Export and Import Mod Settings

Description


Ive gotten requests of adding exportable mod-settings to my mods from users that are putting together mod-packs and would like to bundle specific mod-settings with the pack.
Instead of implementing this per mod I wrote this mod instead.

This mod adds two small buttons at the top of the mod-options window for all mods (apart from HugsLib as that uses its own options-file for all mod-settings).
With these you can export the current mod-settings to a folder (default is the Desktop-folder but is changable in the mod-settings) and the file is then used to import the mod-settings.

The importing is done by overwriting the current settings with the imported file and then reloading the mod to apply the updated mod-settings. This can trigger warnings/errors depending on how the mod-settings are applied by the mod. If you notice some issues with a mods settings a simple way to reapply the imported settings is to restart the game.

There is also an option to export or import all active mods settings from this mods settings-window.

Since modding is just a hobby for me I expect no donations to keep modding. If you still want to show your support you can gift me anything from my Wishlist or buy me a cup of tea.

  • See if the the error persists if you just have this mod and its requirements active.
  • If not, try adding your other mods until it happens again.
  • Post your error-log using HugsLib or the standalone Uploader and command Ctrl+F12
  • For best support, please use the Discord-channel for error-reporting.
  • Do not report errors by making a discussion-thread, I get no notification of that.
  • If you have the solution for a problem, please post it to the GitHub repository.
  • Use RimSort[github.com] to sort your mods

I solved it by copying the files from my mod settings folder, and then pasting it into my
> %localappdata%\Low\Ludeon Studeos\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios
folder, and replacing whatever files it already contained with the 'wrong' settings

For me, it says the settings are identical, even though they are not

@DaniAngione Simplest way to verify the path is to export the setting on the target computer, overwrite the files in that directory and then import again

I'm having trouble importing settings on a different computer; exporting worked fine and the files seem to be correct, but when I place them in a folder on the other computer and try to import, it says it imported settings for 0 mods... The PC has multiple hard drives/partitions, could that be a problem? I double checked that the folder was right (and the right drive) and yet it doesn't seem to be able to import

@JoeOwnage Yes, this mod just adds a gui to simplify the import-export of them

I thought the config files already do this?
