Unable to save my setings

I'm new on warsow, so maybe this is a silly question. I would like to know how to save my game settings, because each time I quit the game I lose them all ( player name, keyboard controls, graphic and sound options ). Is there to save them so I don't have to configure my settinsg each time I open the game ?
Btw I use warsow on Mac os x 10.5

Settings do save automatically - however, each mod has their own config. In a nutshell, if you for example do your setting changes when you're playing Bomb&Defuse on promod server, these settings are not available in basewsw next time you start warsow, only on promod servers.

The best way is to save your settings to autoexec.cfg in basewsw (you can do writeconfig autoexec), then they're available for all mods too.

Or you can use writeconfig badger in a mod, and then exec badger to load them.

I configure all my settings when I'm on the main menu, not on a server and they do not save. Not even my player name saves, or the fact that I play in a window and not fullscreen.

Did you use the warsow installer .exe?

I think you might have ticked off 'use profile dir' checkbox in the installer, and if you installed it in program files dir, your regular user account doesn't have write permissions there.

This is the likely scenario that comes to my mind :)

Nope I didnt use any installer just downloaded from site.

Right, OS X. Sounds like some kind of permission problem anyway. ~/Library/Application Support/Warsow 0.6 is the profile dir, check if it exists and that you can write there.

Quitting warsow with alt+F4 AFTER you did some ingame config changes, doesnt save your config. It doesn't here anyway :o

I quit by pressing the quit button in the main menu

ok thanks I'll see :)

I'm actually having the same problem. I'm in Windows, and I dual boot, 2 separate installs, and getting this issue on both of them (Win7 64 and XP Pro 32). For a long time I thought I had an issue with some kind of 'Read Only' folder setting, but this is the only game that does this and I've used multiple fresh (wiped registry clean and everything) installs but still it won't save any of my settings after I've left the game and come back.



p.s., I've been a WSW player for probably 5 or 6 years by now, and I'm actually very knowledgeable regarding technical issues (31 year old telecommunications tech, build and OC computers on the side for money for a decade).


Any help getting something resolved, even just creating an autoexec.cfg and showing me where to put it, would be awesome.

writeconfig autoexec :)

you can place your autoexec in basewsw/autoexec.cfg

Where is my actual config so I can use it as a template for the autoexec? 'dedicated_autoexec.cfg' and 'tvserver_autoexec' are the only two config files in my basewsw folder.

%appdata%\Warsow-0.x\basewsw
