Title: WXlauncher not applying settings on nightly
Post by: hirmuolio on March 22, 2017, 04:54:12 am
Using wxlauncher-0.12.0-rc.2 and latest nightly 21-3-2017 (but it started with some earlier nightly).

If I change any setting in launcher and launch the nightly build the setting change is not applied at all. Things like mod selection, joystick, resolution.
The changes are saved somewhere. launcher still remembers them after restarting.

To make changes apply I need to launch 3.7.4 once. After this I can switch to nightly.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

MediaVP 2014 was set as active mod with 3.7.4. Then I changed active mod to Silent Threath: Reborn and launched 3.7.5 debug. Game launches with MediaVP 2014 as active mod.

Odd thing: Your link claims that the log should be in %appdata%\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data with 3.7.5 but it was in \freespace2\data\ .

I don't know much about reading logs, but could you check your mod.inis? Whatever it is you're trying to run, STR, I believe you said, that's not what's actually loading.
Code: [Select]
-mod MediaVPs_2014,MediaVPs_2014
Also, I haven't used debug recently, but 3.7.4 logs are supposed to go to Freespace 2 folder, while 3.7.5 logs should go to appdata. I don't know, ask someone else.

Mod ini look normal
Code: [Select]
[launcher]
modname      = MediaVPs 2014;
image255x112 = FSU-MVP.bmp;
image182x80  = FSU-MVP_small.bmp;
infotext     = Freespace II - SVN MediaVPs;
website      = http://www.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums;
mantis      = http://www.hard-light.net/mantis;

Code: [Select]
[launcher]
modname      = Silent Threat: Reborn v1.4 - MediaVPs 2014;
image255x112 = fsport-str.bmp;
infotext     = As the Great War rages on, you've been commissioned by Galactic Terran Intelligence for special intelligence operations.  Your objectives are to contain the Shivan onslaught and preserve the fragile Terran-Vasudan alliance.  But a series of suspicious events cloud the GTI's spotless record.  Is the GTI setting you up or are the Shivans spreading their evil rage?;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/website/str/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=140.0;

[multimod]
primarylist = fsport-mediavps_2014;
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps_2014;

3.7.4 lists the mod only once in the log. 3.7.5 lists it twice even when it should run only mediaVP 2014.

Using wxlauncher-0.12.0-rc.2
Are you sure about that? The behavior you're describing really sounds like you're running wxLauncher 0.10.1.

Yes. Reinstalled just to be sure.

What's in your %APPDATA%\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\ folder?

fs2_open.ini in "HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen"
cmdline_fso.cfg in "HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data"
empty players folder in "HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data"

When I launch 3.7.4 the command line parameters are saved to file in "D:\GOG Games\Freespace 2\data\cmdline_fso.cfg".
When I launch 3.7.5 the parameters are saved to file in "\AppData\Roaming\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data\cmdline_fso.cfg"
But the 3.7.5 still use settings that were saved in "D:\GOG Games\Freespace 2\data\cmdline_fso.cfg".

Do you have the portable settings mode enabled in the launcher? If yes, disable that and try again.

Portable on or off doesn't change anything.
