Player notification idea

Wii-ness · 2. Mai 2016, 02:33

I am a die hard Dr. Mario fan. About a year ago some helpful geniuses here patched the game so that it can use Wiimmfi. Unfortunatley, I have had difficulty connecting with other Dr. Mario players from around the world. People connect to play but it is hard to connect at the right time to get a competition. My question is; could we set up some kind of notification whenever someone connects to Wiimmfi using Dr. Mario? Could we set it up to page us by text, email, an app or something similar? I would just love to get notified when other people want to play and I'm not usually on the forums long enough to connect with others. Just an idea.

Thank you for any help!
:help:

Or just for all games that barley have any people playing them online

@Coolnez Why exclude MKW and Brawl? Maybe the notifications could be setup in a way that it tells you when a friend logs in.

But I don't think that this'll be done, mostly because of complications of coding it and maybe some laziness/busy with real life.

An activity bot would be really, really sweet. Best method would be a bot on the wii-homebrew forums that sends personal messages to people who signed up to receive messages from the bot. (the wii-homebrew forum user can set whether they get email notifications for PM's)
Said bot could take some time in making, but I'm pretty sure it is not too hard as wiimmfi.de has got a very great structure in showing game activity.
Although I do reckon that (if there will be one) this bot should be given low priority in comparison with other development

This idea does sound good. My little twist would be that users would enable user login notifications (so that Wiimmfi tells a server that x logged in), then said user can select the server to use. Then, a person who wants to listen for that FC tells the server, who could then charge if a thing such as SMS was used. Then users can be informed.

i want a notification when someone enters region vx_131 on mario kart. that would be awesome!

Billy549 · 3. Mai 2016, 00:29

Possible: Wiimm could make it so that when someone has talked to MS and MASTER about said region to text you

Sucht93a · 3. Mai 2016, 01:12

I want a call on my phone with a message recorded by Wiimm. Maybe a computer voice can also tell me which players are online so i dont join a match with players i dont like...like raptor or keule

Billy549 · 3. Mai 2016, 01:23

xD
Phone rings: Wiimm
Wiimm: "Hello Sucht, those bastards are playing in your region again. Love and kisses, Wiimm"

:haha:

Sucht93a · 3. Mai 2016, 01:51

yeah something like that, though vs131 is wiimms hood. i live in vs179 but noone visits me there.

and now back to topic

Wiimm still doesn't have a real API for statistics. Not that I blame him for this, but having one would be really great for apps.

CyberMan · 3. Mai 2016, 14:09

What if Wiimmfi makes some good API ad then some one else can write good plugin for one of the discord bots like Red?

amibu · 3. Mai 2016, 15:20

Sure. I mean, we could always parse the HTML of the single status pages, but a real API would be far easier to use.

@Wiimm Are you planning to do something like this? I don't want to rush you or anything like that, just a question.

Wiimm · 3. Mai 2016, 15:24

What's about an app (not by me) and a wiimmfi push service (by me)?
However, I've very hard project business in the next 10 weeks.

Sucht93a · 3. Mai 2016, 15:33

That sounds like a really sweet idea, I would love you for some notification if certain people are online or if an uncommon region is entered in mkw!

Though if it will turn out as an app for smartphones I will be screwed as my mobile phone is from last century XD

Billy549 · 3. Mai 2016, 18:26

Well you can add /text to any Wiimmfi game/MKW url, and you get a list of users, and their region, and their FC.
@Wiimm your idea is nice; users could then make their own service to respond to your queries (You send x, they send y, etc), and then different outlets could be made. I'd probably look into the SMS stuff, as there's a really good API for it (send number, text data, that's it), but that'd be paid. Someone could also make email ones, or perhaps an app with push notifications to inform you.

That's a nice idea, maybe I'll try to do a little prototype later. SMS probably wouldn't work that well, since you'll have to pay for it.

Billy549 · 3. Mai 2016, 19:16

Again, there's a cheap API, it's like 0.02p a message to the UK, I need to remember it
It was used by the guy who made Redstone 2 Phone (ComputerCraft app)
