Since I am using

lunareclipse-plugin + eclipse 3.2 for lua development, I sometimes face the problem (when my pc got switched off too early when trying to hibernate) that eclipse does nothing but crashing when I try to start it.

Log states something like that:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 2 10035 2009-06-30 22:19:06.772
!MESSAGE The workspace exited with unsaved changes in the previous
session; refreshing workspace to recover changes.

... and crashs.

I managed to make it working again, by heading to the workspace directory.

workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources and removing the file

.snap.

Today I want to announce a new release of DJson. The 1.6 is now using a different method to create the cache-file, which allows running multiple djson-scripts (like filterscripts) at the same time.

Also it features a method to define own DJSON_MAX_STRING (before include of djson), if you need really big content.

Head over to the official

DJson page or directly to the djson 1.6 download.

When creating new REST-ful API for GTAT (based upon my pwncurl and a lua backend) I had to implement the method urlencode in pawn.

So I took a look at the specification in RFC 1738 to get information about what characters need to be encoded.

Since I really want to be sure that all is encoded properly and %xx encoding is

If you try to set the CSS-property

background-position in Internet Explorer (I tested with 7) and even use that with Mootools' morph/tween-functions, it will not work.

You can workaround that issue, if you set also background-position-x and background-position-y (actually ignored by my Firefox 3.0).

This is the code, I use at koala to move the background upwards.

$('body').morph({
	'background-position':'0 -140px',
	'background-position-y':'-140px',
});

If you are using pawn (for instance in san andreas multiplayer) and want to rename a file, you'll not find a method like frename.

You can either use my

dutils (pawn only solution) or a plugin (like Yless' YSF) to add frename to your functions.

If you want to make a plain pawn solution, and don't want to use dutils, here is how I made it.

There are two steps.

First you'll need fcopy (copies the file):

ohnd=fopen(oldname,io_read);
nhnd=fopen(newname,io_write);
new buf2[1];
new i;
for (i=flength(ohnd);i>0;i--) {
    fputchar(nhnd, fgetchar(ohnd, buf2[0],false),false);
}
fclose(ohnd);
fclose(nhnd);

And then you'll need to remove the old file.

fremove(oldname);

Remember, that on linux those methods will not work (since fputchar is bugged on linux). You need to use the pawnonly frenametextfile and fcopytextfile from

dutils for that.
