Okay, so about a year ago I started looking for solutions to share my parser with my Static Friends and made a reddit post about how to use the built in ACT Web Server. Its very basic and does its job, but its not very pretty. In the comments someone suggested looking at this Document from MopiMopi which uses ACT Web Socket by ZCube.
I copied MopiMopi's Repository for personal use and edited it so that my customization were the default.
Personal MopiMopi Customization
I wanted to break down what I did on top of MopiMopi's guide, so that your Parser is easy to share and even "Pin Protected" if you want it to be.
Basic Setup - This will get you setup so that you can hit COPY from the ACTWEBSOCKET Plugin to share your link. You will have to re-copy and share it every time your IP address changes.
Dynamic Setup - This will make it so that your IP address updates automatically and you will not have to COPY/reshare your link. It is still very long and cumbersome. This will involve signing up for a free account and installing its Dynamic IP updater. It won't have an impact on performance of your PC. Every month or so, if you use the site I do, you'll have to click renew link. It takes 5 seconds from your email.
Shortened URL/Custom URL Setup - This will shorten the URL to an easy to type link and then you can go further and name the URL something personal. This will involve signing up for 2 free accounts. Once these are setup you never have to touch them again. You install nothing from these sites.
"Pin Protected" Setup - This is something you probably won't have to do. Its just if you feel uncomfortable sharing your parser. [Quoting "Pin Protected" because its very simple, but most people won't care enough to look into bypassing it. I just feel allot safer using it in the rare party chat, because I doubt SE customer care is going to know how to bypass it.] This will involve signing up a free account. You install nothing from this site.
Extra Customization -- I'm not going to go into super detail, just gonna mention here that if you have a specific way you want your parser to look by default for people, you would have to Fork your repository from an Overlay like MopiMopi or Kagerou.
Basic Setup. Follow this Document from MopiMopi. Starting on Slide 22 and Stop on Slide 26. You can check if its working by going to http://127.0.0.1:10501/github/haeruhaeru/mopimopi/?HOST_PORT=ws://127.0.0.1:10501/ [Clicking this link should open it. Make sure the Server Status is set to ON in the ACTWEBSOCKET plugin. ON should appear greyed out.]
In order to share it over the internet you will also need to open a Port on your Router through Port Forwarding. The default port that needs open is 10501. This is different for all Routers, but its done like this on mine.
- Router IP Login. [Usually something like 192.168.1.1]
- Firewall -> Port Forwarding
- Open the port 10501. It should look like this. That's it! Port opened.
Once you have gotten to slide 26 and have your 10501 Port open, you are going to turn on access to everyone by changing it from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0. [You'll have to turn the server off then back on after you change it.]
That's it! You should be able to share your parser by hitting COPY URL in the ACTWEBSOCKET plugin.
It should look something like this:http://111.22.333.44:10501/github/haeruhaeru/mopimopi/?HOST_PORT=ws://111.22.333.44:10501/
[Where 111.22.333.44 is your IP address on the web.]
Dynamic Setup. You'll need to sign up for a free account, so if you're uncomfortable with that, head over to Gmail and make an email for this sign up. If you have a Static IP, you can skip this step.
Go to https://noip.com and sign up for a free account. Verify with your email then go into creating a hostname. Name it whatever you like.
Download and install the Dynamic IP Updater. Login with your credentials made once its downloaded.
Now your link will automatically update! You'll need to replace the IP numbers with the URL you signed up for.
It should look something like this, where "yourchoice.ddns.net" is your URL:http://yourchoice.ddns.net:10501/github/haeruhaeru/mopimopi/?HOST_PORT=ws://yourchoice.ddns.net:10501/ [Please note that you can't test if its working using the Wifi you have your PC connected to. You'll have to use your phone on the Cell network or have a friend try it.]
That's it! You now have a URL that dynamically updates and can share this long url with your friends.
Shortened URL/Custom URL Setup. You can use any URL shorten-er of your choosing, but to create a Custom URL, I would just start with shortening it with Bit.ly.
Sign up for a free account on Bit.ly and take your link from the Dynamic Setup. http://yourchoice.ddns.net:10501/github/haeruhaeru/mopimopi/?HOST_PORT=ws://yourchoice.ddns.net:10501/
Press Create, then copy the link you made for the Dynamic Setup and Create. You now have a shortened URL! [Please note that you can't test if its working using the Wifi you have your PC connected to. You'll have to use your phone on the Cell network or have a friend try it.]
To create a more Custom and memorable URL you'll need to sign up for a Free account at http://freedns.afraid.org/ Then go to WeB Forward (You may have to click it twice.) Add a subdomain in the bottom right corner of the center of the page. Select an Easy to type Name in "YourChoice" with one of the free domains. Fill in the rest as this picture suggests. This is the URL youll be sharing [YourChoice.crabdance.com in this example. It may take 5-10 minutes for the link to start functioning. Take a break!]
That's it! Your URL is now shortened and easily shareable with your Custom URL. It also dynamically updates and can be given out to your PS4 Static Members.
"Pin Protected" Setup. This step really isn't necessary, but it gives me a little piece of mind if I share it in party chat.
Copy this onto a notepad. Then Edit it so that its something like this. You can change the Pin to whatever you want. Make sure you enter your Bit.ly URL. Then Select all and copy the text.
Go this site to Encrypt your javascript to make it just SLIGHTLY more secure by pasting the code and then copying the encrypted code. You can delete the lines referring the converter site. They both start with "<!--"
Go to https://htmlsave.com/ and sign up for an account. Wow we've made allot of those. BUT FREEEE AYE. Then paste the code we encrypted and save it. It should give you a URL like: http://Accountyoumade.htmlsave.com.
You can click the link to see if its working and enter your custom Pin. Then, once you know it works you can hand that link out or BE EXTRA and log back into your freedns.afraid.org account and make a Second Web Forward to this URL.
That's it! You now have a URL that dynamically updates and uses a Pin Code. You can have both a Pin Code URL and one without a Pin.
If this seems like too much work, a much simpler, but less customizable solution is to just use FFLive's Parsing Plugin. Youll need to sign up for an account, but just one! Lol. The instructions are clear and the setup takes maybe 2 minutes. It has other tools like Triggers and Cool Down Watchers as well.
I hope this helps someone feel more involved on their PS4 while playing this awesome game.
