Looks like /data/ArenaItems.json isnt saving...

Steen -

Love the plug in - couldn't get it to save without modifying the code.  I added a call to SaveData() after additems - but this is just a work around to keep me from having to reload the mod to save the data!  No rush - love this and of course BotSpawn which I've been using forever it seems.

 

Hi ManMarc.

Thanks for buying, and for the kind words.

You're right, it only saves to file when it unloads.
Any data you've added is in live memory, though, and all editing should be done through UI, so it shouldn't matter.

Is there a reason you need the data committed to file straight away?

just obsessed with making sure the data is saved I suppose.  I'm also getting a feel for where and how i want to use - so I'm making global changes - like i decided that 30 sec isnt ok but 300s feels right.  yes im hacking the data file - cant help myself.  Trusting everything to work great and hence not getting a commit makes me feel like the data is volatile - which makes me nervous.  Which is all whatever - i know - but here's the real reason - I'm testing on a test server and want to make sure i have a commit before moving the /config and /data files over to prod.   That sounds like a for real reason - i knew it was in there somewhere!

 

One more thought - would you consider changing the /arenaitems to /ai  its mucho easier.

Hey, I can understand that.

I don't want to make the data file commit every time the user makes a change - it's just overkill - but I can add a /ai save command.

I'll also add chat alias option, like PlayerRanks and InfoScreens so users can add their own custom command, like "ai".

 

Pleasure! Glad you're enjoying it.
