How to mod Transmission? (No Report)

**gendel11** · 20.02.15, 11:20

Hey,

I'm on Mac, I'm using http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthre...threadid=21394 but this version is old and very buggy (lots of memory leaks) so I'd like to mod the last version of Transmission (2.84) to have the "No Report" mod like in the link above.

Anyone can explain me how to do this?

Thanks

Why don't you just use this http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthre...e=2#post319261 ?

It has a report 0% leacher option and there's some instructions on how to get it up and running on a mac in the first post.

I don't understand anything to those instructions...

I'd really like to learn how to do it so that when there will be major updates to Transmission (like 3.0) I'll still be able to have at the same time an updated version of Transmission as well as a modded version.

Well if you click on the link that was given in the first post under the mac instructions, you get some very in-depth instructions on how to compile a modded source....

for a successful mod you need to have at least basic programming skills and you need in-depth knowledge of how torrents work. as soon as you have both it's obvious what to do and why

Even if all I want to do is add a simple No Report Leecher?

I found this in a post and it doesn't seems that complicated...

Code:

....
    else if(cheatMode == TR_CHEAT_ALWLEECH) // always leecher
    {
        *up       = 0;
        *down     = 0;
        *corrupt  = 0;
        *left     = tr_torrentInfo( tier->tor )->totalSize;
        if( *event == TR_ANNOUNCE_EVENT_COMPLETED )
        {
            *event = TR_ANNOUNCE_EVENT_NONE;
        }
    }
....

static tr_announce_request *
announce_request_new( const tr_announcer  * announcer,
                      const tr_torrent    * tor,
                      const tr_tier       * tier,
                      tr_announce_event     event )

....

    letsCheat( tier, &req->up, &req->down, &req->corrupt, &req->left, &event );

....

that's the wrong approach. a source modification requires that you understand what you're doing. no matter what the desired effect is.

no problem then, if you understand this why asking?

What programming language is good for modding clients and ratio tools and could you suggest some sources where I could learn in depth how torrents work as I would also like to be a coder and contribute to the community in the future .Thanks in advance

the language is of course dictated by your target program. for learning more about the torrent mechanics you could have a look at the torrent specifications, disect announces and last but not least check the many good threads we have here
