Server not Saving $vars

[Z3R0]

hey guys!

I know, what's a mod doing asking for server support?

Well, unfortunately, I'm a scripting mod, and that's pretty much here I draw the line... (npc scripting that is)

in any case...

I have TXT server, the config file shows

// Mapserver permanent script variables ($-type)

mapreg_txt: save/mapreg.txt

so this should be right? right?

While doing a recording for Scripting for Dummies I came across the concept that for some reason my server was NOT storing $var and $var$ in this file...

I can move to SQL if preferred, but I like TXT because it loads faster...

thoughts? should I just give up and use an SQL installation? (I guess eventually I will have to, to show SQL in my Scripting for Dummies Lessons)

* Edit * Pulled Revision 14998 from the google-code SVN ...

Will not compile.... failing with limits.h from 3rd party... ?

Anyone have a sql server I can download from them ?? <33

Create a /save folder, and copy the contents of the /save-tmpl folder to it.

That's what i thought, but I have /save/ and all the files... all permission = full access...

I don't know, maybe it was a problem with the server vbrenth gave me... I modified it to use sql anyways (since my tutorial series will eventually be branching into the sql eventually) and everything worked fine... so either way, I'm good.

This is what I tested.

Script

1.Open server

2.Close server

3.Open server again.

(It seem server didn't saving it.)

4.Open server

5.Close map-server by typing @mapexit.

6.Close all.

7.success.

So maybe problem is on server saving delay.
