• Usage:

Set Config Base Directory

Warning

This feature is only available in APP mode.

Purpose and Functionality

• Extended Profile Management:
  • Allows users to create multiple configuration bases.
  • Each base directory can maintain its own set of profiles.
  • Effectively removes the 8-slot limitation of HKR.
• Configuration Handling:
  • Create a new folder to serve as the configuration base.
  • When selecting and applying a new base directory, Clicker copies and reloads current configuration there.
  • If selecting an existing conf base, maintains those settings.

Directory Structure

The Config Base directory must maintain the following structure:

Config Base/
      └── conf/
          ├── conf.ini        # Main configuration file
          ├── kmpconf.ini     # Key mapping configuration
          ├── profiles.ini    # Profile settings
          └── scripts/         # User script directory

Default Config Base Directory

• Default Location:

  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Clicker3D

• Controls:
  • default button: Sets the config base directory to its default location.
  • select button: Opens a folder selection dialog to choose a new config base.
  • apply button: Sets selected path as active config base.

Key Concepts

	Config Base Directory	conf Folder
Definition	Parent directory that contains the conf folder	Subdirectory containing all configuration files
Naming	Can use any meaningful name	Must be exactly named conf
Purpose	Organizes different configuration sets	Stores actual configuration data
Google Drive	Not shared	Target folder for sharing
Location	Can be anywhere on system	Must be inside Config Base
Flexibility	Multiple bases can exist	Fixed structure required

Relationship with Google Drive Synchronization

Attempting to change Config Base Directory while synchronized will be disabled. This restriction prevents configuration conflicts between synchronized devices.

• To change Config Base Directory:
  1. First, disable Google Drive synchronization (see UnSync Process)
  2. Only then will Config Base Directory settings become available
  3. After changing Config Base Directory, you can re-enable Google Drive synchronization if needed

Sync Conf Through Google Drive

Share configurations across multiple devices through Google Drive. For detailed instructions on setting up and managing Google Drive synchronization, please refer to the Google Drive Synchronization Guide. This feature allows you to maintain consistent configurations across different computers by leveraging Google Drive's cloud storage capabilities.
