SlipChat

This plugin is currently in active testing, please report any issues you find!

(Also please reach out if you have any questions!)

Trigger the in-game announcement feature via a local API

Listens for an HTTP request and, after validating the message and other checks, sends an annoucement to your crew!

Send a GET request to http://localhost:8002/sendchat?message=Hello%20World to trigger an announcement of "Hello World" in-game.

In addition to raw HTTP requests, there is also a Stream Deck Plugin to make announcements. If you click the "Manual Download" button to download the zip file, inside should be a file ending in .streamDeckPlugin you can use to install the plugin. Most of the default settings should work, just need to add a message.

Current requirements to send an announcement:

• Must be captain of the ship.
• Must be at the Helm station.

In addition, you can use special $variables to automatically replace these with values from in-game:

Crew Variables:

• $captain: The display name of the Captain
• $randomCrew[id]: A random crew member's name, replace [id] to keep it consistant in the message (ex $randomCrew1)
• $crew[id]: The crew member with that numeric id, replace [id] with a number (ex $crew0)

Fight Variables:

(These will be blank if no fight is occuring)

• $enemyName: The name of the enemy ship
• $enemyIntel: The intel of the enemy ship
• $enemyInvaders: The invaders from the enemy ship
• $enemyThreat: The threat level of the enemy ship
• $enemySpeed: The speed of the enemy ship
• $enemyCargo: The cargo of the enemy ship

Run Variables:

• $campaignName: The name of the campaign (ex Pluto)
• $sectorName: The name of the sector (ex Pluto Outskirts)

Misc Variables:

• $version: The version of SlipChat (mainly for debugging purposes, no real purpose)
