Since It's Apparently Some Secret:

Cynlael · May 2015

Apparently people feel some secrecy surrounding gmcp chat capture (or genuinely don't know how it's done), so I'll just post how to do it here.
Note, this'll work with virtually every form of chat capturing out there, it simply requires you to change the function line (which I'll detail what one to change)

Firstly: Add this to your login trigger.[spoiler]

sendGMCP([[Core.Supports.Add ["Comm.Channel 1"] ]])

[/spoiler]

Secondly: Make a new script, specifically called chat_capture, with the registered event handler of gmcp.Comm.Channel.Start
[spoiler]

function chat_capture()
   local ch = gmcp.Comm.Channel.Start
   if not chat_channels then check_channels() end
   chat_channels.last = "Misc"
   for c, t in pairs(chat_channels.types) do
      if ch:find(c) then
         chat_channels.last = t
         break
      end
   end
   enableTrigger("Chat Processor")
end

function check_channels()
   chat_channels = chat_channels or {}
   chat_channels.last = chat_channels.last or ""
   chat_channels.types = {
      ["newbie"] = "Misc",
      ["market"] = "Misc",
      ["ct"] = "Orgs",
      ["ht"] = "Orgs", 
      ["hts"] = "Orgs",
      ["hnt"] = "Orgs",
      ["clt"] = "Tells",
      ["Party"] = "Tells",
      ["tell"] = "Tells",
      ["says"] = "Says",
      ["ot"] = "Misc"
   }
end

The above table here should be reflected to how you want the messages to be processed. Change the values between the quotation marks to match your needs. (The names should be the same that appear on your chat capture)

[/spoiler]

Thirdly: Make another script specifically called chat_processed, with the registered event handler of: chat prompt processed
[spoiler]

function chat_processed()
   disableTrigger("Chat Processor")
end

[/spoiler]

Finally: Download and import the trigger which is included in this post. The function you need to change will be located within the 'Chat Parser' trigger.

     agui_process_chat(chat_channels.last)

The above is the line specifically, that you'll have to change. For those who use demonnic (the original tabbed chat), change the line to

     demonnic.chat:append(chat_channels.last)

You're welcome.

Forgot to note. Within the same Chat Parser trigger, is the

local ignore = {"halfling" ,"cyclops","gnoll", "mingruk", "tsol'aa ", "Talus, the caveman", "e glubber", "arcadian", "Adalgar"}

You can add whatever you want to this, and it'll simply not process any line that has the above things within the first match (The part which captures WHO is saying the line, not the words which are spoken)

Any idea why I'm capturing room inventory in my chat console after doing this?

Cynlael · May 2015

No clue! Make sure the Chat Processor folder is 'locked' when you install it. If it's not, it'll keep doing that until you do lock it.

In hindsight, I probably should've mentioned that.

Cynlael · May 2015

Okay so, I'm an idiot, sorry...

function Geyser.MiniConsole:append()
     appendBuffer(self.name)
end

You'll also need to add the above function into scripts, for it to work properly (demonnic SHOULD have this by default, but the thing I'm going to post below won't have it)

Since I've been asked, and because I'm nice... Those of you using @Zulah's D3 GUI will need an additional function, since he uses a different way of copying.

Firstly, you'll have to adjust the table to reflect the actual miniconsoles themselves. For instance

   ["ct"] = "d3citychat",
   ["tells"] = "d3tellschat",

etcetera.

Following that, where I said to change:

agui_process_chat(chat_channels.last

You'll want to instead make the trigger as follows.

if not ignoret then
   selectString(line,1)
   copy()
   chat_channels.last:append()
   d3allchat:append()
 end

Aaaaaand, for those using his other free GUI. You'll have to edit the tables as follows

   ["ct"] = "cityChat_1",
   ["ht"] = "houseChat_1",

etcetera.

As for the trigger:

if not ignoret then
   selectString(line,1)
   copy()
   chat_channels.last:append()
   allChat_1:append()
 end

Also as a final note, you'll want to remove all the other previous chat triggers. Or at the very least, turn them off, to prevent double capturing or cock-ups with it.

@Cynlael - as I'm working to build off both your and Zulah's GUIs to get mine set up the way I want, I love you for this.

Zulah · May 2015

@Cynlael props! I've never tried using gmcp for chat but since you provided everything as soon as I get a chance I'll see about adding this to both the free gui template and the diablo 3 gui.

Siduri · June 2015

@Zulah - If at all possible, care to package it as an external plugin for those of us who have already heavily tweaked your GUi and just want to add the chat?

Kard · June 2015

This seriously was a secret. Only been looking for this for the past 2-3 years...Thanks!

Austere · June 2015

Okay, I added this last night after a raid and I just want to say: you're awesome. Now if only it worked for deathsight.

Cynlael · June 2015

just use a colour trigger for deathsight, that's not linked to any other channel. (Have to use base 15 colours, though)

Is it possible to capture the GMCP message without using says/sing/whatever triggers to capture it?

gmcp.Comm.Channel.Text.text

Says/sings etc show up on there, too. Basically anything that isn't an illusion/membrane/event denizen shouts (like tharos, his shouts don't show up in there)/some denizen yells

Cynlael · June 2015

Shouts aren't tracked via GMCP, is why they don't. Otherwise they'd default to the 'misc' tab. Same with yells.

Kasya · June 2015

I've messed up at some stage somewhere. Will need to give this another go soon.

Kasya · June 2015

Alright, I've done everything in this thing, left Zulah's Free GUI scripts alone other than to disable triggers. Made sure I had the right labels in the chat_capture script. And it captures nothing. Any ideas?

Cynlael · June 2015

Make sure to read my other posts in the thread. I missed some things. If no dice, then show errors log.

Kasya · June 2015

it may have something to do with the fact that the GUI doesn't load on startup?
