    Default Hader's Pref.txt Quick Walkthrough

    Hader’s quick guide to preferences.txt

    Lets just say I was inspired by an idiot who hates Rome because of green triangles….something related to preferences .txt.

    From top to bottom, some important preferences. Important ones that are often asked about are in blue.

    SUBTITLES:FALSE
    Change this to TRUE to automatically have subtitles enabled when you start RTW. Can also be done through Options ingame.

    FOG_OF_WAR:TRUE
    Toggles Fog Of War. Also done with the toggle_fow cheat ingame


    EVENT_CUTSCENES:TRUE
    These cutscenes are the ones you see when a general dies, you capture a wall, etc. Change to false to turn those off.

    AUTO_SAVE:TRUE
    Turns the autosave feature on or off.

    SHOW_BANNERS:TRUE
    These are the banners that appear above your units in battle. If you don’t like these, or need them out for a video, change this to false.


    DISABLE_BACKGROUND_FMV:FALSE
    Change this to false if you want a nice staticy background instead of that crappy movie in the background.

    DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:FALSE
    Change this to false to disable the green arrow markers (AKA STUPID LITTLE GREEN TRIANGLES) that appear under each man in a unit in battle.


    TGA_CAPTURE_WIDTH:1024
    Changes the size of screenshots you take ingame. 1024 is default, and best.

    LABEL_CHARACTERS:FALSE
    LABEL_SETTLEMENTS:TRUE
    On the campaign map there are labels under cities and characters in an army. True will make these labels always appear, false will only make them visible when moused over,.

    FIRST_TIME_PLAY:FALSE
    If you do not want to play the prologue to get the Imperial campaign, change this to False.


    MUTE_ADVISOR:FALSE
    Pretty self-explanitory

    EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES:FALSE
    I just noticed this at the bottom of the text. I think it will allow to edit city names ingame juist Like in BI. yay!

    Hmm...I am wondering if this would make a good addition to my Tech Help Thread (the stickied one in this forum). Anyone else agree?

    I do as not everyone knows what they do.

    1 problem though when i changed this:

    DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:FALSE from true to false they still do not appear....

    If you want the triangles, change to TRUE and if not, FALSE
