I wanted to know if there was a way to send/recieve InterSCARMessages through the internet/over a network.

I was digging around in the scripts\test, and there was some really cool stuff in there! Among others, I found two scripts. One called "message_plane" and one called "message_tower". It's really cool how Send/ReadInterSCARMessage works, and I thought it would be cool to have it Send/Recieve SCARMessages, via, the internet/a wireless network.

Ye, I thought too it would be cool to send messages with SCAR via internet. :D

It doesn't work that way…

But…

SCAR does have socket connections and stuff to communicate over the network with, right Freddy1990? :)

But you could steal people Runescape passwords with SCAR scripts that way, so its not good idea.

Yeah that's true, but since all scar scripts code are viewable for everybody, the scripters little plot would fail miserably.

Yes, but, SCAR doesn't allow you to be a server if I'm correct, you can only use SCAR as a client…

How does Send/ReadInterSCARMessage work?

It can send messages just on your own computer. Look at this:

program SCAR1;
begin
SendInterScarMessage('Lol','Hi')
end.

Open up scar, run with that.

2. open up another scar, run with this:

program SCAR2;
begin
writeln(ReadinterScarMessage('Lol'))
end.

It's like a super global variable. With the ID being the name of the variable, and the message being the string it holds. It can be seen from different SCARs, and I believe only gets cleared when all SCARs are closed.

Using Shared Memory :)

An example of how to talk let java and SCAR talk back and forth was posted by regex on kaitnieks.com, I kept a copy here: http://www.moparisthebest.com/downloads/Java_sharedmem_Scar.rar

Interesting stuff isn't it? :stirthepot:

Oooh, I'm gonna have some messing around to do :)

Thanks.

Yes you could do it with PHP as the server where it writes the text and another procedure what reads it (i have private one) ;)

:p Jason and I figured that out after ~ an hour of trying

I guess we'd have to make a plugin to do it?

You'd have to do something with either a PHP script to handle and send SCAR Messages, or use sockets.

i made a powerminer that would do 2 accounts allmost at the same time using this.

Well, it doesn't use InterSCARMessages but I came up with a little idea..

If SCAR saves the messages it wants as a file, then the file could be shared on a LAN or on a web server

Then instead of ReadInterSCARMessage, it could read the file from the place it is being shared on the other computer. (Not sure how to do that but some scripts download version numbers etc from websites.)

Would this work or is it just another one of my useless ideas?
