SOLVED Ini file comments supported?

[Deleted User]

Hello all, this is my first post here.

question:
does gms support comments in ini files when using build-in ini functions?
or am i just using the wrong commentline symbol?

example:

[buttons]
# keyboard buttons
key_up=38
key_down=40
key_left=37
key_right=39

if i try to use comments, the sections cant be read at all.

From https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/comments-on-ini-files.78892/#post-469039 it seems like maybe it will work if you add a blank line after a comment. Still, if you want this to change, do file a bug report.

Comments in INI files are prefaced by a semicolon.

ok all it needed was extra line after comment, now it works right.

solved.

wrong:

[buttons]
# keyboard buttons
key_up=38
key_down=40
key_left=37
key_right=39

right:

[buttons]
# keyboard buttons

key_up=38
key_down=40
key_left=37
key_right=39

I knew that the thread was there, just had to find it, so it wasn't a completely blind search for me.
