I have this script with the jail when a player quits and they are jailed,

it creates something like this...

<Crook name="sss" serial="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" TimeLeft="149935"></Crook> 
        <Crook name="avc" serial="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" TimeLeft="152974"></Crook> 
        <Crook name="sccss" serial="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" TimeLeft="111436"></Crook>

try this

function saveData(player) 
        if getElementData ( player, "jailed" ) == true then 
            cur_jails = xmlFindChild ( jaildata, "CurrentJails", 0 ) 
            local crooks = xmlCreateChild ( cur_jails, "Crook" ) 
            local left, x, e = getTimerDetails ( runningTimers[source][newTabPos] ) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( crooks, "name", getPlayerName ( source ) ) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( crooks, "serial", getPlayerSerial ( source ) ) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( crooks, "TimeLeft", left ) 
            setElementData ( player, "jailed", false ) 
            killTimer ( runningTimers[source][newTabPos] ) 
            xmlSaveFile ( jaildata ) 
        end 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, saveData) 
    
loadedCrooks = {} 
  
function joinData() 
    local currentJails = xmlFindChild ( jaildata, "CurrentJails", 0 ) 
    local currentCrooks = xmlNodeGetChildren ( currentJails ) 
    if currentCrooks then 
        for i, crook in ipairs ( currentCrooks ) do 
            for name, value in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetAttributes ( crook ) ) do 
                outputChatBox ( name .. " = " .. value ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, joinData ) 

I sleep ..

You should define it each time an player quit/join to the server, because in the end of the event, you closing it with xmlSaveFile.

@ZL|LuCaS, onPlayerQuit don't have player parameter.

lol. and truth and I'm sleepy bye..

[Dice]

yes, but I never unload it, unless the resource stops, and if it starts it loads it. all its doing is saving it

Make sure the XML is on server side, otherwise the client can just edit his/her jail time. I recommend using MySQL or SQL, because XML can cause server lag, if the file contains to much data.

[Dice]

well, it is only for the people who quit once they got jailed, I dont think the number will be too high.
