PR v0.8 changing vBF2 settings..?

Post by Grasli »

Hey. After 0.8 I have noticed something weird.
When going to play vBF2 (vanilla), some settings has been changed because of PR. For example the crosshair color is set to 50,50,50 (quite black), which is almost invisible. And the option "Auto reload" is unchecked.

PR shouldnt change vBF2 settings, right? Is this a bug?

The new PR menus removed some vanilla features from their menu, thusly affecting vanilla options in the same profile. They were removed to add realism, people had auto-reload and transparent maps before. Now, that's not possible.

So it might be good to have a separate profile just for PR, and one for vanilla so all settings are kept in-tact when playing the respective game.

Lol, i probably would never have noticed that, since my crosshair in vanilla is near-invisible anyway (and its just there at all because of the PR HAT, and in 0.6 shotgun, 0.6 and 0.7 Grenadier, before playing PR i always had it turned off)^^

Well, I can live with that without a problem^^

Well its not that easy if you play both PR and vBF2 (like I do). But the problem is now solved - I made a new account with the same name + _PR ;) That way I can also have different graphics settings etc too..

vBF2 name = Grasli
PR name = Grasli_PR

Heh.. See you on the battlefield soldier! ;)

but is that the right way that a mod is changing so many thing's in game.
I will play with one account and not with 2 or 3 or .....
I hope that will be fix.

Yeah, it's the way it's done, so yes, it will affect other mods/vbf2. Can't really be done another way either. As suggested, you could use a different profile, but really, we all know PR is the only mod worth playing :-P /jokes. Or, I suppose you could get used to the grey/no auto-reload type stuff we put in if you won't want to use other profiles, etc.
