Use i/o for save data instead of qf and event flag

Hello epvp,
This is my first release

I see in a lot of post that people use qf and event flag and it's the way slower and wrong to save data because is very simple bug the flag and because with qf or flag cant save string...
So i do a small release using i/o.
Here we are.
Add two folder in quest: data_local and data_global
Now add this code in quest_lib editing the directory of the two folder

Code:

Data_Local = "/usr/game1/channel1/share_data/locale/germany/quest/data_local/"
Data_Global = "/usr/game1/channel1/share_data/locale/germany/quest/data_global/"

function write(name,value)
			name_player = pc.get_name()
			io.output(Data_Local..pc.get_player_id().."_"..name)
				io.write(value)
				io.flush()
				io.close()
		end
		function read(name)
			name_player = pc.get_name()
			io.input(Data_Local..pc.get_player_id().."_"..name)
			local valore=tostring(io.read())
			return valore
		end
		function write_global(name,value)
			io.output(Data_Global..name)
				io.write(value)
				io.flush()
				io.close()
		end
		function read_global(name)
			io.input(Data_Global..name)
			local valore=tostring(io.read())
			return valore
		end

Add the function in quest_function
read_global
write_global
read
write

Now I write a simple quest for showing that is the same

Code:

quest testing begin
	state start begin
		when 20086.take begin
			write_global("test","Simple Test with i/o")
			local i = read_global("test")
			say(i)
			
               end
	end
end

Good bye.

Try this:

Code:

Data_Local = "locale/germany/quest/data_local/"
Data_Global = "locale/germany/quest/data_global/"
--or
Data_Local = get_locale_base_path().."/quest/data_local/"
Data_Global = get_locale_base_path().."/quest/data_local/"
