MySQL? / Jihaad bomb not working

Post by Trooper »

Hey guys Sorry for all this posts but I am pretty new to this and Need alot of help for this to work.

MySQL: What is it? Do I need it? were do I get it if so?

My TTT Point shop is not working and I believe it is because I do not have an MySQL I have no idea what the hell that is.

This is were I got my Files from:

https://revotech.org/fp/showthread.php?t=1250362

I had downloaded the Main file which was
https://github.com/adamdburton/pointshop

and I had downloaded the Extra Items
https://github.com/adamdburton/pointshop-extras

then I had dragged the Extra Items into the main file and had uploaded the file from File Zilla into my sever. On file manager on my sever control Panel I scrolled downand it says My Point shop is in my sever but when I boot up Garrys mod and go into my sever it is not there or/and not working?

any tips you guys can give me?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My second Problem is a Jihaad bomb I had gotten from the workshop,

from this link

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =121287462

I tried contacting the owner but nothing is working. Mind you I have already gotten the main file he gave in the description and I have successfully added it onto my /Garrysmod/Addons Folder from File Zila. but when I got into the Traitor Point shop it is not there? what am I doing wrong?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S

I do not have a FastDL IDK what that is ether so if ya would enlighten me that would be very helpful

-Thanks again NFOsever Staff!

MySQL is database software. It's used for storing large amounts of data in a way that makes it easy to add to, organize, and retrieve. MySQL is great for concurrency and can be accessed locally and remotely.

Do you need it? Nope! Pointshop doesn't require it, it will store everything in a SQLite database by default. (SQLite is as a very basic version of a SQL database. It requires little to no setup, it doesn't require a server to run it, and stores everything in one flat file.) The only reason you would really want to run Pointshop using MySQL is if you are going to access the data outside of the game, or if you're going to sync points across multiple servers.

If you do require the above features, MySQL database hosting is provided with our included web hosting.

then I had dragged the Extra Items into the main file and had uploaded the file from File Zilla into my sever. On file manager on my sever control Panel I scrolled downand it says My Point shop is in my sever but when I boot up Garrys mod and go into my sever it is not there or/and not working?
The Pointshop Extras should remain in a separate folder in your addons directory. Here is an example:

If you copied it into the main pointshop-master folder and overwrote anything, it would be best to start over with the Pointshop installation.
but when I got into the Traitor Point shop it is not there? what am I doing wrong?
I don't believe this addon adds itself to the Pointshop menu. It's more than likely only selectable in the TTT menu.

Fast Download allows the server to request content to be sent to the client from a webserver vs the gameserver itself. Content from the gameserver is capped to a speed of 20kb/s where as a webserver will not have a cap. The WebSync tab in your control panel will take care of the syncing of files to the webserver automatically for you.

When you join your server and have Fast Download enabled, cache files and map files will automatically download from the webserver. Some files such as materials, models, or sounds have to forced to be sent using a lua script. We have a tutorial on how to do this, linked here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =65&t=7337

Only include pointshop-mysql-master if you need to use the MySQL storage. Otherwise, you can omit it.
