Configuration

How do I use the configuration file?

UnitedCallouts is using a configuration file, like most other mods, in order to load custom settings for the user.
You can enable or disable callouts if you do not want certain callouts in the game.

If you want to disable a setting, set the parameter to "false". Set it to "true" if you want to have it enabled in game.
You may want to disable any callouts that you do not want to have in game or which causes trouble in game due to a bug within this version.

Note

The configuration file is getting loaded automatically after UnitedCallouts has been loaded in game by LSPDFR.

This is how the latest configuration file looks like:

The configuration file is split into 3 parts: Callouts, Settings and Keys.
With every new update to UnitedCallouts, the configuration file can be changed or can contain new additions.

For more information about the various changeable parameters, please scroll down for a table.

[Settings]

// Activate this option to have AI units responding to certain callouts with the Player. This option is set to "true" by default.

[Keys]

// You can change all the keys used in this plugin to your liking, so there are no conflicts with other mods.
// Here is a list of valid keys you can use: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.keys(v=vs.110).aspx

// With pressing this key, while you are in a callout, you can force the callout to end. Keep in mind, this only works for callouts which are part of this plugin.
