[urban lantern]

If anyone started sending requests to the map tracker fullmap around an hour or two ago, can you please limit your requests to 1 per minute on fullmap please?

[ember canyon]

🤣

[high sorrel]

That sounds like it'd be handy to limit that lol

Seems... exciting otherwise

[royal quiver]

Just a quick question, but what is everyone's IDE (or text editor if you don't use one) of choice?

[twin forge]

These ^^

[hard mulch]

hello

[foggy osprey]

Jetbrainsss

[ebon garden]

Visual Studio Code

[royal quiver]

I'd also consider myself a Visual Studio user, however I used to use Jetbrains' IDEs but it was a bit irritating to have to install a separate program for each language.

[shadow marsh]

I use Eclipse 😄

[mossy cloud]

I use PHPStorm for my PHP / Laravel work and VS Code for front end NodeJS / JS etc

[unkempt hamlet]

PHPStorm can handle frontend stuff.

PHP Storm is basically a stripped down Idea with powers of WebStorm

[pulsar jungle]

I use PHPStorm both for work and hobby stuff.

[mossy cloud]

User and Role search now integrated 😄

[raw notch]

wrap those cards at same height.. PLEASE

[ember canyon]

Na

That's better to let it messy.

[cinder spear]

display: grid is your friend

[raw notch]

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/card/#card-decks

[cinder spear]

just used display: grid to add this to my status page today

[unkempt hamlet]

But they are all aligned by the content already Not the prettiest example

[cinder spear]

at least until the ping jumps to multiple seconds

...or until I get a real ipv6 address in there

[ember canyon]

Hello

These horn sounds still do not come in crowded places. When will it be all right?

[unkempt hamlet]

That's not the right channel to ask this.

Check the channel topic.

Ok sorry CJMAXİK

[mild swallow]

Anyone here using React?

[unkempt hamlet]

Some do.

[cinder spear]

'tis a part of my day job

[raw notch]

yes

[mild swallow]

I am starting learning react, do you have some suggestion?

[unkempt hamlet]

Learn React

[quartz moth]

CJ is so helpful

[unkempt hamlet]

Vague question demands for a vague answer.

[quartz moth]

Fair enough xD

[unkempt hamlet]

One major skill that developer should learn is how to build the questions correctly.

[raw notch]

have a real idea and implement it.
i should start from react docs on react official site and redux for state management (there are a lot of packages like it)

looking for react boilerplates online on github it's a good start because it install a complete structure implemented with the best practice

[foggy osprey]

Released our custom vacation request system https://i.imgur.com/ux5fhzi.png https://i.imgur.com/bNIXnvt.png

[unkempt hamlet]

Looking nice

[foggy osprey]

Thanks! It uses Laravel with Livewire & Alpine, really nice stuff

[mossy cloud]

Very nice ^-^

[tardy smelt]

Looks clean!

[royal quiver]

You can claim your own request

[foggy osprey]

I mean.. i thought about adding logic to stop that.. but is staff really going to claim their own request?

[unkempt hamlet]

Yes.

[foggy osprey]

Would be interested to see tho, how it would react when you approve your own request to leave.. Since it soft deletes the account

I'll have to test that some time haha

[unkempt hamlet]

Basically, what comes first - account deletion or approving logic. If first, then it should throw an exception because you don't have user data anymore.

[foggy osprey]

Yeah haha. I'll have to build some sort of validation for that then

[royal quiver]

I mean if the staff wanted to take and approve an unreasonably long holiday perhaps, but I guess they'd be found out anyway!

[foggy osprey]

Ye, it sends a Discord notification with ping as well. They wouldn't be able to get away with it unseen haha

(A Discord Android screenshot, not BetterDiscord)

[shadow marsh]

yeah, AMOLED-Skin, ikr

but that looks pretty sick, Phoenix good job!

[foggy osprey]

Thanks

We have the same for driver applications. Recruitment team gets pinged when a new application comes in, so that it can be handled asap

Frontend for the site is made with Tailwind, so it looks smooth as hecc

[shadow marsh]

well, I'm not really in webdevelopment (I tried it, but never got it working properly)

[foggy osprey]

I started messing around with websites when i was like 10, with drag-and-drop stuff like Wix and WordPress haha

And now web dev is my part-time job

[shadow marsh]

Pretty amazing ^^ well, coding is just a hobby for me and I don't want to do that as job 😂 but I have respect to those, who are coding for their job and as hobby I couldn't do that though

[foggy osprey]

Yeah it's both my hobby and job, and that's what I love about it tbh

Working doesn't really feel like working, since I code personal projects as well

[shadow marsh]

Oh well 😄

[ebon garden]

Nice

Im looking to do something similar with my application system but for now we just receive applications through email

[foggy osprey]

If your system works with Laravel, it should be pretty easy to implement

With notifications

[raw notch]

or events

[ebon garden]

Im thinking of maybe doing it with discord webhooks

[foggy osprey]

That would work as well, but it's pretty easy to implement a notification system

https://github.com/laravel-notification-channels/discord e.g.

[shadow marsh]

is laravel making webdevelopment easier?

and do I need knowledge in it?

[ebon garden]

I have to learn web development first

[foggy osprey]

Get yourself familiar with basic webdev languages first. So HTML, CSS, JS, and PHP if you want to learn Laravel

[shadow marsh]

oh RIP....

[ebon garden]

and im probably going to wait until I start getting some growth

[foggy osprey]

Laravel can make development easier for sure, but you still need to know your way around languages haha

[ebon garden]

since i dont need much automation right now

[shadow marsh]

then I'd stay with Java 😂 ngl it's the only and once language I know

[foggy osprey]

Ah, Java, my enemy

[ebon garden]

I only know Python

[shadow marsh]

well, Java because of Minecraft 😛

[foggy osprey]

Had to learn java at school, really didn't like it tbh. But that may also have been because of the teacher haha

[ebon garden]

Im gonna join the coding club once covid ends

so i can learn some more python

[shadow marsh]

and since I know there's a bot api wrapper for java, I also don't just code MC-Plugins, also my Bot is written in 😄

[ebon garden]

Im really starting to forget python aswell

im gonna have to practice

all ive done with py is the discord bot

poggers

after doing about 2 minutes of research ive found a way of doing what i want to do

basically i just send the application data to a google spread sheet

and then use some third party software to send it as a discord embed

[shadow marsh]

Well, I tried HTML, PHP, Java, js and.... idk more 😂 - oh well, C++ I tried.... but I never understood anything... except Java

[urban lantern]

Sorry about the tracker issues lately, trying to track down the bugs

[urban lantern]

I have been forced to put a blanket ratelimit of 20 req/sec on all map tracker endpoints and 1 req/s on /fullmap per ip address.

[raw notch]

for me no problem, i hit every 3 seconds the are endpoint and every minute the fullmap

[ebon garden]

Yay, my new application system works

Thanks to third party applications

[cinder spear]

"The command isn't too complicated" - Starter pack

[raw notch]

always loved the parenthesis pyramid at the end

and seeing the amount of ) seems a callback hell

[meager spoke]

It is a callback hell But works pretty good actually

This is onyl 1/3 of the command anyway

[raw notch]

it's why after two callbacks i start defining an async and working with promises

[foggy osprey]

oh my

[opal arch]

If you have that many conditions and callbacks, there is something wrong

[meager spoke]

I mean, it's just a lot of awaitMessages.then( collected => {})

[unkempt hamlet]

That's why I don't like async

And that's why I like Elixir

[meager spoke]

I'm a trash inexperienced dev so it's okay for me

If it works, then it works.

[next prawn]

Did you all hear of Roblox?

[meager spoke]

🤨

[unkempt hamlet]

If it is not a new progressive programming language, then no

[next prawn]

Roblox Studio

You can create your own game

Own physics

I've been working on an F16 with physics

[royal quiver]

what's this command for?

[unkempt hamlet]

Something with Discord API (I saw an embed reference)

[cinder spear]

let collected = await instead of .then(collected

but that much stuff in one function sounds like 🍝 either way

[meager spoke]

That's the node module, it's called spageht.js

[quick wadi]

This gives me severe anxiety as im starting to learn how to code, but i got told that this kind is bad, but still. Hella demotivating lmao

[cinder spear]

don't worry. It's perfectly normal in this industry to open up an old project, think "what kind of idiot wrote this" only to discover it's your own code.

[quick wadi]

Lol

First learning javascript for my bot tho. Ill prob fail that already...

Me big noob

[royal quiver]

Discord Py is probably easier for beginners

[quick wadi]

i viewed the site and i dont know what to do. its hella unclear what to do.

guys how do i even get javascript? like where i can make those lines and stuff.

pls no booli for my nubness i just dont know how to start

[unkempt hamlet]

Um

What?

[mystic ridge]

Take a look at W3schools. It’s a good starting point

[ebon garden]

Install JavaScript

[quick wadi]

like where can i do this @unkempt hamlet

[ebon garden]

That's visual studio code

[unkempt hamlet]

That's an editor, not a javascript.

[ebon garden]

I think

[quick wadi]

i already dont understand shit

[ebon garden]

You can use any editor

[unkempt hamlet]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

[ebon garden]

You can even use notepad really

[quick wadi]

doing this

[ebon garden]

Great

First learn everything you need to know before starting your first project

[mystic ridge]

Learn the basics first, don't worry about environments and IDEs, that is something for later

[quick wadi]

i dont even know what it is

lol

[unkempt hamlet]

Exactly.

[quick wadi]

correct if i say that ; end a line?

[unkempt hamlet]

Not always. There are some constructions when you don't need to add it. Also, modern syntax doesn't require ; at all.

[quick wadi]

but for JavaScript it does right?

[mystic ridge]

Experiment for yourself and see what happens

You can answer lots of questions like that yourself if you play around and see what the behaviours are, or you can read up on it

[quick wadi]

true

[mystic ridge]

Just whatever you do, don't always take documentation at face value for applications, as you'll often find that things don't work as they should looks at Microsoft

[ebon garden]

I got no idea how JS works

[quick wadi]

me neither. well, duh

[ebon garden]

Lol

[quick wadi]

amps check dms lol

[ebon garden]

hehe

[cinder spear]

even JS doesn't know how JS works

you get nonsense like [] == ![] equals true

[raw notch]

ahah

[cinder spear]

reasons why you always want === or even better, typescript

[raw notch]

just needed to use === because need to check null, true or false in separate ways 😄

stupid js

[cinder spear]

IIRC that specific example has to do with [], which is truthy, being converted to a string for comparison "", which is falsey, which matches ![], which is just false.

[raw notch]

i'm reading a code wrote 3 years ago.. and i'm... WTF I DID HERE

[quick wadi]

me not knowing what you guys are talking about

[high plank]

I half know whats going on

[unkempt hamlet]

Closure

[quick wadi]

what i shared with amps. thought it would be funny

[cinder spear]

happens a lot...

maybe the code from 2016 is so good it's not a good idea to change it said no-one ever

[twin forge]

Did someone say Javascript and Nonsense? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308225783715856386/741247261798957076/image0.jpg

[cinder spear]

how's this? https://3v.fi/s/GnFXi

[ebon garden]

[foggy osprey]

Looks better!

[shadow marsh]

that's awesome, 3v!

[quick wadi]

Why do i feel addressed...

[foggy osprey]

Is there a rate limit on the TMP API? I have some features in mind for our VTC system, and would like to know if there is a max amount of requests per minute/hour/day that I need to keep in mind.

I won't be spamming the API ofc , just would like to know if I may run into any issues.

[cinder spear]

API Consumers who require high rates of requests against our APIs should contact Krashnz, ShawnCZek, J-M & Kat_pw with a rationale and contact email for high-rate usage.

[foggy osprey]

Ye i saw that, just wondering what is seen as "high rates"

[quartz moth]

@foggy osprey CJ said 60 requests per limit around 7 months ago but that could have changed #programming message

[unkempt hamlet]

60 reqs/minute is enough, yes.

[graceful belfry]

I mean what would you need that many requests for

[foggy osprey]

All good then, I won't be passing that limit

[narrow cove]

Hello :) Does anyone know a good resource with assembly x64 tutorials/examples? For windows...

[mossy cloud]

Has anyone got a link to the TMP API Docs please?

[rugged copper]

https://stats.truckersmp.com/api

[mossy cloud]

Thanks 🙂

Why it's under stats confuses me xD

[unkempt hamlet]

I knew that question will be next ><

[mossy cloud]

It's all good I'll just bookmark it 😂

[unkempt hamlet]

We are planning to migrate API docs to more appropriate space, don't have any time do to it properly

[rugged copper]

Could stick it on github pages and make it open source 😄

[unkempt hamlet]

We want to do something like OpenAPI

[rugged copper]

❤️

[cinder spear]

open source docs 💯

[urban lantern]

goes grpc only instead

[cinder spear]

twirp is better

[wooden glade]

Hi, I wondered if someone could maybe help me? I'm looking to add a PHP maintenance switch mode/script to my website. So for example when I want the whole website to redirect to the maintenance screen I can just change a value. I've tried looking on Google and Github etc. for the solution but I have come to a stand still

[unkempt hamlet]

There are couple of ways to do that

First one - just a conditional redirect to a maintenance page

Other options might emerge once you tell us what framework(s) are you using for your project.

[wooden glade]

Ahh ok, how would I go about doing that? I'm not currently using any frameworks PHP wise at least if that makes sense?

I'm still learning PHP to be honest lol

[unkempt hamlet]

In Laravel, for example, there is a middleware that checks for an environment variable. If it is true, then redirect to a maintenance page (and other underlying framework-specific stuff).

So, you need to store a variable somewhere to check it out before the start of your application.

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/configuration#maintenance-mode

[wooden glade]

Ahh ok, I'll have to look in to that. Thank you 🙂 I've never used Laravel

[unkempt hamlet]

Some can use something like redirects in Cloudflare.

[wooden glade]

Ahh ok, nice

[unkempt hamlet]

Anyway, the logic is to somehow break your application sequence and show the maintenance page instead.

[wooden glade]

Yeahh, that makes sense to be fair. I tried using some simple PHP code some had suggested on stack overflow but for some reason none of them worked, I'm not sure what I did wrong lol

[mossy cloud]

Are you coding in procedural PHP without a framework?

[wooden glade]

I think so, i'm new to PHP still learning so not tried any frameworks yet

[unkempt hamlet]

Maybe you're trying to redirect after you have your first piece of html (payload) sent.

[mossy cloud]

Sure 🙂 Which web server are you using? Apache or Nginx?

[wooden glade]

Apache 🙂

My current code:

<?php require_once './assets/inc/config.inc.php';
if(maintenance == 1) {
header('Location: ./maintenance.php');
}
else {
// do nothing
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hidden page | Roqitt Hosting</title>

    <!-- CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/maintenance.min.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hidden web page</h1>
</body>

</html>

[mossy cloud]

Okay, create a file in your root (where your server files are) called .htaccess

And in that file, when you want to enable Maintenance Mode, have the following:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from <your ip> 

[unkempt hamlet]

Well, it should be $maintenance

[mossy cloud]

I would recommend using nginx where possible as it allows for more advanced possibilities, but you can't go too wrong with Apache 🙂

[wooden glade]

Ahh ok thank you

[wooden glade]

Ohh my bad, I'll try that now haha

[quick glen]

And just to clarify, what Penguin talked about there is a completely separate way to do maintance mode than from doing it in php 😉

[mossy cloud]

Indeed

[unkempt hamlet]

Yeah. It is used if your whole application needs to be offline.

[quick glen]

Another thing: header('Location: ./maintenance.php'); the location here needs to be an actual url, not a file. You can imagine it like php telling your browser to go look somewhere else

[unkempt hamlet]

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

[wooden glade]

Ohh ok, yeahh that would make sense to be fair. I'm just so used to doing files paths in HTML and CSS I just presumed it would work the same lol. My bad

[unkempt hamlet]

Also, just for the future - do not use loose comparison operator ==, use a strict one === for your own sake

[wooden glade]

Ohh ok. Is there a reason behind this? 🙂 - I'm just curious as I'm learning 🙂

[unkempt hamlet]

Here https://www.copterlabs.com/strict-vs-loose-comparisons-in-php/

[wooden glade]

Thank you, honestly I really appreciate it 🙂

[unkempt hamlet]

No worries.

[quick wadi]

[quartz moth]

@unkempt hamlet Is a .xpi file going to be included for Firefox?

[unkempt hamlet]

We'll see. I am thinking of providing a zip file with the code for a manual installation, Chrome and Firefox binaries will be from stores

Just need to write a proper workflow

[quartz moth]

Oki cool 😄

[near drum]

Hi.

I'm not finding in the API documentation, the variable to receive the total count of players playing.

[foggy osprey]

I don't think there's a way to get a total amount from the API, but you can get the amount per server: https://stats.truckersmp.com/api#servers

You could write a custom function to add those numbers up 🙂

[near drum]

ok thanks

[raw notch]

no it's not, sum all players for each server

[unkempt hamlet]

[shadow marsh]

I guess /* nice */ is a comment, though?

[unkempt hamlet]

Yes

[quartz moth]

@unkempt hamlet Just a small bug I guess with the new extension you've made, it shows that they are in a VTC even if they aren't. If that makes sense via the screenshot. Just thought I'd point it out 😄

[unkempt hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/homero-simpson-out-d-oh-gif-15451551

[quartz moth]

Also really good work with the extension, I find it really useful to see if players are adding me just because I've banned them

[unkempt hamlet]

Will be fixed in the next release, thanks

[unkempt hamlet]

Oh wow, Cloudflare Pages is a great straightforward experience.

[foggy osprey]

I've been loving the TMP Steam helper extension so far, great work CJ! Has been super helpful multiple times already

[mossy cloud]

Has anyone used Summernote here?

I'd like to prevent the insertion of images into a WYSIWYG editor

[quartz moth]

I have used it before @mossy cloud

[mossy cloud]

Any ideas? 🙂

[quartz moth]

When you are initialising it you should be able to select that is on the toolbar

I found this on their website

[mossy cloud]

Yeah I'm not looking for the ability to insert images, I want it to automatically remove them if a user pastes them in

We've had way too many examples of people pasting emojis in and it then shows full size when we view it

[quartz moth]

Ye so if you don't add that in maybe it doesn't show

Not too sure about that though

[mossy cloud]

This is how one ticket came out xD

[quartz moth]

[mossy cloud]

I'll either have to do it Summernote side / JS or on the HTML Purifier

[foggy osprey]

If you can't find a way to do it in Summernote, perhaps just a quick and dirty preg_replace in your PHP?

Im guessing that it outputs html code, so you should be able to filter out any img tags

Or even better, PHP has this: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

[mossy cloud]

I found a way, so works great now, thanks though ❤️

@raw notch I assume you're aware of this but the Trucky overlay VTRPC shows an Iveco Hi-Way as the Iveco Stralis.

Same issue also applies to the TMP one...

[raw notch]

you mean the big image?

[royal quiver]

maybe it's something to do with the game, as TMP also has the same issue...

[raw notch]

truck model name directly from the game

ask SCS

[royal quiver]

Oh wow

[royal quiver]

this new Trucky VTRPC feature is so awesome

[raw notch]

actually is not documented feature

[royal quiver]

oh wow, it's still pretty cool

[raw notch]

if you like RPC, you will love what's coming

[shadow marsh]

Yeah, dow is a pretty good ingineur regarding that - glad we have him he does an amazing job with Trucky in general

[royal quiver]

?

[raw notch]

absolutely not 😄

@shadow marsh is a Patron and a Tester so he knows a lot of things 😄

[shadow marsh]

Of course ^^

[rigid zenith]

Downmeister Is it hard it change the rpc image in trucky

[worldly tulip]

@rigid zenith You can check Trucky KB for that, it's not hard

[narrow flame]

Is there a place where you provide a free virtual server or do you know?

[unkempt hamlet]

No.

[narrow flame]

It's providing a service here in Turkey and Azure and yet he wants to grace the front of a card. Unfortunately I can not give it either. Is there a different way?

[raw notch]

it depends what you want to do, but heroku gives free nodes for little applications

[narrow flame]

I am planning to monitor a website using languages ​​such as PHP, Node.js.

[raw notch]

If you want to monitor a website, usi Cloudflare workers status page :D

[mossy cloud]

or Statuscake 😄

[narrow flame]

😄

Ahh ridiculous google translate, I noticed new. Actually, what I mean is publishing a website using these languages.

Hey,
So I've made a custom Discord RPC but it only runs if I goto the Directory of it and run "node index.js" does anyone know how to make it run automatically?

[unkempt hamlet]

Automatically where?

[raw notch]

in his mind

[ember sorrel]

Like you'd open the rich presence and it run like automatically or is that not possible?

[unkempt hamlet]

Um... You fill RP with your own data, not vice versa.

Rich Presence doesn't know about your script a damn thing.

[raw notch]

he wants to start node index.js at windows startup

[ember sorrel]

yea ^

[unkempt hamlet]

If you do that while Discord is closed, it will crash.

It is better to do that manually, with a shortcut on a Desktop, for example

[raw notch]

not necessarily

[unkempt hamlet]

Depends on how you process the exceptions, but I don't have high hopes.

[shadow marsh]

Well, my app doesn't crash, if my discord is closed but I guess, that's true ^

[raw notch]

because are websockets fundamentally, so the error is an event

it tries to connect over and over and over until discord opens

this new laravel with WSL2 + docker + sail is damn nice

[raw notch]

mmmm maybe no...

[cinder spear]

a lot of different ways to autostart something in Windows, and it's easy enough to detect if Discord is running and only run rich presence when it is

[dusty flume]

use pkg

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pkg

[raw notch]

or nexe

[dusty flume]

then just add to auto start

but add to auto start discord too

[dusty flume]

i dont hear that package

[unkempt hamlet]

Or node index.js in bat

[dusty flume]

no.

[raw notch]

if you dont know it, does not means it doesnt exists 😄

[dusty flume]

you cant auto run bat (if i remember)

[dusty flume]

[shadow marsh]

Hey guys,

a friend and me are working on a special for our server designed launcher. So far, so good - I need now help for the Web-API (I'd like to do).

As the Server is whitelisted, I want to add this to the launcher. As I have the player's UUID there, I'd like to have an request to my (afterwards) self-written API, if this user is whitelisted or not (and maybe also display some other data from a different table though) - Anyway, I do NOT have any experience in Web-Development, so it would be awesome, if you could tell me, how I can realise this: https://prnt.sc/10i6wfl to api.mydomain.eu/whitelist/<uuid> and get the enabled as JSON from it. So we can parse this in the launcher.

Any help is apreciated Thanks in Advance!

[quartz moth]

Assuming you are just using PHP @shadow marsh the most simple way would be to set the header to return JSON and just echo whatever content you want

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);

I'm on my phone so I can't really type anything special out and I'm sure there are better ways to do it but that should work

[shadow marsh]

Alright, I'm trying to work with that ^^ hopefully I'm not too stupid for that 😂

[shadow marsh]

Okay, with a bit help of a tutorial, I got it working and I kinda understand it now 😂

never thought I manage it to get it running ngl

[shadow marsh]

Yeah, just don't kill me for the names - but I did some APIs now - thanks again!!!

[quartz moth]

No problem

[limber hill]

If someone is new to programming, what language should he/she learn first? C++, Java,JS?

[unkempt hamlet]

Try them all and choose for yourself

[timber stag]

depends on what you want to doo

[shadow marsh]

I also created now a pretty basic (ugly xD) Site for the API-Docs http://api.redicraft.eu/ I dunno what I should think about that ngl

[mossy cloud]

Some documentation is always better than no documentation so great job :)

You can't see the links very well against the background tho

It doesnt show what type of request to make, and what I should expect back? I can work out they're GET requests but it should say this

[shadow marsh]

wellll 😅 I know, I need to re-color them somehow. And they are all GET-requests but I will check that out, how to do that ^^ thanks for your criticsm :3

[mossy cloud]

No worries, not saying it to put you down, just to encourage you :)

[sand berry]

.

[raw notch]

@shadow marsh i'm dying..

[shadow marsh]

I know

I will fix that asap

[tardy smelt]

You should look at using a framework too like Laravel

[shadow marsh]

Well, I just used a template, added my own photos and removed things that I don't need

it's a wonder, that this site even runs 😂

[foggy osprey]

I think JM means for the API itself

[shadow marsh]

Well, that is possible

but I do not know, if our webserver supports that

and also, I am not a webdeveloper at all - I just did that, as my other Developer needs something to work with. It's not really meant to be public anyway until we have a good webdeveloper who cares about that thing - but that will never happen 😂

[timber stag]

php poo

[timber stag]

(this in english: I dont know php and never needed to use it)

[mossy cloud]

Have a look at Lumen, It's a laravel micro-framework
I use that for APIs

[shadow marsh]

I don't even know, what you guys are talking about 😂 not gonna lie, I'm a native Java-Developer, I do NOT understand anything from Webdevelopment - the API was made in less than 30 mins and it does, what it should do Laravel here, Lumen there, I dunno about anything and I guess, I even don't have a license for that nor the webserver who supports such... whatever that actually all is I feel kinda lost now

[mossy cloud]

Do you have good knowledge of NodeJS at all?

[green forge]

[slim pendant]

Read up what web servers are available for your favorite language as example for node there is express or for python theres flask, rust rocket-rs etc. Then get a grip on what requests are and how they work, then routing and maybe websockets if you need to send a lot of data in a short period

[shadow marsh]

Negative I really just know java

[shadow marsh]

Well, my favorite language is Java obviously. I never was a web developer and I never will be one the API does, what it should do and we don't need more yet

[raw notch]

so, go for apache and deploy your f*** WAR!!!

:D

always liked the acronym WAR in java.. is funny

[shadow marsh]

[timber stag]

if java is your favorite im worried for your sanity

Well, currently learning Python, moving onto a software development course next semester (hopefully), although looking to improve my web development knowledge etc, and kinda want to allow others to join in on the project.

[unkempt hamlet]

If you just need to share code and have a review features, Github/Gitlab are your friends. There are some other features like Wikis, Planning boards, etc.

oh wow, why didn't I think of that?

[cinder spear]

what's wrong with having no bans?

[azure fox]

ahh is it only active bans

[cinder spear]

no

[azure fox]

then it does not work

[green forge]

You can still see bans From a while back if it’s selected as public

[cinder spear]

got an example broken ID?

[green forge]

If it’s private then you won’t see any bans I don’t think

[azure fox]

ive tried 4 ids

[cinder spear]

I've tried 1 and got bans, so I have a 100% success rate so far

[azure fox]

ye @green forge was right if there history is private u cant see it

[cinder spear]

but will they really

also 10 megabytes of json is excessive for an initial loading screen

apparently according to pcgamer it's already out

Rockstar said that it would apply some of t0st's learnings in an update, and now it has: A patch has been released for GTA Online that implements the fix, and the results are immediately obvious.

[dusty falcon]

Hello 🙂 I am looking for some help with C# and API problems, if someone could give us a helping hand 😦

[unkempt hamlet]

Don't ask to ask, just ask.

[shadow marsh]

Okay, I need now your help (again) - i have §task here, is it possible to do an if statement, to get, if it's as example uuid_trimmed, uuid_full, userid or name?

So ppl can use one of four methods to get a player's info from our API (Code below)

[raw notch]

sincerely i didnt understand what you mena Maurice..

[shadow marsh]

well, you do currently isUser.php?user=<UUID>, but I want to allow ?name=AUserName or ?userid=1234 or ?uuid_full=<The UUID with "-"> and ?uuid_trimmed=<UUID without "-">

Well, in other words - is it possible to do a check, if it's ?name, ?userid, ?uuid_full or ?uuid_trimmed - the result should always be the same, so you can use 4 possible things to get an user from our API - is it more understandable?

[raw notch]

so you have to do something like isset($_GET["user"]) then select * from bla bla bla where uuid = ${task}
isset($_GET["name"]) then select * from bla bla bla where name = ${task}
isset($_GET["userid"]) then select * from bla bla bla where userid = ${task}

you have to check what's the parameter send and do the query accordingly

[shadow marsh]

ahh ^^ okay, will try that, thanks dow

[shadow marsh]

Okay, I kinda messed around now, but I still don't know, where I should put that exactly (I will attach a screenshot)

I mean, $task can't work, as I commented it out, but still I'm a noobie in PHP

[past shuttle]

Question for you all specifically web development related, do you all prefer to use a framework such as bootstrap? do you prefer to create your own framework? does it depend on the type of website that you use either?

[mystic ridge]

I see no reason not to use a framework, why reinvent the wheel unless you have specific case requirements? There are a variety of frameworks out there that have a range of feature sets

[mossy cloud]

I live and breathe Laravel when I do my projects 🙂

i have a config json in a variable called config
I get from my client side the key that i want to change in the form of "key1.key2"
If i then wanted to set that key in the json to something else, how would i do it?

I cant just simply config[optionToChange] because its "key.key"

hope thats not too confusing

[past shuttle]

How do you all edit bootstrap? do you all just create a new css file? edit the bootstrap.css file? just curious to see what you all do, not really sure if there is a "best way" of oding things

Btw i have not done this kind of things properly for years now so I may be a little slow

[unkempt hamlet]

SCSS

[dusty falcon]

How do I show content from an API inside a windows Form? e.g TMP Server List (C#) I'm having trouble with this.

[raw notch]

you should use SASS and scss file overriding bootstrap variables

overriding bootstrap class per class is not a good idea

[dusty falcon]

I have class where I could get all the API data from TMP (server list)

Then in my main form I wrote this code

But nothing appears. What am I doing wrong? 😦

[unkempt hamlet]

Request is asynchronous

It won't have the data at the moment of building the form. Wait for the data to appear, then trigger this form.

Or update the contents on the fly.

[cinder spear]

1. in your panel's paint you're creating a new Sinfo, but never assigning any values to it, so the variables are going to have their respective zero values (0 for numbers, empty string for strings)
2. you're not assigning the data from your parsed json to anything.

It seems like you want something along the lines of calling ServerList.Main() when your form loads and having that return the parsed Sinfo instance(s) for the form to use and reuse. (Would also recommend renaming the method. Main is not descriptive of what it does.)

[dusty falcon]

How should I do it in order to get what i'm looking for ? (to show the list of servers) 😦 I've been like 4 weeks on this.

[past shuttle]

Wait, how exactly would work? unless I am missing something very vital lamo

Am I correct in guessing its recommended to use ReactJS with bootstrap?

[raw notch]

not necessary. bootstrap and react could be used with any framework.
For example Bootstrap + React, i love Reactstrap

[past shuttle]

Ah ok, quick question, since Im still new to javascript, would I just import the bootstrap.js into a custom js file? or would I just use the bootstrap.js file? (if this makes sense)

[raw notch]

if you use something like Reactstrap, dont need to import bootstrap.js as separate file. Just use Reactstrap modules and it will take care of all js integrations

if you use it with plain js. Not with React.

https://react-bootstrap.github.io/ or https://reactstrap.github.io/ . I prefer reactstrap

[past shuttle]

Im guessing reactstrap 4 is only compatible with bootstrap 4?

[raw notch]

bootstrap 5 is still in beta and reading the changes they are doing, is not suggested to be used in production

[past shuttle]

[raw notch]

i mean, they are changing a lot, deprecating components and replacing them

[unkempt hamlet]

Yeah, they went like 1/4 framework changed last time with BS4 beta

[raw notch]

i think with 5 they arent planning to change so much, but things are changin, is a major, so it's normal

[past shuttle]

Is reactstrap compatible with bootstrap 5? or does it only support the stable versions of bootstrap?

[raw notch]

stable, the 4

"Easy to use React Bootstrap 4 components"

[past shuttle]

I was hoping there was something else I was missing lmao

Time to downgrade

[raw notch]

hardly you could find something already compatible with the v5

specially production ready

[past shuttle]

So, I would just use reactjs to build the website instead of using your typical html file?

[raw notch]

it depends :D

if you use react, could be a bit "against the pattern" including Jquery

because bootstrap needs it

(but I've used Jquery with react for small things because the Dom traversing is easier)

[unkempt hamlet]

Nowadays plain ES6 is up to the battle for DOM traversing

[raw notch]

technology is not always a straight path. it depends on what you have to build, your knowledge, the time :)

[raw notch]

it depends :D

if you want to use react and bootstrap, @past shuttle, i suggest reactstrap.
I've used it in three projects and never complain about it.
I've tried also mdboostrap in react, i didn't like it

[past shuttle]

Ah ok, atm im wanting to build a website with multiple pages such as a homepage, gallery page etc, and then a dashboard once I get that done

Mainly just trying to find the best way to create it, if there is a "best way"

[raw notch]

there isn't, really

you could also consider Laravel, for example, for the backend or with vue / react frontend

[past shuttle]

Was thinking reactstrap for front end tbh

[raw notch]

I'm approaching now vue in Laravel, is nice

[raw notch]

for me, is a good choice, personally

[past shuttle]

Bootstrap comes with react strap correct? or would I have to install that separately?

[raw notch]

iirc with bootstrap, fundamentally reactstrap use only the css framework because reimplement all components in JSX

[past shuttle]

ah ok

[raw notch]

is why is really useful, instead of struggling with divs and classes you write only <FormGroup> or <Card>

[past shuttle]

Ah ok

Atm this is what I have, would I be missing anything vital?

[raw notch]

oh never look at node_modules :D or you will be scared as much packages are there :D

is like a black hole

[neon crater]

Hey, I want to make a program that is able to set game / configuration variables that effects the current game. I haven't really used the SCS SDK so not sure where to look or start 😅. Any help would be great

[trail vector]

Well, the SCS SDK are read-only values, you can't edit/write anything with it. So if you want to change any config variables in the game without restarting you'll have to call some game function(s) directly, something like this. #programming message. With the cmd_execute function you can, as the name would suggest, execute a command in the game console and edit config variables that way.
Now, the addresses in that code are not correct anymore as they change when the game updates. Here's the new one for ETS2 (v1.39.4.17s): 0x00000001401B67A0. I don't have the one for ATS because I'm in 1.40 for that.

[neon crater]

Ah, great thanks 🙂

[neon crater]

Hey, sorry for the second ping. This might be being bad at c++ but I'm trying to run the commands with the updated address hex? (idk what the term would be) though I'm thrown a 'Access violation executing location' error. My first idea would be something to do with the address not being correct or the program not being able to find the process? Thanks again

Full error

Unhandled exception at 0x006767A0 in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation executing location 0x006767A0.

[unkempt hamlet]

This is very interesting to watch https://youtu.be/s3wS1Dd3FFs

ooo that's neat new Discord function

[royal quiver]

Just imagine the features you could get with the power of Microsoft Bing

[trail vector]

I'm pretty new to all this myself, but that code has to be injected into the game process as a DLL to be able to call functions like that. You can either do this with the SCS SDK, that will load it automatically when the game starts. Or you can inject it yourself with an external program.

[next crane]

cmd_execute
ATS (v.1.39.4.5): 0x00000001401B4580

[opal arch]

Are you sure you are using v1.39.4.17s in ETS2? Also, where do you get this error? And how do you inject that DLL to the game process? Do you make that as a plugin?

[past shuttle]

Anyone able to help out with my annoying issue? 🙂

[quick glen]

@past shuttle https://dontasktoask.com/ 😉

[raw notch]

actually he already asked :D

[quick glen]

Right

ok

Did not see that 😅

[raw notch]

are you compiling bootstrap with sass?

[past shuttle]

Yeah

Well

Not Sass, but SCSS

Cant remember if its still the same file type or not lmao

[raw notch]

yeah the same

[past shuttle]

Ah ok thought so

[raw notch]

show your scss entry point, example style.scss where you are importing bootstrap, your variables and your custom classes

[past shuttle]

I assume you mean this?

[raw notch]

ok your variables scss must be at the top, before all other bootstrap scss

[past shuttle]

Should I just ignore this?

[raw notch]

well no, because is an error 😄

mine is

@import "custom";
@import "../../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";

and i'm using darken() in custom.scss

[past shuttle]

Oh

[raw notch]

and darken is a built-in sass function

https://sass-lang.com/documentation/modules/color#darken

[past shuttle]

Thats in the bootstrap variables file, which I didnt touch

[raw notch]

ah wait, the error is not darken is not defined but $color is an invalid object

[past shuttle]

Yeah, its $link-color but idk where thats used tbh

[raw notch]

are you using a bootswatch theme?

[past shuttle]

looks like I found it

$link-color:                              theme-color("primary") !default;

[raw notch]

$link-color:                $body-color !default;
$link-hover-color:          darken($link-color, 15%) !default;
$link-hover-decoration:     none !default;

[past shuttle]

I've got a bad feeling im using the wrong bootstrap version lmao

Somehow

[raw notch]

it's why theme-color is a bootstrap function

if you need to use the primary, you should override the $primary variable

and then $link-color: $primary

using the $primary variable is the gateway for the correct bootstrap customization, the default is blue, but if you want red with all shades (darken and lighter colors), define $primary is the way

[past shuttle]

Decided just to import all bootstrap tbh

[raw notch]

but always after your variables

[past shuttle]

got both variables and bootstrap in my custom.scss although nothing seems to have changed

[raw notch]

almost now should be correct. so you defined the $spacer in your variables?

[past shuttle]

yeah

[neon crater]

Sorry for the late reply, Yeah I'm using 1.39.4.17s, should of thought it needed injecting via DLL. Would you recommend any software for the injection? With it being an injected DLL how would you recommend with passing data / commands to be run, as in passing the command called in twitch chat to the DLL or would you just manage it within the DLL

[neon crater]

^

[quick glen]

@neon crater You do not actually need to inject it, if you are making it as a plugin then the game "injects it" for you.

What you are doing with the cmd_execute is function hooking using memory addresses. The addresses you've seen in this channel (ex. 0x00000001401B4580) are offsets from the base memory address of the game when its running. The base memory address of the game changes from each time you start the game (* it might not, depends on a lot of factors, but its not static and will vary from computer to computer, restart to restart) as its decided by windows where the game fits in ram, so you would have to get this dynamically and then add the offset to the function you want to execute. Now one very important aspect of this is that the offsets change for every single different build of the game (with rare exceptions). If the version number changes, you need to find a new offset to make it work with that new version.

[neon crater]

Ah ok. Do you have any links / examples for creation of a new ets2 plugin that I could use. In regards to the offsets, where do these come from and how are the obtained so I can update in the future? With passing the commands to be run, would a websocket work? i.e. have a local websocket server and send commands to be run into the DLL

[quick glen]

In the scs telemetry sdk there's a couple of working example plugins that you can use/modify to have a plugin going https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Documentation/Engine/SDK/Telemetry

The offsets come from reverse engineering the game; looking at the assembly code of the game, debugging the game and finding the function you're looking for. Theres a lot of ways to do this. Could even be automated by signature searching.

As for websockets.. Yeah. Its possible.

[neon crater]

Ah ok, this is great. Thanks for the help

@neon crater As the basis of your plugin, you can use the example from SCS, and further develop it for your tasks. You can find a basic example in the plugin folder \examples\telemetry.

If you plan to use cmd_execute within the plugin, it is better to do it within the SCS_TELEMETRY_EVENT_frame_end event, it's more safely.

If I understand the task correctly, you plan to establish a connection to your server for receive/send some commands. You can look to the side Socket.IO
https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-cpp
https://socket.io/

[neon crater]

Thanks for the tips, I was thinking of using Socket so I'm glad there is a library.

Hello

Can you help me how i get subscriber role?

No way

[north flax]

Good

[jovial jetty]

Why does @hazy night use Discord.js commando?

🤣

[unkempt hamlet]

What's wrong?

[jovial jetty]

It's just ew innit

[unkempt hamlet]

What's wrong, again?

[jovial jetty]

I didn't say anything was wrong?

It's just ew

[unkempt hamlet]

Bruh

It doesn't make any sense.

[jovial jetty]

Just strange that it's made in TypeScript and uses Commando, something which was designed for those who are new(ish) to Discord.js or programming in general

[unkempt hamlet]

Who said it was designed for that?

[raw notch]

because Commando is simply great

[jovial jetty]

sarcasm?

[balmy tinsel]

Commando is quite simply not great and there are far better alternatives for an easier development experience in discord.js

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raw notch]

like what for example?

[balmy tinsel]

Source: I made several bots that I decided to never release lul

[raw notch]

because i didnt found anything good like Commando

[balmy tinsel]

Akairo

Far easier to use

And works brilliantly

Once you figure out a few of the little nuances in it, it works far better than Commando could ever dream to

[unkempt hamlet]

I don't need to use API directly if I can just use commando and have more time to make my application better, just like any other packages

[balmy tinsel]

Nah i dont think you're getting what I'm saying mate honestly

Akairo is a discord.js framework just like Commando

There's plenty out there

[jovial jetty]

Pure Discord.js > any Discord.js framwork

[balmy tinsel]

that's fact

make your own command handler

[unkempt hamlet]

If I know commando very fine, why should I consider any other package?

[balmy tinsel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unkempt hamlet]

It suits my needs

[balmy tinsel]

it's your choice ofc

[unkempt hamlet]

Exactly

[balmy tinsel]

am not saying u should switch

[jovial jetty]

👀

[balmy tinsel]

just saying there's way better alternatives and commando can be a bit shit

[opal blade]

@jovial jetty

[unkempt hamlet]

It is going nowhere

[balmy tinsel]

just like my life

[mossy cloud]

If it works it's not ew

[jovial jetty]

personal prefernece

[unkempt hamlet]

Exactly

[balmy tinsel]

big up on that one

I've used akairo for all my bots since making the worst command handler to ever exist

and akairo works beautifully

[unkempt hamlet]

"commando is not fine because of this, this and that, use akairo because this, that and particularly this one" - good recommendation
"commando ew, akairo fine" - bad

[balmy tinsel]

yeah that's a fair stance

akairo has pretty good command handling and allows easier categorising of commands and grouping commands of the same type together without needing to write an over-complicated command handler

it also has a lot of built in utils too

that can be done using raw d.js but akairo makes it waaaay easier

i can also copy paste my template bot and get a bot up in 5 mins

[past shuttle]

Btw was anyone able to figure out why my spacers dont work?

[balmy tinsel]

spacers?

eh?

[jovial jetty]

Also, CJ, does botranktir use prettier or a code formatter?

[balmy tinsel]

Beautiful code is best code

[unkempt hamlet]

Can't remember

[jovial jetty]

I just ran prettier --write . and some files are bruh

[balmy tinsel]

[jovial jetty]

42ms to format

[unkempt hamlet]

I prefer standardjs personally

[jovial jetty]

[balmy tinsel]

prettier is love

prettier is life

once i started using prettier on my files, never gone back to anything else

[unkempt hamlet]

You should see my changes count after Twitch Plays stream

[balmy tinsel]

Oh god

I really wanna get back into bot dev tbh

But I just have 0 ideas XD

[past shuttle]

#programming message Since some people were confused

[jovial jetty]

Oh, y'all just use StandardJS to format your code

That's what does it ew prettier makes the file 10x longer but looks sick

[balmy tinsel]

Never used bootstrap so can't be of any help unfortunately

[jovial jetty]

and more lines = looks like it does more

[balmy tinsel]

I agree

[unkempt hamlet]

I mean, code conventions is not a number of lines

What are you talking about?

[balmy tinsel]

Code formatting

[jovial jetty]

Botrankir uses standardjs to format

But i prefer prettier

[balmy tinsel]

Making the code look ✨ pretty ✨

[jovial jetty]

anyway im off to

[balmy tinsel]

[unkempt hamlet]

I have a minor occurrence of serious brain damage about this sentence, sorry. It doesn't make any sense.

[past shuttle]

So quick question for those who are some what experienced with bootstrap sass, so atm I have my $spacers all done, how would I use that in normal CSS, what I mean is that currently I have these $spacers

$spacer: 1rem !default;
    $spacers: () !default;
     // stylelint-disable-next-line scss/dollar-variable-default
    $spacers: map-merge(
        (
        0: 0,
        1: ($spacer * .25),    //4px
        2: ($spacer * .5),     //8px
        3: $spacer,            //16px
        4: ($spacer * 1.5),    //24px
        5: ($spacer * 3),      //48px
        6: ($spacer * 4),      //64px
        7: ($spacer * 5),      //80px
        8: ($spacer * 6.25),   //100px
        9: ($spacer * 7.5),    //120px
        10: ($spacer * 9.375)  //150px
       ),
    $spacers
);

How would I add this onto normal CSS, atm this is what I have

.py-6 {
    padding: $spacer !important;
}

Honestly kinda confused now

[unkempt hamlet]

https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-android-platform.html

Oh wow

[unkempt hamlet]

Take a look here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/getting-started/theming/#functions

if you want to override Bootstrap values, you have to set the variables, then import bootstrap scss

[mossy cloud]

Is that a slight Portal 2 reference? 😉

[unkempt hamlet]

Might be 🥔

[mossy cloud]

Moron

[opal arch]

There are better alternatives, indeed. But only in certain stuff. Back then, I checked all other frameworks and Commando turned out to be the best one for our needs.
In the future, it will be most likely changed as one of main points will be the support for slash commands, basically. That is a must. And I doubt Commando will have it anytime soon.

[ember canyon]

Discord.js v13

For Slash Commands

[jovial jetty]

You can handle slash commands on D.js V12

@ember canyon

My Discord.js bot (written in TypeScript) handles them with ease 😎

[ember canyon]

Ye, but you have to install stuffs

I meant natove support.

Such as reply

[jovial jetty]

No. You can use client.on("raw") (shows all gateway events with that client) then filter it down to INTERACTION_CREATE and that is a slash command, then you make a POST request to another endpoint stating the type and data and boom, you have a response to a slash command.
Obviously, I've explained it really really rough, but there is currently a way of doing it and the way I do it on my bot. And it isn't really the easiest thing to do, but hey ho, it does the job and it looks cool & makes it look like I'm way smarter than I actually am-

[ember canyon]

🤣

Ye, but. I'm waiting for v13

[opal arch]

Yeah, or we can completely drop any framework and just use TypeScript. What you are mentioning is a solution, however, not a good one for bigger scale imo

[wild cave]

How can he access these files?

https://github.com/StidOfficial/truckersmp-server

Ghidra?

[unkempt hamlet]

Ask the repo creator

[opal arch]

He cannot access any files. The code there consists of guesses

[shadow marsh]

So it may or may not work?

[unkempt hamlet]

Either working or not, it doesn't comply with our Terms of Service

[shadow marsh]

don't worry, I won't do IFMP or whatever because I'm too stupid for CPP if it was written in Java, perhaps I'd tried it out ngl

[unkempt hamlet]

You'd be more successful to compile a working MP from our old code (https://github.com/MRBlueGame95/ETS2MP) rather than that one.

[royal quiver]

this licence

[shadow marsh]

sweet

[unkempt hamlet]

Some form of WTFPL

[shadow marsh]

but still, I do not have any knowledge about CPP so it's kinda..... useless for me but maybe I will see something, I dunno

[royal quiver]

I have literally no idea how to compile it into something useful

[shadow marsh]

same or which IDE I should choose to work in it

[royal quiver]

I guess QualityMP will have to be put on hold

[shadow marsh]

In case of figuring out CPP and working with this code, I would do a small MP just for friends - means I will add somehow a whitelist - dunno how but it will be possible I guess

[royal quiver]

It probably requires a very old version of ETS, so I don't think a whitelist would be necessary

[shadow marsh]

Well, they can update it, so why can't we do that though

but you are right

[royal quiver]

I think trying to update from that version to 1.39 would be so much work...

[shadow marsh]

indeed

[royal quiver]

TMP has multiple developers and they have had the opportunity to update over time.

[shadow marsh]

And I'm a noob in CPP and don't have ppl who helps me - will kinda be funny

[wild cave]

Isn't it possible for them to access with reverse engineering? Ida pro, ghidra...

Probably mwl4 has taken a security measure for this situation. 😅

[opal arch]

One can never obtain the original source code from the final binary. You can only guess the original names and functionality like here:
<#programming message>

[lost rose]

While looking at the old repository, I wonder why TruckersMP is not open-source now

[unkempt hamlet]

I don't see any reason for it

[lost rose]

If I think about it, then (from my point of view) the disclosure of the source code with a suitable license would lead to more people being able to work on TruckersMP, even though they have no idea about reverse engineering but know how to code in C++. Maybe it would also help people learning how to do reverse engineering. FiveM is also a mp mod (not the same because the offer a mod framework) but if you look at the mp part it is slightly the same thing. tbh I actually don't see any disadvantage if you did it that way

[unkempt hamlet]

The problems are:

1. TruckersMP is pretty niche compared to FiveM, which means less attention and less community in general.
2. The actual cost of the open-source (including time spending) is really high, often without any positive outcome.
3. I don't see us just sending the code in a wild to make ourselves competitors just for the sake of OSS community.
4. The moment you have your code published, the attention from hackers (or script-kiddies) is way higher than usual.
5. Per SCS EULA, nobody can reverse-engineer their code and redistribute it. So, open-sourced TruckersMP can lead to liability.

[wild cave]

Does this mean that no reverse engineering was used when coding the MP?

[unkempt hamlet]

Definitely not, but we have an agreements.

[wild cave]

Scs does not allow this but does not lock its files.

To be honest, Ghidra was opening the core_ets2mp.dll file when it was first released.

[unkempt hamlet]

Discord doesn't allow you but you can see their code client as is.

That's how legal things work.

[lost rose]

1. Wouldn't really say that because the TruckersMP community (and also the ETS/ATS community in general) is still quite large with millions of users.
2. Partly agreed, it takes a bit more time yes, but most of the time will be compensated with external contributions. So you actually save time instead of losing time.
3. That's right, but as you are the "original" truck sim mp mod and have a very big community, you should definitely not be worried about that.
4. Partly agreed. Normal "hackers" aren't interested in truck sims though. But players who manipulate their ingame positions for example could be a problem, but this could be partly solved with server-side checks.
5. Yes, you can't redistribute the reverse-engineered code that's absolutely right, but you can distribute the mp mod code because it is your code and not SCS's code as far as I know

[unkempt hamlet]

but most of the time will be compensated with external contributions
Only if your code is used by many other projects (like Laravel). But you still need to review every single piece of code. That's even harder with open-source community.

With 3, you cannot compare it to FiveM, because GTA itself is made by a multi-billion company who doesn't care about it much. In our case, the possible lose is beyond any positive outcomes.

[lost rose]

From my point of view, code review in open source projects has not been a bad thing. On the contrary, this allows potential bugs to be found before it is released. And there is also a lot of exchange between the contributors.

[opal arch]

I recommend reading the whole conversation that mwl4 took a part in: <#general message>
It is not about open-source projects, it is about multiplayer projects for ETS2. However, a lot of that applies to your question, too. Here is a brief recap:

Old source code has nothing 😉 It is nothing compared to the current source code of truckersmp [...]
Basically creating multiplayer for a game to which you have source codes is very hard, and this will tell you every game developer
What about a game to which you don't have source code? [...]
but the thing is not only about lines of code, but also architecture of code, used solutions, patterns, etc [...]
[...] also GTA has scripting engine, so it makes a lot things easier 😄 [...]
about fivem: because of many contributors into code there is (or was) problem with server linux build; https://forum.fivem.net/t/important-fivem-linux-server-builds-at-risk/196509
So many contributors does not mean that code is fine 😉 [...] sometimes you spot insecure code in open source after few years; https://twitter.com/3lbios/status/1087855341226942465
From my point of view, yes, this community has a lot of developers. But so far from what I have seen, there is hardly anybody who would make great additions to the code. The required skill level is just too high (it is not just about C++ language); only getting used to the reverse engineering part and the whole code base takes too much time.
Additionally, count the points mentioned by CJMAXiK. At the end, people would just use something we create in exchange for our time.

[next crane]

@lost rose In the context of the above, you can start with yourself. Start posting your research in the framework of reverse engineering of the game, your achievements and your code for community. Otherwise, your suggestion looks like "give me your code and we will do something about it within the community". It doesn't work that way.

I tried blender and it was too complicated for me.

[quick glen]

@naive yacht It would be better to describe what the job actually is aswell.. See: https://dontasktoask.com/

[naive yacht]

Its to create a website to a vtc

[lilac aurora]

Perhaps you should read our #discord-rules 4.11

[livid shoal]

Hello humans, cats and vehicles.
I'm developing a big platform for the government. It is mainly for the emergency services. When it's done I'll have to expand it to other related services that I can't disclose here as they're classified projects.

Nevertheless, I need help and suggestions in regards to the audit log. As you may expect, all transactions and movements on the platform have to be logged.

At the moment, I simply have a table with the logs, but the thing is with storing what changed. Here's how it is stored:
postAudit(entity, user, title, action, table, old, new, client)

• entity, is the entity that the user works at
• user, is the user
• title, is a small description of what the user did
• action, is the operation like update, create, delete, etc.
• table, is the table of the record
• old, stores the previous data that was in the records
• new, stores the new record
• client, stores the user device information like MAC, IP, location, etc.

So, when an auditor opens a log, it contains all the info of that log. The old and new are side by side and the differences are highlighted. However, I don't like how it is being done now, I believe is not efficient because I'm doubling unnecessary data. That's why I'm here asking if someone has some ideas of what and how I can improve this.

I thought I could check if the old data and the new data and only post the fields that where different. But before I re-structure the code to it, I would like to see if there were any suggestions.

Sorry if it sound vague or confusing, there's more behind how the logs work but that's government classified info so that's all I can provide.

[winged schooner]

I'm developing a big platform for the government. and ur asking on a trucking sim community in developer chat. Sounds weird

[raw notch]

by its nature, a log, must be verbose, so if you are doubling data, is necessary to keep coherence in the log

but yes, you should compare the two entities, and if they are different, write a log, otherwise there is no need to write a log if nothing changed

[winged schooner]

including make it basic, make use of uid's

[raw notch]

depending on the language you are using there are many ways to compare objects, from prop to prop or by proprietary language comparison tool

and so on

[livid shoal]

I've asked this here, other communities and also to the other technicians that work in the TI departments. Understanding multiple points of view helps. I could use the log system that they're using, but I couldn't use it the way I intend to.

All IDs are UUIDs

So, I may change the structure to something like this?

• table, the table of the record
• record_id, the affected id
• no_operation, an incremental int
• operation
• user
• entity
• client
• timestamp
• old
• new

I'm just concerned if using the "table" as a field could in some way compromise anything 🤔

[raw notch]

you are missing the "entity type"

ah it's the table?

it's weird to mind on tables on 2021... you should mind on Entities (class names, objects and so on)

[livid shoal]

I use MVC

[raw notch]

and missing also the operation type

[raw notch]

don't see how is related..

operation type = create, update, delete

[livid shoal]

It was for this 😅

I use classes

[raw notch]

old \ new what would be? a JSON serialization of objects?

[livid shoal]

I could do that, yes

[livid shoal]

Well I appreciate your help guys, however I just got told that I will have to change it all to .NET

So yes... RIP work done until now.

[unkempt hamlet]

I mean, that's why technical brief is out there - to outline tools, technologies and qualifications needed for the project.

[livid shoal]

Yeah, like, this project is being worked on for at least 4 years. We've settled on PHP due to some restrictions with .NET. But apparently, changed are being made by the IT "modernisation" department and they won't support PHP in the datacenters for new applications, so yeah... At least the development is on a early stage

[unkempt hamlet]

Government

[livid shoal]

Oh yeah, you don't have an idea of how hard is to make them understand a thing.

[unkempt hamlet]

I do actually

[livid shoal]

Oh, so you know the pain it is

[unkempt hamlet]

Yeah...

[livid shoal]

Well, it is what it is. I guess me and my team will have to learn ASP. Experience is always welcome.

I just hope that they won't change it again.

They're changing everything to AWS

[royal quiver]

AWS is kind of the future though

[unkempt hamlet]

I was an IT architect for a government social guarantees system for quite a while.

[royal quiver]

Cloud computing has a lot to offer. Just look at how much of the web runs on AWS or the Azure today

[livid shoal]

Yes, I think the contract was a good one. AWS also has a very good reputation on their servers, security, performance, almost everything tbh and they already work with many government agencies.

[livid shoal]

Oh, awesome! My objective is a little different. I want to be a National Emergency Coordinator. I have a project that is being evaluated by the government to use AI in the Security Forces and Traffic Enforcement that also includes the digital transaction of many systems.

[unkempt hamlet]

That's a tough task, good luck!

[livid shoal]

It is, probably I won't be the project coordinator as I don't have that experience yet. I will be happy that a project I took 1 year just in research was worth for something. Specially for experience 🙂

Heyyy, small question for devs here.
Why did you guys are not reducing the slots on the Sim1?

Wouldn't it be better to have less players on Sim1, and more players on Sim2? In order to have a balance to get less stress.

I can see than the IP of the Sim1 are not the same as the Sim2, so different machine I assume? The sim2 do not have that problem.

Only the sim1 was really impacted by the OVH fire?

Thanks 😉

[unkempt hamlet]

As said in Dev Update blog post, we are working on possible solutions.

Sim 2 is in different location and at different provider.

This is not to sound boring. I'm just offering a solution as a player! Good luck with the problem solving.
