Why multiple xvm.xc files? It is confusing to a non programer

[garrycjackson 0]

My initial load of XVM after with WOT 9.0 is a mixed bag of success and failure.  

 

My previous configuration was not restored so I followed the instructions on the official website and now I have a renamed @default folder (mine is garryj) and two xvm.xc files in different locations that apparently do not include the configurations, they redirect something to the customer folder I am using.   I have confirmed that one of the two xvm.xc files contains a true value to enable stats.   I saw an an answer to a question about using the xvm conifiguration tool that said to go to the custom folder and select all the .xc files under the open command.   I did that and set the configurations I wanted, but when I go to save the configurations it asks me where to put the third xvm.xc file.   Since the other files point to my custom folder = garryj, I saved the third xvm.xc file in the garryj folder.

 

Bottomline is that I am still not back to former config.   The practice of using multiple xvm.xc files is confusing and makes it very hard for laymen like me to reinstall xvm.xc after each XVM upgrade.   Does anyone have a clear, logical English text how to document on how to install and maintain the configuration?

 

Things I have:

Some stats on the load page but no %win and no battle tier

One state on the player panel

On Tab same situation as load page

 

Things I do not have:  

No service record statistics

No ping results

Each configuration file contains detailed comments inside.

 

If you have difficulty with manual configuration, you can try config editor or:

 

My previous configuration was not restored

 

Attach your old configuration, i'll try to help to to use it in new XVM.

 

No service record statistics

 

Not done yet. We should wait for newer XVM versions.

I have reinstalled WOT to get a clean environment. 

 

I have renamed rename boot config file: \res_mods\xvm\configs\xvm.xc.sample to xvm.xc

 

The contents of this xvm.xc are below:

 

/** 

* The boot configs file. To use - rename to xvm.xc.

*

* Reference format: ${"path to config file":"."}

* // - comment out the line (will not be used)

*

* ---------------------------------------------------------------

* Fichier de lancement de la configuration XVM.

* Pour l'utiliser, renommer ce fichier en 'xvm.xc'.

*

* Format à utiliser : ${"chemin vers fichier de config":"."}

* // - commente la ligne (elle ne sera pas utilisée)

*

* ---------------------------------------------------------------

* Пример загрузочного файла конфигов. Для использования переименовать в xvm.xc.

*

* Формат ссылки: ${"путь к файлу конфига":"."}

* // - закомментировать строку (использоваться не будет)

*/               

           

${"@Default/@xvm.xc":"."}

 

Where should I save the xvm.xc that the online editor creates?  What folder should it be saved to?

You can rewrite your boot file with the xvm.xc from the online editor.

 

res_mods/xvm/configs/xvm.xc

You can rewrite your boot file with the xvm.xc from the online editor.

 

res_mods/xvm/configs/xvm.xc

How do I do that?   What is the file name of the boot file you want me to rewrite?

 

Remember I am not a developer.  You need to give me specific instuctions.

@garrycjackson,

1. Open the editor.
2. Make whatever you want.
3. Click "save"
4. Save file xvm.xc in folder res_mods/xvm/configs/
5. Done.

There is already a xvm.xc file there.   It contains:

/**

*

* Reference format: ${"path to config file":"."}

* // - comment out the line (will not be used)

${"@Default/@xvm.xc":"."}

 

Do you want me to over write it?
