ok fixed it you were right but there was another bug that i fixed (accidently =D)
is this possible:
do you know how to make a thing that searches through files to load?
im thinking of making a thing where it will save your games without replacing a current one.
then when you load you go through a thing to find the file

simalar to when you go to upload a game on these forums

I don't really know exactly what you're after or why but I do have some code for fileselecting which could be used in a load game function if you want it?
Surely if you want to save without overwriting you can just add to a number in a variable to get something like: 001.save, 002.save etc. or even the playername then a number like:
OPEN TO WRITE playername$+str$(savenumber)+".save"
then whenever you load the game you just have to get the last 3 characters before ".save" from the filename, convert them to an integer and store them in the savenumber variable. Then every time you save you increment the savenumber variable and save. You'll also need an algorithm to put 0s in front of short numbers.

Also, in your example you are saving only integer type data so why don't you save them that way (using READ/WRITE BYTE commands) instead of converting them to strings and back. This would decrease the number of variables (and code) required and probably also decrease filesize. Even if you don't want to do that you can still load the values directly into their varaibles without the intermediate string variables.

Sorry if I talked too much and wrote too little code
Did this help at all?

When the going get stuf,
the stuf get's sinister
