You'd know if you looked at the files that came with WCFT. I think you have to put :
sv_savexp 1
in your Server.cfg

i was thinking of saving it using mysql. the help file that comes with the wc3 doesnt say anything about that though. thought perhaps someone on here might know. if you do, post here and let me know. right now i just have short xp on

look for this code in the "war3FT.cfg" and use appropriate values.

Code:

// MySQL configuration
FT_mysql_host "127.0.0.1"		// Host Name
FT_mysql_user "user"			// User Name
FT_mysql_pass "pass"			// Password
FT_mysql_db "DB"			// Database Name
sv_mysql_auto_pruning 1			// Automatically prunes the database of old users at a mapchange occuring between 5:36 to 5:59 AM (default is 0, doesn't work for vault)
sv_daysbeforedelete 21			// However many days before deleting XP or pruning from MySQL database (default is 31)
sv_mysqltablename "war3users"		// Table Name, no need to change (default is war3users)
sv_mysql_save_end_round 0

what would i put for host? is that just my IP address?

actually, it seems it is easier to just use a vault, though im still not sure on how to set that up, can anyone give me some help on this one?

it will automatically create vault for you. the mysql thing has to have a mysql server to connect to. so yeah just use vault.

ok thanks. just one more little thing, the xp saves and all to the vault but when you first join the server and the race menu comes up it says all the races have 0 xp when in fact there is xp for the races that you should have it on. not too big of a deal, but it would be nice to have it show the correct amount. if you go to changerace after you choose your race that first time it shows the correct XP though. could i just have the order wrong for some config files or something?

ok, i was just playing on it and it seems that the changerace menu only displays the XP for the current race you have chosen. got any fixes?
