• How does one share data between servers?
    5 replies, posted
Like the title insinuates. I want to know how to share data not between client and server but between a database server and a game server. Server A would be A gmod gameserver running just about any gamemode with my addon. Server B would be A mysql server. Does anyone know how to go about this? I would like to know how to send orders from gmod -> mysql and to retrieve data from it. Why do I need this? I am working on a unique system to actively remove the undesireables from my servers. Basicly an anti-cheat / anti-minge/douchebag addon. The objective is when I ban a user I want that users information to be send to a mysql database. And I want other servers to be able to read that data when said users connects to my other server. Any examples on how to do this would be greatly apreciated. I know its possible because the clockwork framework does it. However I can not seem to find any data on how to do this. And please don't reply with "just use x plugin" such replies will only waste both our time.
One word: mysql. But you already know that. You just have to send queries from server A to B and in reverse, I think it can be done via mysqloo
I assume by mysqloo one means this?: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/933647-Gm_MySql-v1.0-OO-edition[/url] It might be something I could use but i'm not sure how. If i'm correct all I'd need to do is follow the installation instruction to allow the server lua to connect to the database. I assume every server to run my addon will require the same treatment.

-Snip, thought you meant communication between multiple GMod servers-
