Best file engine? - Odyssey - 24.08.2011

Hello people. As some of you may know my scripting has improved alot since I started. From when I asked "Omg! It says Undefinded Symbol: COLOR_GREEN"! To when I made a good detailed tutorial on how to make some admin commands.

The only things I really need to learn now is TextDraws and Files. So, since I might be making a admin script I want to know the best modern easy to learn file system (Do not say DINI). I hear that Y_Files are good. But it looks a little hard, so I took a look at MysQL, that looks darn harder.

So, if any of you guys can suggest a nice file sysyem with a good enough tutorial. (Good enough so I can make my own register and login dialog). It will be greatly apreicated.

Regards,

Try fini.

I don't understand how to use y_ini yet either. I'm sure Y_Less's tutorial makes sense to others, but not me! As far as I'm concerned, MySQL is one of the easiest to use. You could also try SQLite, but that gave me a tough time and therefore I changed the code over to MySQL.

I heard SII is pretty easy to learn, but I don't know how quick it is compared to y_ini (although I think Y_Less outlined this on his release thread for y_ini).

I've been using MySQL for a while now

I really want to know that does SQLite store its content in a file or just storing like MySQL?

And which one would you recommend?

Stop saying y_ini is difficult. It's easy and more efficient than any other file systen. There are enough tutorials for y_ini to learn the basic and move on to the rest of it, such as;

I also use it in my gamemodes/filterscripts, including; y_cmd, y_groups, these all are meant to help us make the gamemode/filterscript itself as fast as possible.

That is like telling Y_Less that he should know PAWN inside and out by now... clearly that would be impossible! Just because some people have difficulties with some systems it doesn't mean it isn't easy to learn so quit with the arrogance. I myself have been trying to understand how y_ini works and have yet understood how to set up a basic accounting system.

the best engine - i think - is MySQL or FileManager

Same here i dont know how to set y_ini files yet i was using dini but it was so laggy, so i've use another system, yes i didnt learn it, i have some difficults like RealCop, Is this a problem? Of course no, cause humans doesnt know everything.

Re: Best file engine? - Toreno - 24.08.2011

I didn't say none of these, I meant.. that if anyone wants to seriously learn something, everyone can do that.
In the first time people saw that y_ini, they said... "woah, what is that; what...-;", etc'. They have seen it as hard as a rock. They didn't give it a chance because they are too lazy to replace their other one and learn this one.

I'm not talking specificly to both of you, I'm talking in local.

I'm quite sure most you feel hard to read from ini files using y_ini, writing is very easy though. I had hard time learning that.. D:

Y_INI is just the best for file writing. MySQL is just nice because you can match it with PHP to create a UCP or something like that.

Re: Best file engine? - Odyssey - 25.08.2011

Ok, thanks for all your suggestions.

I will curently stick with Dini (Yes I know its old).

But when I upgrade, I will be upgrading to Y_Lesses "Y_INI". Why? Its has the most functions, it may not be the fastest but speed isnt really a issue. It still writes to the file no matter what speed. I have also chosen "Y_INI" becuase I use most of Y_Lesses scripts, such as sscanf, y_groups, and y_colors.

Thanks for all your suggestions! It was much aperciated.
