How to add an option to Config.ini

[boyesjs03]

Bit stuck on this one, I spent 20 minutes yesterday trying to work it out but I seem to be missing something. Could someone please explain fully how to add an option to the Config.ini file?

[damian666]

checked these subs?

```

Public Sub SaveOptions()

PutVar App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Game_Name", Options.Game_Name

PutVar App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Port", STR(Options.Port)

PutVar App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "MOTD", Options.MOTD

PutVar App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Website", Options.Website

End Sub

Public Sub LoadOptions()

Options.Game_Name = GetVar(App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Game_Name")

Options.Port = GetVar(App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Port")

Options.MOTD = GetVar(App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "MOTD")

Options.Website = GetVar(App.Path & "\data\options.ini", "OPTIONS", "Website")

End Sub

```

Yeah added a resolution option in but says I havnt defined the resolution option.

[damian666]

options are defined in the optionsrec in modtypes server side.

```

Public Options As OptionsRec

Private Type OptionsRec

Game_Name As String

MOTD As String

Port As Long

Website As String

End Type

```

but would a res option not go clientside?

that file is called config.ini i think.

same principle applies though 

```

' options

Public Options As OptionsRec

' Type recs

Private Type OptionsRec

Game_Name As String

SavePass As Byte

Password As String * NAME_LENGTH

Username As String * ACCOUNT_LENGTH

IP As String

Port As Long

MenuMusic As String

Music As Byte

Sound As Byte

Debug As Byte

End Type

```

Derp, I meant the config.ini xD. Is it still defined in ModTypes?

[damian666]

[boyesjs03]

And all handled client side yeah?

[damian666]

[boyesjs03]
