Title: MTA Serial Searcher
Post by: Malekith on May 07, 2017, 02:40:13 PM
Hey all. First of all I have to say that I'm pretty inactive, so the projects that I'm currently developing are stopped until July aprox. Btw, I want to share this idea here, to hear all comments and suggestions. All of you knew my Serial Searcher, tool developed for Windows to search an user by his serial and receive the nicknames. That's an useful tool for clans to accept or reject new people (for example fake users that were kicked in the past and are trying to join again).

I've been thinking on a new searcher with two databases, one with a complete list of all nicks, and another with unique nick (most common nick), country, and more info about that player. That info will be only accesible if you know his serial (only for server admins). Also, I've been thinking to make that public, to get a bigger database, so all of you win (SiK data + SGA data + GTA.Ru data + FFS data + IDC data, etc) ofc if all admins accept that. If they don't accept to share that info, access to that data will be only accesible for the clans that shared their data (it's just a text parsed with the nicknames and serial of all the people joined to the server).

I have data for the database, but I will not use that data without consent and also I think it's not fair that other clans benefit with the solidarity of others. I know that other clans or people is just opening the accounts database of their server and searching manually for the user, but that doesn't work with users not registered on that server, new users, etc and it's clearly slower.

I'm planning to do accesible via web, to make easier without updates.

Share your thoughts there and comment! Thanks.

Sounds like a big improvement over the previous version.

Thanks for the dedication man :)

I have nothing to add though.

Thank you man! I will keep you informed about the news of this project, also I have to continue the programming of that lua script for servers, that will be nice to manage altogether

This tool has really slow updates, because I'm working atm and I don't have so much free time, but I'll explain the new updates:

Client:

Now it's more simple. You can search the serial and you'll see the result on a new window. Also you'll see the logs of the latest search on the right (a preview of the logs, more info will be saved, like the country, and other nicknames). That will have an option to check serial and other nicknames from the current online users (on 'check from server')

Now, the application will not need manual updates of the database. Each one will have his own database. My application will have a server and a client. You, for example, can download the serial server and upload to your mta server host. My server will access to the serial, ips and all the info that you need to know and will show you on the client. To see that info, you will need to know the hash (like a password) of the server, that will be known only by admins (and they can give the hash to anyone). That hash can be changed with one click at any moment :) so no prob.


Idk when will be the first beta of the app, but I think will be soon. Also, that model of application will let me to do some mobile app to work with too. Greets!

Awesome man, interfacing directly with the server, a big improvement imo.

Thanks for the update, even if it takes a bit :P

The interface looks pretty clean.

Thank you all guys. I come here to say that I continue the work. I've done almost all the part of network connect (the application and the server currently have connection) and the client part. Just I have to finish the server part and most sure in less than 1 month we'll have the first BETA version to test :)

All that you need to run this program is having Java 8 installed on the server (where do you host the MTA server). That's all!
