Reading/Writing String

Marcus101RR · **Author**

I am trying to read a string by getting each character one by one. The saved data is binary, 1 and 0, representing true or false basically. The saving portion seems to work, but if someone has a better method than the one used, sure i'll take it.

Meanwhile, when I rejoin the game and successfully load, the Loading portion of the code below should activate, it does, but the method I am using to read the Binary String is not working...so I'm at an impass...

PHP Code:


			
/* Save To File */
ClientSaveToFileSave(targetid)
{
    if(iSaveFeature[targetid] == 0)
        return;

    decl Handle:DataValue;
    decl String:cName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    DataValue = CreateKeyValues("SurvivorUpgradesReloaded");
    FileToKeyValues(DataValue, SavePath);

    if(IsFakeClient(targetid))
        GetClientName(targetid, cName, sizeof(cName));
    else
        GetClientAuthString(targetid, cName, sizeof(cName));

    KvJumpToKey(DataValue, cName, true);
    decl String:buffer[512], String:iBitVec[42], String:iDisabled[42];

    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Save Feature");
    KvSetNum(DataValue, buffer, iSaveFeature[targetid]);

    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_UPGRADES; i++)
    {
        if(i == 0)
        {
            if(iUpgrade[targetid][i] > 0)
                Format(iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec), "1");
            else
                Format(iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec), "0");

            if(iUpgradeDisabled[targetid][i] > 0)
                Format(iDisabled, sizeof(iDisabled), "1");
            else
                Format(iDisabled, sizeof(iDisabled), "0");
        }
        else
        {
            if(iUpgrade[targetid][i] > 0)
                Format(iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec), "%s1", iBitVec);
            else
                Format(iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec), "%s0", iBitVec);

            if(iUpgradeDisabled[targetid][i] > 0)
                Format(iDisabled, sizeof(iDisabled), "%s1", iDisabled);
            else
                Format(iDisabled, sizeof(iDisabled), "%s0", iDisabled);
        }
        }

    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Disabled");
    KvSetString(DataValue, buffer, iDisabled);

    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "iBitVec");
    KvSetString(DataValue, buffer, iBitVec);

    KvRewind(DataValue);
    KeyValuesToFile(DataValue, SavePath);
    CloseHandle(DataValue);
}

/* Load Save From File */
ClientSaveToFileLoad(targetid)
{
    decl Handle:DataValue;
    decl String:cName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    DataValue = CreateKeyValues("SurvivorUpgradesReloaded");
    FileToKeyValues(DataValue, SavePath);

    if(IsFakeClient(targetid))
        GetClientName(targetid, cName, sizeof(cName));
    else
        GetClientAuthString(targetid, cName, sizeof(cName));    

    KvJumpToKey(DataValue, cName, true);

    decl String:buffer[512], String:iBitVec[42], String:iDisabled[42];
    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Save Feature");
    iSaveFeature[targetid] = KvGetNum(DataValue, buffer, 0);

    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "iBitVec");
    KvGetString(DataValue, buffer, iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec));

    new len = strlen(iBitVec);
    for(new i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
        if(StrEqual(iBitVec[i], "1", false))
            iUpgrade[targetid][i-1] = UpgradeIndex[i-1];
            //iUpgradeDisabled[targetid][n-1] = 1;
    }

    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Disabled");
    KvGetString(DataValue, buffer, iDisabled, sizeof(iDisabled));    

    CloseHandle(DataValue);
}

May i ask why you aren't using something like clientprefs?

Never used it, the Wiki is not very descriptive of how to use it with what I need. I'll try it out, where is the file stored? This only stored one value, I need about 40 of them...So I have to create 40 cookies...-_-

Well, you can format a cookie to fit several values. I'm not sure about 40 tho.

Can you explain what are you doing here?

PHP Code:


			
KvGetString(DataValue, buffer, iBitVec, sizeof(iBitVec));

new len = strlen(iBitVec);
for(new i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
    if(StrEqual(iBitVec[i], "1", false))
        iUpgrade[targetid][i-1] = UpgradeIndex[i-1];
        //iUpgradeDisabled[targetid][n-1] = 1;
}

iBitVec is a string, but why are you using StrEqual to compare a char? And what if [i-1] will trigger with i == 0?

        iUpgrade[targetid][i-1] = UpgradeIndex[i-1];

        //iUpgradeDisabled[targetid][n-1] = 1;

}

I am cycling through each character of the iBitVec string, since there are 40 upgrades, there are 40 characters either being 0 or 1, and so, i need to check each one and set their upgrades back.

You could look at Skyy's rpg plugin, I think he does something similar and puts it into sql.

I rather use SQLite, and problem is, that would require me to learn SQLite Commands and recode it there too. I would do it however.

Everytime it saves, it saves as a number when it should be a string with 000100010010110000

PHP Code:


			
MySQL_Init()
{    
    decl String:Error[192];

    hDatabase = SQLite_UseDatabase("SurvivorUpgradesReloaded", Error, sizeof(Error));
    
    if(hDatabase == INVALID_HANDLE)

    SQL_FastQuery(hDatabase, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS accounts (steamid TEXT PRIMARY KEY, savemode SMALLINT, notifications SMALLINT, upgrades_binary CHAR(40), disabled_binary CHAR(40));");
}

    decl String:TQuery[3000], String:SteamID[64], String:UpgradeBinary[64], String:DisabledBinary[64];


    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_UPGRADES; i++)
    {
        if(i == 0)
        {
            if(iUpgrade[client][i] > 0)
                Format(UpgradeBinary, sizeof(UpgradeBinary), "1");
            else
                Format(UpgradeBinary, sizeof(UpgradeBinary), "0");

            if(iUpgradeDisabled[client][i] > 0)
                Format(DisabledBinary, sizeof(DisabledBinary), "1");
            else
                Format(DisabledBinary, sizeof(DisabledBinary), "0");
        }
        else
        {

            else

    }

    SQL_TQuery(hDatabase, LoadPlayerData, TQuery, client);
}

public LoadPlayerData(Handle:owner, Handle:hndl, const String:error[], any:client)
{
    if(hndl == INVALID_HANDLE || SQL_GetRowCount(hndl) == 0)
    {
        return;
    }

    decl String:UpgradeBinary[64], String:DisabledBinary[64];

    iSaveFeature[client] = SQL_FetchInt(hndl, 1);

    SQL_FetchString(hndl, 3, UpgradeBinary, sizeof(UpgradeBinary));
    SQL_FetchString(hndl, 4, DisabledBinary, sizeof(DisabledBinary));
