RE: A nice way to view the IDL file
I just open MsgplusLive.dll in OleView.exe (packed with Platform SDK) (Can also be found with [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=OLE-COM+Obje ct+viewer&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8]google[/url]) Works like a charm, and even gives me all interfaces if ... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-10-2006 at 02:23 PM |
RE: First official script release!
Just wait for SP3 ;) | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 10:57 PM |
First official script release!
So here's my first official script :) You'll notice that it's slightly different from other scripts, and slightly more advanced... in it's own special way :P Anyway, give it a 'shot' hehehe :P Instructions: just type "!roulette" in a conversa... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 10:50 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
That'd beat the point of a script. And tbh, How would one create something that'd press that button every time MSN is loaded? Anyway, I'm not saying we should completely lock this down, but making it as easy as copy-paste is not the way to go... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 09:00 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
They wouldn't be able to prevent the "Are you sure you want to load this unsigned script"-prompt in the installer ;) Possible Patchou could even have the registry value of "developer-mode" to be some kind of hash of the username that another pr... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 07:13 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
You can still do that, you just tick "developer-mode" and write your script. And if the prompt at sign-in annoys you, you can simply fill in the web-form and have it signed :/ | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 07:08 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
I'd have no objection against writing big projects like that in a scripting language, and I would not have any objections against people learning from it. I would however get rather pissed off if people would distribute/sell it under another name. | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:56 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Unsigned scripts just won't work in run-mode, so in order to spread your plugin to the general public, you'd have to get it signed, and thus the "copyright committee" gets to look at it first. | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:45 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
How would just enabling unsigned scripts annoy anyone ? | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:31 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
If people don't care about other people changing their scripts, they can indicate that in the source of their scripts. if the "copyright-committee" gets a script that is basically a rip-off, but read in the comments of the original script that it... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:27 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Alright, it appears there are a lot of misconceptions here, so let me summarize it: In Plus! there'd be a simple option stating "Allow unsigned scripts". I'll refer to this as "developer-mode" (allowing unsigned scripts), and "run-mode" (not ... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:26 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Getting tired of pressing the quote button and ending up with terribly long posts, so I'll just reply straight away :P For the last bloody time, you *can* prevent people from stealing the source and taking away the credits. By taking away the credit... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:10 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
You would get a warning upon loading an unsigned script, but it would still function. Then when you think your script is done, you just send it in to be checked and you get a certificate that the script has passed security and "copyright" checking ... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 06:03 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Not pointless at all: - The user has purposely enabled developer-mode. - The user will still get a warning before loading unsigned scripts. | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 05:51 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
If you change the script but keep the copyright notice intact, possibly even adding a line or two describing your changes, then you could just send it to the "copyright commitee" and have it signed :/ If you're too lazy to do that, you could inst... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 05:46 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Look at ActiveX controls used on the web. They have to be signed too. Same goes for Java Applets... This method is proven to be practical, so stop saying it is not... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 05:30 PM |
RE: [HOW-TO] Pointers / Structures in JS
You're welcome :) Just be sure to share anything you change/think should change ;) | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 02:42 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
How would contacting the "copyright comitee" be a problem ? As long as you don't remove the credits and such, you can just send it in with a little web form and it would probably take a few hours max for it to be checked :/ and I'm not saying th... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 02:33 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
If people want to modify something and then give it back to the community that's fine, just KEEP THE BLOODY COPYRIGHT/CREDITS NOTICE INTACT! We're not paranoid about someone stealing our source and creating something nicer with it, we're paranoid ... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 02:09 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
*sigh* would you mind at least READING?! If you don't get it signed, it won't work unless Plus! is run in "developer-mode", and it'll have loads of security prompts. So spreading unsigned code would not be feasible... And sending it in to get si... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 01:49 PM |
RE: [HOW-TO] Pointers / Structures in JS
How's this? UPDATED! :D This time it's not limited to DWORD values ;) [code] function AllocateMem(size) { var LMEM_FIXED=0x0000; var LMEM_ZEROINIT=0x0040; var LPTR=LMEM_FIXED|LMEM_ZEROINIT; return Interop.Call("Kernel32","LocalAlloc",LPTR,s... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 01:40 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
We're not saying that we don't want modifications of scripts, that's fine. If someone actually adds new functionality to a script, and properly gives credits to the original author too, then I see no problem at all. What this protection scheme wou... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 01:21 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Why do you always wait for something to go wrong before fixing it? Hasn't anyone ever taught you that prevention is better than cure ? You did the same with the beta protection, thinking that it won't be needed. Guess the world kinda proved you wro... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-09-2006 at 12:11 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
To be honest, you don't need to actually connect to the Plus! server to validate scripts. You could "sign" scripts that can be trusted with a certificate or an RSA key or something. Then if Plus! loads a script, it will check if it has been signed... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-08-2006 at 11:08 PM |
RE: Scripts / Open source disadvantages
Hash the script, use some kinky RSA method to check a certificate on the script, only allow the script to run if the hash is right, or the user has explicitly allowed unchecked scripts to run... | TheBlasphemer | | 04-08-2006 at 10:36 PM |
