Bini doesn''t work anymore...help!

Mon Apr 14, 2003 3:59 am by fangmans

I tried hacking Market_Ships.ini. I openned the file with Bini made my changes and saved the file. The problem is that in my work directory, after the save, the only market_ships.ini file listed is the uncompressed original. I openned the file again with Bini and all my changes were still there. I did a save and a "save as" market1_ships.ini and again neither file was listed in the directory.

Ideas anyone?

I'm going to make an assumption here that could well be wrong, but this is the first thing that popped into my head when reading your post:

in windows explorer a new file is listed at the bottom (ignoring alphabetical order) until you refresh or go to another directory and return to the one you were in. Same goes for a modified file (it is listed at the bottom)

It sounds to me like the new file created when you first saved went to the bottom and you didn't look there. Then you overwrote the old file, and the newly changed file went to the bottom of the explorer pane, and would have looked like it disappeared, no longer being where it should be alphabetically. Check the directory again, they should be there.

but damn, I hope my assumption is wrong hehe

It's wrong! I switched to the command line .exe and everything works like it's supposed to. The GUI version is what went haywire. Anyway, I trashed the console .exe after spending a couple of hours trying to figure out what happened.
Actually, the command line version is easier to use anyway.
