To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Full Screen Help

Just need a bit of help... I am running the alpha 26 release on a Mac Book Pro. I was adjusting my settings so that the game runs in full screen and when I restarted the game it fails to open. I therefore cannot get back into the game to adjust the settings back to the windowed option. Is there a way to edit the config file without entering the game, and where is this located?

Thanks

Eoin

Yes. The file location varies a bit depending on your OS. I do Windows, so on my machine it's in Users/<username>/My Documents/Pioneer/config.ini. Near the bottom of the file is StartFullscreen = 1. Change that to 0.

Oh it does just not where you might expect.

Two places in the code suggest possible locations to go hunting for it but not having a Mac I can't help you much more, you could PM Philbywhizz

#ifdef __APPLE__
path += "Library/Application Support/Pioneer";
#else
path += ".pioneer";
#endif


// On OSX, the data directory is located in the resources folder of the application
// bundle (Contents/Resources). Rather than using cwd (which is the cwd of the app.bundle
// folder)
// - This is XCode/App Bundle specific


#ifdef __APPLE__

path += "Library/Application Support/Pioneer";

#else

path += ".pioneer";

#endif

// bundle (Contents/Resources). Rather than using cwd (which is the cwd of the app.bundle

flufflyfreak is correct. The config.ini file (as well as the other 'user' files) are located in

~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer

You may have to hold down the 'option' key in finder to get to the ~/Library folder as Apple had decided to hide this from you for some silly reason (since Lion 10.7+)

Hello everyone, first post!

Just thought Id chime in as Ive been having the same issues. Hunting around my library folder, I cant find a Pioneer folder in Library > Application Support. Now Im stuck in a loop on OSX, I delete Pioneer from applications folder, reinstall the game and it still attempts to open in fullscreen only to crash.

Im running 10.8 so maybe the Pioneer library folder is hidden? Or the config file is saved elsewhere? I even tried using the "open package contents" command on the Pioneer icon in my applications folder and still no sign of a config file. So not having much luck so far!

Well, I don't really know what I'm talking about on this subject, but I Googled 'mac finder show hidden files' and got these links. I hope it's useful.
