Hey I'm hoping someone here can help me with some lua scripting... I've coverting some stuff from LUA 4 to 5 and I need to fix the file IO and don't know how here is the current code <code> Files = { Settings = "config.txt", Commands = "cmd.txt", Folder = "rukus", List = "list.txt", rList = "requests.txt", OpHelp = "ophelp.txt", Help = "help.txt", TopPosters = "top_posters.txt", Pending = "list.dat", Share = "share.txt", Online = "last_seen.txt" } require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.Commands) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.Settings) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.List) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.rList) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.TopPosters) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.Share) require(Files.Folder.."/"..Files.Online) </code> Thanks in advance bigcanuck

Woot. New Release. Congrats Guys Too bad about the linux version though and unfortunately I'm not an experianced enough coder to help out(not to mention I'm not currently running linux either). maybe in a few years . Thanks for another great release, toolbars look sharpe.

Hey, I've noticed a slight bug when I upgraded to version 0.3.0 the IP's and Tags are not showing up in the userlist like they should be. I'm only getting 21 IP's. it doesn't seem to be a user client effected thing because I get IP's from :: Shakespeer, DC V.698 and 691 and Apex 0.2.2 In active or Passive modes doesn't seem to effect it. This is a private campus hub, so all IP's should be in teh same range (though sometimes users who regged on campus connect from off campus which is why it's cruial to have the IP's show up in the user list). We don't allow any other Clients then the following to connect to the hub. Shakespeer (newest version) DC++ 0.691 or newer ApexDC++ 0.2.2 or newer. We running Ptokax hub software Version 0.3.5.2 with LUA 5.1 with a custom LUA script running. If you need any other info (server or client info) let me know and I'll get it. [Edit] Seems that after serveral hours of running it eventually does get all the IP's connected, I'll run more test to figure it out more stuff.

Should be able to handle 700 I've had up to 800 gb share so it should be ok however, that doesn't mean it's not something else in Apex's code... similar anyway. is this on a public hub? if so what one? and is there anyway you can tell what client was connecting to you (ie another Apex Client, normal DC etc.) if it is a file list issue it could be in the way a different type of client is connecting to you maybe?

I fixed the syntax error that I was getting... but now there's a different issue I'll attache the code if you guys want to check it out. what's wrong is it isn't excepting code from the hub chat.

See we do know him, two of us have already talked to him in person, and a 3rd will try because he figures the user will actually listen to him. But yes the campus pop definately would not be impressed because we use our hub for more then just downloading now, it's a place where people get help with assignments and what not. We even have events that bring the community together and such and it just helps with overall campus community. But ya.. it's an annoying situation,

So here's a question... Me and my fellow Op's run a private hub inside of a campus Network In canada, now recently we've been warning a user etc. for multiple things, and now he's faced with being banned, but now he's threaten us with going to NBC Universal or some such organisation and shutting us down. now personnally I'm in favour of banning him he's been warned/kicked/gagged all too many times etc. So basically I'm wondering from a few more experianced op's what you guys would do?

He doesn't know what room on campus it's located... is that good enough? I have a pretty good idea on how DC++ net code works... but not the greatest, so ya..

curious to what router your using, as I have Apex paired with an D link 524 with port forwarding and it works perfectly :blushing: as well are there any other errors you are getting with it? all? like are you able to ping the server your connecting two behind your router fine?

I bet, and I understand You guys do great work and probably have thousands of request to deal with. Thanks for a great client, and who knows maybe I can get off my lazy self and try to write a patch for it :ermm:

I have to say I agree those would be great changes. Though one more which kinda goes with the bolding thing is if with the ballon pop ups when you get a pm if they were linked so that when you click on it would pull Apex up showing said PM.

Best thing that happened to me on DC: I somehow ended up with the server.... hehe Funniest thing that happened to me on DC: Met one of my users and his reaction was " OMG YOU AREN'T FAT! " Other stuff about me: I dunno your more or less typical Canadian?

Just curious, but are you on a campus network? or a higher security network? Myself I often get that same error when trying to connect to a public huh or private hub outside of my ISP (in this case University of Vic) or I'll get a connection after a long period of time. Now I know in the case of my ISP they try to block ports, and because of that I have issues connecting.. Now I don't have this error at all when connecting to my own hub inside of the network though. Also where are you geographically in accordance with the hub your trying to get too as usually the farther away the hub the less chance of connecting and the greater chance of a slow connection.

Well to me it doesn't seem too complicated of an idea. As you can already in the queue funciton have them organized by folder. So if in the completed download section you showed the "folder" being completed only instead of all the files in it. But say have this funtion only happen when you downloading complete directories. It wouldn't be too for I think to have a counter which could be implemented from the queue.. or cross reference it from the queue so that it could say: if downloading folder == true if files n ---> lastFile == complete then do Show Folder as complete in download section. now I don't know how easily this is integrated into the Apex Code as I've never looked into it but I think it's plausible.

I actually get the same error when trying to email him too (while using the forums email system), but I'll try and connect to techgeeks if I can. My university tends to do a semi- crappy job at blocking it... but i"ll try.

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.36 Server at forums.apexdc.net Port 80 I'm getting this error when trying to send a PM. Any ideas?

Still can't I'm trying to send one to balder if that's any difference... though it shouldn't be.

Me and our fellow Op's Linked you guys to our website this year. Uvichub.sytes.net Next year we hope to enforce all PC users to Apex (that's about 800 users or so with the rest being on macs...), just because we think this is the best client and it's extremely stable. (Can't wait for a linux client too as we do have a bunch of them whom are fed up with valknut )

K I'll keep a look out for it

My only suggestion is insuring your WAN IP is the one that's in your connection settings. I know a few of my Users have had the same issues sometimes, and it seems to be almost always that... that being said it looks like from what you said you have it set up right. And as far as I know from my experience, it's not the client after that and possibly the hub, though anyone can correct me if they know better.

Pretty Simple, serves me well and keeps things clean the bottom middle auto hides as well as the start menu Also the System Tray auto hides independently of everything else. ::Edit:: This is Windows as you may be able to tell :D

Is there anyway we can filter out IPs of a certain type. For in my instance we want to keep all our traffic inside of the ip range or 142.104.0.0 because as soon as we hit off campus traffic it uses up our users daily bandwidth limits and tat 1 gig up and down this is a big issue. At the moment we scan the ip's by hand and kick people and use an auto reg script that checks your ip at reg. but that doesn't stop people from reging on Uvic's wireless and going home and trying to use our hub. I'm not sure if any other clients have this function or not. I know it's possible to filter through a router or firewall software, but it'd be nice to have a function to run through the ip address and auto kick them. [Edit]and this is apparently the wrong thread for this woops.

Yes it does Thank you I've been searching around the net in my spare time (turns out between programming project in University, soccer and other things there isn't much)

a great function would be a pernament gag function... if that's even able to pull off. Me and my set of admins on my hub have been trying to pull that off for a few month with either a lua script or in DC++ itself. But we noticed that it would be nice to have an option to keep certain people from talking in chat but not disallowing them from the hub itself as the extra content is nice.
