I'm going to look into finding a way to (re-)establish a MySQL database connection, possibly with my own server when I get the time.

 

let me know if you solve this, the people on the twcore team have been unable to for years

I don't know what the issue with TWCore is, or if it's even related, but Deva's issue had to do with the difference between the server's mysql protocol (< 4.1), and the actual database's version (>5). So it kept spitting out "Client does not support authentication protocol". I managed to resolve it by doing the following:

Kind of silly how it was this simple to fix all along.

 

I'll fix up the credit mod later though. But aliasing commands are now working.

Now you're just playing silly. Establishing a connection means just that, initiating contact with the SQL database, thus creating a connection. It has absolutely nothing to do with keeping an online connection alive (active). Re-establishing a connection entails initiating communication with the db again. Once more, a keep alive signal (your timer) keeps the connection active, it doesn't establish or re-establish the connection itself.

 

We already had the zone connected to the database before, thus, I would "look into finding a way to re-establish a MySQL database connection". However, connecting to my own db server would entail establishing a completely new connection, hence the optional parentheses for "establish a MySQL database connection".
