How to add .ini file to control binds

[ExciteEfect13 0]

Hi, I'm learning C++ and I need a tutorial on how to add .ini file to change keys.

I'm using native trainer SDK and piece of code to explain would be great!

Thanks!

Well, the general code would be something like this:

int key = 0;key = GetPrivateProfileInt("Keys", "key", -1, ".\\NameOfFile.ini");

Try to get the key defined in Section "Keys", Key "key" of file "NameOfFile.ini" (.\\ meaning the .ini file is in the same folder path the process is running from). If this doesn't succeed for any reason (like the file wasn't found), int key will revert to the default value of -1 (3rd paramater).

 

Of course, the ini file must look something like this:

 

[Keys]

key=0x76 // hexadecimal value for F7

 

The hexadecimal values for the key codes can be found here https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows/desktop/dd375731%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. Then simply check if "key" was pressed in your code, using GetAsyncKeyState or something similar.

Sorry if I am making obvious mistake, something like this??

int key = 0; 	key = GetPrivateProfileInt("0x76", "0x74", -1, ".\\trainer.ini");

No,

 

it seems you don't know the basic structure of ini files. They consist of sections and keys:

 

[Keys -> this is the section]

key -> this is the key = 0x76

 

GetPrivateProfileInt's first paramater is the section and the second is the key , so in your example the .ini file would need to look like this in order to return something, which is obviously most probably not what you want:

 

[0x76]

0x74=

 

I am going to give you an example:

 

This is part of the .ini:

[Keys]init=0x76nextseat=0x27prevseat=0x25radiotoggle=0xBD[settings]tvpos=1

and this is how those keys are read out in code:

keyInit = GetPrivateProfileInt("Keys", "init", -1, ".\\LimoMod.ini");keyNextSeat = GetPrivateProfileInt("Keys", "nextseat", -1, ".\\LimoMod.ini");keyPrevSeat = GetPrivateProfileInt("Keys", "prevseat", -1, ".\\LimoMod.ini");keyRadioToogle = GetPrivateProfileInt("Keys", "radiotoggle", -1, ".\\LimoMod.ini");setTVPos = GetPrivateProfileInt("Settings", "tvpos", -1, ".\\LimoMod.ini");

I got it working now, thanks alot!!

How bout c# anyone know mine never loads.

 

SPraceMod.net.ini

 

[RACE_SETTINGS]VEHICLE=3057713523

_settings = ScriptSettings.Load("SPraceMod.net");//doesnt load? VehicleModel = _settings.GetValue<VehicleHash>("RACE_SETTINGS", "VEHICLE", VehicleHash.Dukes2);//loads if use Settings.GetValue but only default.?
