    Default how to copy config settting into new configs?

    hi,

    i am trying to create new configs for different sites and games. Is there any way i could clone a config while creating new config. it's pretty tedious to repeat all of the same stuff for different configs.

    i don't seem to be able to find anything from the menu of the software. is there any way to edit/copy certain files to accomplish the task?

    thanks

    Default not even a hardcore way of editing files in config directory?

    i really dislike the fact of having to repeat all of details for each new config. i can deal with it if i could tweak the files in config directory but need instructions from developers.

    thx

    Default

    To be honest it would be probably more difficult to edit the files manually, its not just a matter of copying a file and renaming it, codes have to be edited in several spots and 1 spelling mistake would leave you with a corrupt file. The option to copy it will be available soon though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Actually Jun it turned out to be easier than i expected but i havent tested it yet so backup before trying this.

    Close HM and open the prefs.xml file, all your info for the default cnofiguration is contained within the lines:

    <default.....
    </default>

    So copy this and paste it underneath or above whichever suits but change one of them to something other than default eg

    <full ring.....
    </full ring>

    Bare in mind whichever one is called default will be loaded by default reagrdless of its position in the document. Anyway reload HM and you should now have 2 identical configs default and full ring to choose from.

    ***PLEASE ONLY DO THIS IF YOUR FAMILIAR WITH EDITING THE CODE AS YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR CONFIG
