i do a search for basic exploits/backdoors, but i dont check for functionality. trying to debug and test every addon would be impossibly time consuming

Modification Help / Re: any resources for planting bricks procedurally?

i think his point is to reference that code to relearn how to place bricks, thinking that the code in gsf's terrain generator is simple. its very much not - despite the terrain gen being rather simple, doing anything as complicated as that in ts is incredibly difficult/annoying due to the slow performance of ts and lack of basic language features like arrays.
you can place bricks via creating new fxDTSBrick() object instances, assigning them a datablock, position, and rotation. if you give an invalid position it will actually helpfully auto-snap to a valid position.... but not necessarily the closest one (ie you need to make your own position rounding function). brick positions are set at the center of their bounding box, and the grid is 0.5x0.5x0.2 per 1x1f
ex:
valid rotations:
once creating the brick, run %brick.plant(); and capture the output for errors. error codes:
note that trust is NOT checked here. you'll have to do that manually if you care about trust - use `getTrustLevel(%obj1, %obj2);` to check that (0 for none, 1 for build, 2 for full, 3 for self-owned)
after that, run %brick.setTrusted(1);. this does not actually check trust - this just makes it possible to plant bricks horizontally around it properly. not sure why its in the game but it is and you need to run it if you want people to be able to plant bricks around it.
some key notes:
if you dont care about saving/loading the bricks, or will override .plant(); to always return 0, you can actually just straight up ignore plant errors and the bricks will collide and work just fine after running .plant();.
similar goes for .setTrusted();

valid rotations:
Code: [Select]
function getRandomBrickOrthoRot()
{
%rand = getRandom(0, 3);
switch (%rand)
{
case 0: return "1 0 0 0";
case 1: return "0 0 1 " @ 90;
case 2: return "0 0 1 " @ 180;
case 3: return "0 0 -1 " @ 90;
}
}

yes he’s talking specifically about soldier
on the topic of open source i can understand why they don’t want to (potential for people to take their work and spin off their own project, or use it to look for holes to exploit) but do agree it would be beneficial to open it up to a degree. i don’t think it will legitimately remove the possibility of some backdoor threat because it’s much easier to hide code than it is to brown townyze it all, and i doubt anyone will. that said it would at least indicate the authors have no intention of attacking their users.

Are the mountains of evidence not enough for you?you appear to have no clue how virus scanners and threat detection works, otherwise you wouldn’t reach the conclusion you did with only the virus scan results. you also clearly didn’t understand the brief description from foxscotch’s post of how they work either sp there’s no point in me trying to explain it myself.

soldier is the person who has no experience with computer security thinks hes smarter at identifying what really is or isnt a problem than people with actual experience
not that i dont trust blr’s devs not to do something that stupid, but its a legitimate concern if you dont know the devs well enough to trust them inherently like that
I guess you shouldn't download anything from the internet, and only the microsoft store. You need to be sure that all of your software is secure.the difference here is its going to be a lot harder to hold clay hanson/kenko/etc accountable if there is an actual backdoor in their software compared to a person who has to give up anonymity to publish their software on a public, managed marketplace to ensure if there are issues they can be held accountable

yeah loans you can’t budget enough to pay is killer. gl getting out of debt and never get back in it.
you can usually still cook decent meals way cheaper than eating out, though it takes more work planning it out to overlap ingredient usage to keep a variety of meals. Can also just mix some days cooking and others not, and learning how to cook the most expensive food you would otherwise order.

Politeful, standard English greetinfgraduated college and now working in industry. moved out. nothing special really
Low effort, two letter word. You can do better Conan, how've you been these last 5 years?
