Creating multiple Darkraidiant custom shortcuts issue:


Recommended Posts

So I have multiple set of of shortcuts for TDM/DR for the normal Darkmod and SVN folders -

 

Normal:

  • TDM - E:\Darkmod\TheDarkMod.exe +set com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set fs_currentfm myfm
  • DR - "C:\Program Files\DarkRadiant\DarkRadiant.exe" fs_game=darkmod/fms/myfm

Svn:

  • TDM - D:\TdmSvn\TheDarkMod.exe +set com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set fs_currentfm myfm
  • DR - "C:\Program Files\DarkRadiant\DarkRadiant.exe" fs_game=tdmsvn/fms/myfm

The issue is I alternate between Normal and Svn, and each time I have to edit the paths in DR -

Is there anyway I can set/get DR to change its paths on the fly as per a shortcut, without prompting me each time..?

Maybe this is iffy advice that will be looked down on, but you can hex-edit the folder reference used by DarkRadiant EXE (in "Application Data" folder) and have many different versions of DR with many different settings there.

Just grab your favourite hex-editor, make a copy of the EXE and open it up, and find the reference "DarkRadiant" that comes after "cannot find APPDATA environment variable" (in later versions it's the reference just before it), and change it to whatever you want. So far I haven't found it has broken any functionality although I can't guarantee that, but one thing you need to make sure of - keep the reference the exact same amount of characters, so for example call it "BarkRadiant" or "LarkRadiant". :P

 

You don't need to make a whole other folder for it, just a different EXE in the same folder, and it will use the different settings.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
