defines.ini question.

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

What are the things that can be used in place of ALL? The SDK pdf manual says "It is suggested that this file
not be modified.", well that's like telling me not to push that red button (you can only imagine what trouble I was for my poor parents :blink: )

;[Toolbar]
DefaultBar=ALL

If I could get the full list of what I can do with this file would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Anything you want, as long as you use the same in the GUI files.

Thank you for the reply Adukes. Is there a chance to get my hands on a list of things that can be changed in the .ini file?

Any help you give will be appreciated.

later!

I don't think we documented this very well, but the purpose of this file was to expose everything to the modders. There are core values in there for the game. I'm pretty sure that it gives a lot of power, but large chance of messing things up.

I'm pretty sure that everything that can be changed is listed in there currently. It's commented a little, so you should be able to figure most out. I didn't want to hard code anything in the program, so if it's something that would usually be hardcoded, it's listed there instead. Mostly used for total conversion mods.

I guess the only way to learn are by making mistakes I guess. I'll have a go at editing this, where to start, or what I can add is the difficult part.

I'll give it a shot. I know there are mods that have been released already that have an edited defines.ini file, I'll take a look see.

Thanks Norb for the reply...cheers.
