Ok,
i'm trying to make an online game. The server is on my PC, and i want to know how to make some sort of server-side ini which will store names of players, their passwords etc.
What i want, is in my game people can create a new acount/login with an existing one, and send their login detials to the server, which then responds. i also want to know how to make it so you can recieve some sort of 'message of the day' from the server, like when you connect to the server in the game.
please, any help would be much apreciated :/

I really need to know the answer to this question. How do we get server-side inis to work?
Matt K - Do you have mooclick, that has a Message of the day function, I think.

I'm not sure how it works in moo2, but in mooclick you send values on a channel to change players position, etc.
But for saving people's usernames, stats, etc. I have no idea Server-Side Inis? Or is there a way to get data from an online database back to the app?

In MooClick you have to use an ini, then a special channel or command to tell your Server App to save it and how to.
No idea for Moo2.

Extended version of Kramy's:
You have your client and your server programs.
Client:
On press enter - Send string to server = "create ini"
Server:
on recieve msg from client - create ini file in C:\game\users\
+msg = "create ini"
----------
Basically, from the client you send the data to the server telling the server what you want created. For a username\password type thing:
Client:
Send textbox(username).text
Send textbox(password).text
Server:
On recieve username & Pass - Open (username sent from client).ini
Password = password in ini file - Send string to client = "Login Successful"

no you don't have to host your own server to do serverside imi's if you have moogame/moo2 they are built in and you can use them from the extension itself. if you don't have either of those extensions then you would need to host your own server or at least no of one that let you use some custom commands.

You need a server to host your own server side inis, and you don't need them for imis as Justin said. But the advantage of hosting it yourself is, you can edit all the things in the ini files and it's alot more secure than an imi file.
Personally I wouldn't use a imi, but it would be costly to host your own server. So it's based on what your willing to do.
