update on todays progress:
more support for HTTP 1.1 requests, including GZIP page requests and Chunked data responses. this allows Bit Che to request the search HTML pages to be gzipped, thus allowing slightly faster searching speeds (because in theory, less data is being downloaded from the web, so the engine can start extracting the results sooner). this is a good thing

[chip!]

update on this todays progress:

the new script engine with easier to understand variables/functions was incorporated. in addition, the engine is faster to process the results. AND, enhancements to the Bit Che debugger were also included.

attached is a screen shot of the debugger with some of the changes pointed out. you will notice big red arrows pointing out sections that have changed.. compare it to the current script debugger and I am sure you will welcome the new changes!

[chip!]

also, here is an example of the new script language in a script file:

Code: [Select]

[script]
name=KickAssTorrents.com
source=KickAssTorrents
home=http://kickasstorrents.com/
author=CuF
modified=chip! 3/14/2011
main=http://www.kickasstorrents.com/torrents/search/?q=%SEARCH%

[code]
x=findh(x,d,>seed<,</tr,>)
x=+(1)
z=find(x,d,</table>)
d=crop(d,x,z)
d=replace(d,</strong>,)
d=replace(d,<strong class="red">,)
d=replace(d,</td>,[-bc-]</td>)
d=vacuum(d)
r=split(d,</tr>)

start
q=split(r,</td>)
t=array(q,0)
z=find(z,t,title="Download,href=)
$torrent=xsave(t,z,",")
z=find(z,t,"torrentname",href=)
$page=xsave(t,z,",",http://www.kickasstorrents.com)
z=find(z,t,href=)
$name=xsave(t,z,>,</)
t=array(q,1)
z=find(1,t,")
$size=xsave(t,z,>,[-bc-])
t=array(q,4)
$seeds=xsave(t,1,>,[-bc-])
t=array(q,5)
$leeches=xsave(t,1,>,[-bc-])
aloop
[/'code][/code]

Still haven't replaced the [ code][ /code] I See

The new variables may help get new coders.

Like the new Modified tag

should we rename [ code][ /code] ? I am open to suggestions.  Keep in mind, at some point, there will be 2nd or maybe 3rd 'code' sections in a single script file

[Bovski]

Yes use something that isn't a BBCode or HTML

Perhaps use something more appropriate then
replace [ code] with [Divide&Conquer]
replace start with [/Divide&Conquer] [MainLoop]
Replace aloop [ /code] with [/MainLoop]

Though would be nice to have some looping if needed, procedures may be nice instead of a second and third code section.

update on todays progress:
script debugger enhanced, now you can step through as many results as you would like, and it will display which result you are on in the debugger.
also, added a new button "locate" that appears after a "find" function is called. the locate button will highlight, in the correct variable, the result of the 'find' function. see screen shot.

[chip!]

update:
fixed annoying Script Debugger bug (thanks CuF!)
further minor improvements to Script Debugger: faster response, and better display of r(array)

[chip!]

update:
confirmed bug with HTTP 301/302 redirect responses

this has been fixed in build 62+

[Exoskeletor]

user ranking system on torrent sites (and ability to sort the ersults with the rankings)?

Bit Che 1.0 build 62 -- BETA TEST / SCRIPT DEVS ONLY

this is a maintenance and work in progress release, meant only for those who are helping contribute feedback towards the development of Bit Che.

whats new since build 60?
1) Support for downloading .torrents that are GZIP compressed  (fixes Kickasstorrents.com / etc)   *implemented and working:  4/7/2011
2) New script engine language, easier to understand variables / functions  *implemented and working: 4/15/2011
2a) Script Debugger enhancements, many new features! *Some debugger enhancements completed  4/19/2011
5) Numerous bug fixes: improving site/script compatibility *HTTP 1.1 headers problem solved, gzip requests/chunked responses support.

instructions:

extract the .exe & .dll into your Bit Che 1.0 build 60 installation directory
extract the kickasstorrents.ini into your scripts directory

note:  right now, only the supplied kickasstorrents.ini will work with the new script engine. i have 95% of the other scripts converted, but for now, we only need 1 working script to test the new debugger and other features.

NOTE #2:  downloading and saving of the torrents on kickasstorrents will NOT work yet. this is because a new version of "x.exe" has not been supplied yet (again, this is a limited beta/dev test only). BUT you can test that the downloading of torrents works by "View Torrent Details".


this beta release is dedicated to the Navy SEAL Team 6

[chip!]

Same instructions as above.

Changes in build 63:

1. All remaining functions can now save: (&, put, mid, crop, vacuum, scrub)

2. Using any function to save to a $torrent variable will automatically call scrub and will trim leading&trailing spaces

3. Debug clears the $torrent variables for the next loop AND clears the @q array

4. Array function can now handle Number or Variable, allowing greater flexibility, such as:
k=put(4)
$seeds=array(@q,k)
k=+(1)
$leeches=array(@q,k)

5. Any function that expects parameter variable that has to be numeric can now accept either a variable containing a number or a number itself, such as:
$page=extract(t,z,",",http://www.kat.ph)
or
$page=extract(t,1,",",http://www.kat.ph)

and

z=find(1,t,title="Download,href=)
or
z=find(z,t,title="Download,href=)

6. Other minor changes to the script engine.
