Help with mod settings file (ini)

[beornblackclaw]

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble reading/writing from/to a setting file for my mod.

 

So far I have set my class to use a config file.

In the project I've added an empty file with just a section header.

Now I'm having a few problems:

1. If I set the section as [XComGame.<classname>], the file gets written but is not read upon loading
2. If I set the section as [<modname>.<classname>], the file gets read but is not written when I call SaveConfig()
3. Follow up from (2), one of my setting is actually an array of strings, however it only ever reads the last value.

When, I had a . (dot) in front of the second line it works fine. However, when looking at the result of (1), the config file is not written with any dot.

So, if I ever manage to read AND write, I'll still have a problem with my array only ever getting the last value (unless I missed something).

 

The only documentation I've found so far is from the Configuration Files UDK but it doesn't say anything about arrays.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: More details:

 

The code itself is kind of an unrealscript construct. The relevent parts are just this (the config keyword):

class UIModdedShell_BLCK extends UIFinalShell config(ModProfiles);var config array<name> ModNames;

My config file in ModBubby should be empty but I added some values for testing (this is case 2):

[ModProfiles.UIModdedShell_BLCK]ModNames=DebugName1ModNames=DebugName2

In one of my test button, I have this code:

ModNames.Remove(0, ModNames.Length);ModNames.AddItem('DebugName3');ModNames.AddItem('DebugName4');SaveConfig();

Case 1 gives me this after clicking the test button:

• A file in the mod config with the exact content of what I defined in ModBuddy (see above)
• An empty ModNames array (even after the first start)
• A file in "my games" when I click the test button containing this:

[ModProfiles.UIModdedShell_BLCK]ModNames=DebugName3ModNames=DebugName4BufferSpace=20.000000bPlayAnimateInDistortion=TruebPlayIdleDistortion=TrueIdleDistortionAnimationLength=1.000000IdleDistortionGapMin=5.000000IdleDistortionGapMax=10.000000MaxIdleStrength=0.030000AnimateInDistortionTime=0.500000Note that it says ModProfiles.UIModdedShell_BLCK instead of XComGame.UIModdedShell_BLCK.

Case 2:

• A file in the mod config with the exact content of what I defined in ModBuddy (see above)
• One entry in the ModNames array containing 'DebugName2' (both if I manually add . in front of the second entry)
• No file in "my games"
• No change saved to the ini file despite calling SaveConfig()
