Possible to modify values without exiting the game?

[psrkallez06 7]

So I'm modifying a cars top speed and acceleration, everytime i wanna change something i have to: unpack the pbo, convert config.bin to config.css, change values, convert back to .bin, repack pbo, start the game.

 

It takes time to restart everytime. is there another solution that allows me to change stuff directly ingame? Thanks!

dev branch + diag.exe + mergeConfig

Thanks gonna try that, but my config is a config.bin file, then i have to convert to cpp before i make my changes.. any way to avoid that? Thanks.

Well, the error message does tell you what went wrong... you're missing a ; somewhere ;)

 

First of all I would add the ; at the line you execute.

diag_mergeConfigFile ["C:\Users\Xane\Desktop\config.cpp"];

And second you might want to check the contents of the config.cpp file to see if there are any missing ; around there.

Don't binarize your pbo when you pack it while you're developing. Only binarize before you distribute the pbo. Make changes, pack, load game... that's the way I've always done it. Save a mission in the editor as a test environment to make things faster.
