Has anyone here ever experimented with Integrating their PW into a Facebook app/page?

 

I've managed to get it working so that when players reach level 40, it posts a congratulations Status Update on the Servers Facebook Page.

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas for further enhancements?

 

I am working on a system to upload game-play screenshots from the PW Gameplay experience client side, to the FB page also.

(Slowly, but surely)

Eg: My players have a downloader application that updates their local content, if they are playing the server while it is running, it monitors their screenshot folder, and automatically converts screenshots labelled for the server, to PNG, then uploads them to my server, which then continues on its way to the facebook page.

The idea is that when the player presses print screen for a screenshot, it will automatically copy it to the facebook page.

 

 

Anyone else use Facebook integration or features in their server?

Just an update on this:

Managed to find memory pointers in nwmain that point to the player's community name.

So using this, I'm able to tag the screenshots appropriately as they arrive on my facebook community page.

 

Although - I suspect because of OS restrictions, this feature might not be working on all my players machines.

Eg: they might need to run as admin, to get the application the rights it needs to access other processes.

:-\

 

If anyone is interested, or would want help developing a similar app for their facebook community, let me know.

Some of the screenies uploaded through this tool can be seen here.

Because its seamless - not having to log out and convert to png, and then upload, it makes it additively easy to take screenshots.

That's a pretty cool idea there.  Such an easy way to get player-centered experience out there for others to see. And not having to convert each one from .tga beforehand makes it really slick.

 

Only drawback I really see is the volume of "junk" screenshots.  I personally tend to take 10+ screenshots at a time, then weed out 90% or more of them before posting the ones I like. I've got one player that posts phenomenal looking screenshots, but he's told me he may take 20 or more just to get the one he really intended.

 

Do players have a way to delete auto-posted images?

At the moment, there isnt a way for users to delete their photos.
The posted screenshots all get posted under the facebook page account. So technically, although the players are taking them, they get posted and governed by the page account.

Only someone who can log in as the page can delete them.

I might try and make it so the images get tagged as the player name, and then they can delete all of their pics from ingame or something?

I've just added some functionality to make the photo album auto prune itself.
I decided on a ruleset for what photos get deleted.

Between 3 and 7 days old, and no likes = delete.
Between 8 and 14 days old, and less than 4 likes = delete
Between 15 and 30 days old, and less than 10 likes = delete

Commenting on photo's will allow players to save photos, at least until I decide there is a comment count requirement to save old photos.
