This project is a simple bidirectional relay between IRC and a Factorio server which uses the Factorio server's log and FIFO files for communication.
To build FactorioRelay from source, you'll need the Java SE 8 JDK and Apache Maven (version 3.0.0 or later recommended). You can also use a Maven-compatible IDE, such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, instead of Maven.
Simply clone the repository, run mvn package, and run the resulting jarfile! The bot will automatically create a
default configuration file for you then terminate, so you have a chance to set things up; then just run the bot again!
Setup and usage information will be added here in the future, after the bot has been written and seems reliable.
As an open source project, you are welcome to contribute to FactorioRelay's development!
If you would like to file a bug report, request a feature, or report some other issue, please use the Issues section of our GitHub repository.
If you would like to contribute code, there are a couple different ways you could go about doing this.
- If you are familiar with Gerrit Code Review, you can use LizardNet Code Review to clone the code, and submit patches directly to us that way. Note though that you'll need a LizardWiki account to log in to LizardNet Code Review; this page has more information on that (if you don't have a LizardWiki account, you can easily request one be created for you).
- Alternatively, just clone the GitHub repository and submit a pull request. Note, though, that the GitHub repository is just a read-only mirror of the LizardNet Code Review repository, so all pull requests will be copied to Gerrit by a Beancounter developer for you before merging into the mainline.
