Saving UI Layout settings


Coin

 

Posted

I swapped out my drive and I've reinstalled CoX but totally forgot about saving my UI layout settings. In fact I never even considered it but now when I make a new toon the settings are all over the shop.

Can somebody please remind me how to do that?

Re-arrange things how you want it and then go to your options, it's on the bottom of the first window, 2 sets of buttons on the bottom

also /chatsavefile [filename] and /wdwsavefile [filename] save all your chat channel tabs and windows (where filename is the location and name of the file i.e c:\CoH\chat1.txt)

then you can just use chatloadfile and wdwloadfile to load them up onto whatever alt you're playing with at the time

However if you use:
/chatsave
/wdwsave

When you create a new character the settings saved will load as the new defaults, while using a proper name as quoted means you can save on a per/character basis.

Load commands are:
/chatload
/wdwload
But you only need to save the files to start with once they are in the CoX root they'll load up with each new character...

Right now I need to find the layout I like the best to become my default

I tend not to do it with the layout myself, but I do do it with my chat.

What I should have added is this also applies to the keybinds, if you have the perfect binds use /bind_save and store a new default keybinds.txt. /bind_load will load it up again.

Only my MMs and my WP tank have a different layout to the others really. With the others all the differs is the size of chat tabs and box placement. MMs and tank have a 4th tray and both in different places.

Keybinds would be difficult
