        {
            try
            {
                string[] ENpc = File.ReadAllLines(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + @"\gets\npcs.ini");
                NPCs = new uint[ENpc.Length][];
                for (int ik = 0; ik < ENpc.Length; ik++)
                {
                    string[] a = ENpc[ik].Split('#');
                    NPCs[ik] = new uint[8] { uint.Parse(a[0]), uint.Parse(a[1]), uint.Parse(a[3]), uint.Parse(a[4]), uint.Parse(a[5]), uint.Parse(a[6]), uint.Parse(a[7]), uint.Parse(a[8]) };
                }
                Console.Write("NPCs Loaded from DataBase: " + ENpc.Length + "\n");
                passednpcs = true;
            }
            catch (Exception Exc) { General.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(Exc)); passednpcs = false; }
        }

the thing i`m using.

public static string LoadNpcs
        {
            get
            {
                string[] StrDelimiter = File.ReadAllLines(DBFolder + "\\Npc\\Spawns.txt");
                Npcs = new ConquerNpc[StrDelimiter.Length];
                for (uint i = 0; i < StrDelimiter.Length; i++)
                    Npcs[i] = ConquerNpc.Parse(StrDelimiter[i]);
                return string.Format("\tLoaded {0} Npcs.", Npcs.Length);
            }
        }

Actually, the way LOTF handles the NPC's is probably the most efficient. MYSQL only made the server unstable when it was required to keep an active connection to the server at all times. As players made changes to characters, the way the MYSQL connection was coded, the more unstable the server became. This was the source of the login error. C# reads from a MYSQL database faster than from flat files(most of the time, depending on the coding and the coder...), and in LOTF loading all non-changing entities from the MYSQL database increased the speed of the loading, and reduced overall memory usage. If your going to use flat files, you should only convert the characters, accounts, guilds, and friends to text files. This is strictly a personal opinion, as others may and will have different views, but I believe this is the most efficient way to write a server source.

probabily , after all, i`m not a genius

I intend to use .txt and .ini files for my new source the whole way through .

But from the looks of the first post it reads 1 value from each key and does nothing? Wtf? ._.

Not really, your still using strings at the end of the day which requires alot more processing...so no.

[Ultimatum]

public static void LoadNpcs()
{
string[] NPCFile = File.ReadAllLines(DB + "\\Instance\\NPC.txt");
foreach (string Content in NPCFile)
{
string[] NPCArray = Content.Split(' ');
NPCInstance Npc = new NPCInstance();
Npc.UID = Convert.ToUInt32(NPCArray[0]);
Npc.ID = Convert.ToUInt32(NPCArray[1]);
Npc.PosX = Convert.ToUInt16(NPCArray[2]);
Npc.PosY = Convert.ToUInt16(NPCArray[3]);
Npc.Type = Convert.ToUInt16(NPCArray[4]);
Npc.Direction = Convert.ToUInt16(NPCArray[5]);
Npc.Flag = Convert.ToUInt32(NPCArray[6]);
Npc.MapID = Convert.ToUInt16(NPCArray[7]);
SpawnNPCPack Spawn = new SpawnNPCPack();
Spawn.Npc = Npc;
Spawn.BuildPacket();
Spawn.SpawnNPCPack = Spawn.PacketData;
World.AllNpcs.Add(Npc.UID, Npc);
}
}

A bit like haydz ;D

The competion was between the other 2 pieces of code.

*Edit : Found out my Source doesn't load my Ini items. how to load them?
I'f got this :

public static void LoadItems()
        {
            string[] Item = File.ReadAllLines(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + @"\Others\AllItems.ini");
            DBItems = new string[Item.Length][];

            for (int i = 0; i < Item.Length; i++)
            {
                string[] Splitter = Item[i].Split('-');
                //Items[i] = new uint[15] { uint.Parse(Splitter[0]), uint.Parse(Splitter[1]), uint.Parse(Splitter[2]), uint.Parse(Splitter[3]), uint.Parse(Splitter[4]), uint.Parse(Splitter[5]), uint.Parse(Splitter[6]), uint.Parse(Splitter[7]), uint.Parse(Splitter[8]), uint.Parse(Splitter[9]), uint.Parse(Splitter[10]), uint.Parse(Splitter[11]), uint.Parse(Splitter[12]), uint.Parse(Splitter[13]), uint.Parse(Splitter[14]), uint.Parse(Splitter[15]) };
                DBItems[i] = new string[16] { Splitter[0], Splitter[1], uint.Parse(Splitter[2]), uint.Parse(Splitter[3]), uint.Parse(Splitter[4]), uint.Parse(Splitter[5]), uint.Parse(Splitter[6]), uint.Parse(Splitter[7]), uint.Parse(Splitter[8]), uint.Parse(Splitter[9]), uint.Parse(Splitter[10]), uint.Parse(Splitter[11]), uint.Parse(Splitter[12]), uint.Parse(Splitter[13]), uint.Parse(Splitter[14]), uint.Parse(Splitter[15]) };
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Loaded all items.");
