Permanently storing user configuration?

[Luthien]

How can random configuration settings be made permanent? When I add something like

 

seta pm_bobroll "0.0"

 

to DarkMod.cfg, it just gets deleted the next time the file is written.

Try putting things like that in autoexec.cfg.

 

Darkmod.cfg is written out each session.

Nope, that doesn't work if I put pm_bobroll or pn_jumpheight in autoexec.cfg (or autocommands.cfg), On the console I can see that both files have been read, and if I look at DarkMod.cfg I see that my custom settings have been saved at the end of the file. But still, the game just uses the default settings until I re-execute the settings from the console. :-/

 

To me that looks like the defaults are set only after the config files have been loaded.

(most) Defaults are set basically as soon as the engine and game start since they are specified in the CVAR definitions. The default and auto configs are meant to be loaded next, followed by Darkmod.cfg. I'll throw this onto the bug tracker for investigation after work (if I remember - poke me if I don't). Logged as #3691

The two cvars mentioned above have the flag CVAR_NETWORKSYNC set instead of CVAR_ARCHIVE (SysCvars.cpp).

Did this ever get resolved?
