work just the same as the HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_* variants).
- Module coders: HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_CONNECT is now also called during net-merge. You can use
IsSynched(sptr->srvptr) to find out if it's called due to a net merge (0) or a connect (1).
- Added spamfiler 'user' (u) target. This regex is checked against nick!user@host:realname
when a user connects. This makes it easy to ban drones with simple patterns.
For example: '/spamfilter add u gzline 86400 Drone[0-9]+!.+@.+:Drone[0-9]'
would kill any drones that have both a nick and realname with 'Drone' followed by digits.
attacks (eg: rainbow) and prevents cracking of several passwords at once.
This change means /MKPASSWD will now just generate a different string than before.
Do note however, that the old syntax/encrypted passwords will still work and _will continue
to work_ in the future, for at least the whole 3.2* series.
If you are concerned with security and have some time, then converting your passwords
is probably a good idea... Just in case your configuration file gets stolen one day ;).
- MD5 password encryption is now always available on *NIX, even if SSL is disabled.
that you should pass the ZIP_LINKS etc options to 'nmake -f makefile.win32 custommodule'
many people didn't do this which caused odd problems when reading certain clientstructs.
Module coders: in the meantime, for 3.2.1 mods, use something like:
nmake -f makefile.win32 USE_ZIPLINKS=1 ZLIB_INC_DIR="c:\dev\zlib"
ZLIB_LIB_DIR="c:\dev\zlib\dll32" custommodule MODULEFILE=m_mymodule
For 3.2.2+ these additional parameters will no longer be needed (but wouldn't harm either).
weirdness, this also affected spamfilter (so any spamfilters added only at notice
and not at msg on windows would not work). Now using the real 'notice' parameter.
Also linked to a page with an unreal dev package which contains zlib+ssl+curl
precompiled. This basically means many people no longer need to compile zlib/ssl/curl
anymore themselves (which is a pain to do and takes a lot of time).
compiling modules and their (binary) compatability, zip links (zlib), ssl (OpenSSL)...
Remote includes (curl and c-ares) instructions still need to be added.
- Made 'Install as a service' unchecked by default, this should help beginners a lot.
/connect or autoconnect) and was not present in the cache. Reported and traced by sh0

- Fixed compile bug at *NIX caused by ModuleGetErrorStr fix.
