BatchExec

xoft · 07-01-2015, 05:19 PM

This plugin allows admins to execute batches of console commands that are read from a file.

Source, download: https://github.com/madmaxoft/BatchExec

Console commands:
- batchexec <filename> - read the specified file, line by line, and execute each line as a console command

Is it possible that this would be expanded? That users could also use this. For example in the Gallery server to set the correct hitbox I currently have to use: "/ge bb show", "//expand 1 walls" and then "//expand -1" while looking away from the door. If I could simplify it by using something like "/batch hb" or "/b hb" it would speed up the process a little Smile

There's a problem of defining the batches, if you want to make that user-configurable, too (instead of reading files, a DB should be used, probably).
I'm quite unlikely to do that, though, but feel free to submit a PR Smile

How about not making it possible to do add batches in-game, but that I make an web-admin interface where admins can add and edit the batch files?

sounds good

Sounds good, but then you'd need to include a storage for the batches (most likely SQLite) with proper sequencing of the commands (one command per record? or one batch per record?)

I had a folder in the BatchExec's folder in mind. I don't really expect admin's to create more than a few of them.

That could be tricky to set up correctly. Anything in the filesystem can be vulnerable to various attacks:

Code:
/batchexec c:\windows\system32\win.ini

/batchexec ../../../settings.ini

/batchexec .\../..\../settings.ini

That could be fixed by something like this + (Path):match("^%w:\\")

That code is wrong, these paths will get through it:

Code:
../../.././settings.ini

\\server\share\settings.ini

This just shows how difficult it is to secure things properly Tongue

So it might just be a better idea to actually use sqlite Smile
