Well, I'm being original and are doing a RPG-game.
And in a RPG you have to be able to save right?
There'll be 3 slots to save to. That means I'll have to have 4 groups in the INI file. 3 for storing data as save files and 1 for storing values during gameplay.

So when it comes to loading the data from the INI to the game I can either use several INI objects to load different values or use only one to load everything. Which would be best?

And last, I have waaaay more than 16 items in each INI group. And there's only 16 global values lying around.
So Instead of using global values all the time I can take normal counters and set them to global to make them act like global values during gameplay.

Am I on the right track here?

Well my advice for you is to, instead of putting all three games in one INI file, to make one INI file per save game slot. You could do this with global values, which would rename the INI depending on which game slot you chose (if that makes sense). And then you'd put all the data required into that particular INI.

Gee... never thought of that, and yes it does make sense.

When "A" value is 1
-set current INI file to "B"

and so fort.
