And I'm the one with Japanese blood here.
Half, though, so the only damn way you'd notice is if you saw me.

So hwo does that work living in atleast one of these countries. Don't you either live in a country or not? I can understand living in exaclty two or 3... you could move back and forth for some work related reason. But atleat?

Well back to the vidmaster topic. I didn't entirely understand the idea before. Now I get it and your definitions are quite good.

I said 'at least' because I feel at home in both. A sluggish attempt at comedy, I am just not too god at it.

I know this topic is a little old, but I had to post mine here. This was on insane, and I found it oddly easy.

It isn't, THAT hard, although having debug mode on like you do could make it much easier if you so choose.

How does one go about turning insne mode on?

Post by **Eric** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:26 pm

when you create your user you can decide. I think, but am not sure, that you can also change this through the config file. There is a line which says:

Difficulty(0,1,2) higher=harder:
X

Where X is the difficulty level, 2 is insane. It is possible that this requires being in debug mode, like most changes to the config file do.

Just passing by again:
I'm sure insane difficulty level doesn't need debug mode, and yes, I'm pretty sure it can be changed when you create your user... mainly becuase I got asked in the game and it isn't in the options menu

You misinterpreted what I said, or was confusing, one of the two.

After some quick research I will ammend my post to make it more clear, and more accurate.

When you create a new user you can decide the difficulty level for that user. I am not sure what the

data/config.txt wrote:Difficulty(0,1,2) higher=harder
X

does, but I am 99% sure it doesnt change the difficulty level like you want. I conducted an experiment where I changed that number from 2 to 0 and started challenge level one, it was not in easy mode (aka I had no map and the bunnies were as hard as insane mode bunnies). It makes quite a bit of sense that you cant change the config entry since it is possible to create multiple users with different difficulty levels, but the config file controls all the users.

You appear to have changed your post after I made my post, and it seems that I may have not understood your post

Post by **Eric** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 3:02 am

I actually didn't change anything, as you can see by the fact that it doesnt say "Last edited by ...edited X time in total" I just reposted with more information.

The reason I had debug mode on was because I had been making a map, (Which can be seen at the forums) and in case I felt like doing something. I also need to start up classic to change debug, which takes a while. It's fun to have it on, even if you don't use it.

Post by **Eric** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:14 am

Wait I'm confused. Why do you "need to start up classic to change debug"? I don't play Lugaru on a Mac anymore, but I used to and I was definetly able to change it without using classic. You just need to make sure you open the file with a program which can presereve the formatting; Word would do the job. Your other alternative is to create two config files, and swap them out; store one somewhere else when you don't want to use it.

Even TextEdit works. Open and press shift-cmd-t, make the changes, save, and swap with the old one. You only need to do the swapping first time.
Next time it can save directly like any rtf.
