Auto update IP in config.lua

[olav1ar]

Save as filename get-ip.js

var request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
var notyetready = 1;
request.onreadystatechange=function(){
    if(request.readyState==4)  
	{
        notyetready = 0;

	fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
	f = fs.GetFile("config.lua");
	newfile = fs.CreateTextFile("new.txt", true);

	// Open the file 
	is = f.OpenAsTextStream( 1, 0 );

	while( !is.AtEndOfStream )
	{   
		look_1 = -1;
		rline = is.ReadLine();  
		look_1 = rline.indexOf("ip = \"")
		if (look_1 == 0)
		{
			newfile.writeLine("ip = \"" + request.responseText + "\"");
		}
		else
		{
			newfile.writeLine(rline);	
		}
	}


	newfile.close();
	is.close();
	f.Delete();
	fs.moveFile("new.txt", "config.lua");

    }
}
request.open( "GET", "http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp", true );
request.send(null);
while( notyetready )
{
    WScript.Sleep( 100 );
}

Before u use this script i make sure u have a copy of the config.lua file.
It should work on all open tibia servers.

Place the "get-ip.js" in same folder as config.lua.
Add "get-ip.js" in your restarter and u always have updated global IP in the config.lua file.



a restarter may look like this :

File : Restarter.BAT

echo off
title Evolutions Server
cls
:controllerini
get-ip.js
Evolutions-XML.exe
echo :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
echo ::  Your Server crashed, the restarter is restarting your Server.            ::
echo :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
goto :controllerini

i was wanting this urgently a few months ago . but when i switched to tfs. you can just put the domain in the ip area

 

[Devhir]

think this will work on tfs?

of curse it works on tfs,
The script looking for string 'ip = "' in config.lua and replace the line with your global ip.

This is an awesome idea for any dynamic ip hosters.

If you pay a domain you can get the domain to find your new ip, and update the domain to the new ip automatic.
