Hey, an old thread relevant to my interests...
The problem with this seems to be that it won't save the cvars between plays. You can't exec an external list of settings from an alias, either. Or force a writeini.
So what do? How would I set something like this up without the player having to hop into the menu every time they play?

You need to define aliases for your "set to default" command in the KEYCONF lump of your project:

Code: Select all

alias mygame_defaults1 "set mygame_var1 [whatever the default number is]; set mygame_var2 [whatever the default number is] (etc)"
Then in MENUDEF:

Code: Select all

	Command "Restore Default Settings", 			"mygame_defaults1"
Hope that helps. o.o

Changing multiple CVARs in MenuDef

My question is pretty much as the title states, how do I change multiple CVARs in MenuDef?
I'm doing up a mod with some custom CVAR setup in the menus, and I'm trying to have a single button that sets most of the CVARs to predefined values, not unlike a "Reset to Defaults" button. How can I go about doing this?
