samp-precise-timers ⌚

Briefly
Developed for net4game.com (RolePlay), this plugin provides precise timers for the server. It is written in Rust, a memory-safe language.

Why rewrite timers?
I had a lot of safety concerns with some of the existing solutions. They weren't written with data integrity, memory safety or preventing server crashes in mind and seemed to have quite a few bugs. As privacy and safety is our primary concern at net4game, I wrote this in Rust, which combines high-level ergonomics with the performance of a low-level language. ⚡

Please check out the code to see the benefits. You might like Rust a lot. The code is much simpler than C++ equivalents, especially the ones which still use *char, free() and delete[] instead of modern C++ idioms such as std::unique_ptr, but as Rust has no runtime, there is no overhead 😉

We would like your help! 💃
Oh, and if you enjoy working on servers, we are looking for a team to help our international expansion. 🎉  net4game has been around for a decade as the biggest Polish server. We introduced a lot of innovations over the years and we are almost ready to become international. Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] if you're interested.

On top of all of the above, I would love to help with developing open.mp!

Finally made it over here, huh? :D

Nice work, especially since it's written in Rust uwu

Welcome, Misiek. Why not drop by our Discord as well?

Very nice.I'm impressed by how simple the code is compared to other versions.

Great! And you have a mumble server too! I wish I knew Polish :(

I don't know Rust, but the code is self-explanatory by reading the comments, great job!

Nice!

Finally, here’s a great plugin! Nice job 💪

Think I'll try it out.

Great job! ;>

Thanks y'all! Definitely looking for some feedback. 😉

FOSS all the way! Obviously for the international expansion we will need people who speak English, not Polish, so this is not a concern! 👍

There seems to be a problem with the Linux version.



This only happens when loading this plugin and only on Linux.
Other plugins I use and their order is as follows: crashdetect.so mysql.so samp-previse-timers.so sscanf.so streamer.so regex.so
All of them are on their latest versions.

A small benchmark of this plugin.

Might be the most accurate and consistent timer option, even than timerfix. Good job.

Code:

[sampgdk:warning] Native function not found: GetPlayerInterior
[sampgdk:warning] Native function not found: GetPlayerVirtualWorld
[sampgdk:warning] Native function not found: GetPlayerState

Yes this started happening to me since I moved to this plugin, at first I thought that the streamer was causing the problem, but now..
I'm getting:

[sampgdk:warning] Native function not found: DeletePlayer3DTextLabel

For some reason, sometimes the timers are never placed, mostly when it's deleted and replaced.

True, haven't got time to figure it out so I switched back to settimer. But after some time it started wierding up and not even starting timers.

Nice Misiak, I appreciate your honest work!
Love from Poland :)))
