How do you... - Pbcrazy - 24-04-2008
im sry if this is a newb question but i cant seem to find the answer anywhere. How do you get your program to save, edit or read a .txt or .ini file?
Re: How do you... - Rian - 24-04-2008
GetVar and PutVar are how it's handled by default server side. Open your server project, and go to modDatabase. That's where most saving and loading takes place.
Re: How do you... - Pbcrazy - 24-04-2008
could you tell me how you would save them and read and edit them like from scratch. cuz im making a game engine from scratch (actually just a chatroom program right now but it will eventually get to that)

errrrr... i just went and looked and i still cant seem to find it could you just please tell me what the syntax is to do this for VB6 please
Re: How do you... - Anthony - 24-04-2008
Code:
Dim FileName As String
FileName = App.Path & "\Text.ini"
Call PutVar(FileName, "GENERAL", "User", "this is your data being written to the text.ini")
Call PutVar(FileName, "POOP", "Cheese", "This is your other data being written in a different sub thingy")Thats basically ripped right out of the server side of MSE1. Look in the server side at PutVar and GetVar.
Re: How do you... - Pbcrazy - 24-04-2008
ok let me ask this is PutVar and GetVar VB6 syntax or just functions (or subs) that are in the Mirage Source cuz i cant find where these lead to
Re: How do you... - Stomach Pulser - 25-04-2008
i googled it and got a working one in like 5 minutes (one that isn't put/getvar) the one i have takes the whole text file.

Dave Wrote:GetVar and PutVar are MirageSource custom wrappers for the Win32 API functions GetPrivateProfileString and SetPrivateProfileString, respectively
(or something like that, been a while...)
