Hey, you can find the modified session.lua here: http://plotshare.com/sessions.lua
<http://plotshare.com/sessions.lua>You usually use session.open(id) either with an id or nil (so a new session id will be created) this functions automatically loads the session, if it is available. Via session.data you can access and store all your data. Don`t forget to call session.save() after big changes, so these things will be remembered. I really like the concept of serialization in lua because you still edit your data afterwards. Also it is very easy to use and in my opinion perfect for small to medium session sizes. I use session in a way that it is saved on the server and everyone else can access these sessions by the session id. That is very convenient when you want to share certain things - like on http://www.plotshare.com<http://www.plotshare.com > .
