Ha! I must be tired. Thank you for spotting that out for me. Am quite embarrassed id post this to find its a spelling error.

Hi, sorry to once again bother you all. I am having an error, to a problem that once before, wasn't. To my last thread i was able to print out a value from the database to the chatbox easily. Now i get CODE http://i50.tinypic.com/21yk9h.png (The image is too wide.) What Appears to be wrong?

Better then what i had seen with dbQuery for sure. Thank you. Probably my last question for anything toward my Login System. @JR10 i gave it all a look through when you posted it for me before (mostly post 2), thank you for assuring SQL was a good idea.

For a day now i have been reading tutorials from this site on sending data to a data base. I have figured out how to create and update data, but not a clue on how to get data and print it to the console (to insure i have the data) Would anyone happen to have a small snippet on how to get a name from a table in a database? Or a link to how to?

I did, i wasn't sure what post i was suppose to pay close attention to. Thank you.

Probably the best response all day about SQL is that link as i have been looking for tutorials. You have me convinced, thank you for your response. What would i need to download to use SQL? What would you recommend One more question, I see two types of functions, Do they work together, or can i use either/or (db and execute)

I have considered the options you have all given me, and still am however. How much slower would it be if i had used my original idea? With high upload bandwidth and 10,000rpm 1tb drive to store information?

It wouldnt be too much slower tho, probably 2 - 3 seconds of time to load the information, insure the user exists, and set the users equipment, username, position, etc

Would my original idea be slower?

Thank you for your response

All i would need to know are those functions? Would they be all i need for saving user login and information?

Where would i learn all id need to know about mySQL to use it with MTA

ill look into that

I need some opinions, I had an idea to store user information, in a per file format. Say a user called Foo with the password of bar creates an account, Store it as FILENAME Foo and within the file store the password bar. What is your opinion on this?

I see, so if its downloading directly from my server (my other computer) i would turn that option off. I will check for it, and if its turned on ill see how turning it off does.

Id also like to note, this only happens when i put that client.lua is a type = client. When i remove the type = client in the meta.xml file, the CRC error goes away.

Hi, thank you all for your responses. Server, Not sure if using one of my computers as an internet server would count? Sounds a lot like it would work. I will try this, if it does not work i will report back for further suggestions. Understood, as posted in the pic provided above it is what i have done.

Hello, http://i47.tinypic.com/2hdmis2.png Since the image is big, i will keep it as a link. I have made a script called client.lua and named it in my meta file. As seen in the image these files are where i believe they should be, however. I had changed my meta.xml file, at the line where i describe client.lua file. When i had changed it from to And no i get the CRC Mismatch Error. I have tried deleting, refreshing, replacing and none of which seem to have worked. Any suggestions? If anymore information is needed ill provide on request. I have read the fixes to the past posts on this forum, some of which claim the error to be a "host problem" but do not explain the fix as far as i have read.

That is fine, ill adapt to the use of it. Thank you very much.

Thank you for responding, That looks very useful for what i need. However, it being client side, will it still run as a server script? Id like for players to get on and see the NPC's and watch them move around, but not have their computers generate the Peds, rather my server do that instead.

I've done some reading, possibly not enough, on how i can get my (what ever piece of script it may be) to be triggered every frame. My current project involves getting a pedestrian to move on his/her own, using my AI script. I know what id like to do as the API given (to my surprise) lets me to and monitor ALOT of whats going on, which is great. My only problem, I have not found a way, to have my script (generates ped, watches ped and moves ped depending upon its AI script) called every frame tick, another question however would be, should it be every frame tick? A link to what you think answers my question, or suggestions are welcome. Thank you for reading. If you still do not understand my question id be more then happy to rephrase.
