Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	24th June, 2004 at 02:02:16 - You'll have to build your own high-score table in TGF, then use the ini to save it, then use something like the file encryption object to encrypt it. Actually, if you put the scores before names, a listfile could probably do the sorting for you.(although you'd probably want to use text objects' alterable strings to display the scores, since a list object is rather ugly) TGF doesn't have $appdrive + $appdir does it? You may have to use the file object to get the ini to save in the same dir. Kramy
X_Sheep I had a custom rating before it was cool Registered 01/03/2004 Points 1313	24th June, 2004 at 03:39:40 - TGF does have that appdrive$ + appdir$ + "highscores.ini" or something. a/n
Zub Registered 02/10/2002 Points 221	24th June, 2004 at 06:30:39 - Hmm, I´ve never really worked with ini-files in TGF. Maybe it´s better to just leave it the way it is.

Arf :: FPP Games Registered 15/05/2002 Points 1364	24th June, 2004 at 06:51:47 - Bear in mind that all scores from TGF games are stored in that one INI file in the windows directory, so if you delete that then any other TGF games on your computer will lose their scores aswell. I have a tutorial on my site for saving and protecting a high score table in TGF and MMF: http://www.fpp-games.com/tutorials/advanced_high_score.php n/a

Zub Registered 02/10/2002 Points 221	26th June, 2004 at 14:16:55 - I tried 2 times by following your tutorial, but it doesn´t work. Only when I deleted all my events in the high scores frames and copied the evenst from the tutorial it worked. The scores doesn´t load or save (don´t know wich) the list. I think I´m going to look at it one more time now. Edited by the Author. X( "p1" ) - 24 TGF user, working on simple projects sometimes. Current Project: Farm with Chickens.

Arf :: FPP Games Registered 15/05/2002 Points 1364	27th June, 2004 at 10:53:09 - Hmm, maybe try deleting the INI file and trying again. Though I'm not sure what the problem is. n/a
X_Sheep I had a custom rating before it was cool Registered 01/03/2004 Points 1313	27th June, 2004 at 11:08:20 - As mentioned before, deleting the INI file removes the scores of all other TGF games as well With a custom scoreboard you can choose what INI file to put the scores in, which makes it safe to delete. a/n
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	27th June, 2004 at 14:06:53 - Does the ini++ object have a "delete item" command? If so, find out what your game saves the scores under in the file. When the game starts, and a file in your game's dir doesn't exist, delete all the scores. Then create a new file in your game's directory. When uninstalled, the file should be removed. If you use install creator you could even have it install a file with something like: [commands] clear=1 Then just set clear to 0 after clearing all the scores.(if they exist) Kramy Kramy

RapidFlash Savior of the Universe Registered 14/05/2002 Points 2712	27th June, 2004 at 23:00:52 - Deleting the .ini file would screw up all the other games that use the TGF high score object. http://www.klik-me.com
Zub Registered 02/10/2002 Points 221	28th June, 2004 at 03:40:39 - No, not that ini-file, I´m talking about the one created following the tutorial Arf posted.

Teapot Does he even go here Registered 02/10/2003 Points 2631	8th July, 2004 at 09:04:52 - Here's a clue: Don't use the TGF highscore object. It's not actually too hard to make your own. And don't bother encrypting the INI, only morons bother to fiddle around with them anyway. n/a
