Modders that make a mod using the modswitch and are stumped as how to make their installer create a valid .cfg file, since that is machine-dependent, here's how to do it via a simple batchfile you run on exit via the installer or SFX:
you create a headercfg.txt file with the feature part:
[features]
editor = true
mod = mymodname
and save that, *with* the extra blank line at the end.
now create a batch file called cfgfixer.bat that contains the following lines:
@echo off
cls
copy headercfg.txt+medieval2.preference.cfg mymodname.cfg
and save that, blank line is not important here.
This will concatenate via a simple dos file copy function the two files into a 3d file, namely exactly what you want, a valid local cfg WITH your info.
Just add a batchfile that runs medieval2.exe with that config, and you are done.
That just needs to contains the line
medieval2.exe @mymodname.cfg
and save as Launch_mymodname.bat and you're all set.
Enjoy. :2thumbsup:
