Description

PLEASE NOTE

GameMaker 2022.2.0 and later use x64 Windows Runtime by default.
Newer versions of GameMaker will no longer support x86 architecture.
This extension only supports x86 architecture and will not work with newer versions of GameMaker.

Giavapps File (developed and produced by Luigi Piscopo) provides a set of non-sandboxed and cross-platform File functions for GameMaker Studio and GameMaker Studio 2.

This Extension includes support for reading and writing Text Files and Buffers.

Giavapps File works exclusively on Windows and Mac OS X.

PLEASE NOTE

Starting from version GameMaker Studio v2.2.3.436 there is an option for disabling the file system sandbox restrictions:

  • Under Options > Windows / macOS / Ubuntu > General.
  • Check Disable file system sandbox.

In this way, you can save/load files from anywhere not protected by the OS/other security software.

Due to these changes, Giavapps File extension is now free!
