Do ini groups and items completely go away?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I used to have a lot of INI items in my game, but I decided to set them all to 0 and delete all of the events associated to them. Do they completely go away when unused, or are they now just wasting space because I no longer use them?

  • Now I don't know what exactly you asked btw I think They are in the memory ! I just made a test with 170 ini obj they use something like 3 mb of memory during runtime !

    What I'm trying to say is if I once used an ini item/group that I no longer use, does it stay in the files forever even though I don't use it?

  • Yes.

    All INI operations (not INI++) are directly read/write from/to the file itself. There is no memory storage for standard INI.

  • Not if you are writing at runtime. The file is stored locally on the device (mobile) in local storage or as a cookie for Flash/HTML5. For Windows, temp folder so you're good to go. Just ship the base INI with the compiled app to keep the file size down (ie: blank/template ini) or even no ini at all if you do the right checks upon first app launch...
