How can I read values from ini file? We got functions to access registry, but not for ini files. Can you suggest some method to read them? Some (free) plugin or something else?

Registry is fine, but I want my game to be thumbstick-ready so I need to read/save things into ini files instead as they're more portable.

Hehe... Very powerful thing indeed and I will probably end up using it anyway (for networking capabilities and ability to make meshes procedurally), but it doesn't have INI handling routines, checked it with uploaded help file. It can handle binary datafiles so it is good, but no INI handling.

Uh... didn't see that, then again I've looked for "INI Handling", not "Key->Value pairs". Thanks! Downloading right away!
