voxels-scripting-server

Self-hosted Voxels.com Scripting Server.

A package to allow people to create their own persistent scripting server. This module exports two objects:

• Method makeVSS(); This function returns a promise containing the WebSocketServer when it has successfully started.
• Object expressApp which is the express app object. See the express npm module documentation.

How to run your own server

1. Run npm i

2. Import makeVSS and enter a few lines of code: Using import

import {makeVSS} from 'voxels-scripting-server'

makeVSS(670).then((wss) => {
  if (wss) {
    console.log("Websocket started");
  } else {
    console.error("Websocket did not start");
  }
});

Using require:

const vss =require("voxels-scripting-server");

vss.default.makeVSS(670).then((wss) => {
  if (wss) {
    console.log("Websocket started");
  } else {
    console.error("Websocket did not start");
  }
});

There is a demo on repl.it: https://replit.com/@Benjythebee/testCryptovoxelsserver#index.js

1. In the examples above, replace 670 with the parcel id or space id you want to create a server for.

2. Once your server setup, go to your parcel page on Voxels.com and set Hosted script to true;

3. Then set the host address to wss://[The Address of server]/, Hit save.

Development
