HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
Starting from next spring release modders will be able to tweak, remove or rename the engine hardcoded settings (such as starting metal) , if you don't like the default options:
a) copy EngineOptions.lua from springcontent.sdz and add to your mod package
b) tweak values in existing options and/or remove unwanted options or entries in option types.
Don't add any new key (or key element) which isn't listed in the file, it won't work; for such functionality,use LuaRules and ModOptions, an exception is group keytypes, them can be added as the modder likes.
Don't rename existing keys ( the option name can still be renamed tho ), they will stop working and will make the controls useless in lobby interface programs.
c) ???
d) profit!

BTW, is there a way to make an option have a fixed value but not show up? Removing it would use the default, what if you want it to be non-default?
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
You specify your own default...
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
I can't even find info on modoptions.lua in the wiki, much less this stuff.Hoi wrote:Either works.
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
That only works for values you include, no?zwzsg wrote:You specify your own default...
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
try type = hidden and pray it works...?

Oops, I understood just now what KDR meant. Anyway,
The def of the key='GameMode' is still unread!

Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
Did you try SL too or only TASClient? I wouldn't put it past TC to fail on that.
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
I dunno, my SL didn't support Spring getting reinstalled.
Re: HOWTO remove/tweak engine settings for mods
If this even is still relevant then it should just be on wiki like modrules.lua which is a similiar file.
