Title: Switching between mods but keeping the advanced settings.
Post by: Xilmi on November 17, 2022, 06:48:09 pm

Someone asked me to try out the XCF-mod with my AI.
So I installed it, and started testing.
Found a bug in my AI related to some specialized units, fixed it, played around a little.
All fine.
I realized that the Mod had altered and fixed some of the advanced settings. I'm totally fine with that. When the Mod-author wants these to be fixed because they fit the intended experience in the mod.

However, when I switched back to vanilla, the altered advanced settings remained altered.

So it would be nice if those could kinda be saved in separate files or something.
Like when I first enable a mod, it copies the main-one, makes it's alterations and such. But the vanilla-settings don't get changed from that.

That's what I'd prefer. Especially under the prospect of wanting to test more mods in the future.

you can have multiple openxcom installations

you can also have a single openxcom installation with multiple config files (e.g. via command line arguments)

I guess next time I try a mod, I'll make a copy of my config-file before and restore it when I want to go back. That seems easier than trying to figure out how to use command-line-parameters from within Visual-Studio.
