Hello mates,
Just coming to the conclusion like most others who wondered off, that this forum needs some sort of a boost to make it much more active like it used to be. As you all know, there is a large number of ppl missing in action, that is because:
1) Forum started freshly and no backup was given
2) aMutex left, few others like Skrollster, klownietklowniet, Rabidwombat and many other great scripters seems inactive.
3) Not much of new threads or intresting things going on here.
4) New Hubsoft(s) arrived to compete with
I know that not everyone can script. To me i can only count the scripters with my hand full fingers.
I can easily say there are around 15-20 scripters only who are sort of active now and others just replying to threads they start or scripts they create.
We got around 500 - 600+ users, who wud participate if we have some other general categories or some sort of improvement to this forum. We are still waiting for Ptokax to release for months now, and we all know we shudn't ask ptaczek to hurry up.
So any idea you peeps mite want to add to this forum or think can make it improve? i hardly reply nowdays cuz i am finding it pretty boring sitting here replying. i usual go to other programming forums, such as VB forums, or Expert exchange sort. and they are very intresting to stay for long.
Not saying that this forum is being boring, but startign to get the feeling of future. Haven't seen opiumvolage around for long or any others who makes the forum more intresting to read.
Please pour out your suggestions, whether its irrelevant , its ok all welcome.
One of my idea was to add some sort of general sections for others to participate and possibily give those programmers who are developing clients like DC++k CDM or some sort.
I would love to see this forum being up on its peak like b4. its not possible by one person, so please give your possible suggestions here to improve the forum. I am sure admins or mods wud be happy to take suggestions.
Later,
BlazeXxX
amutex left that's correct. :(
Skrollster is seems a bit getting back again :)
nice too have you here again.
klownietklowniet, hmm haven't seen him for a while
And rabidwombat, i think he's in a deny fase, with himself ;)
oh a hint too boost everything and get rabids and more
ppl back :)
LUA 5 <----- *HINT * HINT

i agree with ya on the idear of giving those all in one scripters a piece of their own in this forum.
like guibs and Optimus.
And if possiblle to get folks inhere who make these fine clients like dc++k cmd.
Give them their own topic to moderate it will even more engage them to this place.
and indeed we miss folks like Skrollster, klownietklowniet, Rabidwombat but how to get them back?
i think this is a fine place for us hubowners and peoplle who dont understand how to script but all is getting on the backs of a few folks who can.
and what the solution is i dont know hopefully somebody else has an answer on this.

LUA 5 <----- *HINT * HINT
ithink it wud giveme spirit todo somemore scripting, atm to interested in c++, not enough functions to mess with in lua4, hope it gets thrown in soon :)
Thanks for the positive feedback guys.. I am really hoping we can see all those folks back if there are intresting things going on here.
I also backup the fact that Pur said.. it wud be good to have LUA 5, but again its only going to be useful to who can script. Instead of just keeping this place for only LUA scripts, we can bring in more ppl and make this forum active if all supports.
I know there are good dc clients, like that dc++k CDM... then there was Hub link and so on.. the more threads and activity there is, the more ppl wud want to stay and spend some time.
Not quiet sure of the future of LUA forum, but i think it needs a boost rite now or later b4 summer. We are loosing many regular posters, why? simple, not much to do here, so all wonder off to use the time wisely.
One suggestion i can give is, it will boost up when Ptaczek release his public beta version. Now many have been patience and some ppl left to try other hub soft, while ptaczek take his own time.
If anyone else knows any suggestions to improve the forum, it wud be great to hear.

hi :)
yup the forum is still alive but not as active as it was :(
yup the dc++k cdm part would be nice :)
perhpas psf8500 will come also here :D
and the robo part would be great also
lua 5 ?( i heard about it, guibs told me that dc++k cdm is build with it
some come ppl let get the forum more active 8)
We miss a lot of ppl form the old one X(
Ptokax must life :P :P :P
lua 5 section for client side scripting would be nice :)
BCDC supports it and i'm currently working on a new CDM based on BCDC (i based it on BCDC for this very reason). you can try it out here (http://www.ukdnb.dsl.pipex.com/dcpluspluskcdm/DCDM0.009.rar) (very beta)
I would be very interested in a lua 5 section :D
Maybe a beginners section wouldn't be bad to make it a bit easier for new Hubowners....
& for the more used scripts Like robocop, NSX3.... some extra sections in the script section to keep it a bit more clear
how about starting a second allin1 script..like that one made in the old forum?
and add all the new features & solutions that has popped up in this forum..
so every good scripter could join in.
another thing that's sounds good is the noob section
for those who like to learn about scripting..
with explaining why you must do that and what it does
and so on.
like..strsub(sData, 1, 13) this do this and the number shows this..bla bla
and yes i know about phatty's "how to"
but it's for those whom already knows a bit..as i see it
just an idea..dont hit me ;)
Hia :))
I realy think its all has to do what aproach u wanna have in here, as today the main thing is LUA.
If u want a bit wider aproach there could be a hub section, client section and so on.
BUT there already IS a Lot of those out there,,,, so we have to competite of the users and maybe thats not so good.
My tip:
People like us like to try New things like [NL]Pur said LUA 5.
Start looking at NEW things especially those that is to help for OP's and Hubowners
Z ya gyus , . , . , . PtokaX rules
Well.... I have had a lot of help from Plop, Kepp and NightLitch over the last month in writing my own bot but found it easier to understand and was fater to be told in a hub how to do something.
I have also used a lot of info from this forum.
So maybe a forum hub which registered forum members can enter and ask questions in there if they don't quite undertstand "why or how" something works.
I am happy to host a hub for that, or maybe a chatroom added to the forum???
Just a thought ?(
WooshMan
lua 5 isn't my idea, i support the idea.
but some other scripters have given hints too going too lua 5. Or even are active in client side lua5.
lua 5 would rule for ptokax just it doesn't realy have something 2 do with the forum.
if it's added 2 ptokax it would need a new section as the syntax is different.
as some know i'm making scripts in lua5 allready and it's f*cking cool.
here's a example as a teaser.
1st lua4.
lines = "\r\n\r\n"
readfrom("text/"..cmd..".txt")
while 1 do
local line = read()
if line == nil then
readfrom()
break
end
lines = lines..line.."\r\n"
end
user:SendPM(Bot, lines.." |")now the same kind of thing in lua5 for bcdc++.
pmtext = "\r\n"
for line in io.lines("help.txt") do
pmtext = pmtext..line.."\r\n"
end
user:sendPrivMsgFmt( pmtext )beside this a section for clientside scripting (bcdc++) would be cool.
i'm now always in doubt where 2 post the things i make for that as there is no real place yet (currently spread over the phantomDC and dc++K CDM forum).
beside this (don't hit me) a section for other other hubsoftware which also use lua for scripting could bring more life.
for the suggested forum hub.
as some of you know i have a priv hub mostly being used for this purpose.
but currently i can't make it public as my router can't handle it, and i'm also scared it's not gone help but hurt the forum.
it's so easy 2 ask in a hub and help yourself, while the forum could not only help yourself but also others.
the folks in my hub know that i want them 2 post all they learn in my hub here on the forum.
plop
hmm there is one called secured dc hub i think, console based, which has geo-ip, andit supports lua, i tried it, not my cup of tea, but was ok, i think u could be onto something, i would like to see a change tbh, scripting for something else.....i mean maybe, bcdc scripters would also join here.......some already but, more may come.......nice thieory
ptokax multihub link :D
any idea :O
one thing that i'd like to see is a bit cleaner forum, now it is just to much nonsens posts..
it is hard to find what you are looking for...
and lua 5, support for db and a new official beta release would make this forum come to live again...

ptokax multihub link :D

i made a bcdc++ multihub link, could post it here if there was a section for it. lol
you hit the spot skrollster, all that is most welcome.
plop
I know why I'm not too active here any longer..
Why dont set up some better thread areas??
1 for client for example??
Its coming more and more clients....
1 for eg Channelbot (like there already is)
1 area for script n00b ( like my self =] ) where they can ask questions about how thing are done and so on..
I'm a bit tired right now...And can't come up with anything else...but I'll give it a shoot tomorrow or the next time I'm in here =))
Otherwise...I like this Forum...Just a little messy...But I'm in love with the mess =))
ok, now i want too know
what is so messy on the forum ?
QuoteOriginally posted by [NL]Pur

only thing i see messy really is offtopic, but offtopic is to get the other side out, cant continue to script without a bit phun, its how you end up getting ideas ;)
but yep i like to know the same as pur, i dont really see a mess
Good to see something coming up. There isn't anything messy, but at the same time.. there isn't anything useful or active topics goign on. in old forum, we are like online for more than hours time. nowdays its much less and sometimes ppl don't login for weeks. I can see a new section if i am not wrong. good approach, keep your ideas flowing.
-BlazeXxX
there is a lot of nonsens messages in many threads this makes the forum hard to browse..
and also if you look under ie. How To section there isn't only how to...
you will find a lot of oftoppic descussion in the threads as well...
i moved alot of stuff out of the howto, since there are/were alot of threads about asking a question.
tho i find it hard too choose between
move thread and keep link in old forum
or
move thread and don't post a link in the old forum
if i do the last one i think it looks better but i noticed that ppl then post the same thing in the wrong section again.
I don't know if it's hard too mod this forum that the link in old forum only stays for few days.
it would be good if it was posible to change it to dissapere after some days..

well for me, i think the whole point of forums is to learn while having a bit fun, if u stick completely to the same thing it can be very boring, and i probably would get sick of lua completely,
i like to sit down, read thru what ive missed, while u can be serious while thinking ahh now thats a good idea, there a nonsense post that can be funny u can have a laugh, n still read down and keep on track, if it was all serious, it would get very boring, and it losing lack of communication between scripters and n00bs, as some scripts stick to the script section and not offtopic, so they dont answer offtopic post always, as in script section they do, i still think it looks tidy, and it doesnt harm the forum with a few post having a laugh
^just my opinion
As for the link, i always just move it without leaving link, i they post it again i just delete without warning.......
later,,
but for me i'm growing tired to read all the post, please write me this and that script, then you know that there is atleast a dussin of them on the forum already.. this is because it is hard to find them...
like if someone writes a script on request, then there is a bug, he fix it, and a new one is discovered.. and then it's a lots of nonsens posts, end the fix and a lot of nonsens post again..
to get that script with the bugfix i have to read through all posts to be sure not to miss any important information and no one have the time to.. so they ask again... and let some one of us do the work for them...
i realy love to put my head in to something realy difficult and try to solve it.. and i love lua... but i'm groving tired of this board because of all messages that makes it hard to browse...
Heya peeps
I came here as a total Newbi to lua abt 3- 4 months ago
I have found this forum very informative, helpful. and even entertaining in some parts.
The ppl here are very helpfull.
i tend to agree with (uk-kingdom)pH?tt? its good to see a bit of banter as well as the serious stuff.
the only thing that i think would improve it . is by setting up individual forums for some of the great scripters.
I.E can you imagine been a newbi to robocop and having to read through all the posts to make sure you dont double post.
Keep up the good work Guys things can only get better :P

i agree with both scrollster and phatty..we can still have fun
but the finished scripts section could be a lot cleaner.
it could maybe be solved by just editing the script and add version # instead of posting a new version..then maybe add a bugreport thread in that section to avoid messing it up....
yo
perhaps this is something to think about.
what about making the finished section just for finished scripts and updates. so just scripters can upload or post
and users can only take script and not post in this section.
e.g if there is a bug in a script then repair request go in another part of forum and if fixed folks can get the last version out of finished script section. [i think it was originnaly ment to be this way]
unless the scripter has an topic of his own
like robocop or channelbot now have
[ and i believe there are a few others who deserve their own forum topic asswel]
this could exist out of 2 parts finished and beta
finished is just to get scripts from and beta would be to post bugs and discuss new features.
this way i think it would be a lot more clearer for evryone
cause as i read through this topic and read the answer that a scripter has to go to all posts to find if he is missing something i thought this would be a better idear.
this way the script stays clean and not posted over and over again a 100 times before the folks are happy with it.
just my thoughts hope they were clear enough for the folks inhere
what about only thread creaters can post in its own thread in the finnished script section??
and the moderators delet/move threads that isn't suppose to be there.. and a debugg section for the scripts.. as suggested..
yup that would be great..
how about making som sort of text that shows when you are about to post(reply) in a script thread
like.."you can only post here if you started this thread..if you have a question or bugs to report post in bla bla"
if it's possible to do it like that
QuoteOriginally posted by Skrollster

i like this idea, and it's not only posible 2 move a full topic but should also be posible 2 only move the post 2 the correct topic.
but the creator should also post a link where 2 users can post bug/mod reports/requests.
if it's a bug maby only edit the post, and for a mod post a new.

i think this is a good suggestion
@trucker,
what your basicly giving a description of how the situation is atm.
Finished scripts section is only for scripts, if you need some help about a script you post is Help with scripts
look at the description of that section:
QuotePost into this forum your problems using some scripts ... THIS IS NOT THE PART OF THE FORUM FOR DEVELOPER DISCUSSIONS :)
futher more i think lots of stuff is written more then twice. Search first then request.
and about mod rights how they are atm.
I can't delete post of others only edit them.
I can delete, move, close , open threads
Quotenlpur, sure you can't delete posts??
edit a post and check for the checkbox delete post.. under options...
above shows skrollster last post that i just deleted,
pur crawling underneath computer table ashamed not knowing this.
;)
I learned it then I was a "Super Moderator" at the old forum...
i was moderator at the old forum too, btw what can you do more if you are super moderator ?
Hey guys ..
After being a regular user of this forum for a few weeks I can only say that this is by far the best Hub Software / Script support I've ever seen !!!
From even before switching from NMDCH to Ptokax I've been getting superb help and a kewl "even noobs are welcome" feeling of this place !
That makes this board a really uniqe place !!!
You guys have helped me from not knowing ANYTHING about LUA to being able to make a nice multi script for my Ops !! Thats just amazing !!!
All in all - You guys are doing a GREAT job !!
**Snooze
- LUA newbie
just a simple idea.
a sticky post in the howto section where ppl can request how-to's.
2 keep it tidy the posts with the requests can be deleted the moment the howto is made.
plop
done
hello a little idear but a lot of work
make sections like
trigger bots
block bots
fun bots
etc.
this because i see a lot of folks asking for the same scripts over and over again and evrytime the creators have to find out the wheel again cause they cant find it either on the forum.
sections for mainscripts
like robo
and channelbot
and mean-machine
and nxs-3
with diffrent section for help and response
so only creator post in mainsection and the rest in help and response
and a section were the mainscript creators can request a section of there own
i think these great scripters have deserved that right
that way you can loose the help with script section wich is in my opinion a messy part now
asfar as other sections go it is a bit messy also there are a lot of posts in the wrong sections of this forum,because folks dont know wich part they have to put their request.
ohh one final remark
perhaps an idear for scripters;
just let them update their original script cause in some of the cases the script gets reposted again and again that way taking a lot of space in the diffrent sections.
just a little thought of mine i hope i didnt pissed someone off cause i still think this is a great place to be thanks to the folks who make this place such a nice one and dont fail us the normal users with all of our requests.
that way peop only have to search in the section they want a script for

hi plop
is not better when the scripts packages robocop, NXS-3, and Mean_Machine have a own section? like same the CB section? ( [NL]trucker request)
done..
but.. rb an the other packages r all in the Scripts for 3.2.6 and later section..
cyaaa
problem with this is, well tbh i think its a bad idea, ya cant have them for some packaged scripts and not others, imean for instance, llok at Brain master by nErBoS, its pretty knew and doing good, so he wud deserve his pwn section, now if more n more scripts make packages, they will porobby want there own section, causes havoc, and forum wud be massive, in my opinion bad idea =)
just my thought, later,,
my english is bad.. but my ideas r ok lol
is only a non commercial suggestion, not a idea evaluation rating/competition ;-)
well, personally i`m a RC fan and i have some probs to recognise/find all RB related threads/messages.
few threads r in the other forum, few here.
i`m a older men.. so i have some probs with the multitasking lol
may be mea culpa..
however, take care & many thanks 4 the great forum & scripters & ppl
cyaaa
well, cb got it's own section mainly because there where/are so main threads about cb.
i don't think the bigness of the bot matters but the popularity of the bot. Thread , views, posts.
maby something in the middle, a section for script packages ??

Could someone make finding all the posts from one person a bit easier ?
What I mean is
1) click on the name to go to the user's profile
2) click on 'show posts from user' (listbox: all,last month, last week )
3) click 'Go'
... and voila :D
( is this the right place to post this ? )

go 2 the profile of the user, next you press the search button in the right lower corner.
result you see the posts of that user.

thx for that one also ....
hmm ... shouldn't that be a bit more obvious ?
Maybe instead of search put ' Users Posts ' ? ...
Just suggestions if something is wrong it will be taken as criticism ... :)

Is there a way for a user to ignore threads ???
i think it is fair to ask for this ... It could save a lot of arguments for some few bad threads .. . :D
No offense ..., I would just like to be able to choose what threads I wanna hear news from ...
Hey everyone!
I've recently set-up a hub through Y-Hub, and as u all know it's very very basic program, and I wish to develope my hub through using Ptotax..
So, what I'm asking from anyone here - A links to some PtotaX guides, or any guidnace from any one of u guys over here if u can on this tool and its scripts - how it all works...... I'll be most delighted if so

Very good feeling to read this!

btw there is a ptokax help out somewhere.
basic guidance: download a bOT
sentinel
xsthetic
cslave
robocop
thor
NXS
lawmaker (only if you are sure! :D)
set the minshare to 12MB in ptokax
disavle hub bot, when theres a scripted opchat (aka you can add the opchat name in the bot config) disable opchatbot, else NOT
dont set any hub/slot etc. rules in ptokax, scripts gonna care for it
advaanced: enable scripting should be enabled, also useful 2 enable tray icon
on the main window of ptokax is easy
hubaddress, name, description (last 2 can be changed thru majority of security bots) port motd etc...
dont forget to read the bots' manual
10x..... !
I'll check that stuff!
I'd personally like to see a 'compiled' and a 'non-compiled' section!
