deletefile()?

zokemon · #1 04-20-2007, 02:38 PM

It seems to be having problems deleting file(s) on the serverside.
The npc server has rights to them and I can successfully loadlines and savelines to/from the file(s) in question. I'm thinking maybe Stefan forgot to add support for this function when he added the npcserver rights security patch?

Anyone else experiencing such problems with this function?

On Zodiac Dev, it works Ã* mervaille.
[ may not have security patch, however ]

Instead of using load and savelines I would suggest load and save Vars. I'm not exactly sure if that would give you a different result but just something to try in case.

Dude, were you just trying to give Zero advise? A USELESS advise even so? Tsk, tsk, shame on you.

HTML Code:

  for (temp.levelData: this.toDelete)
  {
    if ((timevar2 - temp.levelData[1]) >= temp.levelData[2])
    {
      temp.filePath = "world/gsanddungeon/";
      temp.levelList.loadFolder("levels/" @ temp.filePath @ "*", 0);
      for (temp.currentLevel: temp.levelList)
      {
        if (temp.currentLevel.substring(12, 1) == temp.levelData[0])
        {
          echo("Deleted Level:" SPC temp.currentLevel);
          deleteFile(temp.currentLevel);
        }
      }
        
      //v_dungeons-cz3.nw
      this.toDelete.delete(this.toDelete.indices(temp.levelData));  
    }
  }

Yes, I have a problem with this! It should be deleting files, although it doesn't.

Hrm -- Maybe not quite.

I have been using loadVars and saveVars... But for some reason -- a while back -- when I used loadlines, the files that were saved using this didn't appear instantly onto the File Browser. With saveVars, it does. He may be onto something. I figured that saveVars called savelines; they may be two independent functions.

Zero -- Have you tried deleting it after you called /refreshfilelist ?

loadLines() and saveLines() are much diffrent then loadVars() and saveVars()

He asked for opinions/advice. There's no need for you to jump down my throat because I'm trying to be helpful to him.

What's your issue?

It's because he's threatened.

zokemon · #10 04-20-2007, 11:36 PM

Well I agree this is right that loadvars/savevars may not have the file browser update issue as loadlines/savelines does but that isn't the concern here. I simply pointed out that loadlines/savelines works for the sake that we know the npc server has rights to modify the files. But if it makes you all happy, loadvars and savevars works as well

I usually don't even mind about the problem with savelines not displaying the file in the file browser...Hey, it still exists ^_^

EDIT:
Oh, forgot you post Novo.
I didn't do exactly that but I have tried it with files that are visible in the file borwser as well as files that aren't.

If it didn't work, my suggestion would be to use the RC command:

/reloadscriptlibs

Tell us if the problem persists.

Why would I be threatened by someone I've helped to learn GS2? I was pointing out that instead of replying to Zero's question, he told him to use savevars instead of savelines, when it wasn't what Zero asked.

Can you guys please just drop it...
Stan I thank you for the suggestion (even if it wasn't what I needed) and I appoligize for what Ziro said.
Ziro, thank you for trying to be my friend and defend me but you don't need to attack other people.

(Trying to say that the best way without coming out as a **** to either of my friends)

Zero, in what folder is the files you are trying to delete? Because, deletefile() can't delete files in levels/ or any sub folders to it.

Oh really?
Well that is most likely the problem then. Bjorn made it levels/administration/
Sadly, he isn't online to fix that

Isn't there a function to access and delete files in the levels structure tho? I coulda sworn I saw one....

<3 :P But Ziro and I are friends as well.

The function not being able to delete files within the levels/ folder is a nice security measure.

However, it should be a serveroption if it isn't already.

Also, the fact that this function was implemented before the NPCServer rights were indicates that the security measure is obsolete.

Argue over AIM if you must, stop spamming the thread with your asinine remarks.

Kristi · #27 04-22-2007, 06:07 PM

Stop derailing the thread.
Someone already mentioned if it was in the levels folder, this file.

May we see the line you are using to delete it?

Well, I tried it in a completely different script on my own server (where I can control what folder the file is in) and this proved to be true. You can't delete files from the levels/ folder. Thanks!

I got over it.
There were more important things to consider. However, I do wonder what happened to my half-finished levels for the Zormite Castle. HINT HINT

It would help if you used quotes so people know exactly who you're responding to. And if you are responding to me, I remember that I had designed a long hallway with 3 areas branching off on each side, and all areas were usually a platform surrounded by a large amount of water.
