Hi,

I know that only very few people know C++ here but perhaps some more know Python. Our dedicated script is written in Python and it would be nice if some people could help us here on developing it.

If you know Python and you are interested, please join us.

Some background information about how the current dedicated script system works:

As written in another thread, I've just started learning python, so i will hopefully be able to join you in a couple of weeks to help with some small things.

Ow, Hatten, a couple of weeks? Just spend a day or two learning and you should know it fine enough

. But who am I to tell that, I can't understand any of it.

A couple of weeks to find a good time to sit down without anything else to do. As it is now i read a page every now and then but i forget my book as soon as i sit down by my computer =D

echo "sudo ifdown eth0" >> .bash_profile
(repeat and replace eth0 with whatever interfaces you may have - trust me, you will remember

)
or do something like eject /dev/cdrom;sleep 3;eject -t /dev/cdrom, in a loop for that little extra annoyance.

Hatten · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:37:54 pm »

jeeeesus, never in my life i would do that to myself!
I haven't seen the ifdown command earlier, and bash_profile is the same as .bashrc, right?
But i guess that it kills my internet at startup, or?

Yes to both points.

Back to topic: Anyone able now to write/read Python?

Hatten · « **Reply #8 on:** September 03, 2009, 08:49:45 pm »

The book is boring! I never get to code anything, just read read read about strings and such boring things. That have kept me from reading it, in addition to everything else.
I will probably order another book, (currenly reading learning python, the other one programming python) so the fun may get back.

But no, i haven't got almost anywhere since last time =p

Yes, programming books are often boring while just reading.

That is why you should always try to learn a programming language in a different way: Just try to code and if you need to know something (for example how to handle strings or something) or get some ideas how to do this&that or what you can do in general, you can look in the book. Most important in any case is that you should spent always, even at the very beginning, most of the time with actuall coding something and not reading.

When I've learned Python I've read Dive Into Python - it's for ppl who already know at least one programming language, the first example is so badass you don't need to read any further if you'll understand it.
Then I've read only Python language reference and Python libraries reference in a way Albert described - read a doc only when and where you need it.

I downloaded the sourcecode today and looked through the python files in /share/gamedir/cfg and /share/gamedir/scripts . I also read the TODO and glanced at the bugs in the bugtracker at sourceforge. Exactly what is it that i can do atm?

I got a nice C++ book from my brother a few days ago, that actually lets you code! =D

pelya · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:49:24 am »

Well, there are lot things to do with Python scripts, for example find bugs on Albert's ded server when some commands are not working etc (lat time I checked I could not change map name)
Add more commands like "!weap rifle,gauss" to ban all weapons except Gauss gun and Rifle
I had for a long time an idea for "!cw [T3] [Emp]" command, that will book for halfhour the server for players that have [T3] or [Emp] tags, putting all other players to spectator mode, and allow first team or both full control on game settings + !start !stop cmds. Then you won't be able to play CW for a hour or so, to prevent CWers from taking all servers.

You may of course implement your own ideas, and do that before my suggestions, cause it will keep you somewhat motivated.

Hatten · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:19:26 pm »

Ah, hmm.
I think I'll make some simple stuff on my own first, I don't have a clue atm how to make that, or almost at least.
I also have to install olx =P
And in order to do that i have to... *mumble mumble*

I'll pm you guys if i run into trouble.

Can somebody (you) perhaps work on this:

Hatten · « **Reply #15 on:** September 23, 2009, 09:53:25 pm »

Why don't people just write that in their config file =P
I'll have a look at it tomorrow, hopefully.
or the day after tomorrow...

albert · « **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2009, 01:54:35 pm »

Any progress here? We really need someone who has some time working on it.

For those who have tried: What were the problems? Please just ask if you don't understand something.

Gaston · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2009, 05:09:47 pm »

I have looked through the scripts, but some of it is beyond my level. atm I don't have time to fix them, much partly because I'm studying python at university, and I need to concentrate on assignements we're getting there, but once we're done with them (not so long til that happens), I'll try to get a real understanding of how the scripts actually work.

You are studying at Abo university?

But anyway, Python is not very hard and the way we coded the ded script is even more simple because none of us (afaik) doesn't really know Python.
