Basic cfg not saving

Tinman764 · 01-22-11, 07:11 AM

Small problem that is bugging me - I have edited the negative renown in the basic cfg for sinking neutrals to 0, but the file reverts back to -1 each time I close SH3 after playing.
Usings SH3Cmdr and GWX3 +
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - No Medals on Crew
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Water_Stream_for_Uboats_V4
RB's Exhaust Smoke
GWX - Rafael DSK GUI (updated)
GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010
ANZACMICKS WEATHERED TYPE VII
Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg

I don't roll back with SH3 Cdmr, and I can't figure out why I'm having to edit the cfg every time I want to open the game.

Cheers!

IIRc there's a static settings cfg file in the SH3 Commander directory,settings from this file are always used when you start the game via commander.
Try to change the settings in that cfg or disable it.

The Static Settings.cfg that comes with Commander shouldn't do anything to the renown penalty/reward for sinking ships, it does not change that part if the basic.cfg unless you have manually edited it for that purpose.

Rgr that!
I don't have the game installed atm.I just had some similar problems earlier,and thought this could be the problem.

Hmm this just got a little wierder. I edited the cfg as normal, started SH3 via SH3cmdr and started my patrol (saved prior to leaving port). Paused the game and tab out, checked the cfg and it has reverted back to -1, so it seems my change is being undone as soon as I start running SH3.

This is like asking the TV technician to fix your TV and when he comes to your house, he plugs it in and it is fixed.
Did you save your changes after you edited the file?
