Persistent Data At Arm’s Reach…
Keeping your product’s status across rezzing, teleporting through sims, or logouts is the key to all scripted products. Up until now, content creators have either fought against limitations of SL’s local storage using tortured prims, or fiddled with complex and complicated methods of communicating with off-site servers. Both of these methods are time-consuming and they forced developers to spend their effort on other things than their own product.
SLiCK! DataStore combines reliability of off-site data storage with sofar unmatched ease of use. The DataStore is represented by a single scripted prim which, embedded into your product, handles persistent storage, data recovery, and data manipulation for you.
SLiCK! DataStore Features
- Persistent data saving under custom “key”
- Automatically updates records with the same key, instead of creating a new record
- Easy data retrieval
- Delete a record by its key
- Protect your data using a passphrase, thus preventing read, overwrite, or removal of your data
- Change your data’s passphrase
- Un-protect your data at any time
DataStore Editions
At this moment, SLiCK! DataStore is available in three editions:
- SLiCK! DataStore 1.0 FREE (L$ 0, Limit: 1 record per object, max 96 byte storage)
- SLiCK! DataStore 1.0 PRO (L$ 999, Limit: 10 record per object, max 1024 byte storage)
- SLiCK! DataStore 1.0 BUSINESS (L$ 1999, Limit: 20 record per object, max 2048 byte storage)
While the FREE edition is still fully functional, it is aimed at freebie developers and DIY customers who like to tinker with their custom content but don’t need to store big amounts of data. The cost of PRO and BUSINESS editions is more than reasonably low, and all resourced earned by their sales go towards maintenance and upkeep of the DataStore server, and towards the product’s enhancements and upgrades in the future.
