Lua Sockets DLL for WSR

[-=Fox=-]

The WSR is a Device that allows you to send Wire Values from one session to another either in Single Player or in Multiplayer, you can send values to anyone running a WSR on their Gmod Session. ^_^

Documentation

http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod...mentation.html


Current Status of the WSR: WORKING!

Notes:
For long distance transmissions or high lag transmissions some data loss MAY occur, this is a limitation of the UDP transmission system not the WSR.

The Failsafes for the system that ensured reliability weren't working as they were supposed to, for the time being FreeFall has removed them to get a working WSR. So Packet and Data loss is possibility. We are currently working on this to improve reliability.

However there is a work around, using the CPU or an E-Gate setup with some code can help ensure your data gets from one place to another!


Current List of Experimentation Servers:

Hamachi VPN - WSR Test Server (http://Hamachi.cc)
(Case Sensitive)
Network: WireNet1
Pass: wire


The first Hamachi Group is suddenly gotten FULL! So the Secondary "Spill-Over" group has been created. BOTH groups have access to the "minibox" on hamachi so they can still test the WSR!

Network: WireNet2
Pass: wire

WSR Servers Available for Testing

If you have a Dedicated machine that has the WSR and want to help test this, let me know and I'll add your machine to the list. Your machine does NOT have to be in the Hamachi Group but it would be good to also include it in the group.

I'm working on getting another machine available for this.

The Format for the Entries:
Name - Address : Type
(Notes)

"Minibox" - 5.62.12.248 : Loopback
It should have 2 WSRs set for ports 27110 and 27109.

WSR Types

There are a few basic types of WSR systems that were playing with, here are a few ideas that I've been tossing around. (Note: this is subject to change!)

Loopback: Simply returns the data back to the sender
Relay: Sends data to another WSR (or to any other system)
Interactable: The WSR is connected to a system you can interact with



How to get the software you need:
(And other information)

Just putting a copy up here for someone, or anyone that wants it. I can't seem to find it anywhere, but it is a required component for the Wired Socket Radio!

Unpack to the \garrysmod\lua\includes\modules folder. It's a Rar.

Files: (as they appear in the modules folder)
luasocket.lua
gm_luasocket.dll
socket [Folder, lots of lua files]


modules.rar

The WSR is now available via SVN for the latest version Here:
wiresocketradio - Revision 30: /dev

You'll also need this, Visual Studio Runtime Files:
Download details: Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Hey, it's a lot for a lot of awesome!

Also, if you want to Join us for doing WSR related stuff join the Hamachi Group! ( http://hamachi.cc ) There is no file sharing, this Hamachi group is only used for testing and doing WSR related stuff.

FIRST!

So anyways, what does this DLL do that the first luasockets doesn't?

[Mr Affinity]

Oh I messed around with this a while back. I used this, and the adv dupe teleporter. I was able to send things from server to server.

Lots of fun.

[InfectiousFight]

I'm working on a teletype machine that can use this.

Its part of the cowbell. XD

[Grocel]

I will join the Hamachi group, because i want to test the wire socket radio addon.

It IS the first Luasockets DLL (there's only one) it's just buried within facepunch and its hard to find.

Just a friendly reminder! Were still looking for more Testers for the WSR!

There are VERY interesting plans and things that are going to start happening in the next couple of months. CPU coders are a plus! But anyone willing to play with the WSR is welcome!

[Polymorph]

I've successfully Tested the WSR from My singleplayer game to Captain Maim's singleplayer game just fine, but you can't send and receive on the same channel. I ended up crashing his game with the Field Generator though. That was kinda funny.

[-=Fox=-]

We've got 11 people on the network so far, I'll be testing some special programs this week that use the WSR's capabilities so I'll need a few people to help test them!

Dupes will be available when the main code is done so keep checking!

Also if you have CPU or wire devices that can use the WSR, we need you!
