INI File Change Settings

[Dorabella]

This has been happening for a while now, and it's annoying. Some INI files automatically change the settings. It had already happened even when he had activated the gamepad, while it was disabled

 

What could be the possible causes? 

 

If this is not a Skyrim issue, please move the thread to the appropriate section.

Deactivate, while it was active

Looking at the souce code, the default value for that is true (1), and the only place it is set to false (0) is in Minimap::Hide(). Hide() is called from Controls.cpp which handles keypresses. My conclusion thus is that if the minimap was hidden when you quit the game, it will be hidden when you start the game again. bShowOnGameStart records the last state of the minimap, not what you want it to default to. The ini setting name should have been bWasVisible.

 

This is easy to fix, if you can compile the code.

The problem is that it turns on/off randomly , even in an area transition 

 

I tried changing the string as you suggested   bShowOnGameStart with bWasVisible

I will update for further developments .

Thank's

bWasVisible doesn't exist. I said it should be named bWasVIsible because that is less likely to be misunderstood. bShowOnGameStart can be read in 2 different ways: either it's the default value (like you interpreted it) or it's the previous state of the map (which it is).

That's a mod bug or mod conflict. I would start by disabling other UI mods. There might be something else hiding or removing the minimap swf.

That's because like I said earlier, the default value is true (1). There's no way removing the value from the ini file fixed the issues you were having with it disappearing on its own.
