Improvements?

[moloch--]

We clearly think alike;

1. The newlines are automatically inserted into the box description for you already, so add as much content as you want :)
   https://github.com/moloch--/RootTheBox/blob/master/models/Box.py#L113

2. It's currently hardcoded, each flag looses 10% (using integer math) of it's value when captured
   https://github.com/moloch--/RootTheBox/blob/master/handlers/MissionsHandler.py#L96

but I like the idea of making it configurable.

3. Yes I should prbly add that haha (working on this now)

4) I dont know if you didnt added this options in admin configuration zone but I think it would be great to have them:

public_teams
max_team_size
restrict_registration
use_black_market
use_bots
whitelist_box_ips

I went ahead and changed the box descriptions to use <textarea /> instead of <input type="text" /> to make it easier to put in a lot of text; the other updates will take a little more time, hehe.

1) But if I want to put the following text:

............................................
This server was compromised, use this information:
Malware: citadel
Timestamp: 12-12-2012 09:09 UTC
Report from: ISP
............................................

How can I put this text in there with new lines like you are seeing...

2) Yes yes, but what I tried to say is if Team X submit a flag and is wrong, when that team will try again and the flag now is correct, the team will not receive all the points from the flag because they tried 2 times...
Did you get my point? :S

3) Coool! In 2 hours, a lot of excellent improvements in this system...amazing!

"I went ahead and changed the box descriptions to use <textarea /> instead of to"

Great!!! I will check it ;)

Sorry if im not helping you coding...but Im not familiar with all the code...may be tommorrow. ;)

[moloch--]

Yes excellent point on (2 we actually had an issue with this the last time we did a CTF. It's a little trickery code-wise because you have to maintain Flag states for each team, but shouldn't be too hard to implement.

[SYNchroACK]

yes...i saw in 'handlers/MissionsHandler.py' def attempt_capture...... you will probably need to change some core functionalities because of this...yeah :( But im sure that it will be a great functionality

[moloch--]

For now with the formatting the descriptions you have to insert spaces " " to get the line breaks where you want them (each line is 70 chars), I can add an option later along the lines of "Autoformat" yes/no.

[SYNchroACK]

"For now with the formatting the descriptions you have to insert spac....." but, why you have the line:
https://github.com/moloch--/RootTheBox/blob/master/models/Box.py#L123

Of course, that options also is great but I would like to understand the reason. (learning purpose :D)

btw, I change in my installation just for testing:

  text = self._description

And it works fine....

I've added much of this to version 0.4 (see "devel" branch), hoping to have it ready sometime this weekend but it's not quite stable yet.

[SYNchroACK]

I would be glad!!! :)
I'm preparing a CTF in 5-7 February and of course :D I will use this amazing tool... so... I would like to use that new version :) may be test the version in this weekend (or begining of the next week) to be sure about all features ;)

[moloch--]

Almost everything is in v0.4, still got a few loose ends to tie up

[snake-poison]

What is still left to implement to close out this issue?

[SYNchroACK]

Hello :)

Nothing, I think Its ok. :)

[moloch--]

I've been meaning to implement a custom "step," so when a flag is captured its value goes down by n% almost everything else is in there

[snake-poison]

What do we have left? :)

Ps. I know you'd like to support, Python 3.x code based on issue #35 but I'd like to continue working on making the project more stable and refactoring code before that.

[moloch--]

Yea, the Py3 support was basically just experimental to only real issue with supporting Py3 is that pylibmc doesn't (and I don't plan to write my own memached client, heh). So Py3 is more of a long-term goal, and I wouldn't consider it to be a high priority at the moment.
