Live cast system [$205]

[Znote]

Live Cast System

twifysoft.net has a very good cast system, but I understand if they wish to keep the sources closed.
However, I believe a good live cast system will help the growth of this community, and motivate more people to jump on projects based on this repository.

So I want a live cast system, on this official repository.

How I want it to work (copied from twifysoft):

• You can start casting by typing the command !cast ingame.
• You can also start casting with a password, by using the command !cast password.
• Login to the server without account name to watch a live cast.
• If the cast has a password, enter the password in the password login field (still empty account name).
• An in-game cast group chat channel. If the caster has the channel open, it is considered enabled, if caster is not in the channel its considered disabled.

Code quality guidelines:

@marksamman:

• The use of the dispatcher thread must be minimal (viewers should receive a copy of the packets sent to the caster in asio thread).
• All caster variables must be stored in (or in another object referenced from) the ProtocolGame instance of the caster player.

I will be the first here to take initiative and use Bountysource, I hope more people will follow. 👍

There is a $205 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

Nice 👍

[mattyx14]

yep I make my contribution

[EPuncker]

great 👍 this will for sure bump the usage of tfs 1.0

[rodrigoslayertech]

If I publish my system, I get how much?

[EPuncker]

if it fulfills all @marksamman requirements you may get the bounty I guess

@marksamman @djarek Not sure whats going on with the bountysource integration, but I chipped in some extra bucks raising this from $170 to $205.

@Znote it's working.

Isn't @djarek system already done and working? Most of the people that shows up with errors are using it with modifications

[Znote]

@ranisalt I edited that myself manually, the title still says $170 and it appears I cannot change that.

@gugahoa There is a pull request by djarek, but it hasn't been accepted and merged yet by Marksamman. Last thing I read there are some dodgy code in the shadows of this request that need some work for the sake of this request, as well as some good testers who know how to use a debugger. (But don't take my word for this).

I don't care if a pull request is working, it has to be merged to master or the bounty still stands.

[marksamman]

There seems to be an issue with the Bountysource integration. I've tried re-enabling it without any success, until we figure it out, people interested in bounties should check the Bountysource page for the project for accurate information on bounties. As for the pull request, I'm still waiting to hear from people how well it works without additional modifications to the source code. I don't have a server with enough activity to test it myself.

Any Solution for this ?

#994 (comment)

I'll resubmit a new pull request when I rebase. This PR has way too many spam messages.

Could you give a status on this?

[djarek]

@Znote
I want to merge #2010 before the casting system so that the latter uses the API rather than push redundant stuff into the database.

[slavidodo]

@Znote I will start working on this very soon!

@djarek If you have already started this, inform me and I am stopping at once!

[miezaF]

I'm going to start working on it.
