Saving Graphics Settings?
Quote:
Does anyone know a way to save the Graphics settings?
I have a set of settings that works well for play, except for Mothership Raids, where it is just simpler to crank everything to minimum. It's easy to crank to minimum, but with all of the settings now with Ultra Mode, it's a pain inputting everything again when the raid is over. |
In the options window, once you get all your settings the way you like them (in all the tabs), go to the "General" tab and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will see 3 sets of buttons; "save to default" and "load to default"... hit all the save buttons... BUT be careful, the last set of buttons is reversed order from the first two.
Once you have saved your settings to default, you just need to go back to that window and "load" them all up after your ship raids.

Alternatively, you could look for the file, and use the "bind_load_file filename.txt" command. For that matter, you could even create a custom file for your ship raid settings and use the bind_load_file for both situations.

Sadly, that won't save the Graphics settings, just the General Options settings.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Really? Because as I click each save button, the system chat spits back the name of the files saved, and the filenames seem to correspond to the various tabs respectively.
The only one that I've noticed is not grouped with the rest of them is the keybinds... which need to managed (saved/loaded) in their own tab.

I opened my options.txt file, and none of the graphics settings are listed there. No graphics settings, like Shadows, FSAA, etc.

Graphics settings are stored in the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\COH". You can export them into registry file using "regedit"

You will need to do it twice: first time with your regular settings, second time with ship raid settings.
After you got 2 registry files, you can apply one of them before starting CoH.
