dMZX Forums: [EDITOR CNF] Board Defaults -> Archived Requests -> Tracker

In MegaZeux 2.51, and probably a lot of other DOS versions, when you made a new board and changed the Board Settings (turning off things like Shooting Enabled, Fire Burns Forever, turning off Saving, etc) MegaZeux would remember those settings for the next board
you made. Having to go and change these settings for every single new board I make is nauseating, can this feature return? Sorry if this is duped in Bug Reports, I only skimmed Feature Requests for it.

All of these options will be reset between world loads.

board_default_width = 50

When you create a new board, it will use the current board's settings as a template for it. I need to go back to 2.51 and see what aspects of this I want to copy/add/remove, but I'm guessing it will just be I-menu things, the viewport settings, and MAYBE the board size.

Updating version to: 2.84c

Beep boop!

What will probably happen here is that there will be a button in the B screen and the ALT+P screen that allows you to save the settings as default.

There are config file options for the board defaults as of GIT 0ed6087. I'm going to try to avoid the "EBML editor file" concept altogether for now -- as of GIT 639a330 there is a standard [filename].editor.cnf that will be loaded by the editor and I feel like this will take care of most of what we need the editor file for.

As far as having this specific feature request fully implemented, all we're lacking now is an automation process for filling in the [game].editor.cnf file. I'm not about to ask every MZX user to manually fill these in for every world, configuring a board and pressing a keystroke (thinking T or CTRL+T for "Template") to save it as default should be expected.

Updating status to: Implemented
Issue fixed in: GIT (debytecode)

Implemented in GIT 65eec0c. There's now a button in both the Board Info dialog and in the Size/Position dialog to save everything to the editor cnf.
