Activating skins via mybb forum

[JackZhidkov 10]

I run a mybb forum. Ive seen on a DayZ forum that someone managed to figure out how to activate skins in game via their website.

How exactly would I go about doing this to not only my OA server but my DayZ server? I assume theyd both be pretty much the same.

Im running Mybb 1.6.x if that means anything.

Well, Dayz servers run mysql right or a sql database, so you'd have to build something that inserts new info in the database I'm guessing.

Well, Dayz servers run mysql right or a sql database, so you'd have to build something that inserts new info in the database I'm guessing.

Exactly, the easiest way would be inserting or editing a record in your mysql-database which your gameserver uses to load the data.

You have to set up a script in your gameserver which runs periodically and checks your database for these changes - the rest is some scripting to execute the appropriate commands.

If you're running your gameserver in the same physical space (Root- or VServer) like your Webserver, you could even use some small middleware and a DLL to use "callExtension" ingame - but that could proof to be hard to accomplish if you don't have proper knowledge.

To sum it up:

MyBB -> Request to Database -> ArmA2 reads from Database -> ArmA2 executes script to adapt to request.

But you won't find any help relating to MyBB nor DayZ in these forums here so I'm afraid you have to either get the MyBB-Interface working first and ask your question for ArmA2 or get help in the respective projects' homepages (MyBB.com/dayzmod.com)

How exactly would I get the request to database? Or get Arma 2 to read from database?
