Game Maker's built-in save system will do everything you want. Look it up in the manual.

yeah but I can't find it :/

Theres drop-and-drag tiles for saving/loading too.

I want to make tick in context menu, like this:


Is there way to do it with show_menu or some dll?
Or if I set some icon or picture like at the screenshot.

I can make own context menu, but standart will works better.

If another image not work.

Use http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=264765 (Max WinAPI dll) to create more complex Windows interfaces. (I think this DLL does what you need)

Can I program game maker 8.0 to get values from a website or a .txt file saved on the internet?

Example: Let's say I make a RPG game, and I want to have a dubble xp system that I can activate from my comupter. Like an event: "Dubble xp weekend". Like if I had a .html file or .txt file saved in my public folder in my dropbox, and GM are getting the value from the .html file or .txt file from the folder in dropbox.

Something like: " if something.something.something = 1 {
                            xp =+ xp
                        };
                  
                   if something.something.something = 0 {
                            xp =+ 0
                        }; "
(Stupid example)

Does anyone knows if this is possible or does anyone know how to do it?


If this is not possible, is there any way to do a force update if there is a newer update available on the GM site or for example in my public dropbox folder.

Thank you for helping

Game Maker has built-in file-handling and string-manipulation functions. They should do everything you need. Look them up in the Game Maker manual
