iniDB - Save and Load data to the server or your local computer without databases!

[Tajin 349]

Sorry for bumping up this old topic but, just for the sake of making it easier for the people who google for "iniDB", here is a link to the newer version by code34.:

For a wasteland server, it seems that a MySQL database makes more sense.

have you as a project to do on linux?

okay so im trying to make an variable called Cash save over restart and shit with inidb and this is what im trying to do

[GetPlayerUID player,"RPP_Cash",Cash, "SCALAR"] call inidb_read; //this one is reading the Cash var but it wont read it and set it to what i had before the restart happend :(


[GetPlayerUID player,"RPP_Cash", "Cash", Cash] call iniDB_write; //this is what i use for writing it to the db stuff, and this one works just fine

So.. something like this?

_player = getAssignedCuratorUnit _x;
		if (_x == _player) then {} else {
			_name = name _x;
			_name_money = _name + "_money";
			_pub_name_money = str (_name_money); 
			_Profile = format["%1", getPlayerUID _x]; 
			_name_UID = _name + "_" + _Profile;
			_money = missionNamespace getVariable _pub_name_money;
			_exist = _name_UID call iniDB_exists;
			if (isNil {_money}) then {
				if (_exist) then { _money = [_name_UID, _Profile, "Money", "SCALAR"] call iniDB_read;} else {
					_money = 100;
				};
				[_name_UID, _Profile, "Name", _name] call iniDB_write;
				[_name_UID, _Profile, "Money", _money] call iniDB_write;
				_clientID = owner _x;

Your much better off with mysql its alot easier to work with..

or use our prebuilt system.. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27734 its not updated practically but yeah... it works see if you can detangle our mess of hell

Is there a tut for setting a custom load out for my Admins after they die and respawn? I want to be able to give them extra gear as they spend most of their time putting out player fires than playing and need to reward them for the efforts... I am using the inidb persistent data base, and wondered if there was a way to call a subscript when a player is killed and respawns. I think it would be like this:

on player spawn

Check player guid

if statement GUID is in list

load guid xxx.ini(player loadout)

else if,

load standard loadout

I am guessing that there would be a ton more to this, but I am just trying to get the idea across.

The other option is to go to a MySQL, but I am running my own dedicated box and don't know how to move it over to a MySQL service...

Thanks for the help...

Matt!

OK, I admit I'm a noob with sqf files and coding and I know I'm probably missing something right in front of my face.

I am running a dedicated ArmA 3 server and running the mission "Hired Guns" which needs inidb to save player progress. However, I am running into a problem where player progress and loadout are not being restored after reconnecting or restarting the server.

I followed the mod instructions in Steam Workshop for "Hired Guns"

And followed the very brief instructions for inidb from this forum.

When I'm connected to the server I can see my loadout being written the [pid].ini file and any mission progress being written to "missioninprogress.ini".

Any time I reconnect to server or restart the server my player progress is wiped clean.

I really appreciate any feedback.

This works great! However it strips the player of weapons and clothing items on first login. is that by design or have I gone horribly wrong somewhere

The entry goes on, but no reading, after the release of the remains of the corpse? :(

[Crielaard 435]

Im quiet OK i scripting but just dont have the time at the moment.

Is there a mission somewhere that uses this for Ace3 compatible player persistence?

[Misha321 0]

So i have a BMR server with TADST and im trying to use IniDB to save my server once i shut down my pc overnight and its not working.Could someone tell me what to do inorder for it to work.

[ufopilot 5]

With the release of the x64 executable for ArmA 3, do we need an update for the IniDB aswell?

Paste your code here.

Note in should only be the server compiling the inidb for example in init.sqf.

if (isServer) then {
	call compile preProcessFile "\iniDB\init.sqf";
};

The Client shouldn't have @iniDB nor should it call compile it.

Usage as per stated here:
