DarkiSock

DarkiSock

DarkiSock is:

• A PHP Socket Server that manages everything, sends outgoing MySQL queries to the SA:MP database and provides a handy Telnet interface (see post in Clan Chat). Basically it works like a mini-IRC server, but using some insane protocol I invented xD[/*:m:2c1e14xj]
• A Sourcemod Plugin that announces stuff and connects TF2 and ZPS with the socket server, allowing messages to be sent back and forward directly via a TCP socket (see where the name comes from now? ) (damn SA:MP for not supporting sockets on windows.... )[/*:m:2c1e14xj]
• A SA:MP Filterscript that also announces stuff, scans for incoming messages from the SA:MP database and sends outgoing messages to the database.[/*:m:2c1e14xj]
• A PHP script that monitors the SA:MP MySQL Database, sending outgoing messages from SA:MP to the socket server (which then sends them on to all connected interfaces) and cleans up the database when necessary.[/*:m:2c1e14xj]
• A hand-coded (no bloated+shit classes) PHP IRC Bot that accepts messages on a private socket from the Socket Server and sends messages back into it using the same public socket used by the Sourcemod plugin. Also greets people when they join #gamingmasters, sends instructions on how to use DarkiSock every 30 minutes and updates the topic every 2 minutes with a list of how many people are playing in each server [/*:m:2c1e14xj]

So yeah, if you want to chat between all our TF2 servers (only including match server when warmode is off), ZPS servers, SA:MP server and anyone that happens to be on telnet or IRC, then just type ~ before your message on any of these platforms

 

Re: DarkiSock

A message pops up every 2 minutes telling people how to use it

And I'm adding SA:MP support now - the best part about not using the existing socket-based solution from allied modders is that the server can do anything you want, such as rconning non-source games and you don't have to rely on a specific game server being up before chat will work (their system uses one of the servers running the plugin as the actual socket server - not the best thing to do tbh).

Also our SA:MP server is at: 81.19.221.10:7777 - it runs a 7000-line (if you include the filterscripts) gamemode script I wrote a while back which incorporates Gangwars (with an awesome weapons+cars shop menu), stunts (~20 awesome stuntparks and huge ramps), deathmatches (have to be started by an admin) and racing where you can create your own tracks (over 50 made so far)

Updated the first post a bit

 

Re: DarkiSock

Despite everything that has been happening (dedi dead ) I managed to find time to code together an IRC Bot for DarkiSock that outputs messages sent to it via a private socket from the DS Socket Server into the GM IRC channel, and parses messages for the same ~ character at the start and splits the input using a simple regex into name and message. This would then be sent to the socket server using the same method I used in the SA:MP Monitor script.

 

Re: DarkiSock

After 55 releases (quite a bit further on than rel 20 on the screenshot above ), I have finally got the IRC bot as far as I can without having the socket server running to test it (need the dedi for that )

So far it:

• Announces how to use DarkiSock when it connects and every 30 minutes thereafter.[/*:m:3os6v34f]
• PM's people when they join welcoming them to the channel and explaining how to use DarkiSock and what it is/does. From my tests it seems that someone could exploit this (by spamming exactly the right message) into getting the bot kicked for spamming, which is something I'm working on.[/*:m:3os6v34f]
• Detects the same ~ character before (and only before ) a message which (and this is the bit that I haven't coded yet, although it's incredibly easy) sends the message to the Socket Server.[/*:m:3os6v34f]
• Reads from 127.0.0.1:9979 for incoming messages from the Socket Server (tested this with an emulation script and it seems to work).[/*:m:3os6v34f]
• Output buffer - all uses of the PRIVMSG command (for anyone not familiar with the IRC protocol, that is for sending all types of messages - be it a PM or a standard message to an entire channel) are buffered with a 1.5 second buffer to lower the chances of being kicked for spamming.[/*:m:3os6v34f]

 

Re: DarkiSock

lol yeah but spamming like that doesn't do anything except piss people off xD
