• How are people even able to steal shared code?

So today, I found out a bunch of addons I made for my TTT server were STOLEN. Here is one of them: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171315714[/url]
Really? Because it seems like he knows what he's doing and is fixing errors. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/171315714[/url] Are you sure that's it's not just similar? Have you compared the code?
I don't see why would I lie, you can even ask SparkZ. He's a person that supported me while I was learning Lua. I can also show you some other projects of mine, they use the same layout because it's MY coding. -- I coded this for PFS servers. It never had any lua errors. I am guessing the lua errors were caused when he was decrypting the code or something, no clue.
Generally speaking, it should be assumed that anything you send to the clients can be stolen. Besides which, it's good practice to completely separate your client and server logic. There's no reason to clog up the client's downloads with crap they won't execute eh?
So I shouldn't put Client and Server code in the same script? I thought the player only downloaded the client stuff and not the whole script. Oh well, thanks for the new information.
Have you filed a complaint against the addons that were stolen?
I reported it.
code_gs is right. Did you checked the code to make sure it's the same? Maybe he just created something similar.
I am pretty sure I know what I made and what I didn't. It looks exactly the same, exactly the same. And it's funny because the picture was taken on my server. He also deleted my posts from the workshop. Proof it was taken from my server: 1. Minecraft map 2. 30 points 3. SteamID to the left. (That's the message that prints in chat when someone leaves) Honestly, I don't care anymore, I was a bit sad. But this is life and it's unfair, we just have to leave the past the way it is.
Did you compare the code?
Those hackers have this script stealer that steals literally EVERY lua file on your server and converts it into a text file to the hacker. I know about it since it happened to me also. Not pleasant having your whole server file leaked.
compare the files, the shit you have isn't unique to begin with, any coder worth a pimple on their face will probably be able to recreate this faster and more easily then stealing it.
I am not talking about it being unique. The code was STOLEN. I suggest you read the thread before you hop in and start insulting.
I haven't seen this on any server yet. Death is completely right. I literally watch him make a lot of his code, this being an exception. stop hating on death for being upset someone stole his code.
The shared/client code has to be sent to the client (and are cached?) in order for the client to run them. [editline]12th September 2013[/editline] Death, you also haven't given much proof besides "he stole my code." Show us up snippets that show there was stolen code?
[QUOTE=Deathtitan77;42169092]I am not talking about it being unique. The code was STOLEN. I suggest you read the thread before you hop in and start insulting.[/QUOTE] Oh, so he just stole your "idea."
-snip-
I do not need to show anyone anything (Because I am not sure how I can do that). I am just glad I made something worth stealing.
Actually you can. Download his add on, unpack the gma
Put both lua files into this: [url]http://www.diffnow.com/[/url] Then you'll see if it's a exact copy, an iteration on your code or completely unique code.
he isn't going to, he's just being overdramatic
[QUOTE=343N;42174383]Actually you can. Download his add on, unpack the gma[/QUOTE]But that can't prove if his code is mine or his. You people are so clueless.
[QUOTE=Deathtitan77;42178452]But that can't prove if his code is mine or his. You people are so clueless.[/QUOTE] From every single reply you've cracked down. You are pretty much coming to the conclusion yourself that there is no way of verifying unless you have it on solid proof, with date of creation etc. Get over yourself. Don't post here if you are looking for a non-existing answer knowingly. Perhaps just to slander the guy?
[QUOTE=Deathtitan77;42178452]But that can't prove if his code is mine or his. You people are so clueless.[/QUOTE] your dumb lol ..goes to show that he likely stole nothing
Well I think that concludes the addon isn't stolen and he is just mad that his idea got stolen.
[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;42178962]your dumb lol ..goes to show that he likely stole nothing[/QUOTE] I have dumb? What? [editline]13th September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=angelbill5914;42179500]Well I think that concludes the addon isn't stolen and he is just mad that his idea got stolen.[/QUOTE] If I was mad my idea was stolen then those people stole "my idea": Crowbar Gaming Coderhire - [url]http://coderhire.com/scripts/view/242[/url] 420 TTT Server And all the other servers who have a gambling system. but if we're speaking about stolen code, then the right answer is here: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171315714[/url] [editline]13th September 2013[/editline] Just leaving a note out their to all the retards who don't know the definition of stolen. If someone stole something that belongs to me, obviously he will have the same exact thing. Get this through your thick skull. For more information, you have Google and a lot of other search engines to find out the meaning of stolen. Oh and since you're a retard. Google can help you with a bunch of other stuff too.
the sperg is strong with this on
[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;42180535]the sperg is strong with this on[/QUOTE]Just proving a point over here just like you all are. Plus, sperg is an invalid word.
[QUOTE=Deathtitan77;42181664]Just proving a point over here just like you all are. Plus, sperg is an invalid word.[/QUOTE] Stop throwing it on a grammar run. I scanned over your posts, and you out of all people are the least skilled in English within this thread. If even a non-native English speaker like me notices this, you should scratch yourself behind the head.
This is already confirmed stolen, and deathtitan, you're an idiot who doesnt know how to post on forums and conduct himself. People asked for proof, do you know what that means? It means unpack the GMA (GOOGLE IT) and compare the code to your own existing local copy. If you don't have one, then tough shit, nothing will happen. This code is stolen, and nothing will be done because no one cares. It's like 100 lines of stupid derma. Stop crying.
