[Include] Ip Locator Adds Callback OnRetrieveIpLocation(playerid, country[], city[])

[iggy1]

Ip Locator 1.1

What does it do?

Quite simple, it adds a callback that gets called just after a player connects. The players country and city are sent to a the callback as two strings. The data is retrieved from this site http://www.hostip.info/

When a player connects a HTTP get request is sent with the players ip to the site above, when the site responds OnRetrieveIpLocation will be called. (after everything in OnPlayerConnect)


Example FS

#define FILTERSCRIPT

#include <a_samp>
#include <iploc>

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    return 1;
}

public OnRetrieveIpLocation(playerid, country[])
{

    new
        szStr[ 64 ];

    GetPlayerName( playerid, szStr, MAX_PLAYER_NAME );

    format( szStr, sizeof( szStr ), "<SERVER> Welcome %s to the server. From %s", szStr, country );

    SendClientMessageToAll( -1, szStr );

}

public OnPlayerConnect( playerid )
{
    return 1;
}

NOTE: If an ip isn't stored on that site it's country will be "Private country" (this happens with localhost too). I could also add lat/lon but i thought that would be pretty pointless.

If anyone spots any bugs please point them out and ill try fix em.

UPDATE 1.1

• Code re-written much more efficient and should hopefully work on linux.
• Callback no longer has city argument, it was too inaccurate on all free sites i could find.

[Niko_boy]

this is nice and this will be may be more accurate
A Question:
Can i use it to retrieve info customly e.g.
a command /getloc <playerid> and get his ip in command and use it some how ? or it works only in OnPlayerConnect?
i mean if there be stock or something will make this more cool :/
EDIT: i trying it now , but its no working O.o

It returns "private country" if you connect from your localhost. ie if you connect to your home-hosted server. Next update i will get it to display "Local host" in that case.

You could also make that command yourself with the callback provided, just store the country/city in an array, and have a function return it. (or just use the var in the command)

If i added a function to get the players country, people would more than likely use it in OnPlayerConnect and it wouldn't work. I thought a callback would be the simplest way. If there was a way for me to get the HTTP response instantly i would have added more funcs.

Thanks all for positive feedback.

it must say Private COuntry , but it isnt doing so O.o ?
nor it called the Function... OnRetrieveIpLocation
.. i tried to debug where it is CallLocalFunction("onretrieve.. and debug also showed no results .. ?
wtabout that ?

I'll just check it again now, i'm quite sure it was working when i posted it. I will edit this post.

EDIT: It works for me, check your server log for the http response.

#include <a_samp>
#include <iploc>

public OnRetrieveIpLocation(playerid, country[], city[])
{

    printf("playerid %d, joined from country %s, city %s", playerid, country, city);

}

main()
{
    print("\n----------------------------------");
    print("The most blank GM in the world!!!");
    print("----------------------------------\n");
}


public OnGameModeInit()
{
    return 1;
}

server_log:

[17:37:41] playerid 0, joined from country private country, city private address

[Niko_boy]

Nop nothing in there :/
