EW ToolBoks + custom XComGameCore.ini?

[Amiga4ever2013]

Hi,

I used Resource Hacker to mod EW XComGameCore.ini without any problems. I wanted to enable more mods like Dissapearing corpse, Camera free rotation, Remove death animation so I used ToolBoks 1.6.2. Now ToolBoks replace XComGameCore.ini every time when I launched game. Any idea how to force ToolBoks to read my own XComGameCore.ini when I launch the game?

Thanks for any help

Yeah I tried to use recource hacker and Exalt reworked mod but they wouldn't work together. I would like to know was well.

Read the thread 'Default--ini editing or XCom--ini editing?'. Short answer: The game overwrites those files (which are in the 'My Games' subfolder) every time it launches. You have to make your changes to the 'Default...' versions. And Resource Hacker (RH) makes changes to the internal EXE version of those files in what is called the 'resource cache', but they get overwritten in memory by the loose file versions. One of the fundamental changes Firaxis made with EW was to shift much of the variable values from internal to external sources to make simple mods easier. So you just need to use a simple text editor on the loose files rather than RH. (Which reminds me to update the 'Basic Guide to installing mods' article in that regard.)

I was a big fan of the Amiga too, back in the day, especially a certain XCOM game :)
