Okay, i have updated the GMCP plugin, here the link to download this files:


http://www.mediafire.com/file/e0mitudtzyh/gmcp.plugin.zip



Please remember as this plugin is currently in beta stage since i have few bugs to fix.. however, it is mostly good to go anyway! A example file can be found in "test_client.lua" file. That show the example how to listen to GMCP plugin(PPI required!).finally, a document regards about information on GMCP is under the document folder within zipfile.


Let me know if I am missing anything, post in this thread please. THANKS!
:)

I'm taking a peek at it right now. First thing I suggest, though, is changing GMCP_RGM.xml to plugin.xml. It's a bit more future-proof if every plugin has a plugin.xml, since you can have automated tools that go through any *.plugin/ folder to look for the plugin.xml. Otherwise you might (and do, I notice) have other *.xml files in the plugin, and it wouldn't be able to tell which one to use.


Minor nit for the test thingy: You can use require("tprint") instead of require("libraries.tprint"). It'll automatically look in the *.plugin/libraries/ folder first thanks to Plugger, and as a bonus it'll fall back to MUSHclient/lua/ if it doesn't find it there first. Since tprint comes pretty standard with MUSHclient, you could remove it from your libraries/ folder if you wanted.


EDIT: Hmm, interesting. Why did you copy libraries/plugger.xml into GMCP_RGM.xml? You can use an <include> tag to include Plugger, which would automatically call require("scripts.main") for you. (Which is another thing. Why is main.lua in the root plugin folder instead of scripts/main.lua? I mean, hey, if this is all working that's great. I'm just curious.)

EDIT 2: You can't use ReloadPlugin() to reload the calling plugin:

Documentation said:
However, a plugin cannot reload itself. That would mean the script was deleted out from under itself.

I have a problem with unused tag, '$PLUGINDIR', a given error by mushclient. so that why i am forced to temporarily included the code of it to GMCP_RGM.xml. only temporarily solution until i find out why that tag don't work for me on my client. I assumed it might have worked for you somehow.

<include name="$PLUGINDIR\libraries\plugger.xml" />

duly noted, however, tprint wont work when i tried to require tprint from mushclient folder. so, that why i moved it to my gmcp's library folder. Furthermore, my GMCP plugin directory is outside the realm of mushclient directory and that is probably reason why it wont work. (I think).

good point, i will rename it then. I will try to upload this GMCP plugin to Github. Eventually.

Huh. What version of MUSHclient are you using, and what error does it give you? Also, do any of my plugins have that issue? They all use Plugger, too.

I just moved some stuff around and added the Plugger include tag back in, and it installed fine. (The plugin also works fine, so kudos there too! Haven't had a chance to muck with it more though.)

Hm. Probably not, I'm pretty sure MUSHclient sets the default require() paths to be relative to the MUSHclient executable. Interesting, though.

Awesome! I was going to suggest that. :)


EDIT: Do you mind if I mess around with the plugin's internals a bit and send you what I change?

Very minor nit, but I've seen it said in several places that Lua is generally indented with 2 spaces instead of tabs. Generally I have to agree, especially since Notepad expands the things to 8 spaces, which is like whooooooooa. *laughs*

I don't honestly expect you to change your habits on my whim, but I thought I'd point it out. :)

heh. :) i am using Notepad++ at the moment, i will look into the config about that one.

okay, now that i have created repo of gmcp.plugin and it is now available at GITHUB:


http://github.com/druuimai/gmcp.plugin


cheer.

EDIT: for some reason the include tag now worked... weird anyhow. it could be my computer teasing me, mushclient teasing me, or a devilishly imp trying to mess with me. :p

I found a protocol issue. It apparently works, but strictly speaking it's breaking the spec. There are to be no spaces immediately after IAC SB GMCP, or immediately before IAC SE. You have spaces on both sides of the Core.Hello and Core.Supports.Set messages in OnPluginTelnetRequest.

Another issue is that you have MUSHclient's version hardcoded in the Core.Hello message. You can use Version() to get the current version.

fixing.

EDIT: can you elaborate on by your example. I may be confused a bit by your explanation. For instance, you say that there are to be no spaces immediately after IAC SB GMCP. I see no problem in the code unless you are implying that i am to add '\n' after that?

You've got a function UnListen, but the PPI.Expose call is referring to Unlisten (lowecase L). Personally, I prefer the lowercased name, but either way, it's not getting exposed.


Oh, and you can change all this:

PPI.Expose("Listen", function (info, callback) Listen(info, callback) end)
PPI.Expose("Unlisten", function(info) Unlisten(info) end)
PPI.Expose("UnListenAll", function(PluginIDx) UnListenAll(PluginIDx) end)


To this:

PPI.Expose("Listen", Listen)
PPI.Expose("Unlisten", Unlisten)
PPI.Expose("UnlistenAll", UnlistenAll)


No need for an intermediary function, since all you're doing is calling it yourself with the same arguments. Just pass the function itself. (I changed the lowercase things in that snippet, so careful with copying.)


EDIT: I'm not sure we need an ATTEMPTED variable either. If the server asks you, you should respond. Also, MUSHclient handles negotiation loops so we don't have to.

okay thanks for a tip.. By the way, I have edited my previous post if you havent seen it changed that i have raised a question regarding your protocol problem.

Lets assume IAC = 1, SB = 2, GMCP = 3, and SE = 4. This is what you have:
123 Message.Name {Content} 14


This is what you're supposed to have:
123Message.Name {Content}14



EDIT: In the code, this:
[[ Core.Hello { "client" : "Mushclient", "version": "4.51"} ]]


Should be this:
[[Core.Hello { "client" : "Mushclient", "version": "4.51"}]]


Otherwise you're adding spaces before and after inside the long string.

Personally, though, I just added this function so it's handled in one single place.

function SendGMCP(message, content)
  SendPkt(codes.IAC_SB_GMCP .. json.encode(content) .. codes.IAC_SE)
end


(I took the codes table from my ATCP plugin and dropped it into this one, as you can see.)

I use it like:

SendGMCP("Core.Hello", {client="MUSHclient", version=Version()})



Still untested as of this post, but I'll be testing it shortly.
