I'm specifically making sure that im saving strings - and making sure that the strings are global. I just dont get why this doesnt work

EDIT: ok i decided to RTFM and i think i found the problem - SV_STRINGS mode in game_save saves all *modified* strings only. Not sure how a string created with str_create *doesn't* count as a modified string, but there you go. I think I have to use SV_ALL.

EDIT2: ok SV_ALL doesnt work either......for crying out loud why is this so difficult?
