Useful settings in ConstructionSet.ini

The Construction Set's configuration file can be found in "C:\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion" here are some useful settings that might ease up your work:

bAllowUnsafeSave=1

When this is set, you can save your plugin without having to "close all open Dialog Boxes." Use this with caution - since this setting allows you to save with dialogue or object windows open, it is possible for you to make changes in a window that has not been saved yet.

bAllowMultipleEditors=1

This entry allows you to open the construction-set more than once (e.g having one open for browsing trough Bethesda's stuff while working on your mod with the other) If used carefully, this can ease up modding a lot, but better load your mod only in one of the Construction Sets, to avoid confusion...

iExtendedResponseLength=355

iExtendedTopicLength=50

bAllowExtendedText=1

Setting "bAllowExtendedText=1" will allow you to override the text-length limits in the Dialogue-Window. The new limits are defined by the other two entries.

bUseMyGamesDirectory=0

Load INI-file and save error reports in the game's directory rather than "My Games" (The same applies to the game itself, want your savegames where you installed the game? set this to 0)

You must have administrative rights for this to work. Otherwise you can't write to the game directory. This feature was implemented to support limited users.

bUseVersionControl=1

This enables the menu "file/version control". Obviously this is how the folk Bethsoft merged their work on the game. Until someone find's out how this works it's not much more than a toy. To have this working you also need to create a file named "ConstructionsetNetwork.ini" which can be empty and set the entry "SNetwork Path=" to any network folder on your system (e.g. C:\).
