file_first for Kingdoms

[GrnEyedDvl]

I dont think anyone has really noticed that all the vanilla games run off the same .cfg file: M2TW, and all 4 Kingdoms campaigns.

So that means you dont have to alter every shortcut for it to run, you can just add this to your vanilla cfg file and all 5 games run fine:

[io]
file_first = true

Use the normal mod switch method for mod folders.

*Cough* Brainfart right now, but which file is this? medieval2.preference? 'cause I'm editing that and it's not working...been a while, though, since I've had to do this. Do I need to make a .bat file, as well?

[GrnEyedDvl]

medieval2.preference.cfg

Then just launch from the shortcuts installed when you installed Kingdoms.

i'm pretty sure the medieval2.preference cfg is over written to its original state, please correct me if i'm mistaken

When Kingdoms is installed you mean? I dont think so, though on this machine I uninstalled M2, reinstalled, and then installed Kingdoms without changing anything at all. On my other machine I installed Kingdoms into an unpacked M2 folder, ran the unpacker which overwrote all previously unpacked files and everything ran fine. I dont remember having to go back and fix all my cfg settings but then I havent really played on that machine either. I will look tomorrow.

i just made changes and loaded kingdoms exe, checked and the change is still there.
ran the M2 exe and chacked but it cfg is back the way it was just like before kingdoms was installed
