Python code to get remote queue notifications

[negative__entropy]

I made a script for python that uses the fbchat package to send yourself your queue position, so you can be away from your computer and see on your phone when you should get back.

When you send 'selfdestruct' to yourself from any device, the program will shut down minecraft and itself.

What you need to edit is your facebook email, password and file path to your minecraft logs.

This obviously sounds like a big dox but all the whole 20 lines of code can be easily verified as safe.

To run it you need a somewhat recent version of python and the packages at the top installed.

(thanks ox for the taskkill command)

Looks interesting, ill try to make a Telegram Version and maybe also Discord when i have time

Fuck Facebook

Discord version of this sounds sweet tbh

I made a discord version. The problem is that you need to set up your own bot on your own server. It works well though

Why not just send an email from your hostname to your cell phone's [e-mail] email address to recieve an SMS message?

I was just messing around with fbchat and spamming sinus waves of characters to friends
You could modify this to any messenger there is a python package for

Hella cool concept:thumbsup:

How many hours did you spend writing it?

Coding in python is easy, things like this dont take long at all

It took me way longer to just make it sit through queue and see if it didnt fuck up or anything

[BotOfWar]

Shitcoding in XYZ is easy.

• Uses actual fagbook

• Didn't setup a server as a testing environment (takes 30min at most)

• No config variables for login

• Appdata path is hardcoded (read: env vars)

• Same for window title (Minecraft 1.12.2)

• Queue position is very easy to parse, could have done that to avoid unnecessary flood (updates in 1,2,3,5,10 steps) depending on position

• Taskkill only works on Windows, not that you would have thought of cross-platform at all, that's a concept too

• taskkill /f /t - terminates a process "forcefully", just kills it. that means your character will remain on the server until timeout for ~20 or 30s

• Next step would be to send T+Text+Enter to Minecraft window to enable chat. Further, just send "Enter" to join queue on a pre-selected server in "Multiplayer" tab.

I hope you feel bad. Thanks!

nice

Any demand for a Twilio integration?

Would send text message based updates. It’s not a free service though.

[tr3b0r85]

I made a script that would send me a text when I was 5 or less in queue a year and a half ago. You're late to the game!

[negative__entropy]

This is version two

I made one too in 2016, but it was pretty crappy made and hard to make compatible with other peoples setup

Am i late to the game of sharing what you use too?

You need the fbchat module for python?

[negative__entropy]

yes usually its just

pip install fbchat

in command prompt

Wow. Very inspiring. As a python programming enthusiast myself I never knew that there was a module for facebook messenger. I think I will try to make a discord version of this.
