Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v5

[exodusthefirst]

After trying to get my audio files to match the exact specifications that surface.PlaySound is picky about, I am still having no luck.

*** Invalid sample rate (32000)

Even though the file's sample rate is 44100hz, but only after changing it from 32000 to 44100 with Audacity. For some reason Audacity speeds up the sample rate. Whenever I use VLC to convert my file I get an error along the lines of "Unable to create BASS Audio Stream (unsupported file format)

[QUOTE=code_gs;52685282]You have to pass the function object[/QUOTE]

But is there anyway to get a function from the functions location? ie 0x4caee048 into the object? I can pass it to the string dump on clientside but then I can't verify if the byte is correct server side without passing the object which could be overwritten

At this point you're talking about memory reading

Which isn't possible

[b]What is your goal?[/b] are you trying to write an anti-hack? or a hack? attempting to un-obfusticate a file?

If you are trying to send a function from the client to the server don't, Never trust the client, find another way this is not safe.

Just sounds like function/file verification. I don't think he's attempting to network it.

I thought what is meant here was to dump a function's code on the client and then upload it to the server.

Either way I like to spread the message to never trust the client.

That's a very overarching message that is wrong a lot of the time. A better statement would be you should never believe the client over the server. Using what the client says can be useful in cases of ping and lag compensation, or necessary in relation to user input.

local tbl = {

-- Jobs does not exist until the gamemode has loaded, so we're gonna do it in here.
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "insertJobs", function()
    local jobs = {
        [TEAM_HELIX] = true,
    }

    table.Merge(tbl.jobs, jobs);
end);

hook.Add("PlayerUse", "openDoors", function(ply, ent)
    if (not IsValid(ply) or not IsValid(ent)) then return; end

    local tr = util.TraceLine({
        start = ply:GetPos(),
        endpos = ply:GetShootPos() + ply:GetAimVector() * 100,
        filter = ply
    });

    if (IsValid(tr.Entity) and tbl.doors[tr.Entity:GetClass()]) then
        if (tbl.jobs[ply:Team()]) then
            -- If the door is locked then it won't open, uncomment this to make the doors unlock and open
            -- tr.Entity:Fire("unlock");
            tr.Entity:Fire("open", "", .5);
        end
    end
end);

Maybe I've done something not like needed?

I haven't use pointshop, but I'm fairly sure it uses PAC3, this is an issue you will get, the way I do it is in PAC3 I ensure that they are connected to the right bones and test it out on different models and try and get a solution that looks okay (ish) on most models

If you wanted to be pro about it you could get the function from CompileFile for the files serverside, use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/jit/util.funck]jit.util.funck[/url] to get the functions inside the file, cache the bytecode, then compare the client's bytecode to the server's with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/jit/attach]jit.attach[/url]. iirc !CAC does something similar.

Is there a way to remove an effect on the client? If so, could someone point me towards the right direction.

[gmoddertr]

I want to disable triggering "numpad" functions with player's keyboard. By disabling, I mean when somebody press a key to trigger a lamp/winch/dynamite it shouldnt work. They should be only activateable with button-keypad etc. Since button and keypad use those functions by theirself, I only have to make some overrides on these functions. does anybody have an idea?

I'm unsure how to overcome the hurdle. I'm trying to compile file a file to be analysed but I can't, it just errors the location of the file :(. Is there no way to retrieve the contents via compile file? I tried AddCSLuaFile as a last resort but no avail

Be sure you're doing it serverside and you don't need to put "gamemodes/" at the start.

I forgot to mention that jit.util.funck and jit.attach will return prototype functions so you have to use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/jit/util.funcinfo]jit.util.funcinfo[/url] instead of debug.getinfo.

How can I get the function with jit.util.funck it requires a constant i've tried with the garbage constant and nconsts provided by jit

[SneakySquid]

[QUOTE=blackwidowman;52690580]How can I get the function with jit.util.funck it requires a constant i've tried with the garbage constant and nconsts provided by jit[/QUOTE]

This code basically just compiles everything in "lua/autorun/", gets all the constants with jit.util.funck, checks if they're a prototype function, then prints where the function was created and on what line in the file.

local files = file.Find("lua/autorun/*.lua", "GAME")

for i, name in ipairs(files) do
	files[name] = CompileFile("autorun/" .. name)
	files[i] = nil
end

for name, func in next, files do
	print(name .. ":")

	-- gcconsts isn't always 100% accurate from what little testing I have done
	-- but when it was wrong it was only 1 off and was only wrong for 1 file out of 87.
	for i = 0, -jit.util.funcinfo(func).gcconsts, -1 do
		local funck = jit.util.funck(func, i) -- get the constant

		-- it doesn't return normal functions so isfunction wouldn't work here.
		if (type(funck) == "proto") then
			local funcinfo = jit.util.funcinfo(funck) -- prototype function so you have to use jit.util.funcinfo.
			-- verify the function here
			print("", funcinfo.loc)
		end
	end

	print("")
end

I've been having an issue with mysqloo :(
onSuccess and onFailed isn't being called, even tho the query goes through and is successful.

heres muh code:

require 'mysqloo'

local DB_HOST = 'localhost'
local DB_USER = 'root'
local DB_PASSWORD = 'root'
local DB_NAME = 'inventory'
local DB_PORT = '3306'

local function spam(str)
      print '\n\n\n'

      for i = 1, 10 do
            print(str)
      end

      print '\n\n\n'
end

hook.Add('Initialize', 'sql_test_xd_lmao', function()
      local sql_obj = mysqloo.connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, DB_PORT)
            sql_obj.onConnected = function()
                  spam 'Connected to MySQL'

                  local query = sql_obj:query 'create table if not exists testing_rawr (uno varchar(50), dos bigint)'
                        query.onSuccess = function()
                              spam 'Query was successfull'
                        end
                        query.onError = function(_, err)
                              spam('Query error: ' .. err)
                        end
                        query:start()
            end
            sql_obj.onConnectionFailed = function(_, err)
                  spam('MySQL connection failed: ' .. err)
            end
            sql_obj:connect()
end)

onConnected is being called:
[t]https://gyazo.com/0ef95d79083edbbfc94e2bcabe26f63d.png[/t]

and here's to show that the query is successful:

Getting an interesting issue;

Couldn't include file 'cl_inventory.lua' (File not found) (@gamemodes/gmbr/gamemode/cl_init.lua (line 6))

This only happens for some people, usually rejoining a [I]few[/I] times fixes it
This has also happened in the past with cl_init.lua..

Here's all of my includes setup
init.lua

AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "thirdots.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "sh_items.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "pac3_itemsetup.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "cl_scoreboard.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "cl_inventory.lua" )

include( 'shared.lua' )
include( 'thirdots.lua' )
include( 'sh_items.lua' )
include( 'pac3_itemsetup.lua' )

cl_init.lua

include( "shared.lua" )
include( "thirdots.lua" )
include( "sh_items.lua" )
include( "pac3_itemsetup.lua" )
include( "cl_scoreboard.lua" )
include( "cl_inventory.lua" )

There's no errors to go with this, it just sometimes doesn't like to include the file, can anyone help me out here? would be appreciated :)

Anyone know why networked variables created with `self.Player:NetworkVar` in a player class are not being networked to other clients? I have an RP name string in slot 0 in my citizen class which isnt getting networked to other players on the server. The server reports it being created correctly and its returning the correct name on the server but on the client only I have the getter for it, for other players its nil.

I managed to "fix" this by doing

hook.Add("NetworkEntityCreated", "", function(e)
	if (e:IsPlayer()) then
		player_manager.RunClass(e, "SetupDataTables")
	end
end)

DTVars on players are a bit wonky. Use NW(2)Vars.

You're probably testing without a player on the server, at least one player needs to be on before statements are executed.

It'll connect without players though, as the statement is blocking.

Also I hope your real root password isn't root

sv_hibernate_think 1 will allow think hooks to run with no players online (which will let the query run)

I'd hope no one is using root to log into their SQL server in production.

OK, I see a problem in local timer, I've fixed it, but script still not working.
Stop just marking my post with FUNNY and DUMB sections, just help me, i'm realy feel myself stupid...
