a sysop helper?

no. it's a twx-like helper. there are a bunch of sysop-like commands there but they're mainly for controlling who can connect to your proxy and who can't. black list is for people that should just get rejected without asking, white list is for people that are approved, and gray list is for people who tried to connect and are waiting to be put in the black or white list. other than that, it can run LUA scripts, support multiple connections to the proxy (like twx), and it keeps an extensive game database. i'm still working on basic stuff right now. the database part is working fine, but i'm not parsing as much as i'd like to be. the proxy itself is working great; just need to work out a few nuances. the script engine is what i'm working on now. i have a proof of concept working, but haven't rolled it into the proxy itself yet. i'm thinking we should have an alpha release ready around christmas.

Twx (Esc) key puts out the same code as cntrl + G on my machine.

Is this normal?

Escape and Data Link Escape are the same for telnet...or is me.

update : lua scripts are working in zyrain. here is a sample script that i've been using to test:




comments start with -- and the rest is pretty much self explanatory i think. oh - z:send() sends text to twgs and z:write sends text to your local client. this is just basic stuff. i'll be adding a lot more features over time. i'm just psyched that this is finally working. to be honest i never really hoped that i'd have scripts in this helper; i was going to just let people do all their scripting with twx, but lua makes embedding scripts in C/C++ code pretty accessible. i guess that's why blizzard uses it in WOW.

Is there a web link for a full explanation of the code for LUA?

lua is a standard scripting language that you can extend within your application. so i just added a few functions to it for zyrain and shazzam we're golden. check out lua here: http://www.lua.org/.

here is a script to do an in-game ping:

Yes, LUA is a nice and simple script language. I plan on adding support for it in SWATH as an alternative way of writing SWATH scripts. Also works well for quick queries in the SWATH console.

Anything cool in this helper?
