[QUESTION] How to make changes in CF_USER_SACK take effect immediately without reselecting server?

[nst173]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing a small tool to quickly switch weapons between my backpacks in Crossfire. I'm editing the CF_USER_SACK table directly in the database, and everything works fine. However, after making changes, I need to exit and reselect the server in order for the changes to take effect in the game.

I'm wondering:
Is there any way to apply the changes immediately after modifying the database, without needing to leave and re-enter the server selection?

If anyone has experience making similar tools or knows how Crossfire handles data caching or refreshing, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

the last time I dealt with these files, the files just dropped into ragezone, if I'm not mistaken, the operations done in the client are executed as functions in the db. I think you can do this if you find the right execution function.
