Array... help!

[Aasland]

I'm using array to save scores and stars for each level in my game, and this works great on my iPhone 4s (and in mmf).
BUT, when I run the game on an iPhone 3Gs or on the iOS simulator it doesn't work.

In a test level I load the .arr file at start of frame, write the score and star value, and save the .arr file.
The score and star values are loaded from the array in the episode select and level select screen.
This only works on a few (random levels) when I run the game on the 3Gs or on the simulator.

Before I took these screenshots of the episode and level select screen I played through 12 test levels (which have the exact same events) and gave 3 stars on every level.
This time it only worked on level 3,6,9 and 12.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening? Any help is greatly appreciated =)

Haven't run many tests on iPod 3 yet, but so far no problems with arrays. I don't load them at start of frame, maybe that makes a difference? Do you load and save in the same event?
Note: I'm not running the MMF beta, but I think it makes sense to check these details generally.

If you are running your game with the beta 4, you have certain problems like the one I report INI files and open URL, Francois on the post of beta 4 responded that I get an update today.

Hi,
Save and load are not in the same event, but I do load the array at start of the frame.
Hmm, I will definitely check this out. I just found it really strange that it only works 100% on the 4s.
(I have not tried with iPhone 4 though)

I didn't know that, thanks! I am running beta 4 =)

I tried loading the array with "run this event once" instead of "start of frame", and now it works on the simulator. Not on the iPhone 3gs.

Is it a global array? Looking at the history of this beta an issue with global arrays should be fixed, though.

I thought that was fixed.. but yes, it is a global array.. no wonder it doesn't work. =/

I was having an issue with arrays in iOS. If I didn't set the dimensions in the array settings, the array wouldn't work right on iOS. (though it would work fine on the PC). I haven't checked the latest beta's to see if this behavior still exists.

That could be my issue too, but I'm not sure what to put in the dimensions.
The game has 200 levels, and I want to store 3 values from each level:

level , enable
level , score
level , stars

Numeric array, base 0 index
X dimension: 2
Y dimension: 2
X dimension: 1

Will this be the correct set up?
