ArgonathNow: Phase 1 - Telegram

[Teddy]

It's so fast.

That's what I was aiming for, the initial bot as you can ask some who helped test some of the initial features was very laggy (up to 10 seconds to respond at times). I spent a great deal of time really focusing on efficiency and most responses are now within a second.

CB chats, in our demonstrations, are delayed by about 2-3 seconds.

Do what it says, I did too

You can only do most commands in a group chat. It will tell you when you use a command if it can be used or not.

Good news, we've finished a first round of testing on the test server using the authentication process (used to link a genuine telegram group chat to an Argonath CB). We've also managed to get the delay of messages from CBs down to around a second (varies on your own Internet as well).

We *may* be set to release this on the 12th, rather than the 16th if trials continue to go well.


You must first add @ArgonathRPGBot to your Telegram group chat. You must communicate with the bot over that group chat in order to complete the verification process.

Once you verify the Telegram chat ALL messages sent in CB will be echo'd to that Telegram channel. As of now, messages sent within the Telegram chat are NOT returned in-game.

Additionally, some have asked about the bot's presence. Yes, the bot MUST remain in the group chat in order to echo the messages.

This is correct. You need to have people to add to a group to create it. Make some friends!

If I understood right, it will be available either tomorrow or on 16th, depending when it's ready.
Here's a guide for when it's available http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=113289.msg1782383#new

Let's wait then, Thanks.

We will release what we have tomorrow and begin building additional services.

One of the suggestions has led us to develop a plan for the next major update to the Telegram service: offline SMS. This will allow an in-game player to use their in-game phone to SMS a player who is offline using the offline player's SMS contact.
