Hi!
How can I run a file from Ge game?
A made a menu and if we click on Start game the menu program close(i made it) and the game open((exe or linux file)here is the problem...I don't know how can i make it)

LoadGame("FileNameHere");

Works only with GE files

with GE exe files too?
(corect this bad post system...If i want to write anything in the post i must write anything in the title delete and only now cani write )

Yep

I think it works with any .exe, but I'm not sure.

Yeah. Don't forget you can do it with .dat files too. For example: You have a main menu for a game (exe file)... then when click PLAY

Code: Select all

LoadGame("game1.dat");

or

Code: Select all

LoadGame("\levels\world1\level1.dat");

like this. You don't need to have exe's because people can open them. Nobody will be able to open .dat file.

(or if you are running the game in Game editor, so not EXE, you can do:

Code: Select all

LoadGame("game.ged");

)
I hope it's more clear now to you.

Have a nice day,

Camper

It works only with anything exported from GE, but not others since this will not load the entire program, but the data part, why load the game engine twice?

Always write this:
The "farmer.dat" isn't a valid game

You have to export it as .dat-file first.

you could do:

Code: Select all

if(fopen("farmer.dat","r+b"))LoadGame("farmer.dat");
else
{
    //Display an error to the user here or you could do "LoadGame("farmer.ged");"
}
