Freinds scripts

Postby bootsam » Thu Jan 28, 2016 10:57 am

I was wondering whether it would be possible to create a script that takes the list of current Mobius group members and cycles through the list asking each to be a friend. I know not how to do so as I've never created a script in my life, but before I look into the possibility it occurred to me that there's likely to be someone who knows whether its possible or not on here. If it is it would be a great thing. I often look at the galaxy map and like seeing where all you lot are. I followed severals journey to Sag A and back from the privacy of my own screen. :)

I have been wondering about that too. I have currently added about 1/5 I think so far.

I would be concerned about the network falling over while checking if my 18k+ friends were online.

EDIT: Maybe it would be better for all to be on something like TS or Slack?

when you activate it will it give an audio warning of 'Friend script drive charging'?

Its absolutely possible from a technical standpoint.

But it would mean FD makes frontend that you can authenticate against and upload a list names.

Heck it doesn't have to be more complicated as pasting a text list into the launcher or in game.

I did something similar with my eve group where people register email and phone number (yes eve gets that crazy) with our site I then had a link where we could download a csv list that would load contacts into to your smart phone, well it kinda worked on android phones and that's was just barely. Cause I'm really not a coder.

We used this for what we dubbed the "bat signal" if we got invaded or found a great fight we send off a group text and more often than not we would get another 20 or so members online.
You just had to pay for sending 50 texts...

This was eventually replaced by a facebook group which is much simpler.
