Use Eclipse-Software to compile it ! (Maybe there is still set "advanced Mem-leak-check" in the enviroment) Export it as runnable JAR run it "java -jar station-chat.jar"

####################### How to run the Chat ############################

Station-Chat from Light has one problem, It run on TCP, but SWG run on UDP.

That problem is easy to solve, it is easier to change swg to talk TCP to the external chat as changing the chat to talk udp, because the udp is encrypted. We do not need that encryption as long as we run the swg-server and the station-chat in the same enviroment. That means as we do not run the chat for different games or on different swg-server as SOE did.

Now how to change SWG to talk TCP on chat.

copy the folder "TcpLibrary" from "src/external/3rd/library/soePlatform/CSAssist/utils/" to "src/external/3rd/library/soePlatform/ChatAPI/utils"

---

Than change in "src/external/3rd/library/soePlatform/ChatAPI/utils/GenericAPI/GenericConnection.cpp" from: using namespace UdpLibrary;

to: using namespace TcpLibrary;

---

Change "src/external/3rd/library/soePlatform/ChatAPI/utils/GenericAPI/GenericConnection.h" from: class GenericConnection : public TcpConnectionHandler

to: class GenericConnection : public TcpLibrary::TcpConnectionHandler

---

from: virtual void OnRoutePacket(TcpConnection *con, const unsigned char *data, int dataLen); from: virtual void OnTerminated(TcpConnection *con);

to: virtual void OnRoutePacket(TcpLibrary::TcpConnection *con, const unsigned char *data, int dataLen); to: virtual void OnTerminated(TcpLibrary::TcpConnection *con);

---

from: TcpManager *m_manager; from: TcpConnection *m_con;

to: TcpLibrary::TcpManager *m_manager; to: TcpLibrary::TcpConnection *m_con;

---

the most important change: "src/external/3rd/library/soePlatform/ChatAPI/projects/ChatMono/CMakeLists.txt"

add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/Clock.cpp add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/Clock.h add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/IPAddress.cpp add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/IPAddress.h add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpBlockAllocator.cpp add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpBlockAllocator.h add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpConnection.cpp add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpConnection.h add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpHandlers.h add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpManager.cpp add: ../../utils/TcpLibrary/TcpManager.h

from: add_definitions(-DEXTERNAL_DISTRO -DNAMESPACE=ChatSystem -D_REENTRANT)

to: add_definitions(-DEXTERNAL_DISTRO -DNAMESPACE=ChatSystem -D_REENTRANT -DUSE_TCP_LIBRARY)

#######################################################################################

Now compile ################################# than set in your config in SWG: [ChatServer] registrarPort=5000 gatewayServerPort=5001 registrarHost=localhost gatewayServerIP=localhost ########################### No problem to change these ports or the "localhost" to any IP if you run the Station-chat on another box. Be sure that you use that IP/port in the Station-chat-config, the IP and Port in station-config is used (registrar) to tell swg where to find the chat.

######## run Chat, run SWG , have fun !!! ###########
