Alrighty,
Just needed to know how to add .039pr1 client to my linux asss server. currently only supprting .038. And, well, not to beat a dead horse but whats up with Snrrrub? No mas developement I know but I'd love to see the dev process reopened. Also, anybody figured a workable wine configuration?

Anywho, see ya in the Zones.. linux_terror

-----------------
all that is needed to really foul up in this game called life is a root prompt.

I addressed this issue over here: Grel has been to lazy? to implement checksum for .39pr1; but if you want to recompile the server, someone has posted the fix to it:
https://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=2912

Scroll down on that page for the code.

Snrrrubspace is no longer under development to my knowledge?

I really didnt intend to sound mean/rude in this post; if it came out that way, my apologies.

you'll also have to disable the security warning for exe checksum mismatch in security.c

or just change it from L_MALICIOUS to L_INFO

not necessary but prevents a red warning every 30 seconds.

Or, global.conf:
[log_sysop]
security=E

And I must say as someone who's been playin' for 6 years now, THANK YOU FOR WRITING ASSS GRELMINAR! (and anyone else who helped

In this Game of life it takes a root prompt to really foul up.

make sure you have

lr.exechecksum = -1;
lr.codechecksum = -1;

to get rid of the version warning.

If you meant the warning that you're not connected to the centeral billing server than there's not much you can do about that, save getting on SSC.

linux_terror · Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2004 1:06 am Post subject:

Yep, they're set to -1, guess I gotta start the biller...I wont even ask as Im sure its ez. Was Ez in subbill at least. Thanks for the responses... other than the warning the zone is running great w/ .039pr1.

Thanks again... linux_terror

I tried smong's TCP biller and it didn't work

Which bit didn't work? Probably a version mismatch in which case editing the version string should be easy.

Hello all, well, just got done with a 12 hour sesion on my newly compiled linux asss server, there is a turret bug in there and I know I saw a post in here somewhere abt. it.....anyway, as for stability it did EXTREMELY well. No crashes at all(phew!) and only a couple of minor oddities other than the turret dealie. That's some crazy sh*t to see btw! Shoulda got a screenshot. Darn! The "other minor oddities" are most certainly more from my config, not the engine.

As a biller I'm using pocob this hopefully is what im supposed to be using. lol seems right. alright this is long...later.

OH! Thanks for the compliment on the avatar CypherJF !! It 's my websites "logo"

The bit where when it tried to connect, it got a NullPointerException:

Code: Show/Hide

I <tcpserver> new connection from 127.0.0.1:1639
java.lang.NullPointerException
at billerprot.mainHandler(billerprot.java:221)
at tcpserver.receive(tcpserver.java:187)
at tcpserver.receive(tcpserver.java:175)
at tcpserver.run(tcpserver.java:254)
I <tcpserver> [null] disconnected
I <tcpserver> [null] Logging out connected players...

Smong · Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2004 8:55 am Post subject:

In tcpserver.java you can try uncommenting line 185:
//if (s.recv.ready())
Or you can go to billerprot.java and insert a line above 221:
if (in == null) return;

I haven't looked at the code for a long time, the 0.4.x versions are due for a complete re-write as a lot of it could be done better. (I've got some ideas for writing it in C, the main hurdle is I don't know any good DB's or how to interface with them).

linux_terror · Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2004 4:44 am Post subject: Mysql for java biller?

Don't know if this'll help ya Smong...
As a linux user for quite some time now I would probably use MySql...It's free, very portable, lightweight, and fasst! You can download it at http://mysql.com ...As far as interfacing with it...do you just need authentication? That shouldn't be all that rough I wouldn't think(I'm not very familiar with pocob). Would there be a way to incorporate the asss code for what your doing as it already interfaces with MySql? Just shooting out ideas...

MySql is free for windows too...
Thought I should add this as ASSS is cross platform.

I'm sure Smong knows about MySQL.

Smong · Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2004 8:27 am Post subject:

I don't know any DB stuff. Currently pocob uses plain text format like:
key:value
With certain keys being the beginning of the entity. Each .dat file is a table and has its own hashtable in the code, ugh. So far this is ok as the TCP protocol is all plain text too.

MySQL would be my first choice, I'll have to learn the API and the 'query' syntax, etc (what I meant by interface) and setup a local server too I suppose.

CypherJF · Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2004 4:11 pm Post subject:

MySQL is very easy to learn

I learned it in a few weeks time of by lookin at other queries and just tryin a bunch of cmds

linux_terror · Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2004 8:26 pm Post subject: 2nd that!

I'll second what CypherJF had to say, if you've done any coding/scripting Mysql is easy. Not to mention there are many graphical tools that can help you immensly with database management. Personally I use Webmin http://webmin.com it's free and manages not only Sql but all of your other servers and system settings from a web interface(verrry powerful). Another High quality helper is of course phpmyadmin http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/ If you need help setting up the DB or any of the tools I'd be happy to SSH in and install them for you. Takes maybe 10 minutes.

You can email me at linux_terror@linuxtorrents.org

Good daze all,
