Save nick and settings

[CharlyMurphie]

I downloaded and installed AC on my cuz's comp so we could play over the holidays. We adjusted all his settings and created his nick ,but every time he quits the program he loses his settings and nick and has to do it over every time he opens it again. I have no prob on my comp and never have, it was always saved. (vista on both) Any suggestions

Make sure that where the settings are saved has enough permissions to write to them.

the game is being closed via the quit menu ingame, not the cmd window right?

Ask someone who uses windows :D

Put all the commands in your autoexec.

Wolf: not a solution
Usually, there'll be a "home folder" in My Documents. If it isn't there, create it and edit assaultcube.bat accordingly. You want to add

[SELECT ALL] Code:

--home="C:\Users\yourusernamehereplz\Documents\AssaultCube_etc..."

change it to whatever you have setup.
For example, my assaultcube.bat is

[SELECT ALL] Code:

bin_win32\ac_client.exe --init -T --home="C:\Users\Gibsthick\Documents\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4" -w1280-h1024 -a4 -v0 --mod=mods\extrafonts %1 %2 %3 %4 %5"

Alternatively, you can forgo the home folder and just fix the read/write permissions for the assaultcube installation folder. Check C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files if you don't have a 64bit operating system, then read http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/25...ows-vista/
