So Im trying to create a KeyValue file that contains some info I need to save each map change.

Below is the code I use to create the KeyValue file.
g_szModConfigFilePath = cfg/votemod/nextmod.txt

PHP Code:

stock CreateModFile(iNextMod)
{
    new Handle:hDataPack = GetArrayCell(g_hModArray, iNextMod);    
    decl String:szModName[32], String:szModDir[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH], String:szModCfg[32], String:szModMap[32], String:szModPlugin[32];
    
    /* Read the Mod Info from the data pack */
    ReadPackString(hDataPack, szModName, sizeof(szModName));
    ReadPackString(hDataPack, szModDir, sizeof(szModDir));
    ReadPackString(hDataPack, szModCfg, sizeof(szModCfg));
    ReadPackString(hDataPack, szModMap, sizeof(szModMap));
    ReadPackString(hDataPack, szModPlugin, sizeof(szModPlugin));
    
    CloseHandle(hDataPack);
    
    /* Create the KeyValue File */
    new Handle:hKeyValue = CreateKeyValues("NextMod");
    
    KvJumpToKey(hKeyValue, szModName, true);
    KvSetString(hKeyValue, "dir", szModDir);
    KvSetString(hKeyValue, "cfg", szModCfg);
    KvSetString(hKeyValue, "map", szModMap);
    KvSetString(hKeyValue, "plugin", szModPlugin);
    KeyValuesToFile(hKeyValue, g_szModConfigFilePath);
    CloseHandle(hKeyValue);
    
    /* Show Next Mod to Players */
    PrintToChatAll("[%s] The next mod will be: %s", szModName);
    PrintToServer("[%s] The next mod will be: %s", szModName);
} 


And this is the output file. Its not creating the root of the KV but the section its creating has the correct info.

"Outlaws" //Menu Item
{
	"dir"		"outlaws"
	"cfg"		"outlaws-config.cfg"
	"map"		"outlaws-maps.txt"
	"plugin"	"outlaws-plugins.ini"
}

let me understand this. you are reading info from a data pack, writing it on a keyvalues file and, then, reading the keyvalues file. why don't you just use a data pack? handles and variables aren't destroyed on map change.

Interesting. . And no I read a kv file to get the info pack it into the data pack. Then read it using the pack. I thought it wouldn't save on map changes.. If they don't change I can just store the next mod in s variable and access the array that way.. Thanks.


And back to my question... Why isn't it creating the root? Ill need it for the spawn point creator i am using for my deathmatch spawns on csgo.

Call KvRewind or KvGoBack before KeyValuesToFile.

Basically, you need a KvGoBack for every KvJumpToKey or KvGotoFirstSubKey.

From the docs for KeyValuesToFile: "The tree is dumped from the current position." meaning that if you don't go back, you don't get the root in there.

So go to the first key and then rewind from there?
