Best Biller?

[aquarius]

Hi guys,

 

I'm wondering, in your opinion what is the best billing server software available to date?

 

Thanks!

psysops been working on a new biller hit em up

I miss Lord Maucaub's, I asked him several time for a copy of it, he never got back to me. Now lost to all time.

 

Guess that leaves Catid's - I was working on one many years ago but it kept having dead lock issues or something and gave up on it.

 

I thought I heard Snrrrub had one that was pretty good but i don't think he ever released it.

I asked Snrrrub for Isometry last week, no answer. He usually answers. I just asked him again this evening - we'll see. The problem with Isometry, I'm suspecting, is that Snrrrub is usually unwilling to share the source (and that's mandatory in our situation).

Use this one for Windows, It's the official one used for Subspace by Virgin Entertainment too. It can support millions of logins over SQL with backups etc

It doesn't have high CPU Stress / CPU Usage anymore.

 

Plus if you don't use the SQL it's compatible with SSBilling2's dat file's. So all you do is just run a new exe

Can I have the source?

You may connect to SSN

 

Let me know. It's just catid's biller, but it's not bad at all.

I don't have the source to Subbill.exe I patched it with a Hex Editor, I found the location where to patch it by debugging it in OllyDbg.

If this is for ASSS zones and you're familiar with C#, you could adapt my former biller to your needs: http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=8691 (+bitbucket)

Aqua,

 

Someone e-mailed me about Isometry recently asking for binaries. Here is Sharvil's response:

 

I'm not even sure I know where the code is anymore. Besides which, it depends on a pretty large set of libraries that I don't have the right to release.

 

I thought there was an effort to create a new biller. And there are already some open sourced billers out there. Would those be a good place to start?

 

FWIW, writing a biller is insanely easy, especially once the protocol is known. And I've documented that stuff as well as the semantics of Isometry on my site so it should be pretty quick to write something similar.

 

Just some thoughts.

I've talked with Snrrrub, he found the code. He's going to test it out and see if he's still got all the libraries and whatnot.

 

Hakaku, thank you. That actually looks pretty well-written and the dev might like it.

 

If anyone else has/knows anything, let me know. We're looking for the best option.

A biller is probably the simplest bit of ss you can program. Why don't you guys just make one yourselves.

Thanks for finding out what happened to isometry

was trying to get my hands on it as well or at least the code.  But lots of stuff on Sharvil site

 

Custom biller is the best way to go. You can add the stuff you want all the more sweet commands etc.

 

Or just take the open source stuff from cats subiller 2.  It has some decent stuff in it.

 

You can hack out the SS registry stuff or leave it in.  it kinda works with my love of the old SS clients.

 

has anyone gotten any of the other client projects to actually connect and be playable on any of the billers?

 

Fattrolls got any other cool stuff? i'm always looking for more fun SS things
