kris_hole Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 if you have a game like kryce and you make an installer for people to download then some people often have hardware problems like the sound and such, or they may not be able to understand the settings bit in game, so heres a nifty little thing i made, it basically edits the config without you having to be in game, every part of it, if a config.ini isnt there it generates it.

kris_hole Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 lol its for people who dont get the whole config thing, or if you use an installer you can hook a shortcut up to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 uhm ok tool, but why is this needed? adjusting a ini by hand isn't THAT hard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_hole Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 but some people (like myself) use an installer for people to download the game, and not everyone who plays games understands how the variables work, its not just eclipse people that can play eclipse games.

kris_hole Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 lol, want me to do one for retarded online that has the opposite effect? or it changes the wrong variables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 @kris_hole:> lol, want me to do one for retarded online that has the opposite effect? or it changes the wrong variables?Naa… Actually, in RO, I changed it so the client doesn't even read most of those things (eg, you can't turn off the background music, the client just player it; it doesn't even look in the INI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggilyboo Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 @kris_hole:> but some people (like myself) use an installer for people to download the game, and not everyone who plays games understands how the variables work, its not just eclipse people that can play eclipse games.Even if you are using an installer, shouldn't that replace the existing config.ini? (or remake if it isn't made) Also, If you don't understand how to edit a variable within an ini, changing a value from 0 to 1 and such, IS NOT HARD! If they don't understand they shouldn't be making a game. Anyways, Nice effort with the visual program, but try and find a better function :P -Tiggilyboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 @tiggilyboo:> If they don't understand they shouldn't be making a game.Thing is, this program isn't for the game makers, but for the game users.People who download and install the game can screw up the config.ini if they try to edit it themselves.And if the game is installed to the "Program Files" folder, and a shortcut is place in the start menu, he could have a shortcut to this in the startmenu with the game, instead of a shortcut to a config.ini. This program makes it more user-friendly for the end-user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_hole Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 thanks admiral, a good example of this is the nfact that not all of kryce onlines players are eclipsers, or people making a game with any engine or straight from scratch, all of my mods have never used eclipse before but they still do a good job at what they help me out with. theres a few people at my school that have downloaded the game too.

Nubbs Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 not really unless you wanted to add brief descriptions to all the options, but they really do that already by themselves…. but that might be an idea if you make a class editor...i wouldnt mind seeing that since the one thats out doesnt display ee 2.7 sprites correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_hole Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 lol, i'll try. might be a bit wierd on the sprites but hey, it may work :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
