Uhm any suggestions on how to proceed when i need a slightly modification in curl for my tw mod :/ ?

13:53

I thought about putting whole curl in src/engine/external/curl and then mofiy it but it seems like a bloated approach

Don't modify curl?

can i overwrite just a specific function

13:54

:/

It's a pretty well built and flexible library, I'm sure there is a way to do what you want to do

but ...

13:55

idk how

13:55

its probably faster to edit it than understand how to flex it

Just google it?

what?

Or tell me what you want to do and I'll google it for you, since you seem incapable of reading documentation of any kind

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/lib/escape.c#L59

A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, TFTP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS, FILE, IMAP, SMTP, POP3, RTSP and R...

13:56

i want to remove . and ~ here

13:56

so i can escape strings and use them as filenames

Easy, wrap the function yourself

hm?

Create a new function, chillerdragon_escape, then remove . and ~

13:58

then call curl_escape

ye

13:58

that was my first attempt

13:58

but it did not find all the curl helper methods

13:59

13:59

i guess i can only include those

13:59

and escape.c needs those

Image attachment

wat?

uhm i want to change the curl_easy_escape method

14:00

which calls stuff like Curl_saferealloc

14:00

and idk how to include the files which hold Curl_saferealloc etc

to be absolutely honest with you, I can't even begin to understand tf you are trying to do

14:01

You want a version of curl_easy_escape that doesn't escape tilde and .?

it should escape tilde and dot

14:01

default doesnt

14:02

because those are ascii and thus valid in url or something idk why they are not escaped

14:02

but i want to escape tw usernames and then use it as filenames

14:02

so . and ~ are problematic

Okay, you create a new function, that either first calls curl_easy_escape, then escape the ~ and . by hand. Or you do it the other way around

i dont want to remove them

14:02

i want to escape them

14:03

and i dont want to write crazy string manipulation code that resizes a string

So let me get this straight, you want to resize a string without resizing a string?

i want '.' to become "%2E" which is longer :/

14:03

nah i want curl to handle rezising

14:04

cuz i trust curl devs

14:04

but not my code

It's not rocket science....

:/

14:04

it is

Each character can at most become 3 characters, you allocate a string 3 times the size, do your replacing, then call curl easy escape on it

it is easier to remove those two chars from the switch case for sure

You don't get to modify other libraries

:/

Especially safety critical libraries...

xd

14:05

i rather edit safety critical libs than writing safety code my self

14:05

big brain

Escaping a character is pretty hard to get wrong, especially the way I mentioned with generously allocating memory

i never allocated memory :/

14:07

well i did one time it was a mess xd

Why are you all programming without learning to program is beyond me :P

14:08

You know it's much easier to use a language after you learn it right? :D

its not about programming

14:08

i dont like programming :/

14:08

i want fng stats

14:08

i feel like a 12yo rn

14:08

xd

why u program if u dont like to program

14:41

i want fng stats

14:47

its just a tool to satisfy my tw cravings

14:48

i also get hangovers and i dont like em

wdym fng stats

saving stats about kills etc to file

man

14:48

just use sqlite

i wanted to try files

14:48

sql was a mess in ddnet++

cuz u did it a mess

files and file parsing is usually much more of a mess

i just have to edit libcurl then all should be fine xd

that sounds horrible

or just write like 10 lines of code that does the very simple string manipulation you want

im tryin rn

14:52

i dont feel like its goign well

If you don't feel comfortable about doing it yourself, maybe just steal someone elses str_replace?

im tryn rn

14:55

i dont feel like its goign well

you are having trouble copy pasting someone elses code?

sure

14:56

u dont?

You are a very interesting person

im close to add curl as a submodule xd

14:57

well my abused fork*

don't modify curl! don't even think about it!

:/

14:58

u all rude

not like you can figure out how to get cmake or bam to link it

ez

14:59

i guess

14:59

idk

tbh, sometimes I feel you are just doing all this weird stuff to be quirky :D

i can understand that

15:00

but trust me, no

Who thinks of modifying an external library just to avoid 10 lines of code

i person who is rly struggeling with the 10lines

compiling and linking it will definitely be way harder

:/

15:01

well probably

Oh I know the chillerdragonest way to handle this

why do you need curl for handling stats at all?

ye it doesnt make sense

i thought its easiest :/

Just do sed s/./%2E/g

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD

15:05

this is ma boi

15:05

system();

Well not that easy, you also need to pipe the output

thats why i say we should rewrite tw in bash

15:05

bash is easy af

popen handles that if you don't mind POSIX

noobs like me can write whole webservers and frameworks in bash in a few days

for what? the only stats things that might be useful is some rest api you want to use

(edited)

Now a rest api, I was actually working on

just pipe it to file and read file in c

15:06

i use curl to escape characters @redix

15:06

nothing else

O.o

but now i endeded up escaping them my self

15:06

cuz learath bullied me

I got bored of writing my own http server, but I didn't want to link in an entire server

15:07

@redix he literally patched libcurl to escape ~ and . instead of just calling curls escape then escaping the ~ and . himself...

great ^^

i should do a pr on libcurl

15:08

troll

15:08

there lib is obv broken

15:08

The highlighted sentences on those pictures aren't clarified as translatable variable, please fix it in the next update of copy_fix.py

at least not translatable on the Hungarian translation

For better translation update to 0.7 even game messages like join and leave are translated there

but im not going to product translation to 0.7 vanilla troll

troll

ddnet is better

22:25

also these are the only ones that i must translate

22:25

so i could post the latest version
