Created page with 'thumb| The Windows Logo. This page describes Windows specific information for AssaultCube. == Configuration files == AC puts its configuration file…'

New page

[[Image:system_windows.png|thumb| The Windows Logo.]]

This page describes Windows specific information for AssaultCube.

== Configuration files ==
AC puts its configuration files in ''/C:/Program Files/AssaultCube_vx.x/config'' Windows also can use a home

directory in this case, My Documents, and from their it is simply ''/AssaultCube_vx.x/config''.
== Adding custom stuff ==

===Custom player models===
You can add custom player models like this:
# open your AssaultCube_vx.x folder.
# open the "packages" folder
# open the "models" folder
# open the "playermodels" folder
# open the "custom" folder
# drag/copy your downloaded player skins here

===Custom maps===
# Follow steps 1 and 2 of [[#Custom player models|"custom player models"]]
# open the "maps" folder
# drag/copy your downloaded [[map]]s here

===Custom mods===
# Follow steps 1 and 2 of [[#Custom player models|"custom player models"]]
# open the "mods" folder
# drag/copy your downloaded mod here

== Keybindings ==
You can bind keys to tasks and commands.
You can do that in game, for example by using the unused ' and \ keys:
bind QUOTE "conskip -1000; toggleconsole"
bind BACKSLASH [ screenshot; sleep 3 [ echo "Screenshot created." ] ]

You can add the commands above to your [[autoexec.cfg]] in your config dir, or type them in game by prepending them

with a slash (/). Of course, the keys chosen are just examples which were picked because they have no function by

default.

 == Configuration files ==
-There are two seperate directories you need to distinguish when talking about your AssaultCube installation. The installation directory (''C:/Program Files/AssaultCube_vx.x/config'') and your personal game-home directory (if you chose that (highly recommended) option during the install process) in ''My Documents'' (default). You should always change things inside your game-home, because then you only need to move that directory or (re-)move specific parts from it to return to a vanilla-flavoured version of the game (read: the original).

 AC puts its configuration files in ''./conf/''. Your current settings reside in ''saved.cfg'' and any startup calls should be put into [[autoexec.cfg]].
-If you need to override exisiting files, just copy them from the installation-folder to your game-home and edit them there. As an example: copy over ''config/keymap.cfg'' if you want to add new keycodes for using them in-game. Another example: if you want to add some more maps to your maps-menu, just copy over ''config/menus.cfg'' and edit the appropriate alias(es) (like ''defaultmaps'').

 Most errors, such as "Win32 exception" errors are caused by bad drivers. Search on the hardware or computer manufacturer's website for the latest driver, or consider reverting to an older version if that worked before.
-For newer operating systems, make sure AssaultCube can write (and read) to the directories (folders) it needs. This includes "C:\Program Files\AssaultCube..." and your home directory. To set permissions, right click on the folder, click "Properties" and navigate to the "Security" tab.
