Off Topic / Megaupload, Mega network shut down by FBI

And the day after the SOPA strike. The U.S. Department of Commerce still thinks we don't have the "appropriate tools" to take down pirates, and they seize an entire file-sharing network, again. LimeWire, anyone? :-\

Script Showroom / [REL] Stormeus' Extensible Scripts
« on: January 07, 2012, 06:32:42 am »
As usual, I got bored one night and came up with an interesting concept. Instead of having to edit various functions and files to add code you found or to write in a new, complex feature, you can hook and include files to add functionality.

Stormeus' Extensible Scripts (SES) has two types of "objects" (which is just stuff it can load):
  • Includes
  • Hooks

Includes are useful for adding functions that can be used by any other hooks or includes. They should contain functions, such as getting the speed of a vehicle.

Hooks add functionality to an event, like onServerStart or onPlayerMove. Instead of having to manually edit these functions in whatever file they may be, you can hook them by adding a line to an XML file.

A typical SES XML file will look like this:
Code: (Configuration/SES.xml) [Select]
<ses>
    <hook>DemoHook</hook>
    <hook>BasicAnticheat</hook>
    <hook>JoinMessages</hook>

    <include>GetVehicleVelocity</include>
</ses>

Includes are regular Squirrel files. However, hook files are different. If a function named SES_Init() is found in a hook file, it will be called. You can then use different hooking functions, like hook_onServerStart( functionPointer ), to add functionality to a server. Not only that, but each hook function will return an ID which can be used to unhook later. For example:

Code: (Hooks/Demo.nut) [Select]
function myOnServerStart() { print( "good" ); }

function SES_Init()
{
    local hookID = hook_onServerStart( myOnServerStart );

    if( hooked_onServerStart( hookID ) )
        unhook_onServerStart( hookID );
}

Off Topic / Disk Fragmentation
« on: December 19, 2011, 11:29:21 pm »
So have any of you guys seen fragmentation this bad?



This is on a server rig, so disk space is very modest since it's sharing a triple-boot with XP, Arch Linux, and Stormlinux.

Scripting Support / [Benchmark] SQLite vs INI
« on: November 23, 2011, 10:07:08 pm »
SQLite vs. INI: Read, Write, and Read/Write/Read
This test consists of three tests measuring the speed of SQLite's and INI files' read speeds, write speeds, and read/write/read speeds.

Read
Test consists of reading 1,000 records, printing the value of each record as it's read.
INI:
Quote
1 = a
2 = a
3 = a{...}


SQLite:
Quote
one | two
----|----
1   | a
2   | a
3   | a{...}

Write
Consists of writing 1,000 records in the same format as above.

Read/Write/Read
Reads each of the 1,000 records, prints the value of the record, overwrites it with "b", and prints the new value. (SQLite transactions are not used as it is a single query, and not a group)

Conclusion
SQLite is excellent for reading and writing long chains of data or single pieces of data, but fails when expected to write without using transactions. INIs are slower when reading and writing long chains of data, but performed better than SQLite when expected to read, write, and read again.

Because transactions could not have been used, the performance of SQLite was hindered by that and because SQLite had to check the integrity of each entry as it was written. INIs are efficient for that purpose, but because of how specific the situation was, I'm concluding that SQLite is better than using INIs in overall performance, and can perform even faster if I/O synchronization was disabled (which can corrupt data if power is lost or the server crashes).

Script Showroom / [Module] MySQL
« on: November 19, 2011, 06:22:31 am »
MySQL ( lu_mysql )

This is a re-release of Juppi's lu_mysql module, which was never formally released. The module would allow you to connect to any MySQL database on any server, unlike SQLite, which restricts you to databases in the server folder. This module can allow you to update stats on a website, while maintaining another database on your server.

The only difference between this and Juppi's original code is a courtesy loading message, two more exceptions for connection failures, and it's been recompiled to work properly. The original module seemed to not compile correctly, and trying to use it would always result in a "Failed to retrieve UserData"

All the credit should go to Juppi for coding the vast majority of this great module. The list of functions provided are:
  • mysql_connect( szHost, szUsername, szPassword, szDatabase, iPort )
  • mysql_close( pConnection )
  • mysql_query( pConnection, szQuery )
  • mysql_num_rows( pResult )
  • mysql_num_fields( pResult )
  • mysql_fetch_row( pResult )
  • mysql_fetch_assoc( pResult )
  • mysql_fetch_lengths( pResult )
  • mysql_free_result( pResult )
  • mysql_errno( pConnection )
  • mysql_error( pConnection )
  • mysql_ping( pConnection )
  • mysql_escape_string( pConnection, szString )
  • mysql_select_db( pConnection, szDatabase )
  • mysql_change_user( pConnection, szUser, szPassword )
  • mysql_warning_count( pConnection )
  • mysql_affected_rows( pConnection )
  • mysql_insert_id( pConnection )
  • mysql_info( pConnection )

And will be available on the (LU) wiki ASAP.

Installation
Extract lu_mysql.dll/so to your Modules folder, and libmysql.dll to the same folder as the server (if you're using Windows). Load the module and you should be good to go.

Password Strength Check Module ( mod_password )

A quick module I wrote from the Global Watchlist source code, this module connects to Google's password rating API to rate a password's strength. It's very simple, and consists of only one function.

int GetPasswordStrength( string password, [bool ignoreLength [, string userName]] )
password     - The password, as a string
ignoreLength - If true, password length is not checked. (Optional and false by default.)
userName     - The username, which can be used for additional security checks. (Optional)

The function returns an integer from 0-4, or null if an error occurs. The ratings are as follows:
  • 0 - Too short.
  • 1 - Insecure.
  • 2 - Okay.
  • 3 - Good.
  • 4 - Excellent.

Script Showroom / [Squirrel] STORM256 Encryption
« on: November 11, 2011, 06:25:58 pm »
Something I've already posted on the VC:MP Squirrel forum, might as well repost it here. It works like MD5/SHA1 in lu_hashing, but is a slightly modified implementation of SHA256, which is more complex but also more secure. The fact that it's modified means it's even less likely someone is going to decrypt it.

Not for Pawn; if you're still using that,

return (val >> sbits) | (val << (0x20 - sbits));

Script Showroom / Squirrel Server, Sans Death Messages
« on: September 30, 2011, 02:08:57 am »
Holy crap, a new version here

Quote
Boring Story
I cracked open the VC:MP Squirrel Server in a debugger and started looking through it. There was some interesting stuff (SendSpikeStrip and onPlayerCrashDump, for example) and found where the death messages are. I figured it would be useful to have a server that didn't FORCE the "X killed Y" messages.

After an hour of reading about assembly and jumping between addresses, I found the address that sent the messages (0040BAE0). I null'ed it (NOP) so it would not send a message. onPlayerDeath, onPlayerKill, and onPlayerTeamKill will work and the death will still be logged in the console.

Somewhat Tested
All messages are confirmed as nullified and will not be sent. However, the server callbacks still get thrown and the dead player will show up as dead to everyone else.

I have no idea what other effects this might have on the server, if any, so I wouldn't recommend using this on a production server just yet.

Actually Important Stuff
It's the same as the VC:MP Squirrel server, except it won't show the "X killed Y" or "X died" messages. Those are basically customizable by scripts now. This is not for Pawn.

Download
A Linux version is not available. Source code is not available, as it was hacked by using a debugger.
