How to read file in CoD2? For example guids.txt. I need to save guid list (line by line) and read it into cod2.

Doesnt work to me :( Don't know why.

filenum = OpenFile( "test.txt", "read" );

if (filenum != -1)
	{
		iprintlnbold("File openned!");
	}

I tried to put file test.txt everywhere. In:
cod2\
cod2\main\
cod2\main\scriptdata\

And still "filenum" returns "-1"

are you testing on a local server? if you are testing localy the read function dosnt work. its stupid but yeah i had to learn that the hard way.

Indeed. Dedicated needs to be 2 or 1 (not sure). It seems reading fails when you test it locally. (I thought only writing works locally)

Edit: Always close the file when the filenum isn't -1. Otherwise this will cause your server to crash when a new map gets loaded.

try to write instead. It should create the file. Find it :)

make sure to close the file to thats a big thing. always close the file when your done with it and you might want to use "append" instead of "write" when you are writing the file for your sake since your saving guids. and yeah you can only write on a local server but you cannot read unless you have dedicated 2

All the file functions work on a Local server for testing, you just can't map rotate, as then it doesn't work.

First map on a Local server = fine; second map = it fails.

false, iv ran into this problem enough times to say thats not true. its true it wont work on the next map and crash if you do not close the file. but the read function in general will not work for a local server. prove me otherwise and please explain what you did to make it work if you can cause iv ran into it so many times.

Datapoint:


In dedicated 0:

All filereads fail.
All filewrites succeed.
All fieappends succeed.

In any other dedicated: (1 or 2)
All file operations succeed.

Good luck :)
