Hi, can anyone tell me how to set no tech brokering and any other options to default?

It's not in the ini file as it used to be.

thanks,

You can set any option to default by editing .../Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Assets/XML/GameInfo/CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml (I would copy this file into a place called /XML/GameInfo/CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml in you Custom Assets folder first). All entries in this file look like:
Code:
<GameOptionInfo>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_TECH_BROKERING_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
<bVisible>1</bVisible>
</GameOptionInfo>
If you change bDefault to 1 it is on by default.

Edit: but the options are still stored in the .ini as well, just a bit further below - it looks like this:
Code:
; Game Options

GameOptions = 00001000000010000010000
I am just too lazy to figure out which 0 you would have to change to 1 ;)

But the ini file won't set the option to be a default will it? I tried and it didnt work

Is there a way I can I just get away with the ini file or do I have to do the gameinfos ??

I think the .ini file remembers your custom game settings - so if you do that in the .ini and start a custom game it should still have the options checked that are set to 1. Unfortunately the .ini is reset to the values (0 for all) defined in the .xml when you start even one Play Now game. If you want to use Play Now you need to edit the .xml
