New page

Removing Editmode can be useful if you want to distribute your game and don´t want others to cheat on your game.

== Getting Started: ==

*Okay, to begin you will need to open up the root directory of your game (such as the Platinum Arts Sandbox folder in your programs). ]http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/Xeon14/tut_1.png]
*You will want to navigate to the folder that contains your 'config_rpg.cfg' file, for me- it is located in the 'my_stuff' folder. NOTE: if you want to edit a game mode other than RPG, please open the respective config file. (FPS = config_fps.cfg; SSP = config_ssp.cfg)
[http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/Xeon14/tut_2.png]
*Open your 'config_rpg.cfg' with a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. Once open, you will want to navigate your way down the file until you locate the key binds section. There, you will find binds for all the keys used in-game.

== The (Somewhat) Tricky Part ==

*Okay! We are half way there! Hopefully i haven't lost any of you yet, because it will only get more confusing! I will attempt to keep confusion at a minimum by providing step-by-step instructions for each Game-Mode, along with a lot more pictures! :D

*RPG Mode - Okay, so you have your config_rpg.cfg file open, and you have found all the bind key functions (if you haven't, please restart the tutorial). Now, for the RPG game we need to edit out all the key binds that toggle edit mode- which are in this case all F1 keys. In my config file i have 2 separate declarations of the F1 key bind, you must remove BOTH. Though, rather than remove them completely, all you must do is place two forward slashes(//) in front of the bind, that way you don't delete something you might need! Below is the edited version of both binds:

*Now save the file and start up a game in RPG mode- if you did all the steps correctly you should not be able to open the edit window with F1. However, if you wish to remove these edits, all you have to do is delete the file you edited, run a game in RPG mode, and a new fixed version will be added back in the same spot.

*FPS Mode - Okay, pretty much the same as RPG mode, just the key binds a bit different. You are going to want to open your 'config_rpg.cfg' and scroll down until you get to the key binds. Once again we will be editing out all the keys that toggle the edit mode. In the FPS config, there is only one declaration of the edit mode key bind, but it stretches 4 lines- so be sure you edit out ALL 4 lines! Once you locate the bind, you can edit out all the data with the two forward slashes (//) as i have done below.

*Once you have edited it, save the file and test it out in RPG mode. If you want the original file back, delete the file you edited, run a new FPS game, and when you exit out you'll have a brand new config file with working edit mode key binds.

*SSP Mode - Once again, same idea. You want to open you 'config_ssp.cfg' file and scroll down until you reach the key binds. The SSP binds are the same as the FPS binds, you are looking to edit out the E key and the associated binds. The files that you musty edit out stretch 4 lines once again, so make sure you edit out all 4 lines. After you place the two forward slashes(//) in front of each line, as i have done below:

*You will want to save your file and load up a SSP game. If you don't like your changes, delete the file you modified, run a SSP game, and on exit you will have a new config file.
