he /world/Topic() API has been rewritten.
General function:
The API is initialized upon roundstart and generates a list of possible api requests from /code/datums/api.dm
Once a request is made the following checks are performed:
If a query parameter is set (the function that should be called)
If the ip is ratelimited (or rate-limit-whitelisted)
The query is authenticated against the db using ip, function and key
If these checks pass, it is validated that the api command exists
Then the api command is called, all supplied params are passed through
Each API function returns 1 no matter if it failed or succeded
Additional info is provided in the statuscode, response and data vars
The statuscode, response and data are send back to the caller (through list2params)
The data var is json encoded before sending it back
This is not backward compatible to the current API
Current API Clients need to be updated
Nominating for worst code 2016
Adds in custom objectives for the antag competition
Adds in a verb for players to assign their character's allegiences and to later edit them
Adds in a verb for players to request objectives relating to the contest
Adds in the logging of contest results
Modifies the objective system to facilitate objectives that require regular checking (such as the brigging one, which was not functional up until now)
Updates the TravisCI config to use the latest stable BYOND release.
Adds client version control taken from /TG/station.
Updates the recommended version for hosting.
Updates code to be 510 compile compatible.
Also introduces the new updates to the GOON processScheduler, which should make for better gameplay and less lag. Specially on high population.
Rewrite's Mahzel's SQL character and preference saving.
Introduces easy config switching between the new and old system, with no troubles at all.
Also introduces better logging for DBQuery/proc/parseArguments(), should something go wrong. And classes SQL query errors as full on error snow, as opposed to debug data.
Transfer vote delay is counted from vote end, so it doesn't conflict with invalid or cancelled votes. Or other votes.
TRANSFER_TIMEOUT added as a config option, default value is 2 hours. No transfer votes before 2 hours.
Transfer votes before 3 hour mark require 2/3rds majority to pass again. Credit to SoundScopes for the original snippet.
webint shall be the common word used now, replaced all instances of webinterface or webAPI with that one phrase. Should make it easier to read and search.
sqllogging depracted in favour of config.sql_enabled. Database loading is done through /hook/startup/proc/load_databases, with initialize_database_object() being a generalized proc to read any generic database config file. (TODO: config examples in relaiton to last remark.)
Can now see the current compilation date and revision:
* In the Dream Daemon log output.
* By using the "Show Server Revision" client verb which also links you to the commit in question.
Partially by request:
The inactive check process now respects client holder status and can be configured how long clients may remain inactive before being kicked.
The purpose of this is to allow for testers on our test server without them having advance proc call which can do some fun stuff with python, etc.
Also removes debug controller so that testers can't just edit the configuration to remove debugparanoid
The default config is the status quo, you have to go out of your way and set this option in config to remove proccal from R_DEBUG
Previously missed Z-level checks in the form "z != X". Utilized this regex which hopefully has cought most of them [zZ](\s?)(!?)=(\s?)(\d+).
Adds more Z-level configuration, admin levels.
