How to get a buffer's buffs from xml instead of DB?!

[sponer]

Hello guys

I am about to create a new buffer for High Five (latest trunk stable version).
So my plan is to make a java script buffer (just to prevent things like Heal during in pvp etc.).
It's a html-based buffer (except heal, auto buff and remove buffs).
So what i want to do, is to place all the buffer's buffs, into an xml file because i don't want to give a database usage to this because it shall perform really badly. (imagine a server with 100+ players that they are gettings buffs whole time... hard traffic.)

So i want to make 3-4 xml files (all buffs, fighter buffs, mage buffs, archer buffs etc.) and get the buffs from there instead of the database... Do you guys know how can i do that? Actually i want to tell me how exactly can i make it in java and in html files (bypass -h npc_%ObjectId%........) to read from this xml file and how am i suppossed to write the xml file to get the informations inside?

I would really appreciate your help... <3


EDIT:
I have made it with .xsd, .xml files and with the java part that is getting these infos... my problem now is...
What call i have to put in html file to give a buff and what code should i place here:

Code: Select all

case "AutoBuffs":{        if (ValidateUse(player))        {               // TODO: Add Auto Buffs        }        break; }

in case to get the buffs I want?

Hello, first is it gonna be scheme buffer or just presets and hand pick from list? Without scheme buffs a server nowadays is shouted to be N0obs.

If scheme buffer then you need the database. Also if you don't want to access db for each person to get the auto-buffs, then on the first access you store it in memory (the list, because you would store it from xml in memory anyway).

To read XML, check server core when it parses xml for skills etc.

Unfortunately i have to disaggree with you sir.
servers without a scheme buffer are not these "noob" servers...
my plan is to put 4-5 auto buffs (like fighter, mage, evasion, dagger, tank etc.)
so the players doesn't need to create a scheme... if the auto buffs doesn't meet their requirments... they can easily add the buffs they want... (1-4 extra buffs...) so it's kinda good and database-less

whatever.. I know i will store it in memory but i want to get these buffs from a custom xml with my buff's id and level..

Sorry bro but this is an unrelated topic...
I can't find a way to get the buffs from the xml file and give the buffs to players..
I remind you that the buffer will have auto buffs (the buffs i want to give in auto buffs)
and 1 by 1 buffs that the html will get the buff id and level and will give it to the player...
