What is the advantage of using a "name" along with the "key" rather than formatting all of the data into one to save it, and then breaking it apart to use it.
Also, what about just formatting the "name" and "key" into one key?

It reduces read/write times when there is a lot of data saved.

Also, some config files plugins use have a format similar to this where it is broken down into subcategories.

Re: New File Vault - A newer file vault system!

If the server crash, you lose all data -.-

GJ Emp... in this moment i don't need to use this but sure i will use it in another time. I like your tutorials.

nfv_prune(const key[], const start=-1, const end=-1);

Touching ~~Little Boys~~ Data

Vault: Not Capable
NVault:

Code:

nvault_touch(vault, const key[], timestamp=-1);
FVault: Not Capable
NFVault:

PHP Code:

nfv_touch(const filename[], const new_time=-1);

FVault actually has these capabilities now.

The differences now is the way that the keys work.
Yours, you can have a name and a key, such as this:

Code:

new szFilename[ 128 ];
copy( szFilename, 127, nfv_file( "some_mod.txt" ) );

new szAuthid[ 35 ];
get_user_authid( client, szAuthid, 34 );

new szData[ 16 ];

// save
num_to_str( get_user_frags( client ), szData, 15 );
nfv_set_data( szFilename, szAuthid, "frags", szData );

num_to_str( get_user_deaths( client ), szData, 15 );
nfv_set_data( szFilename, szAuthid, "deaths", szData );

// load
nfv_get_data( szFilename, szAuthid, "frags", szData, 15 );
new iFrags = str_to_num( szData );

nfv_get_data( szFilename, szAuthid, "deaths", szData, 15 );
new iDeaths = str_to_num( szData );

Whereas mine would be:

Code:

new const szVaultName[ ] = "some_mod";

new szAuthid[ 35 ];
get_user_authid( client, szAuthid, 34 );

new szData[ 32 ];

// save
formatex( szData, 31, "%i %i", get_user_frags( client ), get_user_deaths( client ) );
fvault_set_data( szVaultName, szAuthid, szData );

// load
new szFrags[ 16 ], szDeaths[ 16 ];
fvault_get_data( szVaultName, szAuthid, szData, 31 );
parse( szData, szFrags, 15, szDeaths, 15 );
new iFrags = str_to_num( szFrags );
new iDeaths = str_to_num( szDeaths );

Re: New File Vault - A newer file vault system!

I wish someone made a simple SQLite Vault.

Re: New File Vault - A newer file vault system!

It's already made? AMXMODX base pack have sqlite, just make a tuple with null server/name/password then use the same syntaxes as MySQL.

Re: New File Vault - A newer file vault system!

It would be easier to just do sqlite_[save|load]. I suck at SQL. It never works for me.

I agree and second this idea\request. A module that does SQL transactions with the ease of nvault-esque commands. I may start trying to put something together for this.

Re: New File Vault - A newer file vault system!

Changes on new update:

Added several "advanced" functions
Added tagged functions for easier saving
Added several tagged player functions
Added extra string functions
Changed param overwrite to a bitsum of properties
"get" functions now have extra params for seeking and finding
Wildcard constant for key and name lets it detect anything
"get" functions have extra params for copying when Wildcard is used
Data will by default clean itself of "s by putting a temporary replacement character. (Retrieving data will put "s back in)

Attaching old version below for backup reasons. See first post for new version.
