Scripted RC

[Tyhm]

I was figuring it'd be a right given solely to the server owner. If the server's owner wants to leak it to anti-graal, we got bigger problems than how easy it is to backup and restore.

I say: leave the backups to the system they already have and give trusted PWA members access to them (the private worlds only, not the servers like UN, Zone, etc), which would make it very easy to get your server restored if something were to happen.

I say: Add a "Backup" button, that only the server owner can use.

Backup should just be stored locally - like it is now. If the server needs to be restored it's not a large task for an admin like Tig or Stefan to do and I don't think we have to worry about Graal's servers disappearing overnight.

That way you avoid any potentially damaging or threatening activities while maintaining complete functionality.

[Tyhm]

Well sure, but even if we're going to assume Tig and Stefan are going to be available to restore a server from its local backup copy, what about "Hey, I've got a great idea to completely change the system, it's a little risky but I think I can get it to work in one go - but maybe I should back up everything first"?

Then you request a back up? They're automatically scheduled anyways.

Mountain out of a mole hill imo.

Who cares about Anti-Graal having Back Ups?
I mean what's the use?

Anti-Graal can obviously not to ANYTHING to damage Graal, it's not like they're professional Hackers (otherwise they'd have hacked Graal years ago).

Well it was fun griefing my client-rc'ers on Zodiac but this should be dealt with.

It needs to filter out HTML tags sent through RC messages.

My current hack fix to prevent the tags from continuing to wreak havoc:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

/*
   Hack fix due to ScriptRCRCchat.onTextChanged not working.
*/

function ScriptedRCWindow.onWake() {
  onWatchRC();
}

function ScriptedRCWindow.onShow() {
  onWatchRC();
}

function onWatchRC() {
  // Quits looping until onScrolled can takeover completely.
  if (ScriptedRCScroll.scrollpos[1] > 0) return;
  checkRC();
  this.scheduleevent(0.05, "WatchRC", "");
}

function ScriptedRCScroll.onScrolled() {
  checkRC();
}

/*
   Checks RC for new messages / text.
*/

function checkRC() {

  // Prevent Scroll Looping
  if (this.last == ScriptedRCRCchat.text.length()) return;
  
  // Get Last Line
  temp.rcchat = ScriptedRCRCchat.text;
  for (temp.i = temp.rcchat.length(); temp.i > 0; temp.i--) {
    temp.char = temp.rcchat.charat(temp.i);
    if (temp.char == "\\" && temp.lastchar == "n") {
      temp.lbpos = temp.i + 2;
      break;
    }
    temp.lastchar = temp.char;
  }
  
  // Determine Last Message
  temp.lastmsg = temp.rcchat.substring(temp.lbpos);
  if (temp.lastmsg.pos("</font>") >= 0) {
    temp.from    = temp.lastmsg.substring(0, temp.lastmsg.pos("</font>")+7);
    temp.textmsg = temp.lastmsg.substring(temp.lastmsg.pos("</font>")+7);
    temp.textmsg = temp.from @ filter(temp.textmsg);
  }
  else temp.textmsg = temp.lastmsg;
  
  // Alter Text
  temp.oldspos = @ScriptedRCScroll.scrollpos;
  ScriptedRCRCchat.text = ScriptedRCRCchat.text.substring(0, temp.lbpos) @ temp.textmsg;
  if (temp.oldspos != (@ScriptedRCScroll.scrollpos)) {
    ScriptedRCScroll.scrolltobottom();
  }
  
  // Record Length
  this.last = ScriptedRCRCchat.text.length();
}

// Filter's <font> tags.

function filter(msg) {
  temp.mpos = msg.pos("<font");
  if (temp.mpos == -1) return msg;
  temp.cpos = msg.substring(temp.mpos).pos(">");
  while (temp.mpos >= 0 && temp.cpos >= 0) {
    msg = msg.substring(0, temp.mpos) @ msg.substring(temp.mpos+temp.cpos+1);
    temp.mpos = msg.pos("<font");
    temp.cpos = msg.substring(temp.mpos).pos(">");
  }
  return " " @ msg.trim();
}

My current hack fix to prevent the tags from continuing to wreak havoc:

Can you not just replace "<" with "&lt;"? I've done it several times and it works a charm.

[fowlplay4]

Yeah but then the tags show up.

Isn't that what you want?

I've picked up work on the Scripted RC again and have made the following improvements:

• The ban window now works properly. You can ban both accounts and PC IDs now;
• The ban window also shows now the length of time that a ban takes, and how long there is remaining on a ban;
• The rights window has been updated and now uses tabs;
• HTML tags stripped properly from RC chat;
• RC chat is now automatically focused when you press F6;
• The script editor now has an adjustable pane so that you can drag the section between the script list and the editor;
• Removed the playerlist and instead added context menu items to the normal scripted playerlist when you log into Scripted RC (just right-click someone on your F7 list after logging in with F6);
• Adding drop-down menus for the colours selection in the Attributes window.

Things I plan to fix over the next couple of days:

• Admin messages not always working properly.

I would really appreciate it if you want to test it. You can do so by loging onto Login 2 and then onto your server and pressing F6. Let me know if there are any bugs or anything that needs improving/fixing.

The scripted rc still needs the ability to search the script list and file browser.

When you have literally hundreds and hundreds of weapons, classes, etc, it would be nice to search for a specific item.
Like the external rc does now...you begin typing, and it finds the first instance that begins with what you typed.

Other than that...i'm glad this is finally being worked on again.

Edit: Also, another thing. Is there any way to check if a player is on clientrc?
The only way I found to do this was to check:

PHP Code:

(@ "-ScriptedRC").this.sessionOpen 


Which of course only works clientside. There should be some flag set to the player if they are on clientrc.

[cbk1994]

Tig has implemented the type-to-find, albeit in an obstructive way, with the playerlist on Login 2. That should be easy enough to copy and fix up.

Definitely can do this in the filebrowser, but the script editor might be a bit more complicated since scripts are being opened when they are being selected at the left. That might make it hard since if you click the left so that you can start typing, you might open a script, and also when a script is selected, it might be opened by the client (since it probably simulates a select event).

The clientside check is the only reliable one, not sure if it's a good idea to add client flags or such.
