Exporting Settings

Post by polarisrr » July 26th, 2020, 2:43 pm

Hi guys, I'm having an issue with exporting all of my settings. I do the usual City Hall>Nraas>Overwatch>Export settings but I cant find them in my library, I wanted to put the file away as a backup. They do show up in Edit town library, but in the My documents library they might be renamed or something, since all the files have the same name, I've no clue how to find them though, any help? :oops:

Sort the files in the Library folder by date, by clicking on the "Date Modified" header at the top of the column, so the most recent file is at the top. That first file at the top should then be your settings file, which you can rename for easy reference. You could check the file by opening it in S3PE and there should be only two resources (I believe), FAMD and REFS.

If the file has any other resources, it's not the right file as far as I know. If it's not, try making sure the last thing you do in game is to save your settings, after you've saved the game, of course. Then exit and re-sort the files in the Library folder to get the latest file at the top again.

Others may have an easier way to do this but that's the only way I know. Hope that helps! :-)

Oooh! I did not think of that, thank you! It is supposed to be only 1 file, right? I selected All settings, as in every nraas mod I have installed, not one by one :D

Thanks again!

Yes, if you followed this path...
City Hall > NRaas > Overwatch > Immediate > Export Settings
...and selected several mods on the "Export Settings" screen so they were all highlighted, then clicked the checkmark and typed in one name to save the settings under, they will all be in the same package file in the Library folder. :-)

Yep sarah's right it's the only way I figured out to do it too.

Export settings, then alt+tab go to library and sort by date. The file created last will be your settings, it saves as gibberish like: 0x2498721987429
