Re: Does any alternative exist for lobby with linux ?

Well, does unzipping it work? Might need to grab spring portable so it can have unitsync.dll.

Re: That PS3 thing

Huh, looks like PS3s count as federal interest computers and offering to work for someone is extortion. Who knew!

Re: Static libs - can they be removed?

Fallback should be the paragraph of code we have right now. Using the version in Boost sounds good assuming this isn't going to require linking an additional library; I'm not really sure how to check. Okay, maybe even if it does. But not an entire nonoptional dependency.

Re: Static libs - can they be removed?

Md5's implemented under /lib/ right now, but so is lua lobby, a piece of spring. All the other directories under /lib/ have a handful of files with notable functionality. Md5 is one .c with three functions, implementing an algorithm simple enough to be given in full as code on its wikipedia page. It...

Re: Static libs - can they be removed?

To an extent it's the distribution's job, but it'll take a bit to convince me that something as simple as md5 is better off as a library. Zip libraries yes.

Re: What exactly is hang detect and why does it keep triggering?

No, no, timer's more intelligent. I'd hate to have something detected as 'hung' because it was in the same spot every time it was checked.

Re: Static libs - can they be removed?

I can't think of why md5 and 7zip would require that?

Lua has that and other customizations, and updates are pretty rare for it. Also we don't have a fully secured lua environment in the first place.

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

Thank you, id10terror, for making my point. You only have to extract all the files before it if you want a file from the middle of a block. m??info.lua is very likely to be at the beginning of a block.

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

solid refers to the fact that there is no index to the archive Wrong. All the metadata is stored in its own location, you can see it without extracting, and in fact the entire point of a solid block size is that you only need to extract the blocks you know the file is in, not the whole archive. no,...

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

It doesn't seem to be anything complicated. Instead of compressing each file with LZMA, it compresses each X megabytes with LZMA. So it should be possible to easily extract items at the start of a block.

The order in which it compresses files, however, is still an unknown.

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

LZMA doesn't work that way. There's no lookahead in decompression; you run through a stream linearly, keeping around the last X decompressed bytes so it can easily output repeated data. 7-zip's GUI reflects this. The 'memory usage for decompressing' is always the window size + 2MB, no matter how lar...

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

1. If you want a file from a solid block, you have to decompress the whole solid block. There is no order of files that would matter there. If there are no solid blocks, or they are small, then you have to decompress little, and here order does not matter either. I do not know the default settings ...

Re: Dev Meeting Minutes (06-12-2010)

It would help if you read the thread and saw how a way to detect solid archives was only now worked out.
