Linux [KAG Classic] Juxta++ - Advanced Server Modding for Classic

Lots of new scripting features and fixes!
Changelog for 1.0.3
[lua][added] new functions: KAG.GetPlayersCount() and KAG.GetPlayerByIndex(), useful for iterating through every players
[lua][added] new functions to get/set custom variables for players: Player:SetNumber(), Player:SetBoolean(), Player:SetString(), Player:SetTable(), Player:GetNumber(), Player:GetBoolean(), Player:GetString(), Player:GetTable()
[lua][added] new event: OnPlayerInit, called when the player object is initialized (either when he connects to the server, or when the plugin is reloaded). If you want to declare some player variables you should use this event instead of OnPlayerConnect or OnPlayerJoin
[lua][added] external libraries support (more infos on http://juxta.cf/tutorials/#using-libraries)
[lua][added] new default libraries: MathUtils, StringUtils, TableUtils, and database storage (see http://juxta.cf/tutorials/#using-libraries)
[lua][added] new function: Juxta.GetVersion(), returns the version of juxta++ (as a single number, eg: 4)
[lua][added] new function: Player:IsPlaying(), returns true if the player has joined the game and we know his character name
[lua][added] new functions: Plugin.GetName(), Plugin.GetPath()
[lib][added] new config variable: enable_lua_sandbox (default: true). Disabling it allows the use of risky functions that could possibly execute malicious code on your machine
[lib][modified] Lua PANIC errors will print a warning in the console instead of crashing the server
[lib][fixed] Booleans were passed as Numbers
[lib][fixed] OnInit was called twice for every plugins
[lib][fixed] CreateRoomCommand was not bound properly

 

You can use the KAG.SetScore(x) function, but there's probably a better way to fix this, not sure how though.

 

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since the last update of Juxta++, but we kept adding new features to it, such as:

• Blob functions and events (OnBlobHit, OnBlobDie, OnBlobMount, OnBlobUnMount, GetBlobByID, GetBlobByIndex, GetBlobsCount, Blob.GetFactoryName, Blob.GetConfigFileName, Blob.GetID, Blob.GetX, Blob.GetY, Blob.GetTeam, Blob.GetType, Blob.GetHealth, Blob.SetHealth, Blob.GetPlayer, Blob.Kill)
• New player functions, such as Get/SetClass, Get/SetSex, Get/SetHead, Get/SetSpecialColor, MountPlayer, MountBlob, ...
• New events/functions, such as OnPlayerDrop, OnPlayerChangeClass, OnRoomBuild, Player.IsKeyDown, Player.WasKeyPressed
• Lots of fixes for old functions
• Much more!

Also, 10 months after the first release, we're finally releasing the source code of Juxta++! (thanks to THD staff)
You can browse it here: https://github.com/master4523/juxtapp
The code is messy and needs some refactoring but we're accepting pull requests :)

 

Unfortunately it'll probably never happen, at least not from me.
The way all this works really depends on Linux' own behavior, and also because the binaries of the Linux version of KAG server were compiled with debug flag, which helps a lot with reverse engineering.

Bottom line, it wouldn't be a simple port, it'd require a complete rewrite of the code instead.
However, anyone's free to do it since the project is now opensource.

You could also run your server inside a Linux virtual machine on your PC (instructions here), or even set up a dual boot (instructions here), although I would recommend the first one because it's a lot easier.
