Multiple Player Settings on one computer?

[kwk]

I share a computer with a friend and we both have different player settings and controls. Is there a way for us to play with different player settings profiles some how?

Use separate .ini config files?

Zandro generates a new INI based on what your username is.

You could write your own configs, too. Just make two txt files in your Zandronum folder, rename them to "dsfdsdsf.cfg" or whatever, and write whatever settings you want, like:

Code: Select all

mouse_sensitivity 0.55
color "80 80 80" 
bind e +use
bind z invprev
bind c invnext
bind x invuse

etc.

Then, when your friend has played, just pop open the console with ~ and type "exec dsfdsdsf.cfg" and everything in that file will run. I'd think this is the least hassle and quickest way to swap settings. No renaming or swapping .ini files around before playing.

^You could even bind for "exec dsfdsdsf.cfg" to a key for extra convenience. :o

I was going to suggest mking a batch file to swap the ini files (90s style), but the in-game bind to exec a cfg file is even better.

I tried making a cfg file but I don not know all the code for everything to make it from scratch. I basically need an easy way to load with two different ini files. I am not interested in making another windows user for my friend to use just for when he comes over to play a game. Back in the good old days with Unreal Tournament 2004 I could set a parameter to run a specific config with a windows shortcut for multiple users on one windows user and machine. I am looking for something similar that will work that way. Any ideas? Thanks.

I basically need an easy way to load with two different ini files.

The "-config" command line parameter allows you to specify which ini file Zandronum uses.

And you can easily supply extra command line parameters in IDE or Doomseeker options.

Can you post an example command with the parameters of loading a different ini file? Also where would I put this in doomseeker? Thanks.

[kwk]

Never mind I went into custom parameters on doomseeker and typed

-config *******.ini

It worked like a charm. Thank you all for your help and input!
