[Solved] Not sure if this is the place for this or not...

Post by Silent79 »

I was just looking at the code.fcraft.net site and was reading the recent update to the readme.txt file. I noticed on lines 128-129 .. think there should be a "not" in there somewhere.

Thank you for spotting! The readme ended up totally misleading without the "not."

No problem. I have been following your project for some time now. Very clean and well organized software you have here. I just really wish it had block tracking or I would definately use it. I built on Team9000's server for a while and absolutely fell in love with fCraft. Keep up the good work fragmer!

Thank you!

I tried implementing a file-based tracking solution, which ended up wasting way too much memory, CPU time, and diskspace. Now I will probably go with a database-based solution. The problem is - I don't want to force every fCraft server to set up MySQL, and SQLite has its own set of performance issues...

Anyways, block tracking is not totally abandoned, I will definitely return to finish it at some point.

I found this and thought I would share it with you. It lists an reviews the top 25 open source database engines. Might something in there worth checking out.

The main problem is not the database backend, but the middleware that allows using more than one database engine (e.g. a choice of MySQL or SQLite). I am currently looking at either DBLinq or BLToolkit for middleware.
