Map#628

Game virtually un playable for me. When I open map, takes 5-8 seconds to open , game stalls

Go to city map filters from big map (left side) and unselect the frontlines box

using mac, unable to disable frontlines – it automatically just turns it back on for me

Tried everything I could think of, no way to disable frontlines; it always just turns it back on

This works on my macs, seems to have worked on JW’s mac as well

Yep, did that over and over; it just automatically turns it back on– turns on all the settings if i try and uncheck them. Unable to change any filter

Am I able to override in xml file? Didn’t see setting for it though

That suggests that your changes are being written to the wwiiol.xml

On windows that would suggest that the wwiiol.xml is set to read only, no idea as to if that’s a option on mac

In finder, open documents. Open the wwiiol folder. Open the wwiiol.xml with either xcode or textedit. click find and type frontlines. Look at the end of the code line for front lines, if it has “true” change “true” to “false”

That said both of my macs save that setting

ok, changed so directory and everything inside has read/write permisions, including xml file.
I clicked defaults; soon as i change brigade or go to brigade HQ- everything automatically selects again.
I changed it in xml to false; then it changed it to 1; then it changed it to 0.
I changed it to false; quit game; and it went back to 0.
No matter what I unselect, everything goes back checked if i spawn in or change brigade etc.

As a test, I clicked on defaults;(turns some off); then Prefs tab; then back; then Theater map tab; then map filters; and they are all enabled again

Says this currently in xml: <scalar name="mapFilter.showfrontlines" type="long" value="0"/>

value should be true or false not 0. <value name="mapFilter.showfrontlines" type="bool" value="false"/>

Also type should be bool not long. I’d suggest deleting the wwiiol.xml or renaming it then launch the game and it will create a new one

And what you pasted is the scalar or zoom level line not the on off toggle

Deleted xml file, lots of warnings about not shutting down correctly.
Had to reset lots of settings.
How to turn off that annoying box that pops up at GUI with tips?

New line says this in new xml file:
<scalar name="mapFilter.showfrontlines" type="long" value="1"/>

Heh, I changed it to 0, but when restarted game it was back to 1.

Ah ha – GOT IT….. used….
<value name="mapFilter.showfrontlines" type="bool" value="false"/>
Problem is, I’ll have to see if the system changes it when I quit.
Seems it didn’t change when I saved it. Whew; might be ok for now.
