Storing data in database/file

[MScull]

Hello,
I've seen a server storing player's data in a database. So your data wouldn't get lost when you rejoin.
I was wondering if it would be possible to store data in an external file/database. If so, an example would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In the past I asked that, in this thread.
we are waiting for that will become possible with a class in the script API because, due for security problems, we cannot use C#'s namespaces for storing data.
The thing you have seen is a trick some server hosts uses to get data from the game and put inside again. For this you can use Cheat Engine or other memory debugger programs, your script needs to save all in the "Game.Data" variable as a long string and then before the server shuts down the string is collected. When the server is reopened, the reverse way.

Thanks for posting a link to the original thread. I'm really happy that there will be a way to do it in the future.
