Solved Getting "bor.hi" information?

[Crimsondeath]

Hi to everyone (here we go again x.x),

I just have been successful using a "Initials Input Script", a nice feature that allows players to sign their scores:

So now I can show players initials and the character they used

But...

I just want to ask if it's posible to get the hi scores list (or at least the last score and the first score if is possible) from the "bor.hi" file in the save folder? because my script executes always, even if player score didn't surpasses the last score (number 10).

Thanks in advance.

No, you can't read the bor.hi file. Or rather, you can with the filestream function, but it's encoded and you're just going to get garbage. If you want to make a complete and persistent high score system, you'll need to bypass the native one and build a complete version of your own.

Ok, I didn't know about filestream I'm testing and it's awesome , thanks .

I am pretty sure @Kratus wrote a code for this, might worth checking.
White Dragon made one too, but since he used to comment his codes in italian, maybe it won't be useful for you.

Yes buddy, the SOR2X have a custom hiscore script that exports scores to external files using filestreams.
@Crimsondeath I suggest taking a look, some things may be useful for you.

Hi to everyone sorry the late reply, everything is ok

@O Ilusionista & @Kratus : Thanks .

I just did slight changes on the design and adding a highlight everytime player's game ends and getting a hi-score.

I just did slight changes on the design and adding a highlight whatever stage the player's game ends.

really nice! I have interest on this too. Mind share the coding you are using for the input and the hi score?

Hi friend of course!
I just added a small hidden variable (id) to the script for each time you start a gameplay.

@Kratus @O Ilusionista By the way what are the initials of both of you used in the arcade games? (and if you wish the character of Neon Lightning Force you want to appear in the hiscore screen) I added some friends initials who helps me with the game (testing the 2 players mode) as default scores, I want to add some people who helps me with this game from Chronocrash too xd.
