you should not just assume stuff unless you have a good reason, and ini are not messy and unorganized, unless the they are created that way.
MySql is good database system also its stable and easy to use with lots of support websites 4 it.
i cant say noting about mmsql never used it and i do not no a nothing about it.

i no edit packets. i will use Conquer wiki to help me with this.
and i also no that i need to remove the blowfish encryption but i do not no how to go about doing this.

If you have over 1,000 entries and you need to look something up you would have wished you had used a real db system. There's really only one way to create an ini file by the way. You can't really format them the way you want, or else it shouldn't even have a .ini extension.

And you can use ini files for a website db too, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Anyways, I really dont like the idea of an ini db myself, it's not much harder to set up a mysql database and in the long run it's a much better route.

but this is much more user friendly for all the nubs who wanna run p servers, but come on, would a company want to do this? probably not.

Want to look up account information?
\Accounts\*.ini where * is the account name
Spell?
\Spells\x[y].ini where x = spell id, y = spell level
Guild?
\Guilds\ID\guild.ini where ID = guild ID

ez.

a real db system ini files are a real db system and they do make search programs in windows that are meant to find files easy that is on your system and if you no how to use the search program you will not have no problem finding a file you would need to edit and it would be faster then going to a database system or phpmyadmin and then find what you need to edit and ini files are faster then MySql. so if you no what you are doing ini database system is better,
but we are going over same thing over and over here can we pleas move on?
but its your thread InfamousNoone if you want to keep this convo going about the database system its up 2 you.
but any help with my last post?

hay i found a bug, when you login around monsters the monsters attack you when there are a big distantness between you and the monsters its like they thank you are somewhere that you are not just letting you all no

01/02/2011 21:20 InfamousNoone#188

Change it so the monster-find-target routine actually checks if the user has fully logged in yet. There should be something called like Client.LoginPhase or AuthPhase.

I was fully clothed until I saw this.

i could not find loginphase or authphase but i do thank this is the code you where talking about right?

Code:

if ((entity.ServerFlags & ServerFlags.LoggedIn) == ServerFlags.LoggedIn)

i put that in monsters.cs where it targets a player but when i do that monsters will not attack you tell you move.
and you could put the same code in monsters wont attack you tell you move you could put that code in in kernal but then you will not see monsters at all tell you move.

Is that how it works? No way...

Perhaps you should explain him what 'ID' stands for, I bet his reaching for his wallet right now.

I wasn't trying to be a total flame out of it , but its so damn simple if you can't figure out What X = , Y= NPC id , who would have guessed the npc id is the identification number used to id each npc, each id is unique to each npc, each number is a different npc.

Enough of the flaming i'm sorry if your trying to make a server and don't/can't figure out something as simple as that then i'm sorry i have only a few words of advise "give up".

Read up on the game your trying to emulate before you try to run a server for it.
