I'm currently using server-side IMIs. I know they aren't tje best but I don't know how to use the Data Store 2 object. Anytime I try make it save a file, it doesn't. Any ideas on what I should do? I need a good way of storing player info... Breathing? It's optional!

In which case, you can get it to store data in a normal INI on the server's hard disk. If you're using a Moo Server hosted by someone else, you may need to consider keeping some details on a separate server, and communicating them using MooSock or Live Receiver Object and PHP. That way, the Moo Server handles the sending and receiving of in-game data, and your own webserver works as a database. 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7

Edit: Found out that the problem is to do with Vista (apparently programs can't write to their install directory) Edited by the Author. Breathing? It's optional!
