Hi im making a online and offling top down/2d paintball game and was wondering...
When you create a player it will create the ini disgused as a dll in the same folder to the exe that creates it, i was wondering if theres a way for the program to create the file but in a different folder to what the exe is in?
Thanks for you help in advanced...if you wanan take a look at mi silly coding ur welcome to.
oh god... please dont disguise your inis as dlls... it's so lame. they're easy to find as well

By using the File object you can also specify the Windows directory (or a sub-directory of that). Although I definately DO NOT recommend hiding your INIs as DLLs in the System or System32 directories. Though a lot of people will use the Windows directory.

i would never use the windows folders, i put all my files in the game/app folders unless its a font thats being installed, then naturally that wuld go in the fonts bit
I usually just leave a warning in my INI files telling people not to tamper with em . Encyption works more efficiently, though...

i dont see the point in encryption/disguising of INIs. if people want to be idiots and cheat, let 'em. i'm not losing out.
I now disguise my INI files as a .bmp file. and name it:
characterdir1.bmp or something like that, that way people might think its a picture file of a character or something.
It's about time someone made a 'binary save' extension methinks :B
