Domi Mission writing player info to DB (and missionsave etc) but NOT writing params.

[MSX-98]

Hello,

I have diagnosed everything I can, and tried using original domination mission files and re-done the database from scratch 3 times to no avail. I hope somebody could point me in the right direction.

So, short backstory; my mission is set up, Modded Takistan Domination (RHS, CUP, USAF mod), no errors in editor. A labour of love for the past 2-3 years. I am trying to put it on my home server to host it, I have hosted this mission before a few years back, though I didn't back up the database (didn't think I would need to). It worked fine then.

Now, when I try to set up the database, I follow the wiki word by word, and I can get it to work, sort of. It will save player information, mission saves etc to the database, but it will NOT write the mission parameters to the database. I've tried using the default missions provided in the download (fresh missions, untouched by me) and it still will not write these parameters to the DB.

I have tried using both extDB3 and InterceptDB (i prefer to use extDB3), neither seem to fix my problem.

I could go through the description.ext file and change everything manually although that will take too much time, translating options and text from placeholder text to english. I much prefer the DB as it stores more settings than just parameters, and player info.

Any ideas, maybe I am missing something?

Thanks :)

Does your RPT file or the server log show errors?

I have a similar error, I still don't know how to solve it. initially there were errors:

[14:02:57:530124 +05:00] [ Stream 6308] extDB3: blocked

Solved them by adding parameters:
[Main]
Version = 1
Randomize Config File = false
Allow Reset = false
Thread = 6

[Log]
Flush = true

[[Domination]]
Type = MariaDB
IP = 127.0.0.1
