Listening to chat events?

[ejhobbs 0]

Hi,

 

  I've just come from ComputerCraft, where we were able to use the 'Chat Box' peripheral from I can't remember which mod, which allowed you to listen to the chat, and then perform functions based on that.

 

However, I can't see to recreate the same functionality in OpenComputers. I have the code:

event = require("event")

chat_event = event.pull(chat_command)

However, this only appears to pull events from the server's remote terminal, for example:

"key_up"    "big long id"   13   28   "Hobby203"

Is there any way to utilise the chat_command event for taking messages from the actual chatbox? I have seen '$$' being used a lot, is this relevant? I've spent the last hour Googling and so far haven't found anything useful...

Computronics is it's own mod made by Asie, it adds a load of extra things besides the chat boxes

 

Just found it now, I'll install it now but I won't be able to test it until tonight, thanks for the help

Computronics adds a "chat box", probably the one you used. With that you can do the event.pull("chat_message")

I haven't added any chatbox peripheral, there used to be one with MiscPeripherals, however that mod has now been discontinued. Would you suggest then installing this new mod, I assume it isn't part of OpenPeripherals? Thanks
