Npc Saver

[sonny11]

hello, since tfs only saves 1 time a day
that means if im not around and it crashes sometimes people lose 10lvls
so is there any npc that saves every 5-10mins
ive seen some but they are confusing and the 1 i have already doesnt even save it

Use

!save "60

for example and server will be saving every 60 seconds

 

[Kayan]

!save "60

Save each 60 mins

!save "1

Is each 1 min our 60 seconds

 

[Colandus]

saveDelay = 10 * 60 * 1000 -- 10 minutes for each save.
storageValue = 2342

if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == -1) then
    function save(saveDelay)
        saveData()
        addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    end
    addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, 1)
end

Try adding that in global.lua, if it fucks up, then try adding it in actions.lua in actions/lib but keep the saveDelay in global.lua

I also THINK that in newest TFS it's not savePlayers, it's maybe like saveFiles or something like that. Code not tested, but this should work.

The global storage value is added so when you reload global.lua or so, that will not be reloaded. Without the global storage value, if you would have reloaded global.lua it would delay the save extra 10 minutes ^.-

change

savePlayers()

to

saveData()

As I thought, just couldn't figure the new name ;P

 

[sonny11]

i change !save to /save much easier for me and my staff

anyway i do /save "5 << which means 5 mins rite it dont work

 

[Colandus]

You could probably read my post?

 

[sonny11]

sry
anyways where abouts shud i add ur code in global.lua????

 

[Colandus]

At bottom if you feel that's best. If it gives you errors, try putting it in data/actions/lib/actions.lua instead.

 

[sonny11]

server opened with no errors
presuming its working but gna shutdown the server without me saying /save
and im going to a differrent part of my map to test it i will reply in about 5 minutes with the answer ty colandus

Just tested it using the latest rev, and it works perfect. just add the code to the bottom of your global.lua

I added some code to the source so i could see when it saved.

REP+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

<3

huh never knew it says
[23/02/2008 19:21:24] > > > > > > > Players saved < < < < < < <

i dont think it does for me or did u add something?

im using the console
not the gui

 

[Sniperfox]

Like i said in my previous post, i added some code to the source.
If you want the same thing then do the following:
In game.cpp after

    g_bans.saveBans();
    map->saveMap();

add

    std::cout << "> > > > > > > Players saved < < < < < < <" << std::endl;

 

[sonny11]

na i cant compile, it screws up eery time i try ive tryed all the tutorials too, it would be very helpful if you gave me your .exe that would be very helpful and nice

That's just waste? Why not just place that in the script i made.

saveDelay = 10 * 60 * 1000 -- 10 minutes for each save.
storageValue = 2342

if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == -1) then
    function save(saveDelay)
        saveData()
        print(">>>>PLAYERS SAVED<<<<")
        addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    end
    addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, 1)
end

If you wanted it to write to a file, just use io.write... http://www.lua.org/pil/21.1.html


Glad it works

 

[sonny11]

ty colandus >>>players saved<<< works xD

REP++ u rock

 

[Colandus]

Update:

saveDelay = 10 * 60 * 1000 -- 10 minutes for each save.
storageValue = 2342
saveFile = {folder="logs/", filename="saves.txt", text="Server save...", saveLog=true}

if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == -1) then
    function save(saveDelay)
        saveData()
        print(saveFile.text)
        local saveFile = {folder="logs/", filename="saves.txt", text="Server save...", saveLog=true, linesMax=1000}
        if (saveFile.saveLog == true) then
            local lines = 0
            for _ in io.lines(saveFile.folder .. saveFile.filename) do
                lines = lines+1
            end
            local file = io.open(saveFile.folder .. saveFile.filename, (lines < linesMax-1 and "a") or "w")
            file:write("[" .. os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") .. "] " .. saveFile.text .. "\n")
            file:close()
        end
        addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    end
    addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, 1)
end

Now it's written to a log when it saved, quite unnecessary but anyways xD

It resets at 1000 saves

 

[sonny11]

smmoooooooooooooooth
nice tht it resets after 1000 saves but i save every 7 mins and my server is like 20/7

i like ur 1st script easy too see in console nice too see you update it

 

[Colandus]

You still see in the console But I know it's not very usefull to see in a logg when it's saved, since you already know when it is saved xD
