Help With Savelines

[Switch]

How do i get savelines() to save in a specified folder.

PHP Code:

savelines("levels/folder/stuffs/stuff.ini",0); 


I want it to save in the folder "levels/folder/stuffs/" as "stuff.ini", but instead it goes to "stuff.ini" and saves it into scriptfiles/ folder. How do I get itinto that "levels/folder/stuffs/" folder?

Current code:

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){
  temp.array = new[2];
  temp.array[0] = "hi";
  temp.array[1]= "stuffs";
  temp.array.savelines("levels/sunnyville/mud/mystuff.ini",0);
}

You need to make sure the npc server has folder rights to w/e your saving to.
rw levels/folder/stuffs/*
rw levels/sunnyville/mud/*

I did

If it is saving the files to the scriptfiles folder, I'd say you didn't. Post your NPC-Server folder rights here.

NPC Code:

---

rw levels/esteria/mud/*

rw levels/mud/*

rw levels/sunnyville/mud/*

I commonly have this problem. It's really annoying.

Go in this order, and if it doesn't work, go down the line. If it works, stop.

1) Restart the npc-server
/npcshutdown and /npcstart ... never use /npckill

2) Change the rights to rw levels/sunnyville/mud/*.ini ... sometimes this will fix it. (ALSO: There are some file types you can't save as, but I'm pretty sure .ini is okay ... did you try .txt or .arc?)

3) Try saving in a different folder to see if that works.

4) Get a global to restart the gserver ... this is a last resort, but usually fixes it.

5) Go cry a river. (just kidding)


Also, this once fixed this for me ... change the 0 to false, so you have something like
arr.saveLines( "dir/dir2/dir3/file.ini", false );

Well I don't really know that after the , does, can you tell me?

Edit: None of them worked, not even the "False", anyway. Haven't tried getting a global to restart gserver yet. But still can you tell me what after the , does?

Whether to overwrite the file.

true appends, false replaces.

PHP Code:

temp.arr = { "foo" };
temp.arr.saveLines( "control/foo.txt", false ); 


Would replace whatever is in control/foo.txt with "foo".

PHP Code:

temp.arr = { "foo" };
temp.arr.saveLines( "control/foo.txt", true ); 


would simply add "foo" to the end of whatever was already in that file, or replace it if nothing.

Generally you want to replace, but for logs, append.

Yeah this is a mud so it's gonna replace.
But still, it won't work. And after I realised I've been changing the rights on npcserver instead of (npcserver) [lol ] I tried again, now it's not working AT ALL, not even to scriptfiles/

Silly duck, you need an object to actually parse the information to an ini file. I.E. An inifile object maybe and inikeys? o_O

Ah nevermind guys. After I found out and told you guys that I used npcserver instead of (npcserver) and it wasn't working, when I tried deleting it (in prep for changing it all to sunnyville instead of the combined) i noticed they were hidden. Thanks for the halp (Yes, I mean to say halp, DO NOT QUESTION ME!)

Edit: New error
The files always get hidden after being created in the folder it's supposed to go to. I always have to do /refreshfilelist to view them. Any suggestions?

This only tends to happen to me in levels/ subdirectories. If they're mud objects, get them out of levels/ anyway ...

I tend to get varying luck with this problem; sometimes it won't show them, but then the next few times after I refresh it may ...

Ah ok, thanks Chris

Also, how would I create it's own folder (main folder, like levels/ is a main folder)? I gace the NPC Server rights to it, put it in folderconfig as "file mud/*.txt" etc.... but it won't show as a main folder...

First, get it out of folder config. That's only for things in levels/

Next, add it to yourself and place a file in it. Make sure it's added to the NPC-Server, and it should be working fine.
