Y_INI Saving/loading help - GeorgeMcReary - 22.07.2016

Hello i am creating a Objects saving system for my server. i was using y_ini. i am saving all objects using one simple call back, SaveObjects()

Now when i thought what to write there, i used it like:

PHP код:



 INI_WriteInt(object, "Object ID", ObjInfo[MAX_OBJECTS][OID]);

Am i doing right? i have to use MAX_OBJECTS there or do i have to use loop too in Save Callback?

Its a Small help but Thanks in advance

PHP код:



PHP Code:
 INI_WriteInt(object, "Object ID", objectid);

Re: Y_INI Saving/loading help - GeorgeMcReary - 22.07.2016

i didnt get it, like ofc there will not be a single .ini file. so how do i put objectid to which i am storing under ObjInfo[MAX_OBJECTS][OID]. i want to set that [OID] would get saved.

Also how can i make it like in folder Trees, the .ini file get saved with the name of tree ID like "1.ini" or "20.ini", and if i do that, how do i load the all files togather?

Thanks for Fast Reply

The 2D-array ObjInfo will only save whatever value [0ID] is holding for index MAX_OBJECTS.

Let's say MAX_OBJECTS has been defined as 5:

PHP код:



#define MAX_OBJECTS 5

We then assign a value to ObjInfo[MAX_OBJECTS][0ID]:

PHP код:



ObjInfo[MAX_OBJECTS][0ID] = 10;

What the preprocessor will do is replace MAX_OBJECTS with its defined value:

PHP код:



ObjInfo[5][0ID] = 10;

This means that for the index MAX_OBJECTS (5) of the 2D-array ObjInfo, 0ID equals 10.

What you want to do is save the values of 0ID for all indexes of ObjInfo. In that case, you need a loop:

PHP код:



for(new i = 0; i < MAX_OBJECTS; i++) {


     INI_WriteInt(object, "Object ID", ObjInfo[i][OID])

}

Fault-checking should be done by you. With fault-checking, I immediately think of non-existing objects or empty indexes.

Yeah right. that was i was asking. i have to use loop in order to save it. now i want that each .ini gets saved inside Objects/1.ini or 2.ini etc.. according to objects ID. how can i make it like that. also how will i be able to load it?

Thanks for help.

Doing it like that might be very slow. Keep in mind that for every other file, you have to open, read and close it. And that MAX_OBJECTS times. Though, it's definitely going to be faster to delete them and check if they exist.

Here's an example:

PHP код:



CMD:createobject(playerid, params[]) {

    new
        objectid;

    if(sscanf(params, "d", objectid)) {

        return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "USAGE: /createobject <id>");
    }

    new 
        obj = createObj(objectid);

    if(obj == -1) {

        // createObj() has returned -1
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "ERROR: The server has reached its maximum amount of objects.");
    }
    return true;
}

createObj(objectid) {

    new
        tempPath[24];

    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_OBJECTS; i ++) {

        format(tempPath, sizeof(tempPath), "\\objects\\%d.ini", i);
        if(fexist(tempPath)) {

            // Object with ID the value of the current 'i' already exists
            continue;
        }
        new INI:file = INI_Open(tempPath);
        INI_SetTag(file, "objects");
        INI_WriteInt(file, "Object ID", objectid);
        INI_Close(file);
        
        return i;
    }
    return -1;
}

The example code allows you to keep numbers filled. Example:
> There are three files; 0.ini, 1.ini and 2.ini respectively.
> You remove 1.ini
> You create a new object
> It will save as 1.ini and not as 3.ini

Doing it otherwise may give you trouble when creating objects with the same ID.
