Remembering advanced game settings

; Game Options 1:nil 2:No Barbarians 3: Raging Barbarians 4: Always War 5: Always Peace 6=1 city challenge 7:nil 8:new random seed 9:nil 10:complete kills 11:no ruins 12:rand personalities 13:allow policy saving 14:allow promotion savings 15:enable turn timer 16:Quick Combat

GameOptions = 0100000100001101

Sorry it's a little sloppy but basically open your config.ini file and go to GameOptions section.
To turn on no barbarians, make the second slot a 1 to turn it off, make it a 0. Since mine doesn't remember any of my advanced settings I had to resort to this. I posted how to remember map size, civ, etc somewhere else in this forum.

cool... i went in and hacked the xml and added enabled by default = true to the options i want. this seems a lot easier.

THANKYOU for this ! this just gave me back 30 minutes of my life each time I try and generate a map for the HOF competitions.

Now to find your post on map settings......

I wonder if you combined the posts if the Admins would sticky this ?

Can you tell what XML you modified? Where do these informations appear? Makes it a lot easier for others to come and check it immediately and not search for themselves...

But yeah, this would need "stickying".

It's not an XML, it's config.ini in your Saved Games/Civ... directory. The other post regarding remembering civs and stuff is http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=397791

Somone needs to write a little web page script that uses a similar looking screen to the option screen that automatically generates the required string based on the checkbox options so we can all copypasta it into our .ini files.

I wasn't talking about that. I quoted vexing's post.

I modified the config.ini and still didn't get any results.

Does this work in the Mac version?

assets\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo\CIV5GameOptions.xml

find the option you want there, and add a
<default>true</default>

or false.
for example my no goody hut preference ends up like this:

        <Row>
            <Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_GOODY_HUTS</Type>
            <Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_GOODY_HUTS</Description>
            <Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_GOODY_HUTS_HELP</Help>
            <default>true</default>
        </Row>

Same here, edit xml works perfect but no options was selected after modified config.ini

HOF rules disallowed changing Assets (XML, Lua Scripts, etc.). How can I get this to work by edit config.ini instead of xml.

This is very useful for rolling OCC maps, thanks

Is it possible to save AI settings (advanced setting)?
