General Discussion / Re: Improved Blockland authentication for PHP (Fixes auth with special characters)

« on: October 16, 2016, 04:32:34 AM »

The auth server always replies with Connection: close, so it makes no difference. It was just one of the things I left in on accident while debugging issues, since Blockland doesn't send a keep-alive header whereas PHP sends one by default.

Is it needed to have it there, as we probably want to replicate how Blockland sends it to avoid any issues?

Also, what about the user agent? Is that for debugging purposes as well?

Blockland does not url encode in a way that is even remotely standard, only a few characters are encoded. And the master server appears to only decode in the exact same format. This is why I had to write my own encode rules. If this were not the case zapk's function would have worked with special characters, because it uses http_build_query which automatically url encodes the data you input to it.

That is indeed interesting. I knew Blockland did their own things, but I wasn't aware of this fact. Thanks for clearing it up.

This is fine and all, but I do wonder the following:

How come you're requesting the connection to be kept alive? Isn't this a one-time connection that will disconnect when you're done?

When it comes to the encoding, I would suggest the usage of rawurlencode as that does exactly as you're algorithm does. Then better, you could use urlencode instead as that complies with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Was there a certain reason for this as well?

You made a perfectly good point there, mctwist. And also responded very civilly; It's rare here on the Blockland Forums due to the amount of people saying it's rare here on the Blockland Forums and therefore encouraging others to be cold and sharp, no other reason.

When I first joined Blockland people was behaving like they were above everyone else. I slipped into that as well. However, nowadays I don't do that and will try my best to not to offend anyone without a reason.

At the last part, however, I was responding to Insert Name Here. Didn't you see how I quote his post?

I am perfectly aware of that. I should have responded to him not picking a fight with you instead, to make it more clear what I meant.

Anyway, your response was so... Human, it actually brightened my night. Yes, night. It's 1 AM in here as I type this.

Good thing no problem users broke in to derail the thread while this was happening. Guess I'll be sleeping soon - The predicament is over anyway.

I'm glad I could be of help.

yeah bumping in general for no real reason isn't usually a good thing but in things like add-ons it's ok since it gives people another chance to notice something useful

speaking of this is really nice, I didn't see it until now

Great! Then I know that I didn't do this in vain. I'll leave it be later in the future anyway, to leave room for other add-ons.

Would you know about it even if I didn't bump?

I don't really believe this addon will live for 5 years (neither will mine), but well, if someone requests the functionality in the future you just redirect them to the already-existing addon since you know about it.

There's still the two or three RTB archives, for example, that people keep redirecting others to when they request something that already exists.

So don't worry about your addon being forgotten!

I am not worried. The thing is that there's many add-ons out there and it is easy to forget about them. My add-on is so specific in its functionality that there's few that would find it useful and those that does it would design their server around it for the most part.

To make the word of your product reach as many as possible, you have to cross-link across threads. Which is not allowed.
You're just bumping it while there is no discussion for it.

I bumped my own addon saying I would update it soon and I ended up updating it more than a week later. Don't do the same mistake.

Whenever I go to this section I look for add-ons I find interesting. If I haven't been online for a week or two, I might miss some of the add-ons as I rarely dig deeper than the first page. I might have misunderstood why people normally bump their topics due to how I use the forum. The difference between a topic in the other forum and this forum is that the other forum contains mostly a discussion and if it dies, the topic dies with it. Add-ons on the other hand have their little area on the first page on the subforum to tell users about them.

Sure, if I keep myself active an try to check for users questions about what they want, then maybe I might find someone that are looking for one of those add-ons that already exists.

I'll go away once this is resolved. Don't worry.

I have nothing against you telling me this. I might even be totally wrong about what I'm doing.

Bumping it like this is to both make sure I can keep making updates for it without having to create a new thread(Which is even worse), but also to give people the possibility to be able to know about this add-on before it is lost in the Depths of Forgotten Add-ons^tm. Would you know about this add-on if someone requested its functionality 5 years in the future? I've been in both parties of reinventing the wheel and having an add-on die out.

Like an advertiser, you should take advantage of all possibilities to make sure the word of your product have reached as many as possible. This is my way of doing it. Of course, I will stop doing it eventually to make room for newer add-ons.

•  Output events to named bricks are only rotated if the target brick is selected

I also found out that if you've a named brick as target and if that brick is not in the duplication, it will still change direction.

So you went this way anyway. Now when I look back I consider it a wise choice. Great job!

« on: September 29, 2016, 01:38:52 AM »

this isn't my fault, you are in fact spawning on the spawn point, so onPlayerSpawn is called, and then being respawned again an instant later

You could check for waiting schedules and reset them. Just at tip.

But that's exactly what we knew happened. People who iban trusted with the addon released it and caused a mass amount of garbage cityrps to spring up.

Yes, but I was unaware of that fact. Or I just forgot about it.

anything prefixed with 'fireRelay' is blocked mostly because this event just has major possible abuses, if you want more control and dont have it set up so other people have access to eventing you can just remove the lines

Touché.

Restricting relays is dumb imo.  I use it to trigger VCE checks for security and server management.

I suppose I could use Subs, though...

Then you could use fireRelayNum. But I guess it is recommended for him to block that one as well.

In the server.cs:

That is indeed interesting. It gives a whole different perspective on what actually happened back then.

I don't know the bitmap array layout for guiMenuBarCtrl

The layout:

I got more examples at http://gr.dataorb.net/

Or did you look for something else?
