About time I change out my file system. (Suggestions please) - Hoborific - 19.12.2011
So, so far I have been using Dini happily, for the last year and a half at least.
But I can feel the slowness of this, and I'm looking to upgrade, i'd prefer something with a similar or at least.. not so complicated system, I'm mainly looking for an INI file system, I suck with queries.

Well Y_INI may seem hard at first, but once you use it for a little bit and get the hang of it, it's fairly simple. If you honestly don't need MySQL don't use it. I've learned that lesson. Y_INI is faster or just about the same speed if i remember correctly, and more secure than MySQL. Alot of people seem to not understand that, and they make their gamemodes using MySQL without anything to use MySQL with. I plan to make or have someone help me make a UCP for S82-CnR after i release v1.0 and get all the bugs fixed.

Thanks, And I completely understand, thus the lack of interest in MYSQL.
Y_Ini it is then. I better get converting.

If you do need some help with Y_INI. Kush has a wonderful tutorial in the tutorials section. If you want i can link you to it. You know what nevermind, here is the link.

Edit:
By the way i used to use Dini up until about 2 months ago. I completely understand, how you feel about it.

Thanks, Sometimes I think ****** is too smart for his own good, his standard of our definitions is a little high, and his tutorials have never helped me all that much, but Kush's is great, I've already learnt something.

Just a question here, why do people hate dini? It isn't that bad and does the work alright. And how much slower can it be, maybe at most 1 second late than Y_Ini.

You'll notice the speed differences when you're dealing with player files and hundreds of player variables in comparison to Y_INI.
