Request - Best ways to send notifications remotely

[Grimmllind]

I am curious what methods others are using to forward macro or plugin notifications to themselves? I used to send out a basic email or text but times have changed, unfortunately, and it now requires stricter authentication and things like sendmail or powershell Send-MailMessage cmdlet no longer work or are supported. Sending text to a phone number seems to be through an email too.

So that begs the question, is there something better? I see that there is a discord plugin, that not only lets you send messages out, but receive commands in. Before I set that up though, are there better options? Do any of the Lua or macros forward notifications? Is there a snippet to reference an example?

Thanks in advance folks.

In MQ2Grind, I have a Discord integration that keeps me aware of the status of things. Not that it helps me resolve any.

ok. this is the last warning or you're having a vacation - all this is unnecessary - just stop it. you're a drama llama - you're making your experience here awkward for people and im tired of talking to you about it and being ignored.

yeah google basically destroyed the email plugin - I was working on an sms alternative, but ran into similar issues due to restrictions with different email providers - just ends up being inconsistent

should check out mq2discord

You mean bugs? Is grinds’ sourcecode available for viewing?

Grind belongs to @hytiek No it's not.
The point was that you can use MQ2Discord to effectively keep an eye on things if you program it to do as much.

Seems a little too afkish to me, although I am sure some people use it otherwise. However, it's likely the reason it isn't very common to see on RG.

Are you building something in C++ or was your intention to use Lua?

While I wrote my own C++ Discord integration, you may want review the MQ2Discord plugin https://gitlab.com/alynel/mq2discord

If you are looking to do something in Lua, I would recommend not as current implementation of webservice calls in Lua does halt the eqgame process. I would not choose to do that. In the C++ implementation I wrote, I did consider that and spawned threads for the integration.

@Grimmllind you can design a taser (hardware) add on for your apple watch to work off of MQSay. That way you’ll get 10,000 or more volts or reasons not to afk play with every say…

Both actually. It’s an excuse to learn both. I learn by looking at other people’s work and cracking open a manual. Is disrupting the eq process an issue? Doesn’t MQ do that anytime it beeps?

A custom integration with discord sounds slick. I guess I should look into how that’s done. So much to learn. Thanks again.

Well, I’ll look at MQ2discord sourcecode on GitHub then.
