In Tgf, i've managed to save a pile of stats to an .ini, problem free.
I've saved the values of a lot of counters into the .ini file, but how do i set the counters to the values stored in the .ini so i can make a "load game" function ?

Did you save them in a group? If not, then I suggest setting that first.
Then you simply use the Set Value function under the counter and click Retrieve Data From Object. From the list of objects, select the INI then Get Value.
BTW before you retrieve data in TGF you need to set the Group and Item (it cant be done from within the Get Value function like it can in MMF).

then, can you tell me how to make a normal textstring display a text following by a string from an ini ?
i've made it so the txt object uses
Set Alterable String to >
"Loading" + string of$( "Ini" )
That just displays "Loading". But if i just use
strinf of$( "Ini" )
then the string from the ini is put in the text

That should work, I've done it before. Just make sure you've set the group and ini before you try and load the string. If you cant get it to work send me an example and I'll have a look.

When the character you're playing picks a name, have it save the name as a string in a group.
(for example, group [player stats] item name=name here )
Then when you load the game have it take that name and change the alterable string of a text object.
(for example, change alterable string to "Loading " + string of$( "Ini" ) + "'s saved game."
To get assuming bob is the char's name)
Loading bob's saved game.
