry that I've never had to use sockets in my life. Cut me some slack here.

[bob builder]

Mine isn't working /cry

[darthkatzs]

Sry for this bump, but can anyone help me get this working in DarkRP. It doesnt recognise the commands. I changed it several times, but no succes. I have no problems in my other servers, it's only DarkRP.

[-Delta-]

How to install it ?
i have it on my two server.
what now ?
THX

[stuky4ever]

Is this addon still functional? I tried it and it did not work.

[Slayer3032]

You should update this for your OOSocks module.

[Pizzi]

This error in my server console.

error loading module 'luasocket' from file 'c:\sandbox\orangebox\garrysmod\lua\includes\modules\gm_luasocket.dll'

[/QUOTE]

The lua socket module is [B][U]DEAD[/U][/B]
Use OOSocks instead

[stuky4ever]

Does the script need to be rewritten for it to function with OOSocks? Or can we just install OOSocks for it to work?

rewritten, unless someone makes a wrapper... Just wait for a rewrite.

[haza55]

Updated for use with gm_oosocks.

this lags my server AND kills my CPU...

So if im having servers xx.xx.xxx.xx:27027 and xx.xx.xxx.xx:27028
Should it look like this?

// Comma sperated table of all the other servers. This does not include this server.
// Format is {"IP", Port}
local const_P2PPeers = {{"xx.xx.xxx.xx", 27027}};

local const_P2PListenIP = "xx.xx.xxx.xx";
local const_P2PListenPort = 27028;

// Comma sperated table of all the other servers. This does not include this server.
// Format is {"IP", Port}
local const_P2PPeers = {{"xx.xx.xxx.xx", 27028}};

local const_P2PListenIP = "xx.xx.xxx.xx";
local const_P2PListenPort = 27027;

?

Because for some reason i don't get this to work :<

I also tryed ports what arent in use. :< still don't work
