No it's not go re-read it again

@Gamer_Z
If 30 players quit because of a crash then how are they going to reconnect within 30seconds?

fast enough pc's

if that's the case then your method would fail too, but there is an obvious over head of time that gta san andreas can load on any pc

Ah ok whatever xD Anyway my experience is that on a optimized by me pc, with an i7 , gtx 540 and DDR3 1600MHz ram on a x64 system it just takes 3 seconds to load up xD (+ ofcourse an 250 gig SSD, how I love my friends PC for tests... ;d)

That's what...$200+ for the cpu another $100 or more for the mobo...another $500 for the video card, another $50 or more for the ram...then throw on anywhere from $40+ for the PSU...That's already $890 for just that....You think everyone spends that much money on their PC? lol...Aside from that, 30 people that are going to load that fast is rare to find in SA-MP

If 30 people leave because of a crash they timeout, they don't quit. That method explicitly states it should be used for quits and kicks, not timeouts.

What I tried to explain is that if you make an array of X size you are limited to X size.
If you just make a DB with the SQLi functions that sa-mp has you can have 'unlimited' storage (well, VERY big) and still - very fast.

Or, you could just make a "MAX_PLAYERS" array and have no need for messing with SQL at all.

possible too, but I'm wondering.. looping a 'new ExitTime[MAX_PLAYERS][enum { PlayerLastExitTime, PlayerName[24] }];' (yes this code won't work, but you know what I mean)
or just doing a "SELECT `PlayerLastExitTime` FROM `players` WHERE `playername` (equals or whatever) `Gamer_Z`;"

I think SQL is faster than strcmp for each PlayerName variable?

[Y_Less]

Only if you do use strcmp rather than a hash say.
