||unity-dev|| Persistent Attributes

Hi Drew,

Persistent room attributes are stored at the time a room is shutdown which I
know is not ideal.  This means you will lose attributes if the server
crashes while a room is still live.  All Attributes are stored in a table
called Attributes.

Rooms will only be persisted if the server has been configured as per the
instructions here:

http://www.moock.org/unity/docs/server/mysqlap.html

Whether or not a room is shutdown because it is empty or is shutdown by
request should not matter and persistent attributes should be stored.
Persistent attributes will not be stored for Rooms that are created without
specifying a name (i.e. where the server just assigns an incremental room
name).

Hope that helps.  If you have set up persistence and cannot successfuly
store persistent attributes for a named room please let me know.

*Hi,

I am wondering if persistent room attributes are stored on the database
anywhere - I can't seem to find them anywhere from phpmyadmin. I can
only really see them from uAdmin. Does that mean that persistent room
attributes only persist for rooms that are set not to dieOnEmpty? I have
been trying to get a persistent room attribute to persist through a
server restart (as client attributes do) and also in rooms that are set
to die when empty, but have not been able to do either. Where do the
persistent room attributes 'live' on the db/server?

Thanks.
