Saving Player Data Problem

[ArmedGuy]

Ok so Im Trying To Make a Script Where Players Data Gets Saved When They Leave Server and Their Data Gets Loaded When They login to an xml file...

I Got The Whole Script Working Exept One Thing.

When the server or the gamemode restarts the script cant find the xml file if something is saved in the playerstats.xml...

heres the .lua

local saveFile = xmlLoadFile ("playerstats.xml")
 
 
function onPlayerQuit ( source )
outputChatBox( "Saving Data", source )
if ( saveFile ) then
local subnode = xmlFindSubNode( saveFile, "users", 0 )
local playeraccount = getClientName ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local stats = xmlFindSubNode( subnode, "user."..playeraccount, 0  )
if ( stats ) then
local subnodemoney = xmlFindSubNode( stats, "money", 0 )
local subnodeskin = xmlFindSubNode( stats, "skin", 0 )
local playermoney = getPlayerMoney ( source )
local playerskin = getPlayerSkin ( source )
local money = xmlNodeSetValue( subnodemoney, ""..playermoney )
local skin = xmlNodeSetValue( subnodeskin, ""..playerskin )
xmlSaveFile ( saveFile )
end
end
else
outputChatBox("File Not Found", source )
end
end
function onPlayerJoin ( source )
outputChatBox("Loading Acc...", source )
if ( saveFile ) then
local playeraccount = getClientName ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local subnode = xmlFindSubNode ( saveFile, "users", 0 )
local stats = xmlFindSubNode ( subnode, "user."..playeraccount, 0 )
if ( stats ) then
local subnodemoney = xmlFindSubNode( stats, "money", 0 )
local subnodeskin = xmlFindSubNode( stats, "skin", 0 )
local playermoney = xmlNodeGetValue ( subnodemoney )
local playerskin = xmlNodeGetValue( subnodeskin )
if (( playermoney ) and ( playerskin )) then
setPlayerMoney ( source, playermoney )
setPlayerSkin ( source, playerskin )
 
end
else
local stats = xmlCreateSubNode( subnode, "user."..playeraccount )
local subnode2 = xmlFindSubNode( subnode, "user."..playeraccount, 0 )
local playermoney = xmlCreateSubNode( subnode2, "money" )
local playerskin = xmlCreateSubNode ( subnode2, "skin" )
xmlSaveFile ( saveFile )
end
end
else
outputChatBox("File Not Found", source )	
end
end
addCommandHandler("loadacc", onPlayerJoin )
 
addCommandHandler ( "saveacc", onPlayerQuit )

and the .xml

<playerstats>
  <users>
  </users>
</playerstats>

I seriously cant find the problem...

and it dosent even give me errors

i wanted to test your script but i got this:

Bad ' client' pointer @ 'getPlayerName ' <1>

[Gamesnert]

So wait, what's the problem? If you restart the resource, data doesn't get saved? Or if you restart the resource your XML file gets wiped? Or something else?

[ArmedGuy]

Nope... Gamesnert... When I Have The .xml complerly clean, like i have it here on the website, and start the resource everything works perfect. Players gets saved and loaded and all.

But when the server/the resource gets restarted, its like the script thats saves and loads player data cant find the .xml with the data. And the only way to fix that is to delete all players data inside the xml and restart the server.

And i have no clue why. And Argon... what version did u run it on?... i have DP 2.3( and also i dont have a getPlayerName inside the script, i have getClientName xDxD)

[xArgonx]

because it did some changes:

i wanted to let the script start onplayerjoin (instead of /loadacc) and onplayerquit (instead of /saveacc), but it doesn't work not data get saved and no data will load,

maybe because i get an error attempt to getPlayerName (also for getPlayerUserName and getPlayerSerial)

i don't know what to do...

getClientName is not a updated command, so i do not use it..
