xlobby contol using external event

[mfergusson]

Hi,

Is there any way xlobby can be controlled by an external event?

I need a way to get xlobby to goto a screen when it receives a certain event/command (without a user navigating to get there).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

My plugin xPerT is designed to do just that... but im sure there exists plenty of other choiges too.

Thanks. However the two pages that actualy reference the file itself don't seem to work as in http://81.197.221.50/xPerT.dll

Any other suggestions from anybody? I only need a simple event checker, goto screen requirement at this stage.

Actually, funny enough I am using Girder, but Girder will SEND the event. xlobby needs to take the event (in whatever form, which could even be a variable setting), then move the focus to a screen within xlobby.

Thanks.

try this plugin :

XReceive

Use XSend.exe with theses parameters :

Code: Select all

command:<group name>:<command name>
command:<group name>:<command name>:<parameter1>
command:<group name>:<command name>:<parameter1>:<parameter2>
command:<group name>:<command name>:<parameter1>:<parameter2>:<parameter3>
command:<group name>:<command name>:<parameter1>:<parameter2>:<parameter3>:<parameter4>

Code: Select all

plugin:command:<parameter1>
plugin:command:<parameter1>:<parameter2>
plugin:command:<parameter1>:<parameter2>:<parameter3>
plugin:command:<parameter1>:<parameter2>:<parameter3>:<parameter4>

I am quite interested in this plugin, but cannot get it to function....could I get some clarification, please?

[packstlaurent]

You have to put XReceive.dll in the Xlobby's plugin directory.Then you execute XSend.exe in command line with parameter the command of your choice.

For example :

Code: Select all

XSend.exe "command:xlobby:goto screen:menu"


or

Code: Select all

XSend.exe "command:xlobby:save to variable:Hello world !:information"


I hope you will get it to function.

Hi Pack,

Many thanks for this - this will do the trick!

However, when I run as described I get "Error no connection to Xlobby"

I'm running this on same machine in xlobby directory. What tells it where xlobby is? (I tried ip)

Thanks.

BTW, I have to install .NET v2 for this to work

Not sure to understand your last sentence

BTW, I have to install .NET v2 for this to work

But yes, you need .NET v2.

Sometimes, but very few times, the plugin doesn't respond. You can check the plugin status in the Xlobby setup. The status is updated when it lost connection.

Until I fixe this bug, you need to restart Xlobby, in order to restart the connection.

Hi Pack,

I've tried restarting couple of times and plugin doesn't show in listed pluggins (?)

(I only made mention of .NET v2 in case someone else wanted to try this)

Thanks,

I'll see that tonight. But i'm suprised the plugin is not shown in the plugin list.

Does somebody else succeed in using this plugin ?

I'm probably missing something here, but if you're using Girder why can't you send a SendMessage to XL with wparam & lparam, each event in XL has a trigger with wparam & lparam ....

I can see it in the "Active Plugins" list ... ( using the last exe)

make sure to use the last xlobby2.exe. available here: http://www.xlobby.com/xlobby2.zip

I got it working....works great, too! Thanks!

It does show in the plugins list. I'm using the latest exe.
