W.I.P. App for quick access to CSP extension ini files.

[William Riker]

Hi, a few days ago i made a tool for quick access to Custom Shaders Patch extension ini files for live editing. I managed to code something that fills some of my expectations at least, so i wanted to share the code in case anyone else wants to take it and make something better out of it. .

Here's what it does:
Firstly, the app recognizes if there's *.ini files in existence both in loaded folders (extension/config/cars/loaded and extension/config/tracks/loaded) and particular car and track folders (content/cars/'car name'/extension and content/tracks/'track name'/extension). There's 4 buttons that open these 4 files in notepad in the case the files actually exist. In the case of loaded folder, when the *.ini file does not exist, the button creates a new blank file and immediately after it allows to open it. For some reason, i could not set this same action for the particular folder buttons, so they just open the file in case it exists and don't do anything in case it doesn't.

My initial plan was to make it possible in some way to open and edit the text of these *.ini files in the app itself, but i guess my limited programming skills made it impossible to find a way. At least i am content with the possibility of opening these files in notepad with one click from within the game.

Here's the code, cheers!

Oh by "edit" you just mean have a button for the configs? Well i put that in sol weather app, on the "old" (sol<2.1) weather plan selector you have buttons for the configs, for track and car:
(Edit: afair it searches 8 places for configs)

With hotkeys enabled you also can set a shortcut for that planner window too:

 

[William Riker]

Oh, i'm using the last version of Sol so i guess that's why i didn't found that window. What i wanted initially was some kind of ingame text editor so one could write inside the text file live without having to open other programs like notepad or similar text editors. Having found no way to do this with the basic python tools in AC documentation, it was enough for me having some buttons to quickly open these files in notepad with just one click.

oh btw, that app i mentioned with the buttons is still included in latest sol, that plan window is still there, like above, without weather-stuff...

 

[William Riker]

This is what i get in Sol Plan Selector, i'm not sure how to access the window you mention..

 

[fughettaboutit]

oh this button

and this enabled:

 

[William Riker]

Now i see that, thanks!
