I have the following code:

function test_save()
{ STRING* save_str = " ";
STRING* num_str = " ";
str_cpy(save_str,"save ");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_month);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str,"/");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_day);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str,"/");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_year);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str," ");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_hours);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str,":");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_minutes);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str,":");
str_for_num(num_str,sys_seconds);
str_cat(save_str,num_str);
str_cat(save_str," ");
game_save(save-str,1,SV_VARS);
}

When I call test_save(), there is no .sav file created by game_save(). Am i doing somehthing wrong? Why would it not create a save file?

Which version do you use?

I'm using Pro 7.82 atm. I havent upgraded to 8 becuase when I did before, i'd go to run the game, the compile window would come up and then immidiatly crash out. I've always had problems when i upgrade mid-project - so im sticking with 7.82 until i have this current game finished.

please dont tell me that not creating the save game file is a known bug of 7.82........

mhmhmh, thats crazy. It should work. It worked by me. Why dont by you?? lol
