Database

extDB3 support is available to advanced users, requirements are:

• SQL knowledge
• extDB3 knowledge
• An already setup database

If you don't have these, don't mind reading the following.

Required steps:

• First, open extDB3\@extDB3\extdb3-conf.ini and under [HG] these settings have to match your DB setup:

IP = 127.0.0.1
Port = 3306
Username = changeme
Password = changeme

• Move @extDB3 & extDB3\tbbmalloc.dll & extDB3\tbbmalloc_x64.dll to your Arma 3 root directory
• Open Database folder and run HG_SimpleShops.sql against your database
• To enable database saving open HG_Config.h find l.118:

savingMethod = "Profile";

savingMethod has to be set to "extDB"
extDBProtocol has to be either "SQL" (for raw sql) or "SQL_CUSTOM" (for prepared statements -> recommended)

savingMethod = "extDB";
extDBProtocol = "SQL_CUSTOM";

• Don't forget to add @extDB3 to your launch parameters!

Important

BattlEye will prevent extDB.dll from loading if you're hosting a server on your computer (in editor too)... so disable BattlEye in A3 launcher beforehand
