WinMerge for Update 3: Config File reconfiguration
-
Just a little tip:
When updating to U3 the instructions say “Do NOT backup your old file, reconfigure with the new file instead!”
I would recommend TO BACKUP your old file (rename it to Falcon BMS.cfg.bak or whatever) and use WinMerge to easily reconfigure the new file:
WinMerge is Freeware (and a must have for modding imo…)
You may open the new config file on the “left” side and your backup-file on the “right” side.
WinMerge will highlight differences between the two files in yellow so you can easily see what has changed.
Now you only have to change the values in the new file (left hand side) according to the values in the old (backup-)file (right hand side).
Save the left-hand file and you are done!
WinMerge is also great for comparing other files like .key and .ini files etc.
