Title: Saving data into a mysql database? Possiable?
Post by: Chris! on November 27, 2007, 03:24:04 AM
Ok im wondering is there anyway to make the scripts save games and data to a mysql database? Im using RPG XP PK. Yes i know all about PK and legal issues. Just wondering if it is possiable?

Yes it is possible.
It will most certainly be very tedious since you will have to write the storage functions from scratch or overwrite the serialization functions to have it stored efficiently. Even if you don't care about having the save games stored efficiently it will still be very tedious unless you can do a nifty trick with some Marshalling.

It is possible, but I doubt you will get any scripters to do it unless you pay them. Even then it might be difficult getting scripters to do it.
Basically it is theoretically possible while being practically infeasible, that is my guess. I could naturally be wrong. Let's not exclude that option ^_^
