Introducing PgMessenger

[Niph]

What is PgMessenger?

PgMessenger is a Windows program (download here (https://github.com/dlebansais/PgMessenger/releases/download/v1.0.0.89/PgMessenger.zip)) that let you read the game chat of Project: Gorgon on any computer.

How does it work?

The Project: Gorgon game client -when configured to do so- can save a log of in-game chat in files. Any player running PgMessenger will send new chat lines to a dedicated server, and anyone running PgMessenger will get updates from that server and display it in real time. Therefore, the system just need a handful of people playing across times zones and running PgMessenger for everyone to see chat 24/7.


All common channels are captured: Global, Help and Trade. Custom room channels are not. Guild channel is also captured but visible only to guild members through a few tricks (see the guild chat section of the doc (https://github.com/dlebansais/PgMessenger/blob/master/README.md)).


Eventually, PgMessenger will be changed to use an official game chat API, but until then log files are the only way to do this.

Enjoy!

Oh, this would be fantastic if I could get it on my phone.

[Niph]

I think someone else is working on it. I'll ask about their progress.

I just said that as it would be nice, it's cool there is one actually being made. Ty :D
