but what are you going to do when they give you a closed source module? :\

Have them give you a file with the cfghelps in it that can be parsed as part of the building process (or make one yourself). They already have to give you a list of the settings, after all.

Or, my personal favorite: don't worry about the help text at all. Maybe you don't realize it, but you can still set the config settings without the help text.

No need for the extract-cfg-docs.py part in that .mk. The one in core will take care of that.

Arnk Kilo Dylie · Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 4:06 am Post subject:

Yes, that's one way, but when I said "take the cfghelp stuff out of core.mk) I meant that stuff too, just for completeness sake.

I'm sorry, the rest of us have to compile our modules as part of making them. I'm not sure how you're doing it, exactly.

Probably one off modules in windows

recently, i connected my zone to a biller.

this was more difficult than it should have been, because both billing:groupid and billing:scoreid are both 0 by default for some reason, which causes the 'invalid login attempt' in subbill.

now that everything is working, i have not yet figured out why my zone isnt sending commands to the biller...
is there something simple im overlooking? :S

PS:
i even tried the ?/hi and ?\hi stuff too

PPS:
?userid is coming back empty too :S

Dr Brain · Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:15 pm Post subject:

Subbill is known not to work with billing_ssc. Get a better biller and try again.

Cheese · Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:49 pm Post subject:

so being a non-linux user, i have to choose between a biller that eats 100% cpu and a biller which you say is unsupported?

what would you suggest i do?

Dr Brain · Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 7:33 am Post subject:

ASSS saves its own scores, and can authenticate just as well as subbill. Why use a biller at all?

what are the key (next to portal) and missile (next to rocket) icons in the icon.bm2 file?
never seen them used, anyone know anything about them?

L.C. · Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 6:39 pm Post subject:

The key was supposedly to be able to open doors, I think.
The rocket, well, is obviously a missile that goes in one direction (probably would have had homing capabilities to some extent).

VIE never finished it.

i see a redirect.c in my source code directory, yet when i ?insmod redirect it fails.
where is it?

this one seems to be super-secret, because its not just unlisted, but also undocumented and not loaded or accessible in any fashion, and you have to use a different undocumented command to even activate it...

also, there was some command that listed the basename of an arena, which was it?

and what is clientset.def for?
it looks like its supposed to be compiled with something else, what?
will changing it affect anything?

if i have
const struct section_help *sh=&cfghelp->sections[i];
const struct key_help *kh = &sh->keys[j];
where sh and kh is good
what would cause kh->name to be a null pointer, and what would cause sh->name to always be a pointer to the address 1337?

and cfghelp.c does #include "cfghelp.inc", where is it?

Dr Brain · Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:13 am Post subject:

Why do you need two threads to post in?

cfghelp.inc is made in build. See the build script for answers to your other cfghelp questions.

Pretty sure redirect was added to core.mk a dozen revisions ago, get latest source. Just because it's in the src directory doesn't mean anything does anything with it. Redirect was broken when 1.4.4 was released so it was not compiled by default. Now it's fixed.

Cheese · Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 12:54 pm Post subject:

what about on ASSS 1.5.0rc2 built on Nov 25 2009 15:25:36?

and im not seeing redirect in /core/core.mk
so probably not?

If you grab the latest trunk version from bitbucket it is there. Have fun compiling if you are still using asss on windows.
https://bitbucket.org/grelminar/asss/src/bbc0c08f56a9/src/core/core.mk

Arnk Kilo Dylie · Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:38 pm Post subject:

Jowie said what I already said just in more words.
But regardless...it's not hard to just add it to core.mk yourself.
Practically speaking, the only version of asss supported right now is the latest default branch revision.

P.S. https://bitbucket.org/grelminar/asss/changeset/94982d160ccc - done a year ago and merged into main branch almost a year ago. Has that Windows test version been out that long already? heh..

something i would like more than anything is a win32 binary with full symbols

or at least just the functions

PS: i cant build anything
