PtokaX forum

Is there a chance for PPK to change PtokaX $LOCK EXTENDEDPROTOCOL to this format?

$LOCK EXTENDEDPROTOCOL (WHATEVER HERE BUT HAS TO HAVE PtokaX in it) Pk= (soft verssion)?

Would save lots of drama when hublist pinger tries to indentify hubsoft version from welcome message (currently) to get PtokaX version - and here if for example someone uses russian language - ping goes nuts and leaves as version undetected?

Hopefully thats not a lot of work....

Here is example what is going on with all current ptokax versions:

As u can see version is there but surrounded with nonsence that preg_match wont be able to do...

I don't see any good reason to change...

Yeah back in the days there was only one hub software :P
Now we have around 30 or more hub softs -  each one has unique $lock now for pinger to recognize each one correctly - each has to be different.
Verlihub is best at it:

$Lock EXTENDEDPROTOCOL_verlihub Pk=version0.9.8e-r2  plain simple and to the point and no problems ever.
Flex:
$Lock EXTENDEDPROTOCOL_FLEXHUB_MULTIPROTOCOL_AGO6 Pk=version0.2   also simple and to the point

Ptokax and ynhub have no soft version in $lock at all.
I means would be nice if Pk was for soft version not soft name thats all.
That way any php pinger would have soft nane from 1st lock part and soft version from PK=  because now pinger has addictional function to look at this: This hub is running ptokax (pregmatch)
and if someone changes language  this hub is running becomes something else - hope u understand - i dont know how to explain it better.
It wont hurt your soft and will make it easier to support in any hublist.

Hub software version have nothing to do with hublist. PtokaX is supporting hublist register server. PtokaX is supporting botinfo/hubinfo. So supporting PtokaX on hublist is very simply, because is used standard protocol.

OK nevermind.... i did a temp fix for now - seems to be working.
