Hey everyone!

 

I've taken it upon myself to learn MySQL for any database needs I may run into in the future, it's pretty straightforward so far and I've had no problems doing the basics with the NWN ODBC functions.

 

I am wanting to use this personal storage system: http://neverwinterva...-storage-system

 

with MySQL but I'm hitting a few bumps.

 

 

Here's the original of what I'm trying to change

Here's my attempt

I've managed to get the object stored, and called properly with the proper inventory, but a problem I'm having now is running StorageClose() on PCs who have left (OBJECT_INVALID), which means duping is easily possible.

 

 

 

Also, something else I've been wondering: what is the limit on variables stored on items?

 

I know storing many variables on a PC items will slowly slowly raise the BIC size, but is there a limit or really any observable effect to having too many variables stores on items?

 

Thanks to anyone willing to take a quick look!

I've discovered NWNX_Funcs which has a nice hook into leaving clients, so you can actually run things based on clients that are no longer there. Using this, I can now run StorageClose() on the PC who has left, and not run into any issues with the DB not saving.

Everything seems to be running smoothly so far, this database stuff really isn't so scary once you get used to it a little.

 

I'm still curious though, whether there's a limit to PC Item databases? I'm wondering if I should worry about transferring that type of storage to a DB.

IIRC the max reasonable number of variables per object is around 5000, not entirely sure though.

 

I have also used MySQL for storage (among several other things) in the past and I don't recall having met any kind of limit. I personally prefer MySQL over the bioware DB since the latter is a bit less flexible and needs to be periodically cleaned.
