Hi ppl

I was trying to use IanM´s plugin that can read and write to INI files.

Seems i am doing something wrong becuse it cant read the values that i have in my INI file. The screen stays black when i run my code below.

I have read the readme file that came along with the dll and from what get out of that readme. This is the way to do it, still as it doesnt work mabey not. So if someone would be really kind and tell me the secret how it work i would really be an happier human being.

Here is the very very short code




and here is the INI file if i did something wrong in that :S




cheers all

Looks like you are using it correctly, I am at work right now so I cannot confirm you that. But from what I can see the code is OK. Maybe try removing tabs from your INI file.

If i remember correct, you have to use full paths of the ini files.
Like:
OPEN INI STORE 1,"c:\my project\Light_Omni.ini"

There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

Mostly right - if you use the plain (slow) ini, then you need to use a pathname. It doesn't need to be a full path, so just putting ./ in front of the filename should be enough.
