Very simple tutorial. I was testing my server on a P2(455Mhz) and it was veery lagued, but thats not the point. When I tried to create an account from my website account creation, it taked sooo long creating it, so I maded a veeery simple modification, and now it creates the account praticly instantly.
It just saves the player you are using(PlayerNum), so do this:
ONLY SERVER SIDE

modDatabase:
Sub SavePlayer:
Replace:

    For I = 1 To MAX_CHARS

with:

    For I = 1 To MAX_CHARS
        If Player(Index).CharNum = I Then

and replace:

Next I

with:

        End If
    Next I

This will make the server saves only the char you had played, and on the account creation, it will save only the account information(3 or 4 lines) xD
Simple and usefull.

I've got a question

Doesn't this:

Code:

For I = 1 To MAX_CHARS

Need to be

Code:

For I = 0 To MAX_CHARS

Doesn't your character list start at 0 and end at 2? Thus, it wont save if it's your first character in the list?

No. Actualy is realy from 1 to maxchars. The array is 1 to maxchars.

You could just make a new char assuming that the 1st is 0 then there will be no problems. even if it starts at 1 well 1 char slot less isnt gonna do much.

You need to change some part in sub ErasePlayer, by making Player(index).charnum = Char# to delete

else it will try to save Char = 0 ( aka none logged ) and wont delete it
