Binary Module Request Thread

[sasherz]

Hi. Summer is starting to bore me, so I'm looking for more projects to occupy my time with. If you want lua bindings to anything, source engine or otherwise, request them here!
Note that I have a job irl, so I probably won't be able to get every request done nor requests that are really big or intricate.

A decent/working geoIP module! There used to be one but AFAIK it's broken currently. An update/fix to that would be great!

Actually, I can't really see why you would need one
You could do something like this:

gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )

function IPSearch( data )

	local name = data.name
	local steam = data.networkid
	local ip = data.address
	local usrid = data.userid
	local bot = data.bot
	local index = data.index

	if ( !ip or ip == "" ) then
		return
	end

	local exploded = string.Explode(":", ip)

	if ( !exploded or exploded == "127.0.0.1" or exploded == "localhost" ) then
		return
	end

	http.Fetch("http://freegeoip.net/csv/"..exploded[1], function(body, len, headers, code)
		IPCallback( name, steam, body )
	end)

end
hook.Add("player_connect", "GetIPInfo", IPSearch)

function IPCallback( name, steam, contents )
	local tab = string.Explode(",", contents)
	local ip = tab[1]
	local country = tab[3]
	
	if ( !country ) then return end

	country = string.gsub(country, [["]], [[]])
	ip = string.gsub(ip, [["]], [[]])

	if ( country == "United States" ) then
		country = "The USA"
	end

	local basetext = name .. " has joined the server from " ..country .. " (" .. steam .. ")"
	
	print( basetext .. " [" .. ip .. "] !")

	for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		v:ChatPrint( basetext .. " !")
	end

end

Why not make it send the country code of that system to the server instead, and have the server process it? It's a much simpler way than messing with GeoIP.

net.Start("InitialSpawnCountry")
net.WriteString(system.GetCountry())
net.SendToServer()

These may be of use too:

local countries = {
	["US"]="the United States",
	["LT"]="Lithuania",
	["RU"]="Russia",
	["AU"]="Australia",
	["GB"]="the United Kingdom",

Dunno if the locale changes it though. My PC is set to japanese, would lua think I'm in japan?

Most likely, though it's not something I've tried really experimenting with.

My code was simply an example, the tab contains more than just the ip and the country

[sasherz]

Okay, so am I or am I not working on the geoip module?

[QUOTE=Chessnut;45360763]Linux luasockets[/QUOTE]
Never done a linux module before, so as long as garry's module crap doesn't throw a fit, I'll give it a go. What specifically do you want?

gm_vfs for gmod 13.

Because there are so many good things to be made from creating (read:downloading) files in-game without making the entire filesystem vulnerable

To quote coldfusion in that thread:
[QUOTE=CawldFussuian;30253113]this module needs to be installed on the client making it pretty useless[/QUOTE]
As the owner of a server, in order to do the downloading crap you want to do, you'd need to have each client install this module.

Unless you want a module that just gives you unrestricted file i/o?

[suchipi]

I'm fine requiring that clients install it as long as I can implement a check that it's loaded

And I actually am looking for "unrestricted" i/o but only within the garrysmod directory (or a search path within it like vfs uses), if a server owner asked me to install a completely unrestricted i/o module I'd probably say hell no

EDIT: The reason I am looking for this specifically is to implement a new pac3 part that lets players with this module loaded load mdl/vtf/etc files from URL. Players without the module would just see an error, but players with the module would download the models and precache them, so then the source engine could just handle them normally

What's the point of binary modules?
I request that we team up and write some

Binding shit to gmod's lua interface for fun and profit.

For instance, I could bind sdk functions that people want but no one has made modules for, or I could bind stuff like winamp or whatever to a module.
