Event: Reload database from disk

by **antipasto** on Wed Sep 08, 2004 7:46 pm

This is an event that will provide the ability to reload a database from the .XML on disk. It would support modifications to databases done by plugins or external processes while XLobby is running.

Why with an event ??? I think it will be more interesting to do it automatically ! The only problem is that it takes time to load the databases...

It could be done automatically (Steven : System.IO.FileSystemWatcher) !

uploaded this for antipasto, but anyone else is welcome to try

it now checks the database files for changes, and updates if it sees the files last write time has changed.

I didn't know about System.IO.FileSystemWatcher, its pretty neat, but I didnt use it.

Anyone know if this ever made it into the mainline builds? Where in the event list would I find it?

I have an XML database that I've constructed outside of Xlobby, and I'd like Xlobby to reload it and pick up the changes when it's edited, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. Category/refresh does nothing, if there's an explicit reload somewhere that would be perfect.

Is this behaviour (automatic reload of dba) still in the current version?
If yes, does xlobby also refresh all categories associated with the dba?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
