From the installation guide, it seems that this mod uses the default sourcemod database to store it's info in.  Is this correct? 
Is there a way of using a separate wc3 source only database?  Is there any potential problems with using the default sourcemod database (eg, if I wanted to completely uninstall the mod later, wouldn't it leave remnants in the datbase?)

Further to my previous post, if the mod is setup to use the default sourcemod database, can I put in a feature request for the ability to specify a specific database?

Our centralised server management system overwrites the default sourcemod admin database each time a server is updated, and so would presumably overwrite the war 3 info...

Confirmed for 0.9.1.7
Yeah it is currently set to connect default but I'll add something to the INI file.

Fantastic :-)

I just got a server up and running, but the XP won't save, which I'm sure is to do with how we manage the servers (and the default database stuff)... so having this option should allow us to go for gold :-)

Just downloaded 0.9.1.8 to play with.  Is it possible to get the installation wiki updated to document how to use war3source.ini, and the requirements for a non-standard database.cfg ?

(For example, what path do I need to put in?)

The path should be automatically fine when you extract the release. All you have to do is add an entry into database.cfg like this:
Quote
war3source
{
 ...
}

Then in war3source.ini you set database to war3source.

Its pretty easy, but let me know if you have any problems.
