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.

Is this literally just the user's description tag? How is that beneficial?

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)

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 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..

I see verlihub with > 10000 users in action, and only tags are stripped

[uffetjur]

Thanx PPK, nice reading!

So, any idea  of how much work its left to do before the so long expected official release?

windows is incompatible with 1 thing only, but it's called PC.

*says this installing windows to 3 machines simultaneously*

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 ...

[bastya_elvtars]

yea we have bout 2-3 years left to set ourselves to lua5 support :P

[QuikThinker]

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!

[plop]

live  lua 4 to 5 converter and a version which rewrites lua 4 scripts into lua 5.

[Xico]

Just one question PPK
Does the new PtokaX version suportes the DC Hub-Link by HaArD?
Or, the other way arround, can we wrigth a script to support DC Hub-Link by HaArD? (a working one :))

[nErBoS]

Hi,

Answering to your question Xico, the supportted script for Ptokax is been made in LUA 4.0 by BlackSpark, it had some troubles with the bans, but i think that will be solve. After the script is solved, converting to LUA 5 will be easy.

Best regards, nErBoS

the hub is using Artificial Insanety Bot by plop Version V.b LUA 5.0.2 (splitted DataArrival) for Skrollster

this hub is running on a amd xp barton 2500+ and 2x256 ddr 333 dual ram

it is running along with 2 other hubs (3 hubs total aprox 1700 + 380 + 110 users) + 2 clients fulDC with 5 hubs, iDC with 7 hubs, a webserver with 10 sites, a ftp and finaly a lot of other crap....

*edit reason: updated the stats to newer one with more users*

[bastya_elvtars]

nice stats

maybe i will make a similar if i get the new beta and rewrite lawmaker for lua5

the date of release would be rather important for scripters so they can decide whether to fix their lua4 bots or write to lua5.

i know its hard to predict without Ptaczek.

[Skrollster]

there is still some serious bugs... and the banhandling have to be rewritten....

[Flux]

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...
