Can anyone confirm that IRE.Rift.Request on Achaea is not getting a response from the server, or am I just not doing it right?

http://nexus.ironrealms.com/GMCP under IRE.Rift

I'm using the following:


<alias
    match="^rift$"
    enabled="y"
    regexp="y"
    ignore_case="y"
    send_to="12"
    script="IRERiftRequest"
/>

local SB_GMCP = "\255\250\201" .. "%s" .. "\255\240"

function IRERiftRequest ()
	SendPkt(SB_GMCP:format("IRE.Rift.Request"))
end


I also tried this with the same alias:


function SendGMCP(message, content)
	if type(message) ~= "string" then
		return nil, "Message name must be a string."
	end
  
	if content ~= nil then
		content = json.encode({content})
		if content == nil then
			return nil, "Invalid input."
		end
		message = ("%s %s"):format(message, content:sub(2, #content-1))
	end
  
	SendPkt(SB_GMCP:format(message))
	return true
end

function IRERiftRequest ()
	SendGMCP("IRE.Rift.Request", "")
end


I also tried putting a space after IRE.Rift.Request, but that made no difference.

Is this in a context where everything else works in GMCP (eg. room info, etc.)?

If so, maybe they didn't implement that message.

Make sure you have IRE.Rift in you core.supports.

That was the first thing I did.

It's the same context as the others, and it's implemented. I know someone on Mudlet that tested it and got a response but I guess they used IRE.Rift, instead of IRE.Rift.Request. I tried it both ways and still nothing. They got an object back like the example they give on the GMCP site.

I mainly just wanted to see if anyone on MUSHclient had done it successfully before saying anything to IRE about it.

I was thinking maybe it has something to do with how the function I'm using doesn't like content = nil, for the messages that don't have any content following them.

maybe this would work?


function SendGMCP(message, content)
	if type(message) ~= "string" then
		return nil, "Message name must be a string."
	end
  
	if content ~= nil then
		content = json.encode({content})
		message = ("%s %s"):format(message, content:sub(2, #content-1))
	end
  
	SendPkt(SB_GMCP:format(message))
	return true
end

Your first alias looked OK to me, however this would be less confusing:


SendPkt("\255\250\201" .. "IRE.Rift.Request" .. "\255\240")


Or even:


SendPkt("\255\250\201IRE.Rift.Request\255\240")


That string.format stuff is unnecessary when it is all constant data. Also the JSON encoding doesn't really apply here.

Did you do what Sondayga suggested in reply #2?
Sondayga #6
Not sure if it helps, but this is what I have.


function gmcp_sendpkt(data)
	SendPkt(string.char(IAC, SB, GMCP)..string.gsub(data, "\255", "\255\255")..string.char(IAC, SE))
end




function get_rift()
	gmcp_sendpkt('IRE.Rift.Request')
end

Yes, I replied in Reply #3.

This is my supported modules table. The only thing I can think of is maybe the version number is wrong for IRE.Rift?


local GMCP_options = {
  "Char 1",
  "Char.Afflictions 1",
  "Char.Defences 1",
  "Char.Items 1",
  "Char.Skills 1",
  "Comm.Channel 1",
  "Room 1",
  "IRE.Rift 1",
  "IRE.Target 1",
  "IRE.Time 1"
}


I've tried sending IRE.Time.Request and Comm.Channel.Players as well just to see if any of them worked and Comm.Channel.Players worked if I put Send("") after the SendPkt. For some reason certain messages don't send a response without some extra input from the client.

The only thing I can think of is that either MUSHclient is intercepting the messages before the client can ColourNote them to the screen or IRE has something against MUSHclient lol

I'm not sending the wrong message because when I have before I get this response from the server:

WARNING: Your client sent an erroneous GMCP message - ire.rift. If you are using one of the IRE clients, please file a BUG in-game, otherwise please check your client settings.

Did you get any head way on this? I'm able to get a response while on Achaea.

What’s the problem exactly? You are getting IRE.Rift.List messages.

Sondayga #10
I am getting the messages yes. Kevnuke was not able to get them and I was checking if they had got it fixed. Thanks!
Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator #11
Sorry, I got the two of you confused. :)
Kevnuke USA #12
Not sure how I got unsubscribed from this thread, but anyway I got a reply from IRE staff earlier.


Message #12         Sent by Anytus
2018/9/03/13:32 Greetings! Regarding issue #83520: Our head coder and user of Mushclient has tested the rift request GMCP function and it appears to be working fine. If you are continuing to have problems with this, please file a BUG or another ISSUE and we will look into it further.


I know it's working, I just wasn't doing something right.
So I took the alias and function I was using to send IRE.Rift.Request and stuck it in your GMCP_handler_NJG plugin.
BAM started getting IRE.Rift.List. Something in my plugin is interfering, probably in the OnPluginTelnetSubnegotiation. I'm not sure how or why since I'm doing the ColourNote before I change the "data" in anyway. but here's the entire plugin.
