call iniDB_read not reading

Make sure you checked the file permission for your username?

can you try to put @inidbi2 at the root of \arma3\ directory instead of subdirectory ?

I already tested. did not work either -.-

[code34 248]

same as above, try to use diag_log instead of systemchat that doesn't work for locality reason.

_read = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "one"]] call _inidbi;
diag_log format["result", _read];

_read2 = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "two"]] call _inidbi;
diag_log format["result2", _read2];

_read3 = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "three"]] call _inidbi;
diag_log format["result3", _read3];

 

 

[LoOni3r 6]

nothing happens. even if I enter it in the debug console

May I see a few examples of you saving and reading something?

[code34 248]

for locality reason, you can only see this in the server logs :)

Are you sure you aren't calling the iniDB functions from the client in a multiplayer environment? If the version is displayed in the Eden editor but not a hosted server, it seems very likely that locality is your issue.

[LoOni3r 6]

correctly. as if inidb2 would not work in multiplay.

How can I verify that?

can that be changed?

[LoOni3r 6]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm almost finished scriping my server and now need a way to save.

 

I deleted the @inidb2 and downloaded it from armaholic.

the x64.dll downloaded from https://github.com/code34/inidbi2/tree/master/%40inidbi2

 

 

Mission pbo (new mission created for testing)

https://www.file-upload.net/download-13462924/inidb.Altis.pbo.html

 

 

start.bat

@echo off

start arma3server_x64.exe -port=2302 "-config=config2.cfg" "-servermod=mods\@inidbi2;"

timeout 3

 

config2.cfg

hostName = "test server - not join!";
password = "";
passwordAdmin = "qwertz";
serverCommandPassword = "";


class Missions
{
	class Mission_1
	{
		template = inidb.Altis;
		difficulty = "regular";
	};


};

 

init.sqf

_inidbi = ["new", "test"] call OO_INIDBI;

_write = ["write", ["GLOBAL", "one", "text-one"]] call _inidbi;
_write2 = ["write", ["GLOBAL", "two", "text-two"]] call _inidbi;
_write3 = ["write", ["GLOBAL", "three", "text-three"]] call _inidbi;


sleep 15;

_read = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "one"]] call _inidbi;
systemchat str[_read];

_read2 = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "two"]] call _inidbi;
systemchat str[_read2];

_read3 = ["read", ["GLOBAL", "three"]] call _inidbi;
systemchat str[_read3];


sleep 10;
_version  = "getVersion" call _inidbi;
hintc format["version %1", _version];

 

Database test.ini

[GLOBAL]
one=""text-one""
two=""text-two""
three=""text-three""

 

 

Result

 

 

 

As before, I do not understand now that does not call the variables.

I am desperate and really need your help.

 

maybe @code34 still has an idea.

 

if it should be important:

i use windows 10 pro with i7-8700k and 64gb ram

 

 

I would like to thank you again for your help! Many Thanks

hi LoOni3r

 

you have to take in account the locality.

 

init.sqf is executed on both side server and client.

 

If you load some informations on server side, you have to use only initServer.sqf. When your data are load you have to send them via publicvariable on client and receive them with an handler

 

for simplicity, you can test with something like this:

_version = "getVersion" call _inidbi;

str(_version) remoteExec ["systemChat"];

 

 

[LoOni3r 6]

Many thanks!
I finally got it.

 

hen i will have to work a lot with publicvariable.

 

thanks for the support

[LoOni3r 6]

Can you limit a public variable to a client?

I want to send the saved player data (position, loadout, ..) to the client with player connect.

so I can put the player position, loadout, ... at the reconnect

@gc8 :D split second!

like this?

//server

playerpos = ["read", ["GENERAL", "POS"]] call _inidbi;
_playeruid = getPlayerUID player;
_playeruid publicVariableClient "playerpos";

//initplayerlocal

hint str[playerpos];

[Schatten 261]

@LoOni3r, on client side you need to use addPublicVariableEventHandler command.

Why? what for?

For handling of transferring of global variable from server to client, obviously.

I don't understand? Do you know what a Public Variable Eventhandler does?

Sure.

[LoOni3r 6]

can you give me an example?
I tried a lot yesterday and today and can not get it

 

 

another question:

 

can inidb2 handle multiple databases?
I would like to have a .ini file for each player.

 

if I do so I get no more output

 

while {true} do{

	// Player Data
	{
		_playeruid = getPlayerUID _x;
		_playername = name _x;
		_playerpos = getPosASL _x;
		_playerdir = getDir _x;
		_playerloadout = getUnitLoadout _x;

		_datenbaseplayer = ["australia_survival/playerdata/",_playeruid] joinString "";
		_inidbi = ["new", _datenbaseplayer] call OO_INIDBI;

		_setplayerdate = ["write", ["GENERAL", "TIME", "00.00.2018"]] call _inidbi;
		_setplayeruid = ["write", ["GENERAL", "UID", _playeruid]] call _inidbi;
		_setplayername = ["write", ["GENERAL", "NAME", _playername]] call _inidbi;
		_setplayerpos = ["write", ["GENERAL", "POS", _playerpos]] call _inidbi;
		_setplayerdir = ["write", ["GENERAL", "DIR", _playerdir]] call _inidbi;
		_setplayerloadout = ["write", ["GENERAL", "LOADOUT", _playerloadout]] call _inidbi;



_playerpos = ["read", ["GENERAL", "POS"]] call _inidbi;
_playerpos remoteExec ["systemChat"];



		}foreach playableUnits;	
	// Player Data ende






sleep 3;
};

initPlayerLocal.sqf:

waitUntil {time > 0};

playerDataRequest = [player];

publicVariableServer "playerDataRequest";

playerDataRequest = nil;

_time = time + 10;

waitUntil {!(isNil "playerData") or {_time >= time}};

if (!(isNil "playerData")) then {
    // Apply player data
};

initServer.sqf:

"playerDataRequest" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
    params ["_varName", "_varValue"];

    missionNamespace setVariable [_varName, nil];

    _varValue params ["_player"];

    // Read player data (e.g. by UID) from DB, file, etc. and form playerData variable

    (owner _player) publicVariableClient "playerData";

    playerData = nil;
};

But it is very unreliable solution. I suggest you to use remoteExec command.

Sure. DB name is given in second argument to OO_INIDBI function.

Full documentation can be found here.

[LoOni3r 6]

thanks for the example.
I will test it afterwards.

I know the wiki and unfortunately I have not seen any possibility how I can drive different databases while reading

[Schatten 261]

This is extended version of my example for initServer.sqf file:

"playerDataRequest" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
    params ["_varName", "_varValue"];

    missionNamespace setVariable [_varName, nil];

    _varValue params ["_player"];

    _inidbi = ["new", getPlayerUID _player] call OO_INIDBI;

    // Read player data and form playerData variable

    ["delete", _inidbi] call OO_INIDBI;

    (owner _player) publicVariableClient "playerData";

    playerData = nil;
};

In this example player UID is used as DB (file) name.

[Schatten 261]

@LoOni3r, you already use different files to store players data -- _datenbaseplayer variable value is used as file name. But file name is wrong -- it can't contain slashes.
