For a game I look for a SAVE file possibility.
I make a menu with 10 save game features.
Now the player makes his own name for the save file.
how can I make the menu so that menu to load the save file names can also be found there.

Why not create 10 save files with fixed names and make the save name a variable inside the save file instead?

Look into .ini creation through STYX or Matrix1utils found on the forum somewhere...

Good luck...

Hopefully someone can help you with the menu element of your question...

What?

I cannot make out whether you HAVE purchased STYX or you are saying IF YOU PURCHASED IT HOW TO XYZ...

Did you buy it already?

There is more than enough information of how to use STYXs INI functionality... which part are you stuck with?

sorry my engels are not very good

have the program just bought 1 hour ago 20:25
I watched the demo which was ini file in the folder.
I do not understand how it works because the demo program will not run.
So after what I read, and what I know of DBP pro I will not go far.

I am currently working with the following:

filename$="mydata.dat"
if file exist(filename$) then delete file filename$
a=10
b=20
open to write 1 filename$
write string 1,str$(a)
write string 1,str$(b)
close file

You can download it already?

This is not for INI... I am not sure, can you state your original language and write it so we can translate maybe?

Really? did you even look at the example code for STYX ini?

SET INI VALUE 1, "VALUE", "a", 10
SET INI VALUE 1, "VALUE", "b", 20
SET INI VALUE 1, "OTHERVALUE", "c", 30

Should give a file with

[VALUE]
a=10
b=20
[OTHERVALUE]
c=30

Also in the example code change "c:\Testing.ini" to ".\Testing.ini" in both instances...

Here and anybody not just me

I am avoiding giving you the entire code as you should give it a try first, and then we can help you more if you are truly stuck

GL!
