Settings Editor

Brief

The Settings editor tool is used for editing saved game settings outside of the game. Note that the developers have added a command line setting to save changes done via the console that would otherwise need to be done each time. Prior to this addition, changes to the HWR.exe.cfg file found within the games directory offered permanent storage of these settings, which is what this tool is used to edit, and what the in-game console command saves to.

Features

You can open, save, reload and add items to the settings freely. This can be used to store multiple configuration set-ups for different purposes. Note that the changes to the HWR.exe.cfg file must be done prior to the game launching, as the game only reads from this file once when the game initially loads. There is currently no known way to reload this configuration in-game.

In order to edit any of the saved values, simply double-click on the name or value field to change that setting. If you need to add a new setting, then click the "Add" button. A new entry at the bottom of the list will be available for you to set the setting name and value.

Common settings to permanently add are:

• ui_key_count <0/1> &emdash; Such as ui_key_count 1 to always have the key numeric value shown
• g_multiplayer_limit <number> &emdash; Such as g_multiplayer_limit 8 to store multiplayer sessions up to 8 players on run
• g_multiplayer_ping_limit <number> &emdash; Such as g_multiplayer_ping_limit 1000 to allow for a longer ping period before clients are timed out
