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

[code34 248]

if you check the ini file, it s certainly a key problem

[wesley32 4]

What's a keyproblem? Everything in the ini file seems normal. Saving works the way it's supposed to.

[code34 248]

hi

copy paste your read call, like this :)

["myDatabaseFile", "sectionname", name player, "STRING"] call iniDB_read;

When new version will be published? I see in changelog in GitHub that it exists.

[code34 248]

hi :-)

i have to check about it since severals months. From my memory no major features :-)

i will try to release it before the end of year.

[Schatten 284]

Thx. I'll wait with impatience. )

[code34 248]

hi guy,

I have re-read the whole code on repositorie, and it is not necessary to update the code.

The various update did not bring new major features and will caused as side effects big changes in user code. As it's not interresting, this is probably, the reason why i not release it a few months ago.

The 1.4 version is the stable reference release. Sorry to not give you more, but it s a basic write/read mechanism.

I there a limit to using this , i.e when should we think about moving to a DB - or is this just as quick ?

[Schatten 284]

It depends on what should be saved. I use this extension to save player's inventory and position, objects, etc. IniDBi works fine.

[gippo 38]

So what's up with saving arrays?

in 1.0 arrays saved, in 1.4, they are missing.

I try to save like this:

["myDatabaseFile", _playerUID, "moneyArray", [_money, _servertime, _side]] call iniDB_write;

The local variables are defined ofc. Tried to save the array in one variable then insert that, same problem...

Or am I missing something?

[code34 248]

hi, yes you can save arrays, sting, and scalar.

Check your logs, you perhpas insert into your arrays object or others thing than can not be save.

[gippo 38]

I don't know what's happening, 1.0 functions works fine, except from a moneyArray="[500000,245.764,GUER]" entry can't read out GUER (it's saved though), but can read EAST or WEST.

Is it a bug in the first version? I tried to use 1.4, but still can't save arrays.

tried these methods:

["myDatabaseFile", _playerUID, "moneyArray", [_money, _servertime, _side]] call iniDB_write;
["myDatabaseFile", _playerUID, "moneyArray", _moneyArray] call iniDB_write;

_money and _servertime is number, _side is a string.

In the second one:

_moneyarray: _moneyArray = [_this select 1, _this select 2, _this select 3]; which is (should be) the same as [_money, _servertime, _side]

both giving the error:

"IniDBI: write failed, 76561197983934018 moneyArray data contains object should be ARRAY, SCALAR, STRING type"

Am I screwing something up?

[t-800a 151]

Maybe you _side is the problem? Does it refer to player side? Then you will need to convert it to a string first.

[gippo 38]

Damn, never thought of that. Will try it asap.

edit: Solved it... Thanks man! As a "weekend scripter" I do miss these things :)

Worked well on hosted... but i can't manage to make it work on dedicated.

Windows 7 64

Latest VCRedist.exe

@inidbi installed on A3 root

Launch parameters: "myPathTo\arma3server.exe" -port=2302 -config=serverIniDB.cfg -mod=@inidbi;

Launched mission: test_mission.altis

Call: call compile preProcessFile "\inidbi\init.sqf";

Always the same message: Script inidbi\init.sqf not found

What's the problem ?

Hi :)

most of time it comes from:

- missing microsoft libraries vc++

- file permissions on dll

Hi code34,

i just reinstalled the lastest vcredist_x86.exe (and x64 but normally not needed) from http://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=40784

and the user who launch the arma3server.exe have full permissions on the iniDB.dll

I'm so disappointed. :(

[code34 248]

try to check directory permissions, and mod=@.. line :)

if you have

Always the same message: Script inidbi\init.sqf not found

it s the addon pbo that is not load properly (not the dll)

[xoo 10]

i have granted full rights on: \@inidbi, \@inidbi\db, \@inidbiiniDB.dll, \@inidbi\Addons, \@inidbi\Addonsinidbi.pbo for the user who launch the arma3server.exe

Launch parameters tried:

"myPathTo\arma3server.exe" -port=2302 -config=serverIniDB.cfg -mod=@inidbi;

"myPathTo\arma3server.exe" -port=2302 -config=serverIniDB.cfg -mod=@inidbi

"myPathTo\arma3server.exe" -port=2302 -config=serverIniDB.cfg "-mod=@inidbi"

Always the same error message... i dunno what to try now !?

[code34 248]

sorry i don't see :( certainly a missconfiguration at some place.

[Azza FHI 50]
