Yes, it is free. You can download it from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html and install it on your personal computer. You can also find free sites that grant SQL databases.

It should tell you everything you need to know on the site. I have never used MySQL on localhost before so I am not sure how to set it up.

after you download mysql, the database is yours, you configure it, you dont have to register, you can mess with it as much as you like

how do i connect the mysql from my computer to my server? should i enter the ip of my computer to the wc3ft.cfg?

is your server and mysql on the same machine?
you set these in war3ft.cfg
FT_sql_host "127.0.0.1" // Host Name
FT_sql_user "root" // User Name
FT_sql_pass "" // Password
FT_sql_db "" // Database Name

Yes, MySQL needs to be always running for it to work.
The host is your external IP.
The user is the user you created.
The pass is the password your user has.
The db is the database you created to store the xp

I found a provider. After I get the account, do I have to do anything before I can start saving data onto it?

Yes, you need to set up the cvars.
The host is provided by the provider.
The user is the user you created.
The pass is the password your user has.
The db is the database you created to store the xp

is there a way to transfer my alrdy existing information from nvault to mysql?
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 2:17 pm
by YamiKaitou
If you don't mind doing it manually. nVault files are in binary format, so you need something to read them if you do it manually
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:34 pm
by rasechi
where is the nVault file? and what's a program that can read binary?
