You are aware you are complaining about a steam feature right ? That info is required to join a server your friend is playing on. Also even if you remove that feature there are few other methods to figure out what server someone is playing on. Honestly the best you can do is get a server with some DDOS Protection and just wait for the person to get bored. Plus i would question why you have people in your friends list ddosing you server

1) Bug reports are handled on Bitbucket issues. 2) Also you need to included database backup / extdb3 debug logs to replicate the issue. extDB3 it will be done soonish.

Yes there will be support for 64bit. I just need to tweak my build scripts & compile a custom tbbmalloc.dll. Can't just rename the dll as this will break tbbmalloc internal check if its loaded. Needed to be done incase you have multiple extensions dynamically linked against the same dll. Hopefully there will be experimental version later today. Example of the dll file structure.. @extdb/extDB3_x64.dll @extdb/extDB3.dll tbbmalloc_x64.dll tbbmalloc.dll This way end-user doesn't need to worry about if they download the 32bit/64bit version.

Version 1.023 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog FIXED: Calling Procedures TBBMalloc.dll is updated

Issue is now fixed in version 1.023

extDB = can crash badly ;) extDB2 = has some issues, but nothing to serious. Just really lacking on some DB Datatypes Support and error checking for the config files. extDB3 = is prob the best and really not much work to convert from extDB2 implementations. Note: with extDB1/2/3 there are multiple ways to implement it. So knowledge of SQL + SQF is really recommended. Realistically extDB2/3 are very similar sqf wise. Recommend you have a look @ exile or https://github.com/MrEliasen/Supremacy-Frameworkon how to implement it. Other possible extensions are: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/173743-stats-server-and-client-api-with-support-for-sql-and-nosql-databases/ This is alot more user friendly last time i looked, and should still work. https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/141462-inidb-save-and-load-data-to-the-server-or-your-local-computer-without-databases/

@johnnyboy Looks nice, just saw your JBOY Chickens very nice To fix dogs walking through objects, you need to make an addon with the model and animations and import the model as soldier simulation class. Few extra memory points required etc & abit more defining in the movements. Its abit of pain todo, but you will end up better path finding for the unit and you don't need to mess with playmove / switchmove etc... Downside is you cant use any of the arma3 models and will need a custom model + animations.

Its purely a c++ code issue, just have some patience will have a look at the issue over the weekend.

The easiest solution is to statically link the dll. Otherwise you need to mess around with LoadLibrary etc, were you will prob run into issues with Battleye anyways.

Just small status update. Think all the bugs with extDB3 have been ironed out now ;) So unless there is another small bug report. I am going to be working on new alternative method to send data to extDB3. Current method is "extDB3" callExtension "0:SQL:foo:arg1:arg2:arg3"; Downside is the seperator character can't be used in any of the input data. New alternative method will be _data = [0,"SQL",[arg1,arg2,arg3]]; "extDB3" callExtension (str _data); Upside no more seperator character issue This will be optional and configurable which method you use on setup stage of extBD3, to make it back compatiable. I just need to do some coding & benchmarking to make sure there are no performance issues etc

Version 1.021 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog FIXED: SQL_CUSTOM Input Time Option, the format is [Year,Day,Month,Hour,Minute,Second] For example if you are inputing to timestamp just use [0,0,0,Hour,Minute,Second]. TBBMalloc.dll is updated, important to update the dll if you are running windows 10. Linux Builds, will be done later/tomorrow

Linux version compiled at https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads I need todo some full testing, will get to it tomorrow. But if anyone wanna helps me test it out, would be great thanks

You should go to https://www.altisliferpg.com/and sign up for support. They also have a discord channel, you will need to wait after connecting to get added to the channels. Sidenote: If you have extDB2 installed correctly i.e vc2013/2015 x86 redist installed. It will have its own log files with info. I still recommend you to go altisliferpg for support/help

Fix for Altis Life code still using MRES function... https://github.com/AsYetUntitled/Framework/commit/db66e545ef02faec2a2e9fd152eb5260b3deab8a Note altis life forums are backup & they have discord setup aswell ---------------- This was asked to get changed by myself & afew other extension developers https://feedback.bistudio.com/T79720 With this change its possible to parse a str _array in an extension without having to worry about user inputted data. The changelog for this is Fixed: The GetText() method for a string would return an invalid string The changelog is abit cryptic because they fixed a lowlevel engine function that got fixed.

Nope i never pushed a hacky fix for that. Infact i was bugging Dwarden / Arma to fix it in the engine. Altis life servers are using older extDB2 extension, but there is a sqf fix at... https://github.com/AsYetUntitled/Framework/commit/db66e545ef02faec2a2e9fd152eb5260b3deab8a ----------------------------- Anyway his error message is because his house database doesn't have column garage. Its unrelated to the str changes... I recommend you go to http://www.altisliferpg.com/ (website is back up) Sign up for the forums & hop onto discord for help etc..

Arma is a 32bit process including armaserver This means it can't handle more than 4GB of ram. I don't recommend setting it higher than 3.2GB otherwise you will start to encounter random crashes.

Version 1.019 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog ADDED: 9:ADD_DATETIME info @ https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/wiki/extDB3%20-%20System FIXED: SQL_CUSTOM retrieving Double DataType FIXED: SQL_CUSTOM fixed issue retrieving Number DataTypes, were the length/set size was shorter the string size of number. FIXED: SQL_CUSTOM while now throw error if data result is truncated. Recommended to update if you are using SQL_CUSTOM

With NIArms Complete Removing/Replacing the SAW pbo stops the Config Errors edit: There is also another config error for the AKs. class UGL_F; Warning Message: Error: creating weapon UGL_F with scope=private NIArms_AK v2.05 pbo has the same config error

Version 1.014 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog SQL_CUSTOM: Fixed OUTPUT Option when using multiple SQLx_xAlso Linux Builds will be done later today.

Instead of stitching images together, next time try http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-how-to-export-topography/ Its abit of pain to get to work, since newer windows doesn't by default let programs write to C:\ root directory. Really wish arma would write to same directory as .exe or were the rpt are located.

Version 1.013 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog Improved Handling when Database Connection is lost Added 9:UPTIME:HOURS / 9:UPTIME:MINUTES / 9:UPTIME:SECONDS MariaDB C Connector Updated Changelog SQL_CUSTOM Added: add_escape_quotes Added: remove_escape_quotes Removed: string_escape_quotes Removed: string_escape_quotes2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arma 1.64 will now escape quotations automatically ;) I have added & removed some options to SQL_CUSTOM. So people can add/remove these escape quotations. Note: extDB3 will complain on trying to load sql_custom ini file if there any unknown options :) Short version you just need any change any occurances of string_escape_quotes -> string-add_escape_quotes string_escape_quotes2 -> string2-add_escape_quotes More Info of sql_custom ini options @ https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/wiki/extDB3%20-%20sql_custom.ini Note: If you are compiling from source, use https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/tree/fbf6fd1598914801414b0b0a7f2a169b0506dc4c Later versions are broken due to shared memory changes on windows, haven't had time to look into it.

@DeeJay86 You wont find much inregards how to use extDB3 specfically. Mainly because its made to be flexible, there are multiple ways you can implement / use it in SQF. But it does help if you have some previous knowledge of SQL Queries. You can look at other implements like https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/184027-spmc-supremacy-framework-v052-august-20th-2016-multiplayer-sandbox-framework/ or other implements using extDB2 (very similiar) like Altis Life / A3Wasteland / Exile etc

You either have dlls blocks / or didn't copy the tbbmalloc.dll to your arma3 root directory. Or you have BattlEye turned on & its blocking the extension. Or you didn't install the ---------> 32bit <------- version of vc2015 redist. There really is no otherway you could have messed up.

Version 1.010 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads Changelog SQL_CUSTOM: Non Prepared Statements Fixed $CUSTOM_x$ Fixed Input/Output Options Added Exception Handling MariaDB C Connector Updated: Performance Increase Note: If you are using Procedures in SQL_CUSTOM, remember to use Prepared Statement = false extDB3 should now is on par or better than extDB2 support for MariaDB/MySQL Database Queries etc... Plus it has cleaner SQL_CUSTOM file and better error catching when parsing the .ini file aswell. Linux Builds might have done later / tomorrow. If you encounter a bug please sent a database snapshot so it is alot quicker for me to recreate the bug thanks.
