Try running test.bat manually and seeing if it exits.

Solved. These functions are available after the server is initialized and not in VcmpPluginInit.

I'm trying to create a C# plugin. I have a PlugunFunctions struct but unfortunately a few functions in it don't work.

If, for example, I execute

Code Select Expand

pluginFuncs.LogMessage("%s", "Hello World");
it prints Hello World.
If I execute

Code Select Expand

error = pluginFuncs.GetLastError();
Console.WriteLine(error);
it prints None.

However, if I execute, for example

Code Select Expand

pluginFuncs.SetMaxPlayers(54);
it causes a segmentation fault somewhere (gdb can't figure it out. it just shows the address of the location)
and if I execute

Code Select Expand

StringBuilder serverNameBuilder = new StringBuilder(129);
            VcmpError error = pluginFuncs.GetServerName(serverNameBuilder, (UIntPtr) 128);
            Console.WriteLine("Error code: " + error.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Server name: " + serverNameBuilder.ToString());
it causes a segmentation fault at strcpy.

Here's the relevant code: https://gist.github.com/iFlake/d0bd57a293d92790480535483de84e74

Any idea? I'm summoning @Stormeus since they're working on VC.Net.

Thanks.

You're installing Apache and PHP for no good reason. Not good on a Windows machine. Here's what you do to avoid installing Apache and PHP:

Get MySQL server and shell and install them:
- https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
- https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/shell/

Open a command prompt instance and type
mysql -u root -p
It will ask you for a password, type the password you specified when installing MySQL

Type the following commands into the shell:

Code Select Expand

CREATE USER my_user IDENTIFIED BY 'password_goes_here';
CREATE DATABASE my_database;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my_database.* TO my_user;


It'd be nice, but one of the main advantages of JavaScript is the number of libraries there are out there. Most of the libraries that deal with IO stuff won't work because they rely on Node.JS's API.

No, that's not one of the main advantages of javascript, that's one of the main advantages of node.js. Do not mix up the 2, those are 2 very different things. Javascript is not node.js and node.js is not javascript. Node.js is simply a set of C++ APIs that are made available to a javascript context running on top of V8. I never claimed this to be a node.js plugin, I said this is a javascript plugin, as in, actual ecmascript.  Think of it this way: Nodejs is a set of C++ APIs exposed to a javascript context running on V8. This plugin is a set of Java APIs exposed to a javascript context running on V8. Java was used to rely on the already existing VCMP Java plugin to expose VCMP functionality and to share the same codebase so it's easier to maintain in the future.

I'm aware of that, yeah. But the majority of JavaScript libraries that support networking or disk IO are made for node.js. So you won't really get much benefit in using this. ECMAScript by itself is a terrible language. There was this infamous picture which I can't find right now that shows what happens when you're using some operands with different types.

But yeah, overall, it'll still be better than what we currently have.

If you're going to the effort of writing Squirrel code in an INI file, why not just get rid of the INI part and use dofile?

He means since you are saving the data in ini as pure squirrel code, you can directly use dofile to load all the CreateObject statements from the ini file instead of reading them from ini as strings and then executing them/creating objects with them.

try

Code Select Expand

dofile("objects.ini")and it should load all the objects

You can't dofile an ini, it'll cause errors. You should save them to a .nut file.

Here's a cursor system you can use to manage your cursors

Code Select Expand

Cursor <- {
    "Obtain": function () {
        ++this.Cursors;
        this.Refresh();
    },
    "Release": function () {
        --this.Cursors;
        this.Refresh();
    },

    "ObtainSmart": function (wref) {
        this.Obtain();

        local routine;
        routine = ::Routine(function () {
            if (wref.ref() == null) {
                this.Release();
                routine.Destroy();
            }
        }, 0, 0, this);
    },

    "Refresh": function () {
        ::GUI.SetMouseEnabled(this.Cursors > 0)
    }

    "Cursors": 0
}

You can use Cursor.Obtain() to obtain a cursor and Cursor.Release() to release a cursor. When the total cursor count is 0 the cursor automatically gets destroyed.


Ok that's normal and boring stuff. What's cool is Cursor.ObtainSmart(). Let's say you have a widget class has some elements in it. You construct that class when you want to create that widget and delete all references to it when you want to destroy it. Now squirrel doesn't support a class destructor. This means that you can't release your cursor! But this cursor system will still help you. If you obtain a smart cursor using:

Code Select Expand

Cursor.ObtainSmart(this.weakref());the cursor will automatically be released once all references to your class have been removed.

What plugin is this? Because we have two SQL related plugins. MySQL and SQLite. And I can't find it in neither of them.

He should be asking about FreeSQLQuery of SQLite.

If you don't free your queries, every query will cause your server's memory usage to increase a little. After a while, you will run out of memory.

Does this result in any error or crash? If no, then that issue should not be important.

Doesn't matter. It exists and needs to be dealt with.

Yes. https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php

When you modify something, you gain copyright over what you've created. It also inherits the original copyright which is why there's the apache license notice included in the original header file.

That's not really how copyright works, but it doesn't really matter since this is compatible with the Apache License we use for the SDK anyway.

If you extend some GPL'd software with your own code, your code is under your copyright. You can even put it under a proprietary license. However, you aren't allowed to link them together in that case, since they're incompatible. But like you said, in this case, the MIT license is compatible with the Apache license. So, in this case, it's perfectly alright for this code to have both licenses + copyright notices.

It's the MIT license anyways, which means you can do whatever you want with it.

This is the VCMP SDK in yaml format made so that you can parse it easily in order to generate bindings to it.

Some names might be changed, but the order remains the same so they should still work.

-- Update: Removed redundant const ... notation.
-- Update: Made return types easier to parse.
-- Update: Standardize enumerator formats.
-- Update: Make constant-size lists easier to parse.
-- Update: Make dynamic-size lists easier to parse.
-- Update: Made strings easier to parse. Fixed length of string in struct PluginInfo.
-- Update: Made format strings easier to parse. Made PluginFuncs and PluginCalls separate from Structs.

As for you @UrbanY, Your scripts are based on version 03 which had server-sided UIs. They are deprecated now and will not work on the newer versions. Either stick around on 03 or create proper client side scripts on the latest version.
