wire txt files server access via E2

[Timomo]

ya.. the title says all...

i thought about a smaller wiremod server that holds txt files..

they should be accessable via E2-function

the files could be saved like wiremodserver/e2files/STEAM_ID/...

i think it would be cool.. so you could upload/downlaod files and recive files from other people...also you could create a "wire-internet" and display the files on o console screen..

i dunno if this happens.. (i think no)

reasons for wont happen:

- extra server
-costs money
- difficult to code a function with lua? (or c#)


say what you think

You'd need a way of uploading files. I know lua can retrieve them through the http functions, but I doubt it can upload.

How did garry do with the cloud thingie then? Never used it, but I am pretty sure you can upload through garrysmod itself.

[Whosdr]

That's a good point. Although isn't that done in C++?

[Drunkie]

You could use the custom httpRequest() function for this, but it retrieves the source code of the page so you have to parse the text.

Clients include a datastream.StreamToServer - GMod Wiki function, however, when I used it nothing was transmitted. I believe E2/other tools upload text with console commands, storing each character/line at a time.

Stuff like this is being worked on, check out a couple of threads and you'll see that this is already possible ^_^

Storing wire data as Txt files:

Transmitting data around like server-client:
Foxi Modem v2

Add some programs and put em together and you got internet... wait... those are all my posts... and that's really strange... why would I do that.... >.>

I think being able to save files permanently onto a server would be a nice idea, but why not just make it save to the server that is hosting the game rather than a separate wiremod cloud server?
Of course, there would be a need for certain restrictions, and a way of disabling the file saving to the server, but it would eliminate the need for having to re-upload files to the server all the time.

I suggested this before, a sort of ftp function. I had found a DLL that is capable of doing this, though people seemed to dislike the idea, and found it rather worthless.

Check with Freefall I think he's using OOSocks you can check to see if its capable of doing that.
