Pleh File Sharing (Source) by Pleh on 12-16-2003 at 11:01 PM

Well my plugin meets all of the specifications i had first set and even meets a few new ones other people sugested. I will not be doing any updates for my plugin for a while because i am working on other larger projects. I have decided to make this plugin open source to help new programmers start their own plugins. I have commented as much of it as i can. I hope this will help a few of you get started. If only more people released their source we would have alot more better plugins out by now. I hope a few of the better programmers follow in my footsteps so we can really make some good plugins :)

If you use any of this code in your own plugin please referance me in it somewhere (like Patchou and myself did), thanks.

Yeah... :p

* WDZ knows the basics of C... it would be interesting to see some more examples of C/C++ plug-ins...

* WDZ slaps VB around a bit with a large trout.

Wdz - if u want ill show u the soure to a couple of my plugins (im thinking reloader, and nick template)


RE: Pleh File Sharing (Source) by dotNorma on 06-04-2004 at 02:37 AM

I was coding this plug-in and I wanted to make an installer. But for my installer I wanted to automatticlly detect the plugin directory through the registry and I needed the registry module that dempsey uses and dempsey isnt online. So I remembered you used the module also so here I am here to get the module. (By the way , Great Plugin and nice to see that you decided to let others learn from your excellent work)

Dempsey, can you make it so that the client doesnt need the plugin? Because that would be really nice.

you mean only you needing the plugin, and not your contacts? This isn't possible because they would need the plugin in order for them to send the data to your computer, ie.. the folders and files, and also to actually send them ;)

No this is what I mean heres an example chat between server and client (client does not have the plugin): -

Client says: /fs-help

Server says: Here is a list of commands
/fs-dir                      Show current directory
/fs-cd <folder>        Change to directory
/fs-get <filename>  Sends the file
/fs-help                    Displays help message

Client says: /fs-dir

Server says:
Games     (dir)
Utilties     (dir)
MsgPlus   (exe)
Untitled    (doc)

Client says: /fs-get MsgPlus

Server says:
Server is trying to send Client the file MsgPlus.exe. Accept or Cancel the file transfer (or what ever appears when you send a file over Messenger)

And maybe they could even get the whole directory, by just send one file after another in a cue.


I think this would be a lot better than the current MP! FileServer plugin.
RE: Pleh File Sharing (Source) by PlehXP on 06-04-2004 at 10:01 PM

It is possible to make it so the client dosent need the plugin, it requires some more programming to the plugin and the user has to use a special character instead of the / when they use a command.

I will investigate it and let you guys know what i find out.

And now that we have Plus! 3 we can allow certain users to upload to the server too  (i asked patchou for that feature last year and he said he would never put it in for security reasons, im glad he found a way around it and decided to put it in  )

the registry module that dempsey gave me is included in the source code zip on page 1. its called Registry.bas


Note from Fraisie: Please refrain from multilple posting. Edit your past posts instead  :)
