Sendere

Did you ever want to have the game send actions to a custom URL for processing into a website? Sendere lets you do that. Simply install Sendere, and set up a listener.

What can Sendere send?

As of version 1.1.1, Sendere can send:

  • Weather changes
  • Players chatting
  • Players going 6 feet under/pushing up daisies/resting in peace/any other way to say "Die" without confusion with changing things' color
  • Players joining
  • Players quitting
  • Players being kicked
  • Player list
  • Pings

How do I set up a listener?

A listener is at a URL, and must support GET. Sendere sends to listeners in this format: http:/ /myamazingwebsite.com/myevenmoreamazinglistener.php?a=Action&b=Info&c=Name

a: The actual action itself: AsyncPlayerChat, PlayerJoin, PlayerQuit, PlayerKick, PlayerDeath, WeatherChange, Ping.

b: What happened in this action. For AsyncPlayerChat, it would be the content of the message. For PlayerKick, it would be the reason. For WeatherChange, it would be the new state, which would be either "Sun" or "Rain". For Ping, it would be the list of players, if enabled. All spaces in b are replaced by "<[;:]>" so that it doesn't cut off the content of the message.

c: The name of the player or world. For AsyncPlayerChat, PlayerJoin, PlayerQuit, PlayerKick, and PlayerDeath, it would be the username of the player. For WeatherChange, it would be the world.

Here is an example of a PHP listener that simply outputs everything to a log file:

<?php
if( @$_GET[ "a" ] ){ //Determines if it's a server sending data, or just a web crawler.
        if( @$_GET[ "b" ] )
                $b = str_replace( "<[;:]>", " ", @$_GET[ "b" ] ); //Turns "<[;:]>" back into spaces.
        
        file_put_contents( "serverActions.txt", "\n" . "[a]" . $_GET[ "a" ] . ":::[b]" . @$b . ":::[c]" . @$_GET[ "c" ], FILE_APPEND ); //Outputs everything to a log file.
}
?>

Why do I need this?

This helps to bring the experience of the game to your server's website. With knowledge of Internet scripting, you could use it to:

  • Show online players
  • Display current server weather
  • Show what everyone on the server is talking about
  • Tally peoples' deaths
  • Show if the server is running or closed
  • Inflict punishment on your Forum for being kicked from the game
  • Send e-mail to server staff when a player is kicked
  • And so much more!

Some selected items from that list have had tutorials made!
