GZDoom 4.13.2 Silicon not saving user settings

[ichxg0]

As the title states, my GZDoom is having a hard time saving three particular preferences - Allow Crouch, Allow Jump and Allow Freeload. For some unknown reason, they are always set to default, which is on, which is not what I prefer.. All other settings save just fine. Only these 3 that refuse.

Does anybody else get this behavior?

Could you be auto-loading a mod that explicitly deactivates them?

BTW, this seems likely to be more of a technical issue than a bug. I'll wait to see how the discussion pans out but I will move the thread for you if that turns out to be the case.

Ah, sorry, I'm new; I guess you're right, it may not actually be a bug, I was hoping someone else might chime in, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if it's a launcher thing. I can make a new topic if it doesn't belong here -

But to answer your question, it's not an autoload issue, it was acting like this right out of the box, nothing but an IWAD loaded. FWIW I checked my GZDoom ini and freelook is set to false...

The only options I'm aware of for disabling crouch, jump and freelook are the ones in the "Gameplay Options" menu, and the options in that menu are what's called "dmflags". Those don't get saved like other options because they were originally made for configuring multiplayer games. (And still are mostly for that)
If you want them to stay on, you can use an autoexec file to set them on when GZDoom starts, though I don't know where you'd put it on Mac OS.

Hey, nice! That makes sense, that I couldn't find where they were saved.. They weren't. I'm pretty sure I know where to put the auto exec file, just gotta figure out what it needs. Thanks, this is a nice solution!

Soo, I'm back; I figured out where to *put* the autoexec.cfg file, (I think you can define the path in the main cfg.ini file) but I realized I don't know the commands to, "set flags" maybe? I'm not sure that's what it's called, but I looked at a list of console commands for GZDoom (all of them I guess) and I couldn't find anything related to crouch/jump/freelook. It couldn't be a straightforward as simply as putting "allowcrouch true" ?

You just need to put this in the autoexec file:

Code: Select all

sv_nojump true
sv_nocrouch true
sv_nofreelook true
