Comic Slack

Really basic (concept) Slack RTM API to IRC like server to connect to MS Comic Slack

Currently Supports

• Connecting
• Sending and recv messages

TODO

• Provide this as a service
• Map reactions between slack and comic chat (can probably only do this one way)
• Send data about the scene
• Joining and parting channels through comic chat
• Forward presence status
• Leave and join messages
• Private messages
• Replace out (really) hacky code

Why

• Comic Chat - why not
• Why not just use the Slack IRC gateway - comic chat doesn't support SSL and most Slacks don't have IRC turned on

Strech goal

• Netmeeting gateway...

Installing

1. Install Comic Chat - http://www.mermeliz.com/download/cchat/mschat25.exe
2. git clone thisrepo
3. npm install
4. set SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=YOURSLACKTOKENHERE (you can get the token from looking in the network tab of chrome when connecting to slack - it's the query string in the web socket connection)
5. node index.js
6. Wait for it to connect to Slack
7. Open Ms Comic Chat, set your nick to your slack nick and connect to localhost (select Just connect to server)

Development

Don't bother - this code is a terrible. Srsly

I've rolled my own IRC server to make MS Comic Chat happy. I think this could be useful to mess around with how comic chat displays things
