Quote from zenware :

I think some sort of interactive configuration could be implemented for power users and basic users alike if they decided they wanted to use it versus the zeroconf methods. Also, as to the auto updating you could have PRISM or a launch script call a helper script that checks for updates and pulls them, this is easiest on a *nix system because it would require git as a dependency. I know the github team uses Amazon S3 and updates an exe file that is called every time there is an update. I will however look deeper into this problem, but those are some quick surface thoughts.

Well, like some things I've seen, you could always include a git executable...

Quote from Dygear :

You can start making releases for PRISM at that point on here. I really don't have the time for this currently, so I'm happy to give it to someone who can maintain it. I can ask Vic to give both you and Jay access to mod this forum as well so you can do releases property.

Well, I believe I was given mod access already, and Jay doesn't have an LFS account(he is more of a programmer then a gamer, though I could always ask him to make one). I'm sure him and I could maintain PRISM now that I have a decent grasp of how PRISM exactly works.

Quote from Dygear :

Yes.

Alright, I'll make that change in the version Jay and I are working on.

Jay(ZenWare) and I are going through and redoing all the updates, The reason some of the files got removed was one of the commands that he ran to remove stuff from Cloud9(Online IDE, works kinda like google docs, and allows more then 1 person to work on the same file at a time, syncs with git, should check it out ) deleted some of the stuff for PRISM. In addition, we are separating the changes from the complete rewrite for now. and may make that PRISM 0.5.0?

I found and reported this a while ago, and nothing ever got done about it... D: (but that's my fault for not making a pull request on it)

Quote from T3charmy :

Ok, there is a really annoying bug, When a user is on the server already when Insim starts, their ISP_NCN packet sends twice, so anything done on PRISM connect(While that client is on the server), sends twice...

found the culprit:


<?php 
        # Get information on the clients & players, and their current race state.
        # These are redundant because of the above request for an ISM packet.
        # They must remain in order to avoid an error state in some plugins.
        $ISP->SubT(TINY_NCN)->Send();    # get all connections (ISP_NCN)
?>



Edit: Aha, no I see why I didn't do a pull request

Quote from Dygear :

Yeah, that's a known bug. Not really sure how I am going to fix that yet. I ask for the connections in the case of PRISM starting while there is already a session in progress and I don't have their information yet. The request is needed so that I can populate their information within the state module. I'll probably check to see if there is a session in progress before I request an NCN packet.

Edit 2: So is it safe to remove the 3 lines in the PRISM constructor or not?

Yea, sadly none of this looks good. Eventually, the DDoSer will hopefully get bored, and leave us the heck alone. All we can do is wait it out...

Depends on the scale of the attack, But based on the names from the original attacker way back when, they are using the legend DDoSer, which I believe limits attacks to 30 mins.

Curious though, does the LFS Master Server not have any DDoS protection? I know the location that my LFS Servers we have Cisco Guard, and they supposibly handle up to 10GB/s attacks, with a 15GB/s burst(The Datacenter I host at, host alot of goverment stuff, so they need high security, and protection). The attackers never managed to take my Cruise server down back when this all started. o.O

LFS runs(both playing and hosting) fine on Linux, using wine/mono. you might have to play around with the available insim to get them to run properly on Linux, but it is indeed possible. I have done so: [SC] Cruise Server

Edit: Just remembered you're a demo and arn't able to go on that server... Go to my demo server: [SC] Cruise Demo 1

As far as stability goes, it seems to work fine been running it on my cruise servers for a little over 2 weeks, and haven't had any crashes(that I know of), Most of the reason it's all screwy, is the fact we made the PSR-1 + PSR-2 Changes during the move over to name spaces, this made GIT freak out, because we were trying to undo the namespace stuff, but keep PSR, I don't suggest pulling just yet, him and I were talking about going back over everything again, and fixing up things that weren't correctly converted, and were missed(such as prism_packets.php).

That would be a really cool idea, something I never really considered. I'll see if I can't make the native function myself and put the patch on to the github repo. I'll then send you a link too it on here.

Sounds good. let me know how that goes.

is there a way to send a message to all connected host? like a MsgToAll() or something built-in?

I am a high school student, and have a part time job as an Assistant Technology Director at a local school district... I help manage 320 iPads, I'm in charge of their virtual servers, and coding their website...

I also code websites and insims for my self... :P

Quote from Dygear :

Cool stuff, T3 if you want to submit those changes as patch I'll happily merge them and you can release the next version of PRISM (just don't forget to add yourself as a dev to the PHPInSimMod.php file at the top of the class definition).

Alright, I'll do that, though, I gotta figure stuff out, cause some parts of my PRISM is still 0.4.3 and other parts are 0.4.4

Edit: Soon as I can figure out how to use Git, I've been using BitBucket for all my stuff for a while...

Edit2: I have modded the Timer system to use names, I've used it for months it has no issues, mind if I put that in the next version? or should I just leave it out, until you see fit?

Some cruise fans are using it to try to create something but other then that it's pretty dead.

Yea, My Cruise Plugin is currently 2361 lines, and will probably hit about 3000-3500 lines in a day or two after I go on this coding spree of fhinshing up my to-do list...

Quote from Dygear :

I'm honestly surprised that anyone is still using it, while PRISM still works quite well with the current version of InSim, it is in such bad need of a re-write from the ground up. The odd thing is, that I think the numbers of people using PRISM is going up quite significantly over the past few months, I'm guessing we are getting some people switching over from ARIO, and new servers showing up that don't want to pay for something that is no longer supported.

from what I see, PRISM works fine, I've only ran into a few small core PRISM errors, most of which I've fixed my self, I am gonna be looking into the TOC packet tonight and see what's causing it to spit errors at me... I've even managed to import a few features from LFSLapper(such as alternating button text) with my own ButtonManager. :P

I keep getting an error on TOC, with this line in prism_statehandler.php

I've done quite a few insim updates last few days. Worth a checking..

Quote from 240sxdaniel89 :

Good server. deserves more users though

Thanks. Would be nice to have more users. At least the members we do have, come back often.

P.S. Stat Imports are no longer possible...

Quote from PoVo :

Dean stopped paying them? I don't how he would just stop paying for the hosts.

Something must have happened to him

Yea, It's quite unusual for sure, he was last heard from on December 11th, I figured with as big of a LFS Server hoster he is, he would have servers payed for months in advanced... but guess not... :/ Hopefully he is getting better... Would really suck if something horrible happened to him...

Don't wait anymore for 500servers.com
Dean stopped paying them , so they shutted down the machine from 500servers and everything is lost, that's the reason why services arent running.

As promised , here's the logs and the information about the conversation , if don't believe it , go your self to their #irc , you may check it on www.killercreation.co.uk

Nope. Not anything... Kinda sad...

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

oh fail. My bad. didn't even think to double check that... My bad. Ignore my post :P

Just a heads up(I guess?) I was getting this error:

Which is this line:

Might be worth fixing for all 3 command functions...
