Saving more than 50 values into an ini file...

[Shmuper]

Hi all,

I was wondering, i couldn't get my ini saving/loading system to work properly and I am in the process of redoing it from scratch now... But I just wanted to get your feedback on this approach in order to avoid repeating the same errors I might have done in my previous system.

example :
I have a global value called firstrun, now if the player runs the game for the first time firstrun is set to 0.
When it is set to 0 I save all the default global values into the ini file.
There are 50+ values and I had this event on my a frame which is only shown for about 5 seconds before going to the next frame.
I save them all in one event, at once is that too much ?
Would this be too short for the application to save all those values into the ini file ?
Is there a way for me to say only go to the next frame once all values have been saved ?


I had a problem where my firstrun value would not load or save properly forcing the game to resave all global values to the ini file everytime thus re-initializing everytime...

It should save them all fine in one go.. just test it, run the app and then check the ini file to see they're all there. I have a game that generates about 35 save entries in one event on the first run / new game with no problems.
