I want to read the date from a file, but not an .ini file because the user would have to change it every day. Is there a file somewhere on the computer that stores the date and how can I read it in CLEO4?

You can take advantage of the imported GetLocalTime function (from Kernel32.dll) located at 0x85811C. The first argument is a pointer to a SYSTEMTIME structure documented here. I cannot give the full code right now, so good luck.

0AC8: 0@ = allocate_memory_size 16 0AA5: call 0x85811C num_params 1 pop 0 0@ 0085: 1@ = 0@ for 2@ = 0 to 7    0A8D: 3@(2@,8i) = read_memory 1@ size 2 virtual_protect 0    1@ += 2         end 0AC9: free_allocated_memory 0@ { After this, we have: 3@ - Year 4@ - Month 5@ - DayOfWeek 6@ - Day 7@ - Hour 8@ - Minute 9@ - Second 10@ - Milliseconds }

Thanks.

Okay, I tested the script and it keeps crashing for me after the SA loading bar is complete.

CODE

{$CLEO} 0AC8: 0@ = allocate_memory_size 16 while true    wait 250    0A8D: 31@ = read_memory 0x85811C size 4 virtual_protect 0    0AA5: call 31@ num_params 1 pop 0 0@    0085: 1@ = 0@    for 2@ = 0 to 7        0A8D: 3@(2@,8i) = read_memory 1@ size 2 virtual_protect 0        1@ += 2            end    0ACE: show_formatted_text_box "%d-%d-%d, %d:%d:%d" 6@ 4@ 3@ 7@ 8@ 9@ end

Now that I have the day, month, and year, how would I be able to combine them together (like 6/8/2012) and display it using a draw_text opcode? I don't want to use show_text_priority.

Will this work properly:

CODE

0AF4: 0@v = read_string_from_ini_file INI_FileName section "Main" key "Date"    //   6/9/2012 is stored in the variable 0AD3: 10@v = format "Date: %s" 0@v 0ADF: add_dynamic_GXT_entry "Date" text 10@v    // So now Date: 6/9/2012
