Hi

I want to know is possible with autoit to make a chat client/server that can recive and hold more than 1 milon users and what i need to make for that.

Maybe my exaplanation is not good but let me describe program and hes features: its need to be chat program similar like xfire was, if someone knows it.

Hes features was :

- automatic detection of installed games on computer

- adding manually games

- add/remove game server ip ( when u add ip and port it show server options like name, slots, number of players, player score, .................. )

- add/remove/block friends

- list with online friends and their status ( what game they play ) if they play or show status like ( AFK, online or custom )

- when u click twice on friend it opens new window to chat with instant message ( u can open more windows and talk with more friends )

- screenshoot feature and upload on website to show on your id

Here is some images

 

MAIN  PROGRAM

INGAME CHAT

LOGIN WINDOW

CHAT WINDOW OUT OF GAME

So i want to know how to make a server, what he need, on what host he need to be stored, and how server works with clients.

Second thing how clients can be recognized.

I know to make a webpage, cms with database and all, but how autoit comunicate with php and mysql ?

If anyone have time and can explain me deeper u can add me on skype if u have it  patriot19821

Ok, let me try to answer this as polite as possible for a blunt Dutch person..   
You are thinking of developing a serious client/server application and want to see if you can do that in an interpreted script language?

My best advice at the moment is to get some serious help with the design and development of this!
Good luck with your endeavor :)

I don't understand all of what you are talking but xfire is an Game Tournment Chat/Group etc. Client and what you want is to make something like this right?
A Chat could you do easily with TCP or UDP Connections(The Server would Need to have an portforwarded Port) or you could do it with an Trick within RichEdit ~ the Stream to File could be used to writes a text to a file and which is being applied to the original File which could be hosted by Mediafire Mega Dropbox etc~ or on your own Computer.

To get Games you have installed you can use to search the standardly Gamepaths.. or search only for a Program which is being named like the original like "Gamelauncher.exe" ~ and this could be added to Array which can be displayed within a GUI and use the path where the Program had been found as an Direct start Function of the Game etc..~

If this seems wrong to what you asked or pointed~ I already said that i didn't get all of what you are talking.
The TCP UDP would be best for massive Players/ChatUsers but if you're Upload is slow you can't do that then the RichEdit would be the best Idea because it depends on the download and Upload time of the Users and a bit of the File Hoster you have choosen and it won't get any laggy but maybe very Buggy Like

1. Person has written: Hi

2. Person has written: Hello

but in the end it gets : HeHllio

so at all AutoIt could make it possible.

The IP of Servers within Games you could get from Lists~ or you could make u're own Script but maybe JavaScript would be one of the best to get them~

Are you serous with all of this and that will be the right base to serve a million clients(1,000,000) ?
Please do not give advises like this as that will only lead to a disaster as this requires a proper server and not some mickey-mouse solution with some  "portforwarding to your computer" setup!

Xfire closed chat service and made tournament service, so xfire client is closed so as main onld website. I want to try to make program like xfire was, but as i researched a bit on google xfire was made in java, so i asked if this be made in AutoIt.

And just to be clear i want try to make it similar like that was with few options on ( for start and test ) :

-make webpage ( easy, i already maded few php mysql html css )

-register/login ( over webpage )

-login over client

-get friend list

-when i click on firend twice new chat window opens so i can chat with him

-if i get message or him new window pop-up

So all data will be stored on hosting in mysql database.

I just tried to help~ but 1million is very high but it shouldn't be impossible :c

As said: Don't try to give advise when you have no clue what it means as you only give the wrong impression it would work. I am honestly not trying to be harsh on you but sometimes it feels too much hobbyshop advice is given without any proper thoughts. ;)

for a Little Message poping up like in Skype Steam etc use the "Toast UDF"
MySQL and AutoIt can be handled with a "MySQL UDF"
Friendlist dunno~(Maybe attach to this User Profile Codes so if it gets this only to this Person will be a message be send)

@Jos i have a bit clue ;3 maybe not enough to make it clear enough but to give some Basics

I beg to differ as you keep on insisting... over and out.

I already have small char program made in autoit but its not connected to webpage and its more like chat room, but i need different type.

With php i can make login and fetch all data from database in php script and fetch data from that script in AutoIt with _INetGetSource()

My biggest problem is how to make server for all that, where to run it because u cant run exe files on webhost ?

Because i have server that i start on computer and i open port in my router and give it to my friends + real ip, then i must give them client and i must start client + server and we can chat but all in 1 room.

But as IP changes every 24 hours its not good.

 

And for diferent type i was mean, i have program with list where is my friends or where i can add firend and see if hes online or offline, but this now i have is list like a chatroom so everyone who start client join in same room, u can see on images up in first post i upload all.

A good PHP developer would create a backend API, not download the contents of webpage using a GET request. You do realise that having a million users (questionable) downloading content from a page, parsing, error checking etc... will seriously slow down both the back and front-end of your "application". Not to mention you were originally wanting to do all of this in AutoIt! I like AutoIt, but there there are languages out there better suited to what you want to do, as well as better approaches.

It's evident that you should probably take the advice from @Jos in the second post, as you're little out of your depth it appears.

Port is not a problem because it same all time and it opened, ip is and client / server. Client need to have gui with options and firend list as i said already, so when u run client u see friends if u have it and when he go offline hes not on list anymore.

hmh~ Maybe u want something like this(Chat.zip TCP) just with added Friendlist and some other Special Functions?

Script made by me~

and this with Friends maybe save a file which is Protected and encrypted but could be read by the main Program and if it get that somebody is with the Name or UID online it will list him or her within Array which is displayed?~I get confussed by myself sorry~
