note: test = your mod's name

public class test : Script{    private ScriptSettings config;    Keys my_key;    int myvalue;    public test()    {        config = ScriptSettings.Load("scripts\\test.ini");        my_key = config.GetValue<Keys>("General", "my_key", Keys.F9);//(category, name, default value)        myvalue = config.GetValue<int>("General", "myvalue", 100);    }}

implement those and then create test.ini and write in something like:

[General]my_key=F9 //descriptionsmyvalue=1249 //descriptions

hope it helped:)

But this works on c++?

I have one question though and that is what does the myvalue and mykey? what i think you mean with the mykey is what key i have set in my script correct me if i am wrong on that. and one more thing does it recognize if i have multiple keys setup in my script?

In CLR, yes.

 

All the best,

A section is the value enclosed in [], a key is the text before an =.

see this for more information on .ini files and how they work.

yes, it is the key/value you want to set. you can add more by 1.declare another key/value 2.add more lines similar to the lines i wrote:)

Skorpro also posted some helpful wrapper functions too for INI Files here: http://gtaforums.com/topic/576633-how-to-use-arus-c-scripthook-sdk/?do=findComment&comment=1066870399.

Hope that helps

 

EDT: Be sure to remove the SKP:: namespace as necessary, since you probably don't have that -- unless you wish to define it of course

Simple code that I use in my trainer (for the controls):

// .ini file settingsint openMenu = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Open Menu", 0x78, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'F9'int closeMenu = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Close / Go Back", 0x60, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD0'int menuUp = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Up", 0x68, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD8'int menuSelect = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Select", 0x65, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD5'int menuDown = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Down", 0x62, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD2'int menuLeft = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Left", 0x64, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD4'int menuRight = GetPrivateProfileInt("Controls", "Right", 0x66, "./ModMenu.ini"); // 'NUMPAD6'

Can you show whats inside the .ini file?

[alloc8or 368]

[Controls]
Open Menu = 0x78
Close / Go Back = 0x60
Up = 0x68
Select = 0x65
Down = 0x62
Left = 0x64
Right = 0x66

One easy way to do it is with fscanf:

 

FILE * pFile;int KEY;int optionOne = 0;pFile = fopen("mymod.ini", "r");if (pFile){     fscanf(pFile, "My Mod by me%*\n", NULL);     fscanf(pFile, "\nMAIN OPTIONS:%*\n", NULL);     fscanf(pFile, "Hotkey = [%x]%*\n", &KEY);     fscanf(pFile, "Enable option 1 = [%d]%*\n", &optionOne);     fclose(pFile);}

"%x" means scan for a hex code. 0x61 is numpad-one, 0x63 is numpad=three.

"%d" means scan for a whole number

"%f" means scan for a float.

"%*" means scan for the following character and discard it (I use it here to invalidate newlines, as in "\n")

"%s" scans for a string

"%[^]" scans for a string of specific characters, or scans for a string while ignoring whitespace. Using this with strtok tokens and delimiters can let you make a customizable array of hash key strings (char*[])

 

You assign the scanned value to your variable in the third part (that says &varName). For fscanf to work, you must scan every character in the file in-order (this is why title-lines are assigned to "NULL"). If one character in the file is off, all the text below that character will not be scanned correctly.

 

The mymod.ini file would end up looking like this:

My Mod by meMAIN OPTIONS:Hotkey = [0x6D]Enable option 1 = [1]

Hope this helps

Does anyone knows how to store/read a "Vector3" in .ini file?

(Aside from reading x/y/z separately)

Sorry to bump a 3 week-old threat but... I don't think you can. A Vector3 is a struct that consists of an x, y and z value, of type float. INI's can't deal with a struct AFAIK.

 

Of course, if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.

Of course you could just append the x, y and z values into a single string and write a method to parse them back into a Vector3 when reading the file.
