Config JSON resets each launch

[Ryn-Fox]

Each time I launch my headless with the mod, the rml_config/HeadlessTweaks.json resets to the following: { "version": "1.0.0", "values": { "_configSaved": true } }

Any idea what's going on?

Are you perhaps editing the config file manually while the headless is running?

[Ryn-Fox]

To be absolutely sure, I've shutdown the headless, deleted the json, started the headless, and shut it down again without touching the file. Upon testing a few times, I see that it generates a full template on the first launch, but upon shutting down it wipes it to what's in the first post here.

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply, I thought I had done so already

• Is this still a problem?
• Was there anything in the logs?

I am now able to replicate this behavior consistently, I wonder why I wasn't able to before

I've found the problem, ResoniteModLoader saves all configs without defaults on shutdown, I'm fairly certain this did not behave like this when I first wrote HeadlessTweaks in Neos

ShutdownHook SaveInternal

I am able to fix this on my end in 2 different ways

• Remove _configSaved and have it always save with defaults on launch

  • If the config isn't touched before the headless shuts down then it will keep the defaults
  • However once any config value is changed it will wipe the defaults from the file on shutdown again

• Turn off autosaving and instead manually save with defaults anytime a config value is changed

  • I don't think any config option would be changing enough for that to be an issue but it still feels a little dirty

One more solution is to create an issue on the ResoniteModLoader github requesting for a way to mark a config to auto save with defaults, which I might do later
