I'm trying to create a server and from what I understand I need to create this file "settings_custom.cfg". Well I put the settings I want in a notepod document (I also tried a word document) and I try to save it in the folder "config" Also am I supposed to be doing this in the Armagetron Advanced Server or just the regular armagetron advanced?
Anyway when I try to save in either this is what it says:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armagetron Advanced\config\in game.txt
You don't have permission to save in this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission
Would you like to save to Documents folder instead?"
I tried to open properties to remove the read only lock thing on it but when I do it says the same thing and if I go back to properties read only is once again magically on. Also the operating system I'm using is Windows Vista. And I'm running the latest version of Armagetron Advanced... If that helps..
Cant create a settings_custom.cfg file
Re: Cant create a settings_custom.cfg file
You should be putting it in the user configuration folder. That way, when you upgrade the server your custom modifications/settings will persist.
According to Customizing the game, the location on Windows Vista is “C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Armagetron”. So try putting it in “C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Armagetron\config”. Note: you will probably need to create the config directory.

Re: Cant create a settings_custom.cfg file
About the configuration folder if you mean when you click open file location on armagetron advance and then it says "config" that's where I've been trying to put it..
As for the last part I went to my computer and drive C and clicked on users but once there, there wasn't a username... However if I click on "system" there's a appdata but there's nothing in that folder..
I think this all comes down to Vista because I tried placing the notepad document (settings_custom.cfg) in config on my windows xp computer and it worked perfectly.. So idk why vista can't.

That's because you have to replace 'username' with your actual username there.nh97103 wrote:there wasn't a username...
