I noticed the upload system of Omnimaga have started being very glitchy lately. When I tried to upload a gif file once, it took me at least 4 tries until it accepts it and idk why.

Idk, this might be, but usually I just get an error saying the file has invalid format. Seems this started happening on the last SMF update

Some work done...
I got the Z80 Code Counter working fully and friendly.

The online assembler (front-end) is almost done.
The remaining issues are modifications to Linux shell, implement the timeout for spasm in Linux and Windows and get a host. My free host seems to prohibit any command to shell although it is not in safe mode.

If someone could nicely provide a capable host would be awesome. (Windows or Linux and not sure about PHP version)


I changed some texts and added a check to PHP version on the Hex Disassembler. I will release the changes.

Mhmm nice, I'll try to see about hosting, I could maybe set you a FTP folder and PM you the username and password so you can update. IIRC, my hosting uses a PHP5 version of PHP but displays as PHP4 because it has both 4 and 5 installed at once

That would be cool. But to work I need the PHP not running in safe mode, know the Server OS and architecture to build SPASM to run on it and sufficient privileges to do calls in the shell via PHP.
I will only try the Online Assembler once all works 100% under my computer on Windows and Linux (Linux is going to take time as always to install anything :S)

I am thinking in support upload of zip files to avoid uploading multiple files. To that I found two alternatives:
- install a PHP extension
- run a command line program to unzip
I am going for the second option and use 7-zip command line version available in Windows and also ported to Linux. I will try this after the important part is done.

This is getting complex and maybe I should do some scripts (.php and/or .sh) to install the Online Assembler on any server. The script should also check if everything is OK to work...

Oh I better copy this info to the Readme. xD

mhmm this seems complicated , you might want to PM me for FTP access, so I'll create you an account. Maybe you can put scripts there to check the version and stuff, or just to see if it works. I know I am not in safe mode, though. You would just need to be careful to not accidentally run a buggy script crashing the server lol

Believe it is complicated for me, too. PHP language has some power of C...
The worst thing that can happen is multiple spasm processes running forever... Because spasm in certain usages (macros that loop forever or maybe rare bugs) will never exit. eh I need to test the kill processes routines I found...

I will PM you when I have this tested under Linux and it going to take a while...

I found some PHP functions that will let me control SPASM execution...

Now it is question to implement. It will work wonderfully if all goes right.

Yeah I am planning to contact SMF if it happens too often. Other idea I have: whenever someone have it happenand can't upload the file he wants, he could report the problem directly to SMF forum since more people reporting it is more powerful than just one people reporting it
