[18:37] Шιzαя∂: wuuuuuuuut
[18:37] Шιzαя∂: but an address doesn't change even when the player dies
[18:37] Шιzαя∂: oh wait this is client
[18:37] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Ah but it does
[18:37] Шιzαя∂: <-- duh
[18:37] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :>
[18:37] Шιzαя∂: why not just use virtualprotect?
[18:37] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Huh?
[18:38] Шιzαя∂: it's something phasor and sapp use to prevent reading/writing of bad addresses
[18:38] Шιzαя∂: like obviously 532 isn't a valid address, therefore virtualprotect would prevent the server from crashing
[18:38] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Oh
[18:38] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Don't see how that's tied to fixing the XYZ problem
[18:39] Шιzαя∂: well you could still read the xyz coordinates right? they would just be delayed. Or are the client structures completely dynamic?
[18:39] Шιzαя∂: that still shouldn't be an issue, if you create a getplayercoords function...
[18:40] Шιzαя∂: other than them being delayed
[18:40] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Then you'd have to hold the main thread up while you do the checks and read the coordinates
[18:40] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Which is basically the same thing as just redesigning the API anyway
[18:40] Шιzαя∂: oh.
[18:40] Шιzαя∂: duh
[18:41] Шιzαя∂: api v2
[18:41] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Yeah
[18:41] Шιzαя∂: looking forward to it
[18:41] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Me too
[18:41] Шιzαя∂: don't pull an oxide and take ages because you're lazy
[18:41] Шιzαя∂: that's literally his reason 80% of the time lol
[18:41] Btcc22 ó_Ó: I'll try not to
[18:41] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Can't blame him
[18:41] Btcc22 ó_Ó: He's bored of Halo
[18:42] Шιzαя∂: then there's the fact that he's almost done
[18:42] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :>
[18:42] Шιzαя∂: well...... that's what I was telling myself, until I thought of communication with hac2
[18:42] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Heh
[18:43] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Perhaps when I get some free time, I'll give it a couple of weeks of my time
[18:43] Шιzαя∂: you still plan to sandbox scripts in the new api though
[18:43] Шιzαя∂: give phasor a couple weeks? or hac2?
[18:43] Btcc22 ó_Ó: HAC
[18:43] Шιzαя∂: k
[18:44] Шιzαя∂: something you should do though, organize your C functions by what they do, and then put them into a class
[18:45] Шιzαя∂: like lua has a math library, where you do math.random() math.frexp math.floor math.ceil etc
[18:45] Btcc22 ó_Ó: I'll keep that in mind
[18:46] Шιzαя∂: it wouldn't be a bad idea, i'm guessing phasor and sapp didn't do it because of their limited knowledge of the lua language
[18:47] Шιzαя∂: so are you getting bored of halo as well or are you just low on free time?
[18:47] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Both
[18:47] Шιzαя∂: most of my scripting time isnt even related to halo so I guess that's why I'm not sick of it
[18:48] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :P
[18:48] Шιzαя∂: like for example I just created this amazing class system for my commands, where all commands inherit variables and methods from the commands table whenever I call Commands.Create()
[18:49] Шιzαя∂: how the heck did 3 hours pass
[18:49] Шιzαя∂: you must be very entertaining, I swear it was like 3:00 like 2 minutes ago
[18:54] Шιzαя∂: dumb question: where do I put hac2 scripts to make them load? idk why I can't find your website D:
[18:56] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Nice :>
[18:56] Btcc22 ó_Ó: C:\Users\Btcc22\Documents\My Games\Halo CE\hac\packs
[18:57] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Or whatever your user is
[18:57] Шιzαя∂: oh
[18:57] Btcc22 ó_Ó: ...and then they need to be zipped
[18:57] Шιzαя∂: oh wth?
[18:57] Шιzαя∂: like just the script? or a folder?
[18:57] Шιzαя∂: so guessing I create the packs folder
[18:58] Шιzαя∂: why do they have to be zipped? that's weird.
[18:58] Btcc22 ó_Ó: http://blog.haloanticheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/halo4.zip
[18:58] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Probably easier to check an example
[18:58] Btcc22 ó_Ó: You'll understand why
[18:58] Шιzαя∂: your site will not load for me
[18:58] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Did you try that link?
[18:58] Шιzαя∂: oh nevermind, delay
[18:58] Шιzαя∂: so it isn't me, your site is down
[18:59] Шιzαя∂: that sucks
[18:59] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Then you have to do 'optic load zipnamehere' at the console
[18:59] Шιzαя∂: so I can't make it load automatically?
[18:59] Шιzαя∂: aw
[18:59] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Well
[18:59] Btcc22 ó_Ó: It'll load automatically after you've loaded it the first time
[18:59] Btcc22 ó_Ó: IIRC!
[18:59] Шιzαя∂: oh neat
[19:00] Шιzαя∂: uh, one more question
[19:00] Шιzαя∂: api_version that's defined at the top, is that there just for shows, or does hac2 actually do something with that?
[19:01] Btcc22 ó_Ó: It does indeed
[19:01] Шιzαя∂: O_o probably shouldn't have removed it
[19:01] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Nope
[19:01] Шιzαя∂: lol I only made like 3 changes and I can call it perfect
[19:02] Шιzαя∂: made all your functions (except the register_callback ones) local and emptied the tables instead of recreating them (waste of memory), and localized all the variables at the top
[19:02] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :P
[19:02] Шιzαя∂: so nice job
[19:02] Шιzαя∂: you wrote an excellent first script
[19:02] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Thanks ;)
[19:03] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Now the question is whether the script will work properly with the upwhatever variables
[19:03] Шιzαя∂: XD it will
[19:03] Шιzαя∂: well
[19:03] Шιzαя∂: actually for once I don't know
[19:03] Btcc22 ó_Ó: I don't see how if it's the same as C's static
[19:03] Шιzαя∂: I never used JIT before :p
[19:03] Шιzαя∂: lol i don't know what that means because I don't know C
[19:04] Шιzαя∂: lol and it's called
[19:04] Шιzαя∂: upvalues
[19:04] Btcc22 ó_Ó: In this context it means the variable will retain its value even after the function ends

[19:04] Шιzαя∂: no..
[19:04] Btcc22 ó_Ó: But that doesn't mean it can be accessed in other functions
[19:04] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Otherwise it's just another way of saying global
[19:04] Шιzαя∂: basically all it means is
[19:04] Шιzαя∂: you can't access it from C
[19:05] Шιzαя∂: and it's faster because it's indexed directly instead of using the global hashtable
[19:05] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Hm
[19:05] Шιzαя∂: what does cb stand for, by the way?
[19:06] Btcc22 ó_Ó: callback
[19:06] Шιzαя∂: i know what it is, but why the letters 'cb'
[19:06] Шιzαя∂: ...duh
[19:06] Btcc22 ó_Ó: ;]
[19:06] Шιzαя∂: alright let's see if it worked
[19:06] Шιzαя∂: it compiled successfully
[19:07] Шιzαя∂: but... I used a lua 5.2 interpreter, now let's see if hac2 works with it..
[19:07] Шιzαя∂: wut
[19:08] Шιzαя∂: an error occured while attempting to read the metadata
[19:08] Шιzαя∂: oh I zipped it wrong... whoops
[19:08] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :P
[19:08] Шιzαя∂: i zipped a folder of halo4 which contained the files... whoops
[19:08] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Heh
[19:09] Шιzαя∂: uh oh
[19:09] Шιzαя∂: is there such a thing as 'script logs' in HAC2?
[19:09] Btcc22 ó_Ó: No
[19:09] Btcc22 ó_Ó: What purpose would that serve?
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: finding errors and what line they were on...
[19:10] Btcc22 ó_Ó: It'll tell you in the console
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: it told me the error
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: just not the line it happened on
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: or the stack trace
[19:10] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Шιzαя∂: an error occured while attempting to read the metadata

[19:10] Btcc22 ó_Ó: This?
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: yea
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: no line number
[19:10] Btcc22 ó_Ó: That's not a Lua error
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: no stack trace
[19:10] Btcc22 ó_Ó: It's a "you got your zip wrong" error
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: oh sorry
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: not that
[19:10] Шιzαя∂: 'attempt to call nil value' was the other one
[19:11] Шιzαя∂: which I just fixed
[19:11] Btcc22 ó_Ó: There will be a line number
[19:11] Btcc22 ó_Ó: Look harder :P
[19:11] Шιzαя∂: lol it's 5 words in red, i'm not blind D:
[19:11] Btcc22 ó_Ó: :X
[19:11] Btcc22 ó_Ó: I'd need proof of that :P
[19:12] Шιzαя∂: you're planning on rewriting the api anyway
[19:12] Шιzαя∂: so it's all good
[19:12] Btcc22 ó_Ó: ;]
