Save Point

I don't have a dir app data...but I've got a lot of this figured out...I can save to an ini...but for some reason the ini deletes itself, whichc is no good, lol...

I get confused when you say appdata directory, I don't have that dir in my project folder, lol... I don't know what your project folder looks like, but I'll sum up mine...lol...I have a folder in my main desktop folder with the name of my game...in it I have dirs that I created, and in them the files I use...in the root folder the folder with my game name I have my MFA project save file....that's where I've been telling the ini to create itself in the root folder.. appdrive appdir...it's been working, but for some reason my ini file deletes itself...I gotta figure out what's triggering that, because as far as I can tell, lol...there's no reason for it...I don't have any file object telling delete a file, or anything like that, lol...

however I can save, the ini is created....Then I can load game....but after so long the ini deletes itself...I'm trying to pinpoint what's triggering that, but I'm having a hard time, lol

I found the culprit I had a delete file on an event that it shouldnt have been. I had to run my app, and try a bunch of things, while checking my dir to see what even deleted the file. lol

still, I'm a bit foggy when you say appdata dir...what's that? I don't even have that dir in my project folder, becuase my project folder is explained above...I didn't get a set of project folders when I created a new project, I had to make my own in one of my folders on desktop...

how did you get an appdata dir?

AppData is a folder each and every user of the computer has by default. It's a hidden folder. It is NOT part of your project folder. Saving to the project folder is BAD PRACTICE.

My mfa saves to AppData as you can see in the INI properties. It doesn't delete after the application is over, and it doesn't need to be recreated.

ohh okay, that makes more sense now. I was pretty confused, Guess I never heard of that folder before..lol.
