How so?

And besides, you edit the py file (in case of __init__ files, they are usually empty files).

The always on way

This way is modifying a stock file. So I suggest you backup the file if you don't want this way later on.

The file I suggest you edit is BC Root\scripts\Tactical\__init__.pyc
So rename the extension of that file to whatever you want to, as long as it isn't py or pyc (I suggest org, or bak).

Create a file called __init__.py and place it in BC Root\scripts\Tactical\ and put the following in it:
Code:
import App
App.UtopiaApp_GetApp().SetTestMenuState(2)

Or download the one I prepared earlier from here and put it in the above location (you can chose to put it somewhere else if you like, but at your own risk!).


Downloaded prepared one. it didnt work.

Done. still nothing. Just a black screen with a pain-in-the-rear golden curser with nothing to click on

In case of a forum it usually means "Attach the file on your next post."


Oh, and it already was in the folder.

Anyway, this should do it.
