Title: Latest development news
Post by: ptaczek on 14 October, 2003, 11:10:48
Hi,
approximately a week ago I have re-started coding of ptokax after almost 2 moths gap caused by certain complications in my personal life.
There was another trouble, a parition crash, that will a little delay new release, because I have lost latest sources of TestDrive4.
And one more shock: aMutex, my co-worker and coder of many features in ptokax, has left the project due to time and school reasons.
Even after all those consequences and with YHub as an agile concurent Im back in the business working on ptokax 0.330 with core based on 0.326 b39 and with few changes in the gui and features in general.
With aMutex'es leaving we have also lost the MultiHub server, which was completely his project and I own no sources of it.

Well, lets face the future :)

great news :) keep up the hard work with ptokax its by far the best hub software and it is the futur and maybe it will be possible to get the source from A mutex for the server to bring that part alive to oneday

we all waiting for the next release ptaczek take the time
and take care :)

Post by: ptaczek on 14 October, 2003, 12:28:08
Oh, thanx :) For me there is not much time right now. Ptokax is outdated and decaying and it needs refresh! Unfortunately the changes to the code are so massive that I have to make them by myself.

I hope this new update will contain all the new commands in TD4 :)

My script depends on them :))


... I'm looking forward to it...

Today at night i will try to remember previouws bugs reported to you or AmuteX for take care about since the begining, some of them were deep code and rare, and also not well known. I will try to remember since i not have a saved record of all my previouws talks related.

Version 0.330 is being tested by beta testers. I will work tonight on next additions. Maybe we will have a new public release soon :)

You're doing an awesome job Ptaczek, thanks to you for that.
Thanks to aMutex too, for doing all that he has done already, and best wishes for school & life, it's a wise decision and i imagine it hasn't been taken willingly... Coding PtokaX surely is more fun than school :P

I'm currently testing build 11, i'll send my report & comments tonight (swiss time).

Hi ptaczek. well it's taken me time to find this new location of the forum. Now that i am here i am shocked of some of the news especially our friend aMutex who was a great help in many aspects of your projects.

He will be missed but i am sure if and when he returns we sure will have the open arms for him.

Now i understand why i have not seen TD5 yet, i can relax abit and give my support on your next release. I would like to be a tester but i don't think i can as i run a hub which i don't want any bad interruptions with. I wish i could help you further but all i can offer is my gratitude and support.

I happy i found this new forum but don't understand why the addresses changed and why the old registration was not transfered to here. but hey, no worries we have to start from scratch again somewhere hehehe.

take it easy may the force be with u  ;)

Well after almost 3 weeks of beta-testing Im here with hottest news about ptokax development.
Just a list of some more important changes/fixes from my DevLog diary:

- completely rewriten core. Ptokax now utilizes pure winsock api and raw pointer arithmetic for the fastest possible data parsing.
- fixed hubstart on already used port
- changed chat-sending loop (oh yes... loop)
- fixed closing of sockets. All sockets are now closed properly.
- fixed "your nick is already taken..." on fast reconnects
- fixed !ban command.
- fixed LUA OnExit() is now properly called before appz exit and possible global messages are dispatched to all users before exit.
- rearranged 'Rules and Bots' section
- added individual redirects for every built-in checker
- added options for users without DC tag in description
- hub setting is now saved on HubStart
- disabled checking for new release (I have to set up new URL for checking)
- rewriten 'About' section
- changes in slot checker gui controll
- changed sendbuffer data processing (Im expecting bugs ;)
- wordreplacer is temporarily disabled
- changed code for closing user's connection (now tries send all buffered data before shuting down the connection)
- Gui userlist refresh only on click to lower the cpu load a little bit
- fixed small bugs in data sending routines
- UserList auto-update on/off
- added few remote controls in LUA frmHub
  SetMinSlots(n), GetMinSlots()
  SetMaxSlots(n), GetMaxSlots()
  SetSlotRatio(n), GetSlotRatio()
  SetMaxHubs(n), GetMaxHubs()
  (redirects in next build(s) )
- fixed UserList update (thanx Bolamix)
- modified lua code for better handling of individual scripts (will be fully added in build 16)
- added variable command prefix option (idea Shipis).
  First start and stop the application, then you can modify it in ptokax.ini "CmdPrefix" under [System] section.
- fixed small bug in $GetINFO parsing routine
- added CPU usage monitor (the same from 0.326.b38, type !stat in mainchat)
- adaptive dynamic global buffers
- 50% of idividual script control done (still needs a lot of work so do not report bugs about it plz)
- added mainchat logging [Advanced]
- by default .log files are stored into logs directory
- fixed: Scripting checkbox state is FINALLY stored in the ini file ;)
- few bandwidth optimizations
- preparation for QuickList implemetation
- scripts are listed right after appz start
- few touches of client object to take better care about memory
- a little modified !stat
- fixed passive searching ;)

and a huge list of minor fixes which is boring to ordinary users ;)

Hello why linux??

for many reason...starting from that with linux you can use more powerful c commands like fork :)
on more powerful command sockets...line poll instead of select ^^

:)

on our hub with verlihub we have limit setted to 5500...and when hub is full the machine use only 12% of processors (2 pentium III 1000) :)

so...setting up linux potkax on a gentoo like distro (super optimized) will permit many many many users ^^

Hi, have you ever tried to connect with 128kbit line to hub with 5000 users? :) It's really cool to have 5000 users on a board but the data throughput your client MUST handle on such a big hub is huge! Just the nicklist with all MyInfos is about 1MB of data. Then you are receiving huge load of search requests from 5000 users and you also have to respond to searches that matches to your share.
You have also forgot to mention something about the connection used by the hub, mate. My measures on CZ-PRO with 3800 users gave me result about 30Mbit. With 5000 users you will need even faster line to handle them all. Now tell me, how many ppl can buy 50-100Mbit line just for hub?? ;)

3800 users = upload 36100 kbps
5000 users = up 62500 kbps
6400 users = up 102400 kbps (100 mbps)

formula for verlihub
upload in kbps = (users / 20) ^ 2 :D

I have tryed all the hubsofts that are out there and i am afraid to say ladies and gents that they are all rubbish and either crash for dumb reasons or they just simply play up. However Ptokax is an ecption, its the best hubsoft out there!
Atleast ptaczek keeps us all updated and is honist with us, thats the most important thing.
i am sure aMuTex had his reasons for leaving the project which is a shame but who knows we all change our minds from time to time ;)
Kudos to ptaczek, you have made an addict out of me ;)
if only you realised how many users have entered my hub and asked me 'how do i start up a hub and whats the best hubsoft to use' ptokax of course :)

c ya and take care all of you!

Want to see some news regarding ptokax, when will the new version be released?
If still work to do, what is left to do before the release?
Lotsa hubowners wants the new release, me to.

And the latest news from Yoshi is that hes put further development on yhub on ice because of his personal situation.

So please bring us some good news and Give the users what they want!

Still PtokaX the best ever choice for hubowners who wants to set some personality on their hubs!

no date has been set, this so it whill be nearly bug free when released (only some rare bugs which the beta team didn't find).
if you check the beta thread you can allready see some good signs, lower cpu/memory usage then yhub.
things take time and pcaz is now working on it all alone.
there are currently just a couple minor bugs left but enough work on the memory handling and he wants 2 make a whole new and much better database.
things like this take time, pcaz is working hard on it in his spare time.
thats why there is so little news about ptokax, and he has a personal life 2.
but you can expect a killer hub when it's released.

Title: Latest beta progress / Helpdesk / New domain / etc.
Post by: ptaczek on 22 March, 2004, 17:12:22
Hello to all hungry brains,

I have got a few minutes, so...  The current beta progress is slowly running to it's finish. On a mental progress bar we are at appx. 93%  Two quick tests on two bigger hubs have showed some torubles, so I can't release a kind of pre-beta as soon as I've meant to and *maybe* it will take some extra time to finish it in reasonable short time period. But maybe not ;)
I also have registered ptokax.org domain and got a small payed hosting, so the next beta should be available from there along with a sketch of new website.
Due to rising amount of unanswered emails regarding ptokax and due to the solid fact that people first talk to each other instead of fetching information on their own, I've decided to run a helpdesk system which should help me to handle all help requests on a more professional level. With help of Yepyepyep we will recrute reliable and ptokax-experienced volunteers as a helpdesk operators. Here is a short quotation of Yep's mail:
QuoteIf you don't feel comfortable with putting up the helpdesk, putting the team together and explaining them how the concept works, I could do that. If you're not familiar with the helpdesk concept, here's how I would try and do it: at least 6 Persons. Level 1 - 3, level 2 - 2, Level 3 - you. The first level gets all the requests, handles all the simple ones ("This is a script problem, please ask the author, etc...") in a *friendly* manner, to keep people happy, and forwards the real PtokaX problems to the level 2.
The Level 2 tries to cross check the problems, document them with as much data as possible, and if they're not solved in the process, then they're forwarded to you.

Also the new ptokax will contain a feedback form to quickly send a bugreport or an idea right to me.

I believe all those things will rise the decaying quality of ptokax a little.

Hi ptaczek,
Very good to hear the updates. If you need any sort of help regarding Help desk or designing, i am willing to do my favor. You can see a sample ticket  system I am running for 100's of pro customers in HERE (http://www.servertickets.com) . It could be either just installing or could be to do with script offering or answering. Anything you need help with, please let me know.

I appriciate your hard work towards ptokax, and I beleive this changes will make big diff to ptokax's future.

Thanks for ur time.

In respect of all remarks made at Ptaczek's latest announcement, wouldn't it be better to ask him how we can help him with his project?

We 're all waiting for the newest release and, that's thru, his new coming website to read the latest about PtokaX !!!

Don't know anything about Lua (sometimes I change some language errors, but that's all) but if I can help on a other way, let me know - I know some  html/css.

think a bit deeper.
if you link 2 hub's both of 200 users with searches, the amount of searches the hub has 2 handle doubles.
the result is the same as 1 hub of 400.
beside that i think this can be scripted 2.

And refresh my memory, what's it written in again?

Thanks

ptokax has been written in c++

and releasing the source would mean hard work i guess cause modding a program is not equal to making it better -  (im not a programmer lol)

but im looking forward 2 seeing ptokax... atleast in september - we can set up fun hubs (and customizable ones)

im a new ptokax lover
Title:
Post by: sUiCiDeMAniC on 01 June, 2004, 05:17:58
To be exact, ptokax was written in borland c++.   I would kill for the source...  that source is powerful stuff lol.

Sorry to all. Im preparing for admission process on Friday June 11th. And after 10 years since high school I've forgot almost everything about highschool math. So I have to learn it again which takes time :)
And yes I agree with you that more ppl involved in the project would help. If there is anybody experienced in C++ and BCB6 and willing to join, let he/she screams here and let others vote for/against him/her

If there is anybody willing to create simple yet impressive ptokax web pages, go on!

I'd gladly help with the integration of Lua 5.0 into PtokaX. Haven't used Borland C++ Builder 6 but I can't imagine it'll take long to catch on. Plus most of it will be ANSI C anyway (except for a couple things to add to the GUI front end) Quick question, does BCB6 still use OWL?

on 15.25 he did a experiment with the memory handling which doesn't work 2 good.
beside this 15.25 was ment for hub's of 800+ users as only they can test this.

@ Dax: pta is working on it alone and in his rare spare time, so pls be patient.
he's not gone release it before he's absolutely sure it's stable.

@ blackwings: thats a bit much for 0.3.3.0.
the tests on 15.25 were in the memory handling, cpu resources was done on some earlyer versions.

So there is no difference between 15.18 and 15.25 when it comes to CPU usage?

Hmm, then what is the problem then? Any ideas Plop? Could it be a function in ptokax or maybe in RoboCop 8.0b that makes ptokax take so much CPU?

Did you actually read my last post MrZ?
I was talking about if it was a function inside of ptokax or in RC 8.0 that makes ptokax take so much of my CPU.

only way 2 find that out is 2 try some other scripts and compair the results.
also try 2 disable a couple checks/options from RC 2 see which part might be causing it.
if it is RC you can make optimus really happy by giving him sutch info so he can fix it on the upcomming 9.x serie.

I really don't know why pta does not wanna release 15.25 and 15.18

they can even be foun on filedonkey, so it's all like if you wanted to hide it under a transparent blaket.

and the bugs: jut see how unstable and buggy x-hub is, and se what yoshi releases, beta ptokax is rock solid related 2 them

I really don't know why pta does not wanna release 15.25 and 15.18

they can even be foun on filedonkey, so it's all like if you wanted to hide it under a transparent blaket.

and the bugs: jut see how unstable and buggy x-hub is, and se what yoshi releases, beta ptokax is rock solid related 2 them
because some parts ae disabled on those versions and on .25 he's doing an experiment on the memory handling which didn't turn out 2 good.

@ hades: the latest build version of ptokax is from 17 sept.

Hi All
if this is the official release thats great.
if its not then why has this post been allowed to stay,
I missed out on the early start of beta testing.

If the release 0.330.b15.25 and the 0.330.b15.18,
are buggy, and i DL and us, i guess it would be pointless as if i have a problem, I wont be able to get support from this forum.

Yes i'd love a new PtokaX hubwith a official release by
ptaczek or some news on the progress.
Thats all i have to say, end of story.

ptaczek not release new versions for betatester.
Or better, ptaczek version newer than 15.25 give only to [BBB]Maximum Speed?-3- hub for testing and here running "old" 15.30 build.
Last source update from ptaczek is from Jun 24 2004 (build 15.31).
I have last contact with ptaczek on icq Aug 13 2003, after this i sometimes see it on icq (invisible) but without any response.
PtokaX is not dead :] I working on it (last build Sep 18 2004 23:57:28 ), last version for betatesters is from Sep 10 (no public page for betatesters :P any betatester have own signed version), and maybe ptaczek kill me for giving it to anyone, but i am not able to test Lua 5.0.2 in PtokaX without any real scripters (i am Lua incopatible  X()

The latest public release of ptokax is testdrive. I can't remember when i came, was it year 2003?
Testdrive is stable, not many bug's but so incomplete, and at present time, outdated.

As an hubowner who been running ptokax hub for a while I would like to see some development on this hubsoft. At least release something. It doesnt have to be perfect, and I can live with bugs (the whole DC world is only at beta stage, so both client and server will be buggy)

To ptaczek: If you are sick and tired of this ptokax thing, I understand, You have done a tremendous job with this software. Ptokax is the most promising dchub for windows at this time. But please!, don't let it die. Please grant developers like PKK the power to release public versions of ptokax.

There is a spam flooding war going on on direct connect right now there is many users who use Yhub and they get soo spammed well Yhub updates many times and so on but PtokaX doesn update so mutch but becus of the script support its possibul to protect the hub from spam i think that is something to think of before you change hub soft hehe

a quick list, don't ask me for percentages.

done stuff:
a lot of small and big bugs fixed.
a lot of things are optimized.
things which deflood filters are build-in to ptokax.
upgrade from lua 4.0 to 5.0.2
the new settings from the hub are changeble from the scripts.
a bunch of new features added on request of us scripters (from my hub).
2nd port (was actualy done on 15.3x).
the port number used for UDP can be changed.
option 2 not sends the tag's from the clients 2 save bandwidth.
lua library support.

not yet done stuff:
the database.
the word replacer.
more searching for possible bugs on lua 5.0.2 needed.
some more feature requests from us scripters (some need 2 be discussed in more detail).
more global debugging.

besides what sucks is i was a beta tester for .330 and because of some other assface who leaked it i cant test anymore. and i have 2 solid hubs with 50-100 users every day. i'm just anxious to get away from this TD4 ;)

good to hear that there will be a new ptokax, although I thaught he would add a option to change the Tag also and not only switch it off. And LUA 5.02 wow, I thaught
it would never happen, now where is Rabid he had a cool script to just replace the Lua 4 commands by Lua 5.
Wanna post it mate.

What you guys think when it will be ready,
I'm sure in febuary, but the year ... , no clue ;).

compat.lua is shipped with the lua 5.0.2 source.
beside this i have made my own version and started a working on a script which rewrites most of the code into lua 5.
my a.i. is allready fully converted into lua 5, had 2 do the file in/output manualy but the rest is converted by that script.

the idea 2 remove the tag fully is 2 save bandwidth.
this might get another option 2 remove even more (idea's taken from verlihub), only when you contact the other client you get 2 see the full myinfo.

Title:
Post by: chill on 05 October, 2004, 22:38:43
great post that script, since I am too lazy.

the other thing about the Tag, so then actually the client sends the GetInfo  for nothing is that right.
And one cannot sort the users by share, I agree the MyInfo is too long, so there must be anew protocoll I think.
Something that only tells the new client,
the nick,share,sharedslots and maybe number of hubs of other users.
I already find it not to good to have a Hello and a MyINFO.

the Hello should be extended with share and slots.
and the MyInfo should contain the rest nobody cares about.

But anyways its a good idea the MYINFO thing.
Title:
Post by: plop on 06 October, 2004, 01:13:33
check here (http://board.univ-angers.fr/thread.php?threadid=2923&boardid=5&styleid=1&page=1#1).
there are 3 options on the myinfo.
1) send unmodded.
2) send modded myinfo's 2 all users but op's recieve the originals.
3) send  modded myinfo's 2 all users.
in all cases the scripts get the unmodded version.
i asked ppk 2 even strip it more like verlihub can do.
nick/share and connection are of interest for the users.
the momemt 2 clients connect the full myinfo shows up, then they show real interest for that user.

this is 2 protect ignorend users.
not every1 understands the word beta/alpha.
beside this pta/ppk sometimes try things which might turn out bad.
if these kind of things turn out bad indeed those ignorend users start whining/complaining.
having 2 answer all these complains holds them from developing.
just look @ the amount of ppl who think testdrive is a stable release.
if my hub crashes i send the debug logs with a description on how it happend.
but 1st i restart the hub ofcourse. lol

beside opendchub hasn't been updated for over a year, and there still isn't any release date for dch++.
might be a dc habbit. lol

Debug version makes Ptokax much more fun than TD4  with wysiwyg (MOTD) Topic on/off and the best thing in debug (my opinion) start/stop script in script editor...

Along with a few others I have 100% confidence in The Ptokax team and the work they do when it is ready I'm sure they will share it...Some peeps need to take a min. and thank ptaczek and the others for the great hub they have already provided, and hope they find it in thier hearts to share thier great work of art (which they do not have to share and at times I wouldnt blame them if they didnt) So if U want to go to Y-hub or any other GO and Others including myself will seat by without a sigle complaint until ptaczek decides it is time...To those that feel the same as I ignore this but to those who dont well u know what u can do......... I have sat by lurking reading post and am very disappointed in some peeps, for U that complain but yet offer nothing not even a simple thank u, for without peeps like ptaczek there would be no dc community!!! so before u get greedy ask urself what can I do to help the dc community?

...because , "i want" a BETTER application , with less consumption and more stable.
Resuming....let "them" work , without stress , so "they" can accomplish what "we" are waiting for.

btw: I'm really impressed with the evolution made with sockets and PC consumption.
Keep up the good work guys !!! If you' need any help , please "ring me".  :D

currently i'm running a new test version where DataArrival has been splitted.
every dc command has it's own arrival.
this 2 check if it lowers the cpu usage, and so far it looks promissing.
but for this all scripts with a DataArrival need 2 be changed.
some of the other new things are:
Ban/TempBan and TimeBan all take IP's.
GetTempBannedItemName(IP) and GetTempBannedItemIP(Nick).

hi  plop

Quotecurrently i'm running a new test version where DataArrival has been splitted.

Can we send them all through the main dataArrival as a quick fix .. ???

E.G


function NewDataArrival(user, data)
   DataArrival(user, data)
end


????????

Yes, if you want to slow down PtokaX with your script :D
Rewrite script to new arrivals is easy and take only few minutes :]

the old style on texter 4.5.
function DataArrival(user, data)
   if( strsub(data, 1, 1) == "<" ) then
      data=strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)
      local s,e,cmd = strfind(data,"%b<>%s+%S(%w+)")

and the new way.
function ChatArrival(user, data)

end
io.close()
return 1
  else
showtext(user, cmd, text._default)
return 1
  end
end
   end
end

function ToArrival(user, data)
   local s,e,whoTo = strfind(data,"$To:%s+(%S+)")
   if whoTo == Bot then
data=strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)
local s,e,cmd = strfind(data,"$To:%s+%S+%s+From:%s+%S+%s+$%b<>%s+%S(%w+)")
if cmd ~= nil then
  if Commands[cmd] then --and user.iProfile == 1 then
return call(Commands[cmd], {user,data})

Like; OnExitScript() - restart script while hub still running and Users still connected
and OnExitHub() - restart hub and Users are disconnected

you can detect this on function Main, in the case of a script restart you can let it check if there are users in the hub.
if so you have a script restart.

in both cases you need 2 close/save all script data.
just on a script restart you could/can open some of the open data again.
but this can be detected on function Main.

For the permanent ban part i also mean a new button for adding a single name or ip.
For the kickfilter i mean a part where certain words can be stored and when the same word is found in the share (a file) that the user will automaticaly be kicked or banned.
Also a spamfilter would be usefull.

1st of all like you say it isn't full proof.
2nd why waste resources on the hub side when clients like DCM can do it a lot better.
but then still i don't like it.

a while back this crazy guy loaded up 2400 users into 0.3.3.0.
thats not bad @ all, but i kicked 1200 of them @ once.
on this move ptokax should have free-ed up about 40-50% of the memory it used, but this didn't happen.
this is 1 of the events which caused the trail on 15.25, just it didn't solve the bug like pta hoped for.

1 of the notes about 15.25 is that it should be tested on hub's with 800 or more users.

yes it is possible, but i'm running only ptokax, no-ip, and dcdm (as a bot, 0gb, no donwload) on a dedicated server, with P IV 3.0Ghz HT and 1gb ram dual channel 400mhz.
No others programs running (maybe antivirus and a firewall).
only 3 scripts, robocop, deflood and zrightclicker..
With a peak of 46 users..it's hard to use all 100% of cpu..

After running with 15.30 for a while, cpu usage is always 100% (even disconnecting all users), trying to restart hub with inbuild command will lower it to 96.8%~99%, closing and reopening ptokax will lower it to 2.2%.

hmmm seeming though 15.30 has obviosly leaked, why not  post it somewhere? Just neglect support  :D
i'm still using 15.8 (runs better than 15.25 on my puter) and would love to test again  :D

well i know the answer to this anyway, but it's still worth a try
you found 0.3.3.0 15.25.

plop

Hmm then how come the one Titeled 15.8 runs smoother on my puter than the one titeled 15.25?

Oh well whatever, can hardley wait for a new Version to come along

damn psycho 15.8 that i downloaded from ed2k is goddamn good - 15.18 is also good but in saving/loading it hangs and uses more cpu than 15.8

They are not available HERE, but if u do a little search on the net u will find them, only 15.25 and 15.30.

15.8 or 15.18

15.8 runs very nice but no _ALERT support ===> bad debug

15.18 is not too computer-friendly, slow on lua scripted file processing but stable, eats more mem than 8

I user TD4 and have about 10 script running on it.
After I have run it for about 2-6 weaks it starts to use about 80-99% of CPU with around 4-500 users in the hub. Normaly it uses from 1-50% cpu.
Is this a TD4 bug or something else?
Memory usage is stable around 60-80MB.

i installed it as service and made win2k go crazy, see:

It's not so hard to have a cpu usage of 15-25% if you got a P4 3.0. Try run it on a less powerfull pc (P3 866).

Post by: uffetjur on 09 December, 2004, 18:41:40
I can guarantee that its not, lots of changes from 15:25
for example, 2 ports are used, earlier versions including 15:25 had one

But, I think we all want a pbulic info from ptaczec about
developing progres, if not illegal copies of betas will be spread,Thats mainly because of the silence from development work
Aand hes reason for not making public betas is kicking backwards, Lotsa illegal betas are spread around and no one knows wich version whos best to use.

My opinion is that we can handle a public beta for what it is, a Beta version

Why not take a look on how development of dc++ client is managed, all releases are betas, lotsa users sends in bug reports and new releases are published, and all of them are just - Betas

And why not release the most secure versions of ptokax 3.3.0 so false or manipulated versions aint gonna give Ptokax  a bad rumour.


And yes, 3.3.0 build 15:30 is the best version ive used so far

everything after 15.25 is 100% fake, you won't find them anywhere on the net.
the ppl who have the 15.30 and 15.31 won't ever share them.
and later versions are like you can see on the next shots personal builds for the testers.
here (http://www.plop.nl/0.3.3.0/) you can see some screen shots of the real latest beta from ptokax 0.3.3.0 with LUA 5.0.2.

Unless anyones willing to pay an annual Salary to the developer for Ptokax developement....    Pls be patient.

it is being developed at his Own Pace  ..  There is Life Outside DC ..    And i guess this takes priority  ..

it is being developed at his Own Pace  ..  There is Life Outside DC ..    And i guess this takes priority  ..
I don't complain on  his pace, it just,... why can't  another skilled programmer help him or something???

"Added options to send Description Tag to all, only to OPs, not send."

Is this literally just the user's description tag? How is that beneficial?
Title:
Post by: Herodes on 14 December, 2004, 23:52:36
It is for economy bandwidth :

the user sends his myInfo to the hub ...
$MyINFO $ALL username description<++ V:0.000,M:A,H:0/0/1,S:3>$ $LAN(T3)$email@email.com$12314$|

the short myInfo will be

$MyINFO $ALL username description$ $LAN(T3)$email@email.com$12314$|

thus saving the hub from sending <++ V:0.000,M:A,H:0/0/1,S:3> to all users ... thus instead of wasting time it can resume with other stuff ...

the users may exchange myInfos when connecting  between them ..

Post by: imby on 14 December, 2004, 23:57:33
Yes I realised it was a bandwidth issue but will just not sending the tag to all make a significant difference in terms of bandwidth? i thought if an option like this was done, it would only send the user name to all.

this trick comes from verlihub, just on verlihub you can strip the myinfo even more.
by doing this verliba boosted the max users on 100Mbit from 6400 to 10.000.

true my flavour of a short myinfo would have been

$MyINFO $ALL username .$ $LAN(T3) $$12314$|

but that could also be extra adjusted to three levels of shortening the string ...

one full info , one no (tag), one no (description, tag), another the fully stripped version ...

but that would add another week of testing on PtokaX .. :D (maybe)

the ppl who have the 15.30 and 15.31 won't ever share them.
and later versions are like you can see on the next shots personal builds for the testers.
here (http://www.plop.nl/0.3.3.0/) you can see some screen shots of the real latest beta from ptokax 0.3.3.0 with LUA 5.0.2.

hi Mr Plop

I'm interested in 1 thing ,,
How many users can your version ( 0.3.3.0 with LUA 5.0.2) hold before it flip out ??
My version of 15.30 did hold 2360 users before it started to restart itself and other strange behavior..

There is a script smwh in this forum that makes the compatiblity between the standard lua4 library functions and those of the lua5 ..
although there is a very slight possiblity that those lua4 we are making now will be working when using that script,...

I dont think it is smth to worry about .. there are many ppl who can script lua in here,... and most of them are eager for lua5 .. a Lua4to5 request section just NEeds to be opened in this forum ( or the other 1 ). but lets not worry about it just yet ... we need to see the new ver 1st ...

2 quik questions, don't know if they've already been asked but, in the new PtokaX will the banned message be changed 2 give an emila addy or suttin instead of jus sayin" Your Ass Is Banned" and also wil it be possible 2 put a given limit on the ageof the user-statistic MC Access file instead of having to clear out the old dates from months ago manually?

banlist will be better according to PPK (more detailed).

The your ass can be changed now, open the english language file, make a language folder in the ptokax folder, then ptokax places an english.lan there - it can be edited... good luck!

Well its great to see PtokaX on the move again with updates of the new PtokaX version in progress, including the LUA 5 language. This has now made more happier to still see PtokaX hub software being the leader of all hub softwares that are around (My Opinion).

Any way I would like to say nice to see you again Skrollster and a message for him. Glory Securtaz as you already know is a big favourite script for me and since its precompiled any chance of new version for LUA 5 or is there something up your sleeve for Glory Securitaz updates hehehe.

Also since now I am on the subject of LUA 5 how easy will it be will it be to convert our current scripts to LUA 5 if and if a converter will be made.

Merry Xmas everyone and I would like to thank all the newbie and pro script writers for prividing me and others with some amazing scripts to keep our hubs individual and fun. Also to Ptaczek for making me love PtokaX out of the other hub softwares hehehehe..

about gs, there might be a release of gs for lua 5.0.2 if i have time then pt 0.330 is released... (there is a prototype of a new version but it is in alpha stage and _IF_ there will be a script it will be using mysql, i have a few projects started)

and it will be easy to change to lua 5.0.2 imho and it will be worth it...

it took me 5 seconds 2 rewrite 90% of a.i. by using my 425 converter script, the rest had 2 be changed manualy.
that took 1 evening and 1 more 2 re-check everything, but like always i overlooked things.
but it's 1000% (no thats not a typing error) worth the effort.
so many new things are possible on lua 5, but that doesn't say you should use all of those.

Thanks for keeping Ptokax project alive !

Lua 5 support is a very good news and I've seen that
you've satisfied many requests exporting new methods as GetOnlineUsers()...

Since I haven't found a better place, I post here some features I would like to see in future ptokax release

Multihub is far far away and I'm not able to find any information about how ptokax treat multihubbing so I've tried to do something with external tools.

I've written my own version of multichat based on MYC and works fine but when I'm trying to redistribute $Search among the hubs connected ... the ptokax hub security stops most of these searches giving 5 sec timeout ...

Is it possible to override this for a single user ?

The other thing I would like is a button for saving the content of ptokax interface to config files.
It's very annoyng to modify the motd or other settings and could not see in config files until ptokax is closed again...

If you have any hint about multihubbing, please feel free to post here or write to
ilpozzodelleanime@libero.it

Sorry for bothering you....

I've noticed a few hubs running PtokaX DC Hub 0.3.3.0 build 15.25 .....  All i would like to know is , ... is this build stable enough to use , cause you can find this version all over dc++ .......

And does it use lua 4 or 5??

it uses lua 4 and it's stable enough 2 use, BUT it can be crashed really easy with any dc client.

I think when you will be able to get the new ptokax, it means that it was been officially released, and that means that it was already properly tested.
The real question is...when?  :D

GetRegOnlyRedirect()
SetRegOnlyRedirect(0/1)         - 0 disable 1 enable
GetRegOnlyRedirAddr()
SetRegOnlyRedirAddr(NewAddress)

can be set from the scripts and from the console, no restart needed.

A big hello to everybody! :)
Yes it's really me, ptaczek. After really really long time, full of massive changes and "updates" in my personal life, Im on a way to gently join the stream again ;)
Im delighted that this community still survives even without PtokaX updates and I would like to thank you for such favour!
Yesterday I had a short chat with PPK and I have granted the new release of PtokaX. It has really changed since my latest coding contribution and I must say that PPK is doing great job. Thank you PPK! ;)
I changed several points of view on several things in human life. From now on I would like to have a "live update" webpage for ptokax with latest builds for everybody. The domain is still alive and paid for next year. But please, be patient - I did no coding almost whole last year ;)

Best regards to everyone on this blue board!

The PtokaX Wiki is a good idea. Let me see what I can do.
Also be prepared for the LUA4 -> LUA5 scripting madness. And please, be patient. Developing can't be fast with one and half of developer (the half-developer is me currently). Maybe it's time to expand the team...  8)

Just like to say , it's great that your back. :) Me and 2 other people were invited to try and crash the new version last night (with no scripts running), and it with stood assult from all the ones we tried.  Infact the only one which still worked was the AnnoyBot, and that died after a bit as well. :)

Apparently they are only 2 pages left to do, or sommit like that, so i cannot wait to actually try it.  :D

HI ,,
 Now when the release of the new Ptokax getting closer
 i wonder what OS (win 2000 , win 2003 or win xp) you Beta-testers recomend for for the best performance ??
Title:
Post by: Jaakko on 25 February, 2005, 17:54:50
So if I understand this right you can strip $MyInfo in the new ptokax. I know it is for bandwith saving but how much more users can it take? I know a friend of mine had 400+ users in his ptokax hub with 512/512 dsl, mut ynhub can take 700+ users with same connection.
Will the new ptokax be able to compete with that?

HI ,,
 Now when the release of the new Ptokax getting closer
 i wonder what OS (win 2000 , win 2003 or win xp) you Beta-testers recomend for for the best performance ??
my personal advice is win 2k pro for small hub's and win 2k server for big hub's.
pro is lighter then xp and server is lighter then 2k3.
i reached 0.0% cpu on about 30 users on win 2k adv ser.
beside this i found the uptime bug on this system, about 60+ day's.
then ppk gave me permision 2 install an updated beta. lol

Maybe because if you don't click the close button, before closing the hub (on existing versions), it doesn't save changes to the .ini file. :)

If is with PtokaX 0.3.3.0 build 15.25 or older then is good. Old PtokaX versions waste badwith on myinfos, and have only few "small" badwith optimizations. Most parts is rewriten for real and very advanced badwith saving (i use some trick not used in YnHub :] ).

and read the docs carefully as some ppl had trouble launching it @ 1st, but it definatly works.

I've had similar trouble.  Cannot find debug.log (but probably not looking in the right place).  To stop this error, just don't Enable Statistics on the Options page.  If you have the MS Access-db components installed it probably works.

Great work everyone who has who has help make this, and thanks for the public-ish type of release. :D

(On 0.3.3.0.b16.03.nt.dgb)

It's not a big deal as such, however when you first start the hub it reg's you straight away before your users have returned:

26/02/2005 23:56:14 - Serving started

consequently, looking at //www.hublist.org both times I've tried this: i'm now showing as 0 users, therefore off the hub list for a few hours. It would be cool if you could delay this, or do whatever you did on the old ptokax's :)

Perhaps it'd be best to set up a central repository for PtokaX hubsoft versions... Otherwise questions like these two above will multiply, people will try to help and we'll end up with multiple beta versions all over the place again.
Perchance I knew where to find PPK (well, I actually found Dag ;)), and I was thinking about helping kbeh & McQueen by temporarily hosting the build I downloaded on my website and/or sharing it on my hub... But would that be a good idea? I gather development has resumed (yummmm :D), so there will be further .dbg builds... It could rapidly become a mess.

... on re-reading I realize maybe I'm stating the obvious again and the dev-team are probably already working on it... d'oh!

If this is a policy i this forum to *make fun* of people that wants an answer where to find the new ptokax ,
then maybe its time to use another hubsoft/forum - thats more serious
btw - i have looked in lots of hubs and not find PPK myself - thats why this answer pisses me of

Post by: Scanning on 27 February, 2005, 10:34:13
It took me 2 minutes to find PPK , and i used //www.google.se
And i belive it will be an official release today..
People have stopped searching for stuff today, they just want other  people giving them everything ..
Just look in the hubs today, everyone is asking simple stuff in main, when they should search first or check out rules, faq and....

S?ken, s? skolen i finna = Search, and you shall find

And thanks goes to ptaczek, PPK and all of you beta testers

And yes, my english is under construction :P

There is acctually a very good reason to not make a public release..

IF you would had found him you would be one of them who would complain if it did mess up your computer realy bad... IT is a beta for the ones who find ppk.. no more no less will get it....

For the sake of equality, go to this hub:

dchub://anafra.no-ip.com

and find PPK there.

however, he is also here: dchub://wza.digitalbrains.com:1416

if you know where 2 find ppk, you know where 2 send the debug logs.
it's useless 2 have the beta's if you can't/don't supply him the logs.

My anger was because of the attitude to theese 2 person who asking for the adress ,,
it would be more polite to explain why you cannot give it in public and not making fun of them ,,
end of this discussion now !!

the beta is on the site, but people need a direct link to them because if you visit ptokax.org, its just saying "soon avaible". People, if you search for ptokax 0.3.3.0 on google, the first link that shows up, there you will find skrollester posting direct links to the PtokaX 0.3.3.0 build 16.04.

Might sound silly, but where do i find the debug logs ? I assume it isn't the error.log , cause that is just full of registration servers which aren't online.

I think it will be created in the logs folder the first time ptokax detects a bug/error.

what is the difference between "debug" and "normal" release?? Is the difference that debug release will create logs when it finds bug and normal wont make any logs of bugs?

the debug release is a bit slower cause of the debug handling.
the release version like expected is slower and has some more optimizations, but if you wanna help then pls run the debug version.

Title: socket support for shoutstat lua?
Post by: spinmagiic on 05 June, 2005, 17:13:25
first off ...dude your shit rox!  keep up the good work.
 
 what i seek is to add my radio station to the hub. i understand that the current ptokax does not contain socket support for that. Is this something in the works or possibly already done?  i read elsewhere that trying to use a previous lua wouldnt work also due to the lack of sockets.
  any direction would be appreciated

Hi folks,
today I talked with PPK a little. Life is really strange thing and  takes various directions all the time. From now on PPK is the project leader and main coder with admin rights on this board. Im staying in the shadow as an advisor and maybe occassional coder. This reduction of my post was inevitable due to past life changes. My current focus is in totally different areas now. A music-making and commodity trading to name a few and of-course my current job. Things always change.
Once again thank to all of you for incredible community which makes me rally happy for several years.
