EN Using external libraries in scripts

[mgi]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it's possible to import external libraries (such as a socket library) into scripts?

My use case is that I want to set up a script which sends events out to external clients (and services requests from those clients, such as play sound). This will give me more flexibility when interacting with other external systems (eg. LiFX bulbs, Minecraft servers, and so on).

not possible, and will never be integrated

Is it at least possible to access the filesystem?

 

[mxschmitt]

"at least" are you serious? A script could so have access to the filesystem... This would be a a very big security problem. This will definitely never implemented.

It's not a security problem in my use case. And I'd appreciate a little less attitude, I'm only asking what's possible with the current implementation.

You can read a spefic html files from /sinusbotDir/data/cache by doing that, im using it to store my small players db with json files:

function updatePlayers()
    {
        sinusbot.http({method: 'GET', url: 'http://127.0.0.1:9301/cache/players/faceitStats.html' }, httpDBCallback);
    }

    function httpDBCallback(error, respone)
    {
        if(respone == undefined)
        {
            setTimeout(updatePlayers, 5 * 1000);
            return;
        }

        var content = respone.data
        players = JSON.parse(respone.data);
        players = players.players

        sinusbot.log("----------- Faceit Stats Players Loaded -----------")
    }

Added support for basic tcp sockets yesterday. If stable enough, it will make it into the next release but has to be enabled in specifically in the config.ini and possibly in the webinterface as well.

Brilliant, thanks guys!

That's pretty exciting @flyth, thanks for that!
