Storing with serverr.

On Zodiac I use text files, and onLevelFileUpdated() to allow people to edit the news.

When the news text file is updated, I store an updated copy in Control NPC. I.e:

PHP Code:

// Player Logs in
// Send them the News
function onPlayerLogin(pl) {
  temp.news = findnpc("Control-NPC").news;
  pl.triggerclient("-YourNewsSystem", "thegoodword", temp.news);
}

// News is updated
function onLevelFileUpdated(filename) {
  if (filename == "news/news.txt") {
    findnpc("Control-NPC").news.loadlines("levels/" @ filename);
    updateEveryone();
  }
}

// Send Everyone the News
function updateEveryone() {
  temp.news = findnpc("Control-NPC").news;
  for (temp.a: allplayers) {
    temp.a.triggerclient("-YourNewsSystem", "thegoodword", temp.news);
  }
}

I always thought onLevelFileUpdated was only for files downloadable in game by the client, having seen that and confirmed that it does indeed work for any file uploaded this is going to make life a lot easier for certain things I wanted to make.
