MB Group Responder
Auto Respond to Group IMs
MB Group Responder offers the ability to respond to group IMs in 3 different ways:
1. Via a prepared "response" file (XML - see below for a sample)
2. Via LSL.
3. Mixed mode. Both of the above at the same time
Here is a quick walkthrough of the plugin:
If using the LSL interface
1. Check the "Enable LSL interface" checkbox
2. Click on the "Start" button
If the "Enable LSL interface" checkbox is checked, when an IM is received into any group, the received IM will be
WHISPERED into channel
3235784 in the format below:
GRESP|GROUP UUID|FROM AGENT UUID|FROM AGENT NAME|Message"GRESP" is a simple identifer for your script to identify a notification from METAbolt easily.
"GROUP UUID" is the UUID of the group the IM belongs to.
"FROM AGENT UUID" is the UUID of the avatar that sent the IM to the group IM session.
"FROM AGENT NAME" is the name of the avatar that sent the IM to the group IM session.
"Message" is the IM that was sent.
Once your LSL script receives a notification it can respond with a custom message in the format below:
ned49b54-325d-123a-x33m|MD5'ed METAbolt Password|SENDGROUPIM|GROUP UUID|Message"ned49b54-325d-123a-x33m" is a command identifier to METAbolt and should never be changed.
"MD5'ed METAbolt Password" is the MD5'ed password in Application/Preferences/General/Security tab.
"SENDGROUPIM" is an identifier for METAbolt and should never be changed.
"GROUP UUID" is the UUID of the group you received the notification for.
"Message" is the response you wish to send as a reply.
Once this is received by METAbolt, the message you have passed will be said into the associated group chat. You must note that you shouldn't pass such a command unless you have received a notification from MB Group Responder first i.e. you can't start group IM sessions using this plugin, but can only reply to a session that has started within METAbolt.
If using a response XML file
1. Prepare you XML file in the format provided at the end of this page (You can name the file anything you like and place it anywhere you like on your machine)
2. From the "Response Settings" tab click on the "Open" button and find and select the file you created. The contents of the file will be listed in the listview below the Open button.
3. (Optional) If you wish to use the LSL interface at the same time then check the "Enable LSL interface" checkbox.
4. Click on the "Start" button to start the listen process.
Once the process has started the "Start" button will turn to "Stop". Click on the Stop button to stop the process at any time.
Group IMs which have been received will be listed under the "Received Group IMs" tab. The response that have been sent will be under the "Responses" tab. Note that any response that has been sent and which has been received via the LSL interface will appear in green so that you can easily identify them within the list.
The XML file format for Automated Responses
The format of the XML file should be as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<broadcasts>
<message>ALL|I need help|Here is help: http://www.metabolt.net</message>
<message>05q5c2e5-3487-ba95-0ef8-de42cb121z09|I need urgent help|Here is help on this subject</message>
<message>fdgygf5h-7852-6hd5-fg4s-df45hg5fg5h1|Help me please|Here is help on this subject</message>
</broadcasts>
Note that the XML tags "<broadcasts>" and "<message>" are important and must not be changed. Simply enter your notice between the "<message>" and "</message>" tags and save your file as XML. You can name the file to whatever you want.
Do not place the XML file in the "Extensions" folder. You can place it anywhere else you like.
