How to recall custom game string - PC

[illinus]

I've started up a new custom run (loper with some tweaks). Have some questions I'd like to post about rate of rifle spawn and hammer spawn (fully looted CH, DP, ML, FM, Ravine; have FIVE rifles, almost 50 rounds, and NO hammer) but I'd like to include the custom string as reference. Where can I pull that from?

When you first create the game, should be an option to get it there.

@hozz1235 Right, but no way to retrieve it once the game is underway?

[hozz1235]

Not that I'm aware of.

I believe that your previous custom game setup will still be there the next time you create a custom game, allowing you to pull the code then.

@WadeThanks, I'll check that out. I did get a PM from another user with a suggestion which ought to work. Also, hello from a fellow Wade.

Install UMod and use the Custom command

@Fuarian Thanks, could you post a link to this?

Hinterland doesn't like us talking about mods here.  Try a google search.

Last time I posted a link I got banned. Just search UMod TLD.

They just won't allow any link posting. Learned that the hard way.

Got it, thanks guys.

You can still get it without installing a mod.  Simply load the custom game that you want to know the code for, then exit to the main menu.  If you then start a new custom game it will show the default custom settings of the last custom game you played.  Simply get the code based on those settings from the lower part of the screen.  No need to install a mod.

Unless, of course, you've made several different ones to experiment with, and suddenly want the code for one of the earlier ones.. without using the mod, you've no chance of that.

Adding it to the basic gamesave information would be an extremely easy fix of course.. but I'm sure Hinterland are far too busy slaying the huge crop of new bugs in the current version to bother with stuff that's merely useful.

Welcome back @JAFO!

Unless you died in one of those games you can still retrieve it without a mod.  It works just fine with as many saves as you want.  If you don't know which game is which, then its your own fault for not naming them, but you could always load them in one by one until you find the one you are looking for.  By default the last loaded custom game settings will show up in the custom settings.

Thanks! I learned something I didn't know..
