,ini help

[ChefBoyardee]

Hi, I checked the forums to see if there was anything about this and I couldn't find anything. I'm sorry if this is a common or easy mistake, but I just started and need help.

I created a .ini file and I'm trying to link to it. The file name is text.ini and the file path is d:\program files\multimedia fusion 2\games\text.ini. When I go to "set current file" on the event editor and type "Apppath$+"d:\program files\multimedia fusion 2\games\text.ini"", I get no response in the application. What is the problem and why is it not registering the file path? I'm using the demo of MMF2 if that helps. Thanks a lot.

Your app is in the same folder than the Ini? Try Appath$+"text.ini"

Your app is somewhere else? Try "d:\program files\multimedia fusion 2\games\text.ini"

Yeah, if you use:

Apppath$+"d:\program files\multimedia fusion 2\games\text.ini"

...and the directory of the application is, for instance, C:/, then it would return:

C:/d:\program files\multimedia fusion 2\games\text.ini

and that wouldn't make any sense at all.

I recommend that you either try to keep the INI in your app folder or simply put it in the windows folder (though that is a hassle sometimes).
