Matrix Chat

This mod creates a bridge between a Matrix channel and the in-game chat. The code is shamelessly based on the irc mod and examples from lua-matrix.

This branch (master) needs a Matrix user that listens for messages and sends to Minetest. Chat messages posted in-game will be sent with the bot to the Matrix channel like so:

@minetestbot: <myuser> hello world

For a bridge where virtual users are created in Matrix, checkout the appservice branch!

This is a work in progress Until we have a stable release, expect breaking changes and whatnot.

Installing

OS X

brew install lua@5.1
luarocks-5.1 install lua-cjson
brew install openssl
luarocks-5.1 install cqueues CRYPTO_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/ OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl #https://github.com/wahern/cqueues/wiki/Installation-on-OSX#via-brew
luarocks-5.1 install luaossl CRYPTO_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/ OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
luarocks-5.1 install luasocket
luarocks-5.1 install luasec OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
export MATRIX_API_HTTP_CLIENT=luasocket

Ubuntu

Tested on 16.04.

apt-get install lua5.1 luarocks lua-sec
luarocks install lua-cjson
luarocks install luasocket
luarocks install luasec
export MATRIX_API_HTTP_CLIENT=luasocket

You might need to prepend sudo to first and second commands.

For the moment you need to add matrix_chat to secure.trusted_mods for lua-matrix to work. This will hopefully change.

secure.trusted_mods = matrix_chat
