Guide: Changing Dominions 3 defaults

[Gandalf Parker]

HOW TO

For a Windows XP user just right-click your Dom3 icon that you usually use.

You might want to select Copy. Then go someplace else on the desktop, right-click, and do Paste.

The right-click the icon you want to change. Select Properties. Under the General tab you can rename it if you want. And under the Shortcut tab you can add the switches you want. The "target" line might look like "C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" with the quotes and all. Add the switches you want OUTSIDE the quotes. So it becomes something like
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -w -a -c -d --rename

Someone want to give an example for Vista? for Mac?

Thanks! I like the settings for defaulting HoF and renaming for example. Nice!

I'm using Vista 64 and it works the same as in XP.

Oh good, this fixes the problem of going from fullscreen to windowed for me by never going to fullscreen in the first place. Thanks.
