Pass through DOSBox config params #11

Closed BreadYogurt closed 5 years ago

BreadYogurt commented 5 years ago

I want to use my own render settings for all games but I don't see a way to do that aside from editing each game's config manually.

You mean settings, that usually go into [render] section in dosbox conf file?

You can place them in file steam_dos_<appid>_<id>.conf, which is being created on start in game's installation dir. Except sometimes it might be hard to find, because some games use working directories deeper into installation dir.

Do you think it would be worthwhile to have some of these options (e.g. scaler) in steam-dos.conf?

Perhaps I should make it a bit clearer in README file… or add empty section in that file…

BTW, I am reworking how this file is generated - when version 0.3.1 will be released, user settings will be overwritten (once, I have no other choice to make fullscreen work properly). You can test it (and enjoy fullscreen working with multi-screen setups) on branch next. I plan to release 0.3.1 later this week.

Yeah, it would be good to have some options in steam-dos.conf so that I don't have to insert them into every game's individual config file.

OK, just released version 0.3.1 - it defaults to scaler normal3x for all games (which can be changed by user in settings file) and imports render.aspect from publishers' conf files to [render] section of game-specific conf file.

@BreadYogurt do you think this is enough, or are you missing some options?

I am closing this issue for now, as there's no clear issue to be fixed here any more. Feel free to reopen.
