[Custom CMS] What is required in it? [Boon PlusEMU-ish]

[Evilsmoothie]

Yo! So two weeks ago I asked about pretty much the same thing, although more specific to the SSO ticket. I'm just curious as to what is required in a CMS to have it run with for example Plus.

I have an SSO ticket that is being updated every time the client is refreshed and bla bla. My client setup is the exact same for Rev, only difference is that I'm actually checked in instead of being sent to the gordon folder without an emu error. This only happens when the port is the same as in the client and the emu config.

I can't for the life of me figure out what Rev has that I don't that could possibly make a difference.

Edit: I'm using OOP and PDO if that could make a difference.

To hell with the rules. Bump....

Hey, for some people the rules are there for to be broken yeah. :P I like your attitude! First you need to make sure that you use the emulators database and then work from that to the cms structures. You need to generate everytime a new SSO ticket, yes and when the emulator authenticate you then your sso ticket gets nulled. And the most important is reading errors and find a way to handle them!

1. When my thread is on the second page: yes. absolutely. I'm above the law that way, and so would you be in this case.
2. My attitude is usually better, but we're not here to talk about that.
3. My cms was built around the database so no issues here.
4. I generate a new SSO ticket every time the client is refreshed by the user. And yes it updates.
5. The emulator doesnt do anything. When the port is the same in the client and the config it loads to 76% and sends me to the gordon folder for some reason. I've seen people have this issue with UberCMS and edits of it. No solution though. Edit: when the port is different it loads as usual end sends you to the normal error page. The client page is the same as I got running on Rev.
6. No errors logged anywhere. Thats the problem.

Edit: all this I already said in my first post.
Edit 2 or 3 idk: The emulator appears not to authenticate the SSO then.. Any idea why when the ticket is generated the same way rev's is? Does there have to be a delay between generating and the client starting to load?

Maybe OFT and ONT at the same time:


The IPs doesn't always show in "ip_last and ip_reg"
They goes blank

My IP logging works fine. :P

Regarding my overall issue: Realised that the SSO in the client and the db wasn't the same which caused the issue. Got it fixed. Now, however, the emulator says that you have logged in (updates online count) but you're still stuck on the loading screen loading on 76% over and over. Now I'm clueless. Nothing logged anywhere.

Well now i can see that the :mip ban isn't the best, a friend of mine that is a retard got mip banned and he can still login. Dont know why.
I've restarted the emu many times, sometimes he use another PC, but he have been to annoying tbh. Well i've done "update bans" after i've mip banned someone all the time from now on, and sometimes it work, but i've seen in the database that the "machine_id" is blank on some users even after they've loged in to the client. Any fixes for this?
Maybe some help with that?

Users table is missing some things most likely.

Doesn't make sense. The only thing different between my rev setup and my custom setup is the php files. Links to game folders are all the same, database is the same, and client is the same. Edit: and my rev setup works.

In that case it's probably your flashvars. Here are mine:

	 var flashvars = {
	            "client.allow.cross.domain" : "1", 
	            "client.notify.cross.domain" : "0",
	            "connection.info.host" : "{$connection_info_host}",
				"connection.info.port" : "{$connection_info_port}",
	            "site.url" : "{$www}", 
	            "url.prefix" : "{$www}", 
	            "client.reload.url" : "{$www}/client", 
	            "client.fatal.error.url" : "{$www}/flash_client_error", 
	            "client.connection.failed.url" : "{$www}/flash_client_error", 
	            "external.variables.txt" : "{$variables}", 
	            "external.texts.txt" : "{$texts}",
	            "productdata.load.url" : "{$productdata}", 
	            "furnidata.load.url" : "{$furnidata}", 
	            "use.sso.ticket" : "1", 
	            "processlog.enabled" : "1",
	            "account_id" : "19927505",
	            "client.starting" : "{$loadingtext}",
	            "flash.client.url" : "{$baseurl}",
				"sso.ticket" : "{$sso}",
	            "user.hash" : "199275052dbf5f89adb0a643bf16b0ea1cd646db", 
	            "flash.client.origin" : "popup",
				"client.starting.revolving" : "Loading Moar Minkles into the machine/Checking if Alanis is in her prime/Checking if Falcao is at his peak/Stealing candy from the closest baby/Banning Bren from your webcam/Making sure we are on the right page/Using the bathroom real quick/Getting a can of Soda",
	    };

Made no difference, sadly. The emulator isn't supposed to output a message when someone logs in?

It only outputs a message if you have it enabled in the config file AFAIK. Are you using the default boon emu db released in the official thread?

Yes I am.

[Jonteh]

Yes I am.

No idea then. Sorry dood.

[Evilsmoothie]

No idea then. Sorry dood.

Dang. Well - screw this then. It makes no sense. Absolutely zero sense. I'll just have to use rev for now while I redo my project. Learnt alot about do's and don'ts so it wasn't all a waste of fucking time Thanks for trying atleast!

[Evilsmoothie]

UPDATE! I've finally solved this bullshit. In 2013 @tweeney wrote a reply to an issue with input string. He wrote

Wroooonnnggggg.
One of the values in your users table (I imagine it's the last online timestsmp or the account created timestamp). Make sure they are just numbers and no letters.

Turns out, my account created wasn't a timestamp, but it was the actual date - hence it fucked up. Just thought I'd add this here in case others do the same stupid thing.
