It does? Bah, not like I really care. I'm actually kind of happy of it. What if an exploiters decides to put a script in your game that fills up the data of every player? There's no way at all to clean it unless you know the name of each key.

I hate how there's no way to get a list of all the keys that are used.

Derpster, you say that as if it's *their* garage...

Anywho, I've had this happen a little bit, but it seems to be rare, yet common enough such that it's annoying.
A key list would be great, or a table *like the original DP idea* that would be 'published.'

Julien, that's not possible. DP is server-side. An exploiter shouldn't be able to execute server-side code.

Don't say impossible Sorcus. Someone will find a way. Free model virus's, inserting stuff you own/stuff in a SET you own.

Its not possible, unless you are just dumb and have a virus as one of your models. If its possible any other way, I will give you a cookie. Deal?

T_T

so anyway

If we're throwing things like GetKeyList around, support. Though it sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to make yourself, assuming you use global functions for all saves.

I think DP might be wiped when a server crashes

I'm having this problem, too.. :/ Players build a huge group project that takes them four days, it gets erased. Players spend twelve months building up their army, it's all gone and they go kill themselves.

@1waffle1:

you share my pain

With casual (most of this forum, esp. the guy who just said "personal servers", LOL) players, they rarely player so there's less chance of it getting wiped

With more serious places not only do the players visit more, but it's worse for them when it does get wiped

=

not very happy customers

"Julien, that's not possible. DP is server-side. An exploiter shouldn't be able to execute server-side code."

What stops them from creating scripts? What stops them from inserting one using the insert service? Even if both of these wouldn't work because the scripts wouldn't be replicated to the server, couldn't they edit the source of an existing script?

If they're able to award themselves badges, even though only the server can do it, then they can set DP too.

And anyways, I still want a method to get a list of the keys or something. I want to be able to clear the old data of my places before.

I don't want to be unable to save data to a player just because there are useless keys that I don't even know about.

Anyway, I bet they erase when you go over the DP limit. I bet that's it. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
