jan-w_16@hotmail.com 46 Posted December 1, 2013 You're confusing open-source and freeware. Freeware only implies that the software is free for anyone to obtain.You are correct on the fact that Freeware does not always mean that the source must be available.But what I am trying to say is that only big companies that make free software that is being used by a large amount of peoplekeep the source closed. DaRT however, NEEDS the source to be published simply because it has been coded really bad and the creators of DaRT can really use some external help to get the current issues fixed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I won't argue that putting up a public repository would speed up the bugfixes :) I've used DarT myself a few weeks back and it did suffer from some peculiar and annoying bugs so I do hope the source is published. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gachris 0 Posted December 2, 2013 Hi, I have been using dart for a year now and i do find it helpfull. I am wondering why the Flags associated with the ip's and GUID of a player go away after awhile and i have completely reinstall Dart to get them back?

gachris 0 Posted December 2, 2013 Hi guys, thank you for developing dart it is quite useful. I am having another problem however. What can I do about the player associated flags, they keep bugging out to question marks ? The only way to fix it is usually completely reinstall dart but that doesn't even work now ? I would really like to see a fix for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domistyle 221 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) I like it that a program like this is available, but be honest: it simply sucks.Crashing all the time, some basic functionality not there, etc. etc.Please post the source so people that can actually code fix it.Good to hear, nobody forces you to use it. I was wondering we have 3 servers that run on dart and we just swapped one to a new host promoting the question. How can we transfer the ban list from one profile to another.You will need to do it manually by copying your bans.txt or use the mass ban feature from DaRT. The software is very poorly coded mate. We need real coders to finish this.The message "Thank you for using Dart v1.0.1, V1.1 will be out soon" has been there for about 2 months now.Many server hosts say that it's designed very badly too but there's no real coder able to fix this piece of crap becausethe makers of DaRT don't post the source code for it. Any software that does not cost money is categorized under theFreeware license which states that the source code for it has to be available to it's users.If the code is not available they have to make it cost money and stop getting payed for it using "donations".I know that the code will be available "soon" but it should have been available already.Makers of DaRT, fix this and stop making money of a free program.The code is fine. (mostly ;))DaRT is using a library which is using an unreliable protocol (RCon) which is based on an even more unreliable protocol (UDP) together with a pretty crappy server software - problems are pretty much expected to happen.I am pretty much done with DayZ due to lack of time and support for server hosters which is why development is going alot slower now. Beside, what if I told you that open source does not mean freeware or vice versa?An open source application might as well cost money while a freeware application might not have a public source.The team behind DaRT consisting of one person is infact already rich by now and made one million dollars with donations alone. ;) Source code release will be once I am home again where the source code is, I do not have it with me at the moment.I will simply upload a zip with the source code, everyone else is more than welcome to create a repository and continue to work on it. In that matter, the source for the library that DaRT is using is already released here. We have 3 servers all run on Dart. We want to swap ban lists how do we do this?See above. Yes, I won't argue that putting up a public repository would speed up the bugfixes :) I've used DarT myself a few weeks back and it did suffer from some peculiar and annoying bugs so I do hope the source is published.See above.I totally agree with you guys. Hi, I have been using dart for a year now and i do find it helpfull. I am wondering why the Flags associated with the ip's and GUID of a player go away after awhile and i have completely reinstall Dart to get them back?The flags are received from a public country API and then stored locally.My API key probably got locked by now because of the traffic that DaRT caused which can make the flags stop to appear.

I have to disagree with you on some parts, yes there are some problems with the library you are using but most of the issues you are see is due to poor coding within DaRT. Edit: Also if the library was so bad, why did you not create your own which would have been more stable? Edited December 17, 2013 by cortez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice tool. Shame I don't need an RCon solution at the moment or I would've given it a go. I've not had any trouble banning users with DaRT when I used it but I probably got lucky. I did have some funky connection problems from time to time that had me restart my PC. As far as your goals go, I'm pretty sure DomiStyle had the same vision but sometimes there's only so much time to do things. I'm not impressed by the fact a community manager of BI uses your RCon which you say allows you to get feedback. The 8.1K downloads you mention seem more likely to generate the actual feedback for you. If you're interested in helping out, dive into the source when it's released and tell DomiStyle where you think he went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domistyle 221 Posted December 30, 2013 I don't suppose after you guys get done with your pissing match that someone could try to help me out? I would super appreciate it!

HunterZ84 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Is there a possibillity to get knowledge about certain reasons for the bans on DartBans? For example for this GUID: 0e8294e69d8ed54953917837711fa62a Today I tried your banlist and the player with the GUID was playing on our server. The problem is, that he is a very unsuspicious player. And he told me that he wasn't banned ever on any server and doesn't know why he is banned by DartBans. I unbanned him now till we know more... Thanks a lot,HunterZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
