[WIP] Copy Session

Hit your system copy command on the start screen to put the session id into the system clipboard. If you can find your PA or PA.exe binary in a "command line" or "terminal", pass the session id with --ticket and you will be automatically logged in.

Following OS X only (pull requests welcome)

The entire command line is copied to the clipboard.

(probably linux as well) If you're restarting PA a lot (due to crashes or shader development), the mod includes a restart.sh shell script which can be invoked as follows:

Code:

./restart.sh "<C-V>"

Where <C-V> is your paste command containing a shell command, and the quotes are very important.

You'll need to Ctrl-C to kill the script when you actually want to quit.

A fair bit of prior discussion on the topic of session ids in a different thread: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/wip-steal-my-password.60630/

I had a session expire. Probably from a day or so again when I made the mod, and I used it just a few minutes ago.

Did it still login and only fail on creating games? That's the only issue I had so far for my main account: Login inside of PA seems to work, but creating games instant fails and returns me to the main menu.

No, fail to login and asked for username/password. Didn't write down the exact dialog message.

67249 changes ctrl-C behavior - the game catches it even when running via the script, and then the script immediately restarts it. I had to go to another terminal and kill the restart process. Experimenting with adding a timeout so a double ctrl-C will work.

Expired session:

Code:

UNABLE TO SIGN IN

Error connecting to UberNet: Ticket authorization failure
Client Error -5: Invalid session ticket, please log in again.

OS X copying broken in 67249 because SDL doesn't have a mapping for Command key.

Yeah that expire message is what I got after I added a random x at the end of my semi working session.
I think to get a session it is easier to grab it from within your browser's cookie, really

Work-around: ctrl-dash is triggering copy (PA#3640)
