NEED HELP WITH A MYSQL SETUP - NEED A WALKTHROUGH

Post by icLogic »

ALRIGHT ALL YOU TECHIES - GOT A QUESTION 4 YA's

I have two servers I'm building that I have in mind. The problem I face, is understanding how to set up the mysql database so that the server will record and save players Experience...


ANY GUIDANCE???


Also, I wanted to know if there was a command or something I could write in that would allow all experience to Reset if you haven't been in the server for a couple of days.

That is all I need to know, And please keep in mind, Im still learning. So Give me a full breakdown... Thank You!

Hi,

are you trying to set up data bases through your web hosting control panel or do you have a dedicated box or VDS which you are trying to set one up on?

I found some links which may help:

Which games are you going to run a server for?

Correct me if im wrong, but if it is CS:S there is a plugin you can use called SOD stats that runs on sqlite that has options to erase data after a pre defined time period in the config. You can also change a few minor things to connect it to a mysql database instead if this is what you really want (for displayin on website or if anything needs to connect to it).

Most popular source/orangebox games support something of the sort.

Thank you guys for the prompt responses,

I have built a diablo mod server for CS:CZ.. Nothing in the installation txt did it state that I had to connect to a database, but this is my assumption to if I want to save my public members xp for at leased 3 days there has got to be a plugin I can attach or not..
