MySQL support for Torque Engine
by AIDan · in Torque Game Engine · 11/25/2001 (11:18 am) · 62 replies
Hi,
this is the first version of the MySQL support for the Torque Engine. It's a simple news script base on MySQL 1.7.1 database server.
We want to implement it directly in the SDK... may we?
Here are the screenshots and the script:

because of it's very early state I didn't post the source code because it hasn't been very tested, yet.
If you want, I'll mail you the code to take a look at it.

Looks very cool. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I hope to use it once you release it.

Very cool. My website uses MySQL, so this could be a very nice MOTD function, or internal news system for the game.I hope to use it once you release it.

okay, it's online.
It's a very basic version, but should be enough for nearly every mysql basic stuff.

This is using winsock, doesn't that restrict it to Windows only?

fi, what's required to do the install of your module ? Do we need to d/l & install mySQL ? or just your lib, sources & scripts ?
#11
What you need to do, is d/l the c++ files they created at fi, and integrate them into whatever development environment you are using.
You also need to d/l the library header files for the mysql library (as well as d/ling the library) and these can be found at fi's site. Make sure to register the directory with your mysql header files in your INCLUDE environment variable for vc++.
You must also edit the makefile, or project file, in order to provided the location to the mysql library that you d/l...
Lastly ;)...
You must make sure that the "libmysql.dll" file that comes with the library and header files is in the same directory as the torque executable.
i hope thats everything...
cheers

And to repeat what Pat Wilson asked, is this code limited to Windows?
#15
it works independent of the Torque Engine-version you're using.
It should work on MAC and Linux (of course), too.

Thanks for the opportunity to add MySQL support to torque projects btw =)..
Unfortunately im not a wizard with the C/C++ or the environments used to develop in (MSVC++6). Ive followed all of the instructions but i have no idea what the following three instructions mean:
add ../lib/mysql to your include path
add ../lib/mysql/lib to your lib search path
add libmysql.lib to additional libraries
Sorry to be a complete pain in the arse but after many attempts at getting the damn thing to go in ive given up and resorted to a plea for help =)..
Thanks

I don't get the point of adding mysql support directly into torque. Its not as if _everyone_ wants a database =)

No, but they can act as a client to a central server ;)
#20
Oh well, as long as you can turn the mysql off =)

Yes, but what if its an offline singleplayer game?Oh well, as long as you can turn the mysql off =)
