Settings Files

Most of Magic's settings are stored as xml data in the folder "Buzz/Gear/Generators/IX Magic".

Factory settings

"IX Magic Settings.xml" contains the original default settings and should not be modified. Whenever a new version of Magic is installed, this file should be overwritten.

User settings

"IX Magic User Settings.xml" contains your customised preferences. Generally you shouldn't need to edit this file manually as most settings are stored automatically. The only time you may need to edit is if you wish to alter the peer parameter remapping rules.

User settings aways override any data loaded from the factory settings file. To restore the original default values for a section, simply delete that section from the user settings file and it will be replaced with the same section from the factory settings.

Changes are written to the user settings file when the Buzz song is closed. That sucks a bit, I should change it.
