Custom settings patches #9596

Open Anuskuss opened 7 years ago

Anuskuss commented 7 years ago

When creating custom settings, it saves all settings for that game (so when a user changes something for all games, I wouldn't apply to the custom settings game). I would rather see something like patches, where you could change everything but when one game needs something (like control changes or a hack) it would overwrite that on top of the global settings.

Thought about this but can't figure out how to make understandable UI for it. Ideas?

Anuskuss commented 7 years ago

Here is a quick and dirty mockup of how I would do it:

Pause menu

Custom game settings (opens patch list)

Add settings (show global settings)

Patch list with changed settings

Additional notes

When patch list is opened, it will load the global settings and compare it to the game settings. If a settings was once only set for that game but is now the same as in the global settings (or if a custom setting matches the global settings) it should get deleted.
It would be nice to have an option to show the compat.ini settings for that game (hidden by a button, read-only?).
When declaring custom controlls, only show the changed buttons (e.g. mapping the face buttons to the analog stick).

This is still worth a feature request?

I have some ideas for how to improve per-game settings, but it won't look much like this. Although in a way, this does make logical sense. Yeah dunno, it can stick around as a reminder to think about it.
