Wire Socket Radio returns (once again)

[Free Fall]

I guess most of you know, that the WSR has been broken for a while, which was due to LuaSocket stopping to work. The long delay was mostly because there was no suitable socket DLL to replace luasocket (and two more weeks of me getting too stuck with RL to realize there was a new one).

But now (thanks to sebi99, having pointed me to LiteSocket), the WSR should be once again up and functional.

To get it working, update your WSR SVN (for those which don't have it, it's at http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/FreeFallProjects/Wire Socket Radio SingleDir). Then you need to copy Litesockets to your main lua dir to install it correctly. But before, make sure you got rid of LuaSocket. To do so, go into the gmod lua dir, then includes/modules, and delete the "socket" dir, "socket.lua" and "gm_luasocket.dll". Then copy the "includes" dir from the SVN's lua dir over to your main gmod lua dir. And there you go, LiteSocket is installed correctly.

I have been able to do some tests with a buddy of mine (Nikita on here), which showed the WSR to be working as well as it did before.

So I'm somewhat happy it's back, and I would be happy to hear any kinds of comments, bugs you find, or projects you started with it.

PS: For documentation check back on the main thread for it here (which got locked for some reason).

I love you.

Today is a good day.

Because people kept on bumping it, and you had your other thread. You want it unlocked?

Nice the WSR lives again, I hope it stays alive.

Unlocking it now, after I opened a new thread would somewhat defeat the purpose. Just meant to state that I found it kinda odd at first.

And that other thread you mention? Do you mean that "Free Fall Extension" one? That is even older than the WSR thread, and I think it doesn't even contain information for the latest version of the WSR ^_^

Lets just see how long it takes Garry to figure out how to break the new DLL

Well, after unlocking it, this thread could be deleted, but yea, I'd rather see a new thread.

Oh, I assumed it was newer because people tend to release a batch of their stuff after making individual projects. It was still dead and being repeatedly bumped, though.

Which probably won't be long. =/
