bypassing internal.db

[Xabache]

When a user logs into my server those user names and passwords are stored in a file called server\mods\deathmatchinternal.db which i suspect is a stock mta function.

server-side getAccount(user,pass) retrieves my information with their user pass data?

server-side logIn (source, account, password) matches their data to mine in internal.db and lets them login?

I want to bypass this entirely and record their user name and password/password to my own xml system which once matched will log them in

This is the server side handler which i believe serves both functions of recording and retrieval, can I, how do i store their user and pass data to my own xml system?

            if ( account ~= false ) then

Hy Xabache,

i did it this way:

The login function checks for username and password in my own database and on success I create a new account for the internal (addAccount) and log him in (logIn).

If the player quits, I always delete the account (removeAccount). So the Account is just temporary for the active session.

All based on his Playername.

Same to the register function. I don't create any account, until he logs in.

Additionally you can put the player in the right ACL Group, if you have different ones.
