Streaming a channel?

Hey everyone. I am using a bot to dump chat from within a game to an
IRC channel.

I would like to provide a webpage for users to go too where they could
watch the IRC chat without having to actually join the channel.

Is there a bot I could use that could grab the chat in the IRC and
dump it someplace else?

Maybe I don't even know what I need or am explaining poorly.

That sounds like something that might need to be custom written.

If you find something, I'm interested as well!

Yea it might be. Like I want it to just STREAM the chat, not actually
allow people to participate.

Yep. I understand what you're saying.

We had this on a Minecraft server I used to play on. It had a live map
and the chat was streamed. You could see where people were and what
they were saying.

You can voice the bot, set the channel to +m, and then any users who
join won't be able to speak but they can still see the bot.

Try a few links in this

HWA_enUS616US616&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=irc2html&nfpr=1). If you had
a bot (any client that can save logs) and a program to convert those
logs into HTML, you could easily incorporate them into a web page.

Check out Node.JS and Socket.IO. It wouldn't be too hard to make a
webapp that does this.

Any multipurpose bot can do this, just have it log the chat and put
the logfile in a web-accessible location in your server!

Please do not use this. This will eat your bandwidth and become
extremely slow as the chat log increases.

I believe that's the DynMaps plugin, it's nice, but can really hog
resources.

I've been thinking of ways to do this as well. I have an IRC channel
which currently receives messages from 2 different games/servers. It
also produces some handy information at the end of competitive rounds,
for example.

If you had any luck in finding a solution to embed a channels' (read
only) chat, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction!
I'd imagine a javascript bot to pass data somewhere would be a good
starting point.

How do you dump chat from a game to an IRC channel? I am new to IRC
and this would be awesome to have.

It involves a plugin on the server that we are actually trying to get
to work.

So hang in there :) We already have an IRC channel set up for it. Just
need to await the plugin to work.
