| 20:03.56 | Zehra | BZSoccer will be starting shortly. :) |
| 20:04.06 | Zehra | All welcomed to join in. |
| 21:56.11 | Zehra | Special thanks to all those who showed up. :) |
| 22:44.32 | Zehra | Something I'm sure has been mentioned a few times, but what if there was a key binding.. for plug-ins? |
| 22:44.57 | blast007 | answer: no |
| 22:55.34 | JeffM | What? |
| 22:56.24 | Zehra | Like if there was a way to have a key binding do something which a plug-in could notice... |
| 22:56.40 | Zehra | "Press 9 for [feature]" |
| 22:57.06 | JeffM | how woudl the client know what plugins are installed on the server and what the actions are... |
| 22:57.15 | JeffM | plugins don't work that way, they have zero interaction with the client |
| 22:57.17 | blast007 | magic, JeffM, magic |
| 22:57.26 | JeffM | holly ghost!!!!!!! |
| 22:57.55 | Zehra | I guess it's a bad idea. |
| 22:58.01 | JeffM | yes.... |
| 22:58.08 | blast007 | yeah, it's a bad idea on multiple levels |
| 22:58.26 | JeffM | you don't want plugins telling the client to do stuff, that way lies malware :) |
| 22:58.35 | JeffM | you can have the plugin read a slash command |
| 22:58.48 | JeffM | and I think you can bind a client macro to a slash command |
| 22:58.52 | JeffM | and thus bind the key to the macro |
| 22:59.11 | blast007 | *eventually* we could have custom dialogs, and that's as far as I can see us going in that direction |
| 22:59.17 | JeffM | yeah |
| 22:59.32 | Zehra | was thinking of pressing "9" for '/mine' |
| 22:59.40 | JeffM | then DO that |
| 22:59.45 | blast007 | and that isn't a 2.6 thing, that'll be 2.8 at the earliest |
| 22:59.45 | JeffM | you can do that in your client now |
| 22:59.51 | JeffM | that's not plugin specific |
| 22:59.58 | JeffM | thats just a client thing |
| 23:00.17 | blast007 | well, not 9, but a quick key at least |
| 23:00.29 | JeffM | some kind of key can be done I'm pretty sure |
| 23:00.55 | blast007 | I know we can set vars from a key, dunno if there's a way to trigger a chat message |
| 23:01.00 | allejo | you don't want to have plugins take over keys or require certain keys to be available, what if someone already has 9 binded to moving up |
| 23:01.20 | allejo | in order for them to play on a server with a plugin, you have to make them change their bindings? |
| 23:01.23 | blast007 | allejo: laying a mine is more important that forward motion! |
| 23:01.28 | allejo | :p |
| 23:01.51 | allejo | quick keys for slash commands are the way to go for that since they don't interfere with client features |
| 23:02.06 | blast007 | map it to Alt+F4 |
| 23:06.57 | JeffM | just remember Zehra everytime you say "plug-in" or "API" you are just talking about "the server" |
| 23:30.13 | JeffM | aww, you never split my console post into it's own thread blast007 |
| 23:31.16 | blast007 | I will |
| 23:32.23 | JeffM | I do feel a little bad about hijacking the hijacking |
| 23:32.30 | JeffM | but only a little |
