Hey,

Can we use the method registerAction with "roomAddClient" in my own module

like

Code:



 

        self.server.registerAction('onStartup',self.name)

        self.server.registerAction('isAuthorized',self.name)

        self.server.registerAction('roomAddClient',self.name)

Else i have to modify the source code of palabre (roomPalabre.py)

I just want to add a new property : room.maxClients
And check this property when a client join a room
In order to force client to stay into a room.

Hi!

I get a syntax error if I attempt +=, must be using an older version of python.

Code:



 Python 2.3.5 (#1, Dec  7 2006, 14:50:51) 

[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363) (+4864187)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Looks great. There's one way to save a bit of typing:

Code:



 roomID = roomID+1

can be replaced with

Code:



 roomID += 1

Handy if you're doing a lot of incrementing.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for getting back to me.

The idea is to setup an overflow method for room connections. ie: When the room reaches a connection limit, create a new room.

My limit for example is 10. When the room has 10 clients, we spawn a new room and fill that until 10, then repeat.

My code so far:

Code:



 

        # count existing rooms

        roomID = 0

        for p in self.server.allRooms.values():

            roomID = roomID+1



        # if a room exists

        if roomID > 0:

            # count clients

            for p in self.server.allRooms.values():

                if len(p.allNickNames) < MaxPerRoom:

                    # force client to join room

                    client.clientSendMessage('<join room="'+p.name+'" />')

        else:

            # no rooms are created, make the first room

            client.clientSendMessage('<join room="r'+str(roomID)+'" />')

I'm relatively new to Python so please excuse my code structure. It will be refined as I learn.

Hi Karl,

I think the variable you want to look at is: self.allParams.items()

Accessed from a module, I think it would look something like this:

Code:



 numberInRoom = len(client.allParams.items())

or possibly:

Code:



 numberInRoom = len(client.server.allParams.items())

You 'd have to play with it a bit, I've been working on game logic for a while now, and I'm getting rusty with rooms...};^)

When you get it working, post and let us know how you did it.

karl I'm about to wrap up for the day, wondering if anyone can help with how to get number of clients in a room python side?
