[REL] Socket Module & IRC Resource

[MCvarial]

Module:Sockets

I proudly present you ml_sockets a c++ extension for mta 1.0, it was made by Gamesnert, MCvarial & x86.

The module adds socket functions & events to mta, sockets are used for communication between computers.

See wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_socket

Installation:

- download ml_sockets (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Modules/Sockets)

- place ml_sockets in (..server\mods\deathmatch\modules)

- add the module to your mtaserver.conf ( or for linux)

- restart the server

Functions:

- socket sockOpen( string host, int port )

- bool sockWrite( socket theSocket, string data )

- bool sockClose( socket theSocket )

Events:

- onSockOpened source: N/A Args: socket theSocket

- onSockData source: N/A Args: socket theSocket, string data

Support for listening sockets will be added later.

[Mr.Hankey]

Why don't you pass the socket as source for those events? That would fit the usual event styling in MTA more.

[eAi]

It would, but I guess sockets aren't elements. I reckon they could be though - but I'm not sure if there's a simple way to make new C element types.

[MCvarial]

Because its not possible to set the source of events with modules.

[x86]

It should be.

Hey

It's great to at last find something compatible with linux , Although there's 1 thing about the IRC resource that i am having trouble with when trying to connect, I get this:

[19:55:44] Starting irc
[19:55:44] irc started successfully
[19:55:44] IRC: resource 'irc' outdated, please update!
[19:55:46] IRC: connecting to (IP) on port 6667...
[19:55:46] (IP): connected as MTA!
[19:55:46] (IP): notice from (Server): *** Looking up your hostname...
[19:55:46] (IP): notice from (Server): *** Found your hostname
[19:55:46] (IP): PM from 642F3C7C: ^AVERSION^A
[19:56:25] (IP): disconnected! (closing link)
[19:56:25] WARNING: core.lua: Bad 'element' pointer @ 'triggerEvent'(2) - Line: 179

Where (IP) and (Server) was the server i was connecting to

Dunno if you already know of this, or any way around it lol

Any help appreciated

Huperman.

Thank you for reporting this.

This looks like the IRC owner has enabled anti-spoof, which needs to send first a ping back before logging in.

Should be checked by Gamesnert & MCVarial (just a little bit debugging).

Questions? contact me @ IRC (x86).

[ccw]

I could be wrong, but calling Lua from another thread is fraught with danger.

I humbly suggest you put the data for the onSock* events into a thread safe queue, and then from within 'MTAEXPORT bool DoPulse ( void )', process the queue and trigger the events.

[x86]

Thank you for your suggest, ccw.

Fixed in: r88:

We are using it at mini-missions and seems all working fine so far, also is quite fast.

[wouter0100]

I have a problem: (

Because if I join I can not approve, but when I restart the resource if I am gejoint

I can pass all commands? I really get nothing: (

I had already tried that when someone connects to the resource he automaticly

irc restart but that did not work: S

I hope someone can help.
