Add Support For Per-Profile Config Options

GameWyrm opened this issue · 1 comments

If the user is not playing via the Xbox Store version of Outer Wilds, allow the user to use mod config options that apply either only to their profile or to every profile that uses Global settings.

At the top of a mod’s config settings, there will be a checkbox added by OWML that says “Use Global Settings,” with the tooltip “Use and edit the Global Settings, which will affect all other profiles that use the Global Settings. Turning this off will make your settings apply only to the active profile.”

Use Global Settings will be on by default, and make the configs act as they do now, applying the settings to every profile that has the Use Global Settings option on. Turning it off will allow the user to set their own custom settings, specific to their needs, without affecting other profiles.

Due to the lack of profiles on the Xbox version, the Xbox version will always use the Global settings and the checkbox to turn it off will not appear.

Implementing a per-profile config will require a new config file format, which I will detail in a separate issue.
