Modification Help / Re: Check when ServerLoadSaveFile_Start is Done AND Loading Events?

« on: November 30, 2017, 09:55:47 AM »

Why are you creating your own brick group, why can't you use the public one? You could try just using serverDirectSaveFileLoad() to load bricks instead.

I also think that brick groups need to be named the BL_ID they're attached to for some reason so like for yours it would have to be BrickGroup_0 (I could be wrong on that one but I remember something like that)

As for detecting when bricks/events are done loading, assuming you get the loading done correctly just package ServerLoadSaveFile_End().

Modification Help / Re: write a for loop in order to get a response from an api

so then connectToUrl basically passes the result on to myAPIRequest which will be accessed by doing myAPIRequest::handleText, and %text stores the text itself?

Yeah pretty much, and based on the example in the OP I got the feeling this isn't really an API but just a php page that outputs text when given certain GET variables. If this is the case just using what I posted will be faster than saving a file and reading it. It would be helpful if you posted the php code here or at least the webpage you're trying to access.

Also should note that handleText gets called for every line, and might contain header information or other stuff you might not want (not sure how TCPClient handles that) but be aware. You might have to do something like "response: your data here" and only grab lines that begin with "response:".

I would suggest using TCPClient. It allows for easy GET/POST requests with TCP objects and takes care of the messy stuff for you. You can read the documentation too for help but here's an example of what you're trying to do:
function NetworkRequest() { connectToUrl("http://yourSite.com/api.php?a=03&v=00&e=" @ $somethingElse, "GET", "", "myAPIRequest"); }
(You can't define a function inside a for loop like you're doing in your example)
So now TCPClient is going to handle that request for you, the 4th parameter in the function is the class name which allows you to do this:
function myAPIRequest::handleText(%this, %text) { echo("This is some text that was on the page:" SPC %text); }
If you look at the documentation page I linked you can read more about the class functions.

Depending on the size and type of data you're storing in the database you may want to use JSON objects and in that case I would definitely go with jettison.

I've been using hostr.co for the past five years and it has always been good. I think it limits you to uploading like 10 files a day but that hasn't been a problem for me.

Cromedome’s Murder Mystery. Even though it did last for a while, I miss the server. It was one of my favorites. Xalos’ Murder Mystery was also good but not as nostalgic as Cromedome’s.

Do you mean Cucumberdude’s?

forget off i was talking about the unfair benefits the donators get not the actual donation system

Removing unfair benefits is the same thing as asking to stop accepting donations, who's going to donate just to have a [V] before their name? Nobody.

he had servers that gave donators really unfair benefits compared to people that didn't donate and he managed to rack up a forgetton of money

i even asked him to stop once and he blatantly ignored me he's a starfish

You asked him to shut down his business and he ignored you? What a jerk!

People love to have an advantage over other players and feel special. In part it's what keeps them coming back to the server. It's weird that you guys are so surprised that Tezuni does this, have you never played a Minecraft or Garry's Mod server? It's the same.

While I will agree that the benefits Tezuni gives his donators are a bit over the top it certainly doesn't ruin the gameplay. You're still able to easily get a better weapon in Prison Escape and kill everyone or escape.

The reason these dedicated servers on these other games are so successful is because they have their own sense of community behind them, which is exactly what I wanted with my server. It's nice.
