Hidden configurations

Postby Zeriab » Sun May 02, 2010 10:06 am

There certain 'hidden' options which you can enable by editing the Ellashope.ini.
Note: Be sure to take a backup before trying to edit Ellashope.ini

  • mouse - 0 for disabling mouse. (Dunno why you would want this, but it's here if anyway)
  • fullscreen - 0 for disabling automatic fullscreen. (You can use alt+enter at any time to enter/exit fullscreen mode)
  • local_saves - 1 for using the program folder for saves. (Note saves may not work on Vista or Windows 7, details below)
  • shadow_transparancy - 0-255 where 0 is completely transparent and 255 completely opague. (For the shadow only)
  • text_shadow - 1 for drawing a shadow for the text
  • text_outline - 1 for drawing an outline of the text

Except for shadow_transparancy you can either set them to 0 or to 1. For local_saves that would give the following two possibilities:
Code: Select all
local_saves=1

Code: Select all
local_saves=0


For the lines not present at install consider them set to 0.
The local_saves uses the Saves folder in program folder of the game.
Note that if you have installed it in Program Files in Vista or Windows 7 then the game probably don't have the necessary permissions and thus prevent you from saving games.
On the other hand if you have the game on a USB Stick or something similar then you can carry your saves with you by using that option.

text_shadow and text_outline can be on at the same time. The two shadows are simply drawn on top of each other.

Here is an example where I have enabled text_shadow with default opacity:
Spoiler: show
Code: Select all
[Game]
Library=RGSS102E.dll
Scripts=Data\Scripts.rxdata
Title=Ella's Hope (Aldorlea Games)
RTP1=
RTP2=
RTP3=
Mouse=1
Text_Shadow=1


I suggest taking a backup of the .ini file if you want to play around with it. Otherwise you may in the worst case have to reinstall the game. Altering the Library, Scripts or Title may prevent the game from functioning properly, so take care.

I hope you will find it useful ^_^
I believe shadow_transparancy is 192 or 196 by default, not 0 as I wrote >_>

How neat! I'm terrible at figuring out this sort of thing on my own!
