newbie help please
Submitted by xlander on Sunday, 4 April, 2004 - 13:57
I am trying to edit the default.ini for dues ex 2, but I can't seam to get anything but a beep when I try to edit it. I know I'm a rookie but the last time I edited something like this I was able to use notepad. Unfortunately this one will not let me change anything through notepad. So I guess what I'm looking for is basic jedit instructions to change a few values ( like 1.25 to 0.0 or .75 to 4.75). I tried reading the help file but I am not a programmer, so I don't understand half of what its telling me to do.
thanks, the newbie

Look to see if file is Read only mode

I guess the first thing you should do is to find file permissions. i.e check to see if you have write permissions. If you have set a BufferTab plugin view then you might see a lock symbol on it. if so then just edit the permissions on that file. on Unix and Linux try chmod 755 {fileName}
on Windows try right click-> properties uncheck the read-only check box.

I hope its helps.
