[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request opened: #2081 Add support for dynamically loading an antibot module

Support for this feature is turned off by default. This feature allows to integrate with noby's anticheat feature.

@Learath2 ^ what do you think?

01:23

the other side of the module, for integration with @noby's code, is also ready

@heinrich5991 nice, why did you decide to go with a C interface btw?

@noby is your anti cheat open src now or how does it work

07:07

@heinrich5991 which other side?

07:12

ah

@Learath2 i would assume because a C interface is the most universally available one, nearly every language can bind to C

I guess we might aswell keep it universal. I was just thinking that this will only hook to one thing

@fokkonaut his anticheat is not opensource (edited)

@Deleted User how can it be put in an open source project then? Or will the rest of it be kept closed source?

08:57

Would that mean only official ddnet servers can use it?

@fokkonaut u can load the bot dynamically, its like a plugin

09:10

antibot*

How does it work?

on linux probably with this

09:12

https://linux.die.net/man/3/dlopen

dlopen(3) - Linux man page

dlopen() The function dlopen() loads the dynamic library file named by the null-terminated string filename and returns an opaque "handle" for the dynamic library.

@fokkonaut you cannot see his anticheat code

yea ik, thats why i wondered how to use it without code, i dont know whats loading dynamically

this part of code is not the same as his ac

09:20

I would assume they use something different from ddnet fng & ddnet ddrace

09:20

(maybe ?)

This part sends all the needed things

09:43

Noby's part gets the needed things and does the anticheatstuff

Add support for dynamically loading an antibot module by heinrich59...

Support for this feature is turned off by default. This feature allows to integrate with noby's anticheat feature.

@fokkonaut there's a dummy anticheat in the source code. you can replace that shared library with noby's anticheat and then the server will use that

@heinrich5991 I see, it should be fine like this, dynamically loading it is indeed a little more painful, you'd need a struct full of function pointers to be populated by the "plugin"

@heinrich5991 here?

a moment

14:11

be quick

@Learath2

What would you return from a get function for a hash table if the entry isn't found?\

14:12

I'm thinking maybe I should be returning pointers so I could return null

hm

or maybe a reference to a new element?

c++ without good optional types, yay
