Question about hooks in DS

[Modembug]

Hi Guys,

I am new to running a FFXI Private server. I have been running a Minecraft server for quite some time and have had great success with building a community around IRC. I am looking to do the same sort of thing with DS. Does anyone know the best way to hook into player messages that are passed through the server? I would like to add hook into it for an IRC bot to feed a channel

I have not seen any information regarding plugins and DS, so I would imagine this would need to be done in the DS source and then recompiled with the feature in place. I think all I need is to be pointed in the right direction as I am fairly handy with VS2010 already.

Cheers!

hmmmm, chat messages are in chat_message.cpp (under packets in dsgame), and are made in packet_system.cpp under SmallPacket0x0B5 (line 2653) if that's what you're looking for

I think that should do it

I will have to dig in and see what I can whip up!

mXI + this plugin may also yield results. If you check the user reviews, someone offered a way to make it work with any IRC network via the HOSTS file.
