Well, OnGetScriptMenu does reveal an about-menu-looking MenuId :P

Anyways, if you need a solid system for storing settings, I'm currently working on it.

Guess I just didn't remove the about menu properly.  It should be gone in 1.1, because I don't have it.  When I have the script fully done there will be an about window, since I have a few certain people to give thanks to. ;)

Keep me posted on this system storage your working on.  I have something planned and it's definitly outgrown the registry.

I've tried to, but numbers and boolean values are very difficult to detect in XML. I recommend sticking to the reg..

But of course, it's your master plan :P

It is.. but thats not to say that suggested improvements will be ignored.
Perhaps just an ini file would be the best solution, if xml isn't great for bools (which is like 90% of my settings).

There's nothing hard on reading/writing booleans from an XML file, as long as you do it properly:

Writing:
code:
node.text = 1*bBoolean;
Reading:
code:
bBoolean = (1*node.text == true);
That way, you always read and write 0 or 1 and you don't have to worry about converting a string containing "true" to a Boolean and such.

However, if it's for keeping a user's preferences, I'd recommend using the registry, yes. It's easier for you, the developer: no need to create extra files in places where they may get lost, preferences are properly removed when script is uninstalled and the functions are lots simpler. It's also better for the user: he/she won't easily delete them accidentally.

Awesome.  cheers for that Matti.  I still have a long way to go to understand and write xml properly, but if it'll work I at least know it won't be pointless.  cheers man.

Updated the script in the main post.  Now uses xml instead of registry to save settings.
I'm working on the game db.  If anyone has anything to add send me a pm with the game code (gets added to unknown games.txt), name, and psm/image.

As always, shout if theres any problems and I'll get right on it.
