Overwatch Export Settings All

Post by C-Dark » April 21st, 2023, 10:19 am

I portered my town to a fresh world instance and so I exported all mods settings with Overwatch to import it here, but
  1. Mastercontroller did not keep
    - CAS settings are not set
    - Blacklist is gone (so do I need to make an invalid part from my previous blacklist?)
    - all my Hotkeys are gone
    - all my custom filters are gone
  2. Tagger
    - nothing was saved: no settings, no filters, everything is gone
that's my first glance. I don't know yet what more settings are missing from other nraas mods I have.

So what should I do now, set everything again :( ?
Do I need to export MC settings via MC? I will try this now from my previous game save.

It would be nice if we could get an xml export for making a tuning mod for Mastercontroller and Tagger, so it is loaded immediatly into game like it is possible with SP.

Chain_Reaction I get these two Errors when exporting Mastercontroller (both MC / OW) and Tagger via OW

I have Tagger V5 and all testing Versions of Mastercontroller V 135 and Integration 135b.

The files are in upload I guess, it didn't work to drop them into the textbox here.

Edit: in my game I tried to import via MC, but only OW files are listed, and I got the message that the export file is empty, that is why nothing was imported
And the same with Tagger.

So I do set up everything again in Tagger and MC, maybe it's because I used my created filters for a very long time, so they are not "right" anymore to export and so everything else could not be saved too? :huh:

What I also experience now with Porter
all my sims were packed and unpacked correctly, even the same household amount of sims for each were exactly as before, I only had to move some to ohter lots.

- BUT all family tree sims farther than the dead parents of my oldest living sims have been deleted entirely, no deep geneology?

I did use porter in the past and if I remember right, there were more far more connections kept also from dead sims, I don't know, is it because I use OW clean dead parents of dead parents, so everything will vanish when porter the town?

Can I just add that Traveler settings for 'Ageless Foreign Sims' don't stick either when exporting settings using Overwatch, because that's been the case with me. I'm guessing it might be an exception because it's based on which worlds are installed whenever you import the settings to a fresh new world/save.

I just find it annoying that I have to make sure this particular setting is adjusted to my liking, every single time... :huh:

I tested now in my new world save:
- in MC export settings
- then reset all settings I redit and
- import them with MC

Now all settings inluding the new set filters have been imported successfully, so it has to do that my previous settings were far older than the new test version.

With Tagger I remember that the settings were never restored from OW, also in previous versions and still do not.

C-Dark, I don't know if you have fixed it, specifically the family tree issue, but what I would do is to change the options in OW just to move the family. In OW I would set not to clean the dead and not to affect active family. ;)

Affect active family is still on, I don't want my own sims to have trouble.

Yeah I unset it, so next time - when I porter, more deeper geneology is kept (I will check it then). But I am not sure how deep the geneology from dead sims will stick when all urns of all related sims are packed.

I always porter the whole town (residents) so, everything worked good.

The family trees in general are all correct, only not deep anymore so I only can see blood relation from my previous familytree xml export.
But now my town save loads very quickly again. I had some trouble with save loading, now everything is fine again.
A fresh world instance can increase performance a lot and get rid of anything which made problems you could not find out.

I portered to the same town, my own created one, not to a different world.
