Hey guys,

Here is a sneak peek of just some of what I have been working on over the past few days on CCTube.

To our server.

To our server.

Aren't there any security issues.

You kidding me, NeverCast is boss at Security and I'm not half bad at ideas for security (I just can't implement them all myself) ... just like our video format we are getting it all as secure as possible...

Also to aid with security very little is done in the CCTube program side, most is done on the server side so its very hard to see how we implement anything.

[superaxander]

If it's serverside i couldn't know it!

what?

[superaxander]

how secure it is

Well think of it this way, for your account password that is stored on the server...
Paraphrasing NeverCast: "while only taking 0.1 seconds to make it secure, according to our calculations, assuming you have a good password, and assuming the hacker had already hacked our server and downloaded our code, a 7 character password would take 11 thousand years to crack."
so it would take even longer if they had not got our code.

[superaxander]

Nevercast is a god in security then!

On the development of my screensaver program, I have found a few problems with CConfig:

1. It will not accept:

config:getBoolean("name",true)
OR
config:getBoolean("name",false)

Because it tries to string.lower() the second parameter, which won't work.

2. I do not know why, but after I removed the pastebin link to the default config by your request, it no longer generates. No config file is created. This is a snippet of my code:

local config = CConfig.new("shnupProgFiles/screensaver/config.cfg")
config:load()
scrnsvrID = config:getNumber("screensaver",0)
config:addCommentForKey("screensaver","What screensaver to use? 0 = words, 1 = indie letters, 2 = random letters, 3 = pixels, 4 = lines")
wait = config:getNumber("waitBetweenPrints",0.005)
config:addCommentForKey("waitBetweenPrints","How many seconds to wait before printing the next word/pixel/whatever")
isRandCol = config:getBoolean("randomColour","true") -- Tell BIT that booleans aren't working.
config:addCommentforKey("randomColour","Is colour randomly picked each time it prints?")
col = config:getColour("colourToUse",colours.white)
config:addCommentForKey("colourToUse","If colour is not random, what colour should it use?")

(And yes, all folders it mentions have been created already)

Oh I thought I fixed that yesterday. Ok its fixed now, sorry. I didn't push out the update :/ Its now version 1.4.2

It is really the easier way to do it, why download a file when the utility does it for you. Your problem is that you didn't read the examples and/or the explanation properly, your missing

config:save()

Also on a side note, this part of the comment for key 'screensaver'

0 = words, 1 = indie letters, 2 = random letters, 3 = pixels, 4 = lines

is probably more suited to

config:addRestrictionForKey("screensaver", "0 = words, 1 = indie letters, 2 = random letters, 3 = pixels, 4 = lines")

Now note this is another kind of comment, the api doesn't actually force the user to stick within these restrictions

Update CConfig OP!

The 'Functions' section is in a better order and may help people see what NEEDS to be done if they decide to just skim.

Update CConfig!

v1.4.1

• bug fix, damn booleans

v1.4

• Added new function, getTable, at the moment this is experimental and may not stay unless i can make usability for the user awesome.
  
• Added new functionality to function, reset, can now reset and individual key, if no key is supplied it will reset the entire file.

Thanks! Yeah, I totally didn't see the config:save() function, lol that would've helped.
And, nice to see that you fixed booleans.

Haha yeh
Yeh wow the booleans are a pain in the butt! I'm trying to make it as end user friendly as possible, but thats extremely hard to do without breaking it all together!
Well actually most of my programs are aimed at having good usability, but that is hard!
