NEW STARTUP SEQUENCE QUESTION & ANSWER HERE

[toptek]

JUst did the upgate to o.992 build 2482


Having trouble make the memory indicator hide by default.


I did have the PreInit.iss set with this line by default.

- hide "memory indicator"


But if I do it now it longer will hide it by default and I did read in the Defaultstartup.iss were if i try to write my own defaults it will overwrite what's writen there and does )

My question is :

How do i make the memory indicator hide by default now ?.

I'd rather just have FPS show by default.


Please !! remeber "I'm learing still so be kind in exlpaining."

This is a perfectly valid question as things just changed quite a bit for startup options.
---
Part A: Set up actual custom startup file
----
Step 0. Get to the Inner Space Scripts folder
Step 1. Copy DefaultStartup.iss to MyStartup.iss
Step 2. Open MyStartup.iss in notepad or other text editor
Step 3. Make any changes you want (such as removing the "show memory indicator" line)
Step 4. Save

---
Part B: Change startup sequence to use your custom startup file
---
Step 0. Get to the main Inner Space folder
Step 1. Open InnerSpace.xml
Step 2. Find "Session Startup" set.
Step 3. Under that, find "Startup Sequence" set
Step 4. change the one right under that that says "run DefaultStartup" to "run MyStartup"
Step 5. Close and save InnerSpace.xml

Hope this is clear

My question with Step B is that the XML file will change again one day and these custom settings will be overwritten and would be needed to re change.

is there another option to load after the startup other than manually editing a file that will/could change with an update?

I used to use AutoExec.ice in the startup but now the settings getting overwritten with the new startup scripts.

I hope I made myself clear... I am hoping there is another option so I do not have to edit a default IS xml file that may/will get overwritten in the future patches.

InnerSpace.xml has never been and will never be overwritten. This file is intended to be for user configuration.

This file is modified like so:
1. If InnerSpace.xml does not exist, it is created.
2. If certain sets within InnerSpace.xml do not exist, they are created with default settings.

No settings are removed, no sets are removed. Things are only added.

The same is also true for Profiles.xml and Games.xml.
