DPG!!
Posted: Sat May 20, 2006 9:31 pm
Why am I making this thread? Because I don't think a thread was ever made to tell everyone about the Darwinia Preferences Generator, created by trickfred! And therefore, nobody knows about it yet!
DPG was created a long time ago, but I don't think trickfred really told anyone about it, and up until yesterday, it was compatible only with Darwinia version 1.21. It's finally been updated to work with version 1.42.
The utility is extremely useful. It eliminates the need to go and edit preferences.txt manually ever again. It includes options for setting the difficulty, the bootloader, the profile, the mod, and the control mode, as well as all those little things like graphical settings, sound settings, and key mappings.
It also eliminates the need to create a new profile and restart Darwinia when you begin a new mod, since it lets you select the mod and create a new profile before you even run Darwinia!
To use it, simply place it in your Darwinia folder and run it instead of running Darwinia itself. When you've chosen all your settings, click [create new preferences.txt] and then click [exit and launch darwinia]
(It remembers your settings even when Darwinia doesn't, for example the firsttime bootloader. You can easily watch it every time Darwinia starts!)
