Hello Guys,

I tried something for the last 3 hours.

The use of the buildpath() command.

But I dont know how to use it right.

I want to change the save dir of the config/save files of my roleplay plugin.

The code ist

PHP Code:

//Map Start:
public OnMapStart()
{

    //Saving:
    BuildPath(Path_SM, SavePath, 64, "data/roleplay/save.txt");
    if(FileExists(SavePath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", SavePath);

[...] 


All right.

I want to change the save dir from C:/Server/hl2mp/addons/sourcemod/data/roleplay
to
F:/www/test/data/roleplay

but how?

I tried

PHP Code:

 BuildPath(Path_None, SavePath, 64, "F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"); 


But I get an error on compiling



I also used

PHP Code:

BuildPath(Path_SM, SavePath, 64,  "file://F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"); 


But it didnt work.

If i start my server it says, file not found "sourcemod/file://F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"

I also tried

PHP Code:

BuildPath(Path_SM, SavePath, 64,  "../../../../F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"); 


But same problem, says, file not found "sourcemod/../../../../F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"

I also tried

PHP Code:

BuildPath(Path_SM, SavePath, 64,   "F:\www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"); 


But than I get an error on compileing, that the "\" is not allowed!

What could i do?

Please read the function documentation before attempting to use it.

Builds a path relative to the SourceMod folder. This should be used instead of directly referencing addons/sourcemod, in case users change the name of their folder layout.

You want OpenFile("file://F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt","w");

Thank you very much, for your reply but,

sry I dont understand the usage of the
OpenFile Command

I read this

PHP Code:

 native Handle:OpenFile(const String:file[], const String:mode[]); 


but I dont understand what "const" or "String:file[]," means.

Its the first time I am scripting.

But I need to set the dir (file://F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt) to the text

PHP Code:

if(FileExists(SavePath) 


SavePath I think, because if SavePath does not exist it bugs my whole scritp!
Because later there comes this

PHP Code:

//Store:
                KeyValuesToFile(SaveVault, SavePath); 


But dont know how to set

[p3tsin]

To give you a prod to the right direction:

PHP Code:

strcopy(SavePath,sizeof(SavePath),"file://F:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt"); 


You can forget about the OpenFile part since you'll be dealing with keyvalues.

I strongly suggest you read this before going any further though: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Introduction_to_SourcePawn

My momentally script is

PHP Code:

//Map Start:
public OnMapStart()
{

    //Saving:
    strcopy(SavePath,sizeof(SavePath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt");
    if(FileExists(SavePath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", SavePath);

    //Job DB:
    strcopy(JobPath,sizeof(JobPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/jobs.txt");
    if(FileExists(JobPath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", JobPath);

    //NPC DB:
    strcopy(NPCPath,sizeof(NPCPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/npcs.txt");
    if(FileExists(NPCPath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", NPCPath);

    //Config DB:
    strcopy(ConfigPath,sizeof(ConfigPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/config.txt");
    if(FileExists(ConfigPath) == false)SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", ConfigPath);
    
        //Lock DB:
        strcopy(LockPath,sizeof(LockPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/lock.txt");
        if(FileExists(LockPath) == false)SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", LockPath);

    //Config DB:
    strcopy(ItemPath,sizeof(ItemPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/items.txt");
    if(FileExists(ItemPath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", ItemPath);
    
    //Config DB:
        strcopy(DownloadPath,sizeof(DownloadPath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/download.txt");
        if(FileExists(DownloadPath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", DownloadPath);

    
    //Name DB:
    strcopy(NamePath,sizeof(NamePath),"P:/www/test/data/roleplay/names.txt");
    if(FileExists(NamePath) == false) PrintToConsole(0, "[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", NamePath);

    //Opened:
    //if(SaveVault != INVALID_HANDLE) CloseHandle(SaveVault);
    SaveVault = CreateKeyValues("Vault");
    if(!FileToKeyValues(SaveVault, SavePath)) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing File '%s'", SavePath);


    //Declare:
[...] 


The strcopy is working but it still didnt find the file.
(Dont worry about the F:/ I changed it to P:/)



€dit:

I also tried the script with

    //Saving:
     strcopy(SavePath,sizeof(SavePath),"file://P:/www/test/data/roleplay/save.txt");
    if(FileExists(SavePath) == false) SetFailState("[SM] ERROR: Missing  file '%s'", SavePath);

Still same problem

€dit2:

I also tried with C:/ without P:/

Still the same

€dit3:

Btw. what do I wanna do with this.

First, I want to make 2 RolePlay Servers on two diffrent Computers, but I dont know how to synchronize those two servers.
Over SQL it my work, but I have no skills in SQL etc.
So I tried to make an own Hard Disk over FTP for those Computers to synchronozie them.
That they use the same save/config files so, that players can join from server 1 to server 2 and have still the same money and appartments etc.

But if you could help me with SQL it might be good as well, but I think over a Hard Disk via FTP it could be some easier

I assume P: is a network drive. This is just a guess but I think SourceMod can only access local drives. And even if it was local, FileToKeyValues is using valve's filesystem and that doesn't support literal paths.

You should seriously consider using SQL instead. Take a look at the tutorial in the wiki and other plugins using SQL. Its not that complex.
