Sorry about the broken patches. I blame Lotus Notes and the cretins who forced it upon us. Please find attached the two diffs.

Further progress... I have changed the Drop routine for the Romero figure. It first tests if the location hasIntelligence() before broadcastToPair() the fact it made a noise when dropped. Is testing the location for hasIntelligence() the standard way of finding out if the location is a guest/player? I would think that the broadcast routine could be coded as one routine with the following parameters: (self, subject, to_target, to_subject, to_other) self = reference for the thing where … [View More]

I know where the problem is, but I don't know the solution. I know *a* solution, but not if it is the right one :) If I 'pull string' when the figure is in the room, I get the messages once. If I take the figure and 'pull string', I get the messages twice. This is because broadcastToPair() sends the message to all containers associated with the figure's current location. If I leave the figure where it is, the containers are 'Room'. But when I take the figure the containers are 'Guest' and 'Room'. My proposed solution is to not include the location's containers in the container list. I am not sure of all of the effects of doing this. I know when I do this that I get the messages once whether I have taken the figure or not. I don't know how to test this with multiple players :( on Win98. And I don't know the code well enough to understand the logic behind it. I also think the set of broadcast routines should be standardised, especially at this early stage. That way, there will be some standards for TRDemo and Inheritance as well as any future games. Some broadcast routines just call others. I do have plans to port the more common IF examples to TR (Golden Skull, Alice In Wonderland) and perhaps the Greedy Gargoyle from PUB :) when I run out of things I wish to do to TR. The 'drop' routine for the figure also needs some work. If I drop it when I don't have it, I get the message (the self squeaks). If I take it and drop it, I don't get the message. All that is needed is a test to see if the current location is a guest and broadcast the message then. I don't know why there is a call to InappropriateVerb after the message. Hopefully I will get some more time later to sort this out. Cheers, ChrisH -- This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.

[Twisted-Python] tcp.Port.stopListening =)
by Benjamin Bruheim Sept. 3, 2001

Sept. 3, 2001

Hm, well, I just ask out of fear of a "security-hole". dtpPort is now a listening Port. Right now I have self.pi.dtpPort.loseConnection() in DTP.connectionLost, so that it won't take any connection as soon as the transfer is done. But won't dtpPort accept connections as long as the transfer is going on? If I put the loseConnection in connectionMade I get that twisted.internet.tcp.Port has no fileno plus an failed attempt of closing the socket (since there's no Port-instance anymore). Should the … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] remove a tcp.Port

Hello, The first bug I ran into with twisted.ftp is that after 15 tcp.Ports has been opened and closed, skt.Listen starts to fail. This is due to the fact that when calling Port.loseConnection, the actual code called is Server.loseConnection which does not removeReader (actually, the Port.loseConnection is broken, since it calls removeReader and not main.removeReader). Well, there's seems to be two types of behaviour intended with the code, and of course, calling a loseConnection to the … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] twisted.ftp status, and metadatafs

Well, I ought to add some words were I think twisted.ftp is heading too. The first things to do, is to add proper authentication, and filling in some holes (eg, resume and hash). A better path-handling, since os.path is silly under windows, and os.path.isabs('\..'). Distributed is the next big spot. I'm not entirely safe with it yet, but I think it should be easy to nail. One pending 'TODO' is to make it deployable as a systemwide ftp (without requiring each and every user to setup their own … [View More]

Hi, I just commited twisted.ftp, and I think it is pretty neat. Not everything is supported, but it should work with any ftp-client out there. To get it up and running, just 'mktap -r ~/myftp', where '~/myftp' is the directory you want to leech; the default is '/pub/usr/local'. Start the server with twistd, and ftp to your server on port 2121. Login as 'twisted' with the password 'twisted'. The password is stored plaintext, so be careful ;) Now have fun with upload and download. What I haven'… [View More]
