Using extdb3 but using the pbo linked here: http://tebinulrich.de/pdb.pbo

 

Notice the path is \sru_pdb\ so I think that it is referencing the older one for extdb2

hi guys,

 

after a while, we decided to continue this mod. Currently working on it and once we have a version that works again, we will upload it (also to our github)

What are the differences between your mod and lets say Grad Persistence? https://github.com/gruppe-adler/grad-persistence

i never heard of that mod before (probably because i was inactive for a while). However, as far as I can see, the mod doesnt save it in a mysql database but stores everything in local files i think. For us, it was important to store stuff in a database, so we can have a web interface to control things or to save and load multiple states of a mission

I made our github repo public. You can check it out here. It also contains all the files you need to get this running easy: https://github.com/tebsu/pdb

At one point, it looks like i made it privat and i am not sure why. Maybe I was drunk at that time.

 

ps: before you say "uuuh yea, the Finns...". I am not originally from Finnland, but love the country and the culuture !

 

So in this repo, you will also fine one version that is not binarized and one that is. Just so if you want to tweak it on your own. We will also fix some things here and there and publish a web GUI soon.

 

Oh and also keep in mind, that somewhere in the past, we changed some paths within the mod. So if you see anything referencing to "sru", you probably use an old version of the mod or you didnt update your mission files.

No sql file, how to make extdb3 and database connection

from time to time.. We only have a small group of people who play together, so there is sometimes the lack of motivation. However, we just released an

UPDATE

You can download it here: https://github.com/tebsu/pdb/tree/master/packed

If you dont know how to install it, we have an example mission and also there are some important files like the extDB3.. you find all of those files in the additional folder and in the mission folder here: https://github.com/tebsu/pdb

If you still need help, you can usually find me on Discord: tebinu#6145

 

What has changed:

 

- some database tables were in the MyISAM format. I changed all of that to InnoDB and utf8mb4

- There is no need for whitelisting vehicles. It will just store all the vehicles now in the database (we had an array before in the code with classnames that are going to be stored.. everything that wasnt in that list, wasnt stored)

 

Plans for the future:

- We have plans to instead add a blacklist. There you can add vehicle classnames, that our mod will not store in the database

- Daniel said, he wants to rewrite this whole mod.. not sure if we will do, as debugging is something i always hated in Arma 3 (you know.. write a line of code, start arma, see if it works (usually it doesnt), end arma 3, change that line and repeat a million times)

Hi tebbbs I know its been a very long time but I wondered if you still have any version of the web front end you were working on for PDB?.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi There, 

My group is looking to move over to this from ALiVE as we utilize a lot more zeus for story involvement etc, however while looking at the requirements we noticed that it is extDB2 however when looking for this we see extDB3. So in line with this my query is will this system still function with extDB3? I may have missed the post somewhere with in here and if so I apologise I just want to be sure.

Regards
