Default Possible U.I. styles question

In Darkwraiths NewUI's_TDC 4.3.1 the settings in \data\scripts\menu\The Darkwraith user options\ looks like this
SH5Enhanced=0
SH3style=1
SH4style=2
I'm guessing thatSH5=0 is the enhanced version that darkwraith recommends,and thats what I want to use.If anyone can confirm that,I will be thankful.Darkwraith sure has a lot of options one can choose from,and I hope I'm doing it correctly,as I just use JSGME to activate 4.3.1 patch2,w/o enabling any of the many options available.I would appreciate a bit of help with that.

you have to set the SHStyle=SH5Enhanced if you want to use the SH5 Enhanced UI.

This thread leads me to an idea: why don't you "hardcode" the default settings?
Your mod would then work without user options file at all, and who would like to modify default, would only need to add the modified lines to settings, without the need of going through all the then redundant default.

Also transitions between mod's versions would be less painful, as old config files would be compatible upwards (unless names on variables would change).

I'm writing an app that will gather all the settings from an old version and apply them to a new version when you upgrade. I'm just not finished writing the code for it yet. With this then you will only need to edit the new options included in the new version.

That's true. He's the man.

We need to remember to repeat that very often, so that he doesn't get too tired too fast. We need him.
