We have an issue with our database that has me stumped.  We were using the native database with PC Tools and DMFI and it works fine excpet when it is loaded with the ADL, it will write to the databases, but will not recall the data when needed.  Tried testing is again using the old way, and it worked fine again.  I tried to move to SQLite, the program provdied told me it was setup correctly, I changed the settings in the PC Tools script an changed the statements at the botton, but still writting to the old ones.  Any ideas?

Databases are server side. ADL should have no bearing on it, AFAIK.

Can you explain what you mean by "loaded with the ADL"? This sounds like you're attempting to store things client side.

When we tested the new Mod on the Server the first time, the testers downloaded the haks, PWC and campaign files form the FTP. We ran many tests, everything worked perfect. Bank and persistant chests and the XP system. We were happy. Then the everything was loaded to the ADL, and now those areas do not work, the bank takes the money, but when returning, the account is zero. I checked the database time and date, and they were accessed. So we tried doing it again the test way, and it worked fine.



I am at my wits end

When the MOD was in work we tested on a closed setup server as we went along.  When it was completed we took it to the main server our PW was on, had all the test players download the new haks, PWC, and Campaign file from the FTP.  I had a detailed test plan to get an indepth test.  Everything worked as it was suposed to. Persistant chests, Bank, XP system to name a few.  There were some minor visual issues, but over all we agreed we were ready to go ahead with the new version.  The MOD was preped for the ADL system, and implemented.  The first thing we noticed was the Perisistant Chests, Bank, and XP system were not working.  They would take items and gold, but when you went back the chest was empty and the bank was at zero balance.  I checked the database and all of them had been accessed duing that time by the time and date.  I took the Mod back to closed server, and it worked fine.  I tried to switch to SQLite, NWNX4 reconized the database file, I changed PC tools for the NWNX system as it said to, and compiled it, Ran it again, still it accessed the original Databases,  Personaly I would like to keep the old databases, we know they work, but cannot understand what in the ADL would do that.

Thank You for responding

It sounds to me like the players are either missing something they need for your persistence system to function or there's a conflict somewhere.

What I suggest is this:

1) Have the players clear out all old files, especially anything in the override folder

2) Recompile all scripts in your module directly on the server.

3) Try again

Confirm they have all the files they need.

Good luck!

Nothing about the ADL affects that. You can use your old system, you just when you went to ADL happened to do something else that makes it not work right.



Regardless you will have issues with the bioware DB system which will be sporadic, it is highly recommended you learn mysql which is much better or use with a PW.



Despite that, changing the DB to sqllite or mysql is not going to help you since your issue is likely something else, and i'd suggest working on figuring out why that is happening. The data should be stored on your PW's server and not the client so i don't see how client content has anything to do with this. ( otherwise players can edit their databases and give themselves unlimited gold )
