RC Chat Window?

[Gunderak]

I couldnt think of a title.
Anywy as some of you may know im trying to make a rc chat window for iDevices.
Is there any way to get the latest rc line? in this section of the class.

PHP Code:

  temp.replace = {
                   {"RCCHAT", rc.chat.window?}
                 };

There are only a few ways to get the RC chat:
1. Setting up logging on your RC and having a program watch the file for changes
2. Having a script hook into onRCChat() on someone's client and get the line by line there.

I am not even going to being trying to make sense of all this. But, couldn't you tell the control-NPC to send the chat going into and out from RC to a web server, then tell your iDevice app to retrieve the data from that web server? I don't even know how to do it, but wouldn't that work?

Yes id assume thats how itd work, but i am really unsure of how i could incorperate this into cbk1994's web server. i know how to script it but now using his system.
also @fowlplay you'd probably be able to answer this.
how would i add more items in the temp. array? iv'e tried and it doesnt seem to work.

What do you mean by "add more items"? What have you tried so far? It's just an array.

No, because as Jer said, there are only really those two (known?) ways to get regular RC chat. There is no script function for it.

Well like to add more things to be replaced to the array, how would you go about doing it in this case?

PHP Code:

 temp.replace = { 
                   {"Item1", allplayers.size(), "item2", whatever} 
                 }; 


I have tried this.

It's a multi-dimensional array.

PHP Code:

temp.replace = {
  {"item1", whatever},
  {"item2", whatever}
};
