Hmmm, maybe a sample mission with more details.

e.g. how the client retrieve datas from the server...

I have few scripts I've made with @inidb, I was able to save/load datas (player pos, gear, etc...), but it's not working anymore with @inidbi.

Edit :

It's working fine now :)

I got still an issue with loading datas.

No idea why it's not working with @inidbi, the only line I changed is :

call compile preProcessFile "\inidb\init.sqf";

to

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

the mission is already avalaible on the first page ;)

copy&past your load line here. I will check the syntax

[MikeMuir 9]

Here the whole mission.

http://mikemuir.net/arma3/sample_inidbi.Altis.zip

Basically, save and load gear (and addPublicVariableEventHandler).

Some piece of code is very old (4 or 5 months ago) and crappy, but it's functionnal with @inidb.

I added you Steam ID btw.

[code34 248]

those kind of code is not anymore supported

[_fileName, getPlayerUID player, "_alive",[b] "NUMBER"[/b]] call sendToServer;

you have to replace "NUMBER" by "SCALAR" :)

If I have an Object called FOB1 how would I go about saving all objects near this object say in a 500M radius ?

Sorry very new to this :)

Your sample mission doesn't work.

Undefined Variable ssdebug.

saveloop.sqf line 1.

Undefined Variable statsLoaded

saveloop.sqf, line 1

undefined Variable statsLoaded.

LoadStats.sqf, line 55

undefined variable playerisalive

LoadStats.sqf, line 55

I am executing your mission without modification on a 1.08 Dedicated Server.

Any help would be appriciated.

Hi

I have problem when I load a wasteland on server with inidbi. It finds profile found or not found when I host it from computer as a client. But when I place inidbi on the Server, no such message pops up. Does the server need to have something installed on it in order to read. idk

Thank you :)

[code34 248]

you have to check trhough properties windows menu , the dll file is unlocked.

[1para{god-father} 105]

how can i save an objects INI ? or is that not possible ?

[code34 248]

You can not save object. If you want to, you have to serialize it into a string format, to rebuild it at load moment.

[eagledude4 3]

By serialize, do you mean compiling the string on read?

Would it be possible to incorporate object saving without conflicting with your previous work? Until then, I'm sticking with inidb.

Edited January 9, 2014 by eagledude4

[code34 248]

in fact, inidb doesn't permit to save object cause inidb only transforms the instance name of the object as a string;

It's useless cause the original read function doesn't work as expected. You write an object, and you will restore a string(only the instance name). So, In inidbi, i forbidded this usage for the moment.

By serialize, i mean transform the full object as a string that permits to restore it fully.

If you want to save an object that you created(vehicle), you have to serialize it yourself into a string, and save the string. In the reverse way, you have to restore it from the string.

Hey code34, awesome job sir. Glad to see this still alive.

Couple questions,

1st. How much help are you willing to give?

As in if I ask some simple questions are you gonna flame me for not knowing and or Google'n, cause I have and there is sh*t for examples/ help, or would you be willing to help me out.

And I'm slowly learning how to use this, and not looking for just an answer, but a push in the right direction as I am deeply involved and wanting to learn as much as possible.

2nd. Whats the best way to use the inidb_exsits method.

Right now I have a method that I am unsure is working.

_Profile = format["%1", getPlayerUID user];
   user = [_Profile] call iniDB_exists;

trying to set up a persistent mission that when you spawn, it checks to see if you have a db file in existence, if not, spawn you blah blah...

[code34 248]

Hey code34, awesome job sir. Glad to see this still alive.

_Profile = format["%1", getPlayerUID user];
   user = [_Profile] call iniDB_exists;

Hi :)

try this instead

_Profile = format["%1", getPlayerUID user];
_user = _Profile call iniDB_exists;

cause iniDB_exists function waits for a string ;)

As far as I understand, this example saves names of units to db. Not sure how this can help me.

How about inventory, position, health, etc?

yes, you have to write by yourself. I m thinking to introduce this function directly into the addon
