Developer's Corner / Re: Brainstorm for a cross-platform programming language

« Last post by KodeZwerg on January 22, 2020, 01:14 AM »

Hi, RAD Studio (Delphi) is a language wich can compile for all major platforms, but only accepts C++ or Pascal format.
Visual Code might also do what you wrote.

Cheers

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for someone to fix TardsPlaya

« Last post by KodeZwerg on January 22, 2020, 01:06 AM »

What I have investigated is that I am not able to fix.
The lines how it get's it's stuff are programmed "okay" but it seems that they do not send "one file/stream" instead they send many small garbled packages where I do not know how to glue them together to be one file afterwards again.
It looks like they send raw data for their own player.
If you know fresh API's to solve that, let me know.

I am sorry!

The program I am trying to configure is from 2001 April
So I can't scale the font with the mouse wheel

Scaling ability is a programmers feature not a standard, even if nowadays many apps can do.

Simply set up another virtual machine, just for your "i want that app upscaled"-thingy

After thinking a bit on your problem i might have a good working solution.
Install VMware/Hyper-V/VirtualBox or similar.
Install targets program OS and the target itself.
Adjust the windows setting (125% you said).
From now on you have just this app upscaled and the rest is still like it was.

Requirements:
50-100GB free space on a drive
6-8GB RAM, 2-4GB for virtual machine
time to install and set everything up.

Does that method solve your problem?

Resize a Font individual to a specific size can only be done, aslong i know, by application itself.
Windows just brings either reset all for one dpi/size or use screen magnify.
For some quick results, there might be a chance to AHK it, but AHK aint my territory so i can only help to program a resizer but for that i would need a minimalistic portable version of your target program.

General Software Discussion / Re: VirusTotal marking each and every AutoHotKey exe as Virus !!

« Last post by KodeZwerg on January 20, 2020, 06:01 AM »

Since the stuff AHK is able to do it should stay permanent as a virus/trojan/alert.
Just my humble opinion.
As always you can "trust" them after testing things out.
If you want "virus-free**", simply code the mechanism by yourself or ask how-to and you get help.
Another way would be to self-sign the .exe, than users get a "non-valid" signature warning instead of a possible infected file warning.
Or finally buy a real signed license for each .exe you give away...

** in no way i do mean that AHK is virus, but the abilities are in such a wide range, doing positive or negative things...

« Last post by KodeZwerg on December 06, 2019, 01:46 AM »

For Windows and Mac:
I really dont know if it support the wanted feature, but in general it is a sweet tool and for a few days even for free.
www.videoproc.com <- Original Link
german Chip.de <- Free Giveaway Version

Howto:
Open 2nd link
click "Download Vollversion"
another window open
click "Download Server xyz"

When all went good, you have received a .zip file.
Inside .zip archive is a .pdf and a .exe
Install product by executing .exe
Open .pdf and type inside VideoProc "Register" screen the number from .pdf.

Have fun and enjoy

Be aware, the license key is meant for the .exe inside .zip only and cant be used with later versions...!
So do not update VideoProc unless you buy it.

BTW: VideoProc uses Hardware accelerated GPU encoding/decoding, thats why i use it :-]

For Windows i personal support and use this piece of software "Process Hacker"

Here is a link to sources or installer or creator 

Process Hacker main page

(other tools often have access violations, this one has its own hook to really get access to everything)

ps: take care what you do, in hook mode you can kill everything up to a windows blue screen of death!
pps: you are not limited to kill processes, you can also kill services etc.... again, take care!

#BUGS

What i did:
CLC -- file -- open another instance
The first instance's message is OK
But the second instance's message is always "Enter Text to be send in here..."

-chashnniel (October 16, 2019, 09:01 PM)

That's no bug, that is normal.
Another Instance is nothing more than (like name suggest) another instance.
Like if you doubleclick clc.exe to run it twice, triple quattro times....
I've included this to run clc.exe again if i open/join another room.
Just a small helper (same like in cls.exe "open clc instance")
(....soon this is obsolete anyway, since i am working on "many rooms in one application" code...)

Tell me please wich reaction you supposed should happen, thanks!

Thanks for testing!

« Last post by KodeZwerg on October 16, 2019, 01:47 AM »

New version with a bad bug, but i would like to show what i've done so far.
Take care, they are not compatible.

Current version: 0.0.4

Have fun exploring new features.

Bug is: it wont send all multilines correct.... very very soon fixed!

Main feature now is, the Server is a server (not a chat client anymore), and clients are what they should be
Server traffic reduced dramatical since i do now client-to-client transmissions (except BroadCast feature)

N.A.N.Y. 2020 / Chat LAN Client

« Last post by KodeZwerg on September 30, 2019, 05:29 AM »

Welcome to my little chatty fun project!

What's the point: hmmm Chat! 

Little more information:
You will need the Server file for the Server and the Client for the Clients, sound good, right?  :]
ATM no security, all transmission is pure !!!
No file send/receive possible, soon!

How to:
Server:
Run server application on Server, press 'Start' (firewall might pop up to ask for permission)
Server Bug: ATM a wrong IP for server is returned, so get it via "cmd -> ipconfig" or elsewhere.

Client:
Run Client application, press menu "Tools -> Configuration" and enter the port and IP from Server application.
Press "Store settings", back in main press "connect", if everything setted up okay, you will know it 


Things on my ToDo list:
  - show correct IP on Server application
  - implement UPD Data transmission for files
  - implement "Rooms & Private Chats"
  - implement security in severall ways (help -> manual shows a bit wich things i plan)
  - Change Name of Applications 


Have fun, i'm ready for critic, hate and love or other suggestions

Post New Requests Here / Re: [Request] - Windows Title Change ( Permanent )

« Last post by KodeZwerg on September 24, 2019, 01:46 AM »

Hi there scriptkid, there is no secure way to change an applications caption/title except by "WinSpy" things like publicdomain does.

Example:
File has crc checks inside = file would become corrupted.
File is packed (exe packer) = you cant find proper offset.

Another limitation by exe patching would be, caption/title (yes, there are two of them) new name must be same length or shorter, but never longer than original.

Sorry to kill your dream/wish for a permanent patching mechanism.

Hello again, an extreme tiny but working solution for windows systems is to do the following (no configuration on clients needed, thats why it's dummy proof ^_^)

visit NetCut, download and install it, after successful install you can simply cut off complete network traffic for http/https via your browser,
or limit bandwidth or a combination or or or.... give it a try.

Take care mate, if your students are allowed to install application they can do the same!

« Last post by KodeZwerg on September 20, 2019, 02:37 AM »

"Permanent" aint a hook.... permanent = patching .exe file.
In general you can use any "WinSpy" program thats avail to change application caption, so no need to invent something new.
