faldo Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) ...of course it would be considered an integrity vialation and pretty much impossible to implement. It could be optional like you say but would be useless. Most ppl wouldn't advertise a "program" as being AutoIT-based because of the scipts-engine drawbacks and somewhat ease of reverse engineering. Unfortunatly that inhibits the knowlege of how extent it is. However unlikely to happen, i still would consider it cool to have a counter and dots on a map apear every time an autoit script was run. I'm sure AutoIT is used way more than either of us thinks Edited June 25, 2013 by faldo Check out my other scripts: RDP antihammer/blacklist generator | Phemex cryptocurrency exchange API Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Post in another topic if all you want to be is rude then His response was probably a touch rude, but what he was responding to, prior to your massive rewrite, probably warranted it. First you acknowledge that what you wanted this information for was a bit sketchy, then slam the language by saying people wouldn't want others to know it was written in AutoIt because it was slow and what not.Third, you still haven't explained how you knowing what language a program was written in, allows the world to know how many programs written in it are being used? The program itself doesn't advertise this fact, you have to go digging for it in the exe file, so it's not going to spread anything outside of itself.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

faldo Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 hehe, all i said was that it would be cool to know how much ppl actually use AutoIT, if you have a better idea than a "call home"-function, feel free to indulge. Slam the laguage? really? I love AutoIT, couldn't live a day without it but i'm not going to pretend it's flawless, just like many other script languages. Third, it's not about the language itself, it's how it's contained. Knowing how many ppl uses a lower lever language would be a harder task since there are so many compilers and derivatives out there whereas Autoit uses manly one compiler and a very specific signature. Firefox had a website with a map to display from where the browser was downloaded, Android calls home upon activation... If, theoreticly, the AutoIT compiler had a mandatory "call-home" include, the task of mapping AutoIT would be doable. I'm not saying it should be done, i'm not saying it's easy, i'm saying it would be cool, according to my own perception... that's all.
