Problem - Question about KA Updates and .ini files

[Kokopelli2014]

As I'm still learning and going through the FAQs, it came to mind, does the version of Kissassist have to match the version of the INI I copy from the INI Section to run class specific code? If it does have to match, do I simply change the one in the ini I copied to match the current Kissassist version or does that even matter for proper functioning? Sorry if I'm using the wrong venue to pose the question.

Doesn't matter even with updates to KA the ini's posted in the complied section will work . but im not realy sure what your question is hehe

I'm fairly certain that it doesn't need to match. I believe that the version will "change" as soon as you run it with your version of KA.

I like to think of the .ini's as simple instruction sheets for the code / macro

Thank you very much for replies....as for my question..It should have been down the lines...If the version numbers of Kissassist and the ini I downloaded aren't the same, will it cause trouble in the execution of the ini within Kiss? (for Underdog)

it wont "cause problems" but I wouldn't call it seamless either.

for best results:

1) copy the pieces of the .ini you want to use to word or notepad or some other tool to keep track of them.
2) start KA on the toon which will create a completely blank .ini
3) using the pieces from step 1, look up and type in the matching entry for your character into your new blank .ini

copy / paste poses risks because of things like mod rods having their names changed, KA adapting to use the highest rank of a given spell and not needing the rank specifically called out, various AA that have had their names changed or etc.

We have tried to make kiss as backwards compatible as possible. We never yank out major ini parts. If something in the ini doesn't match a version of Kiss it will ignore it. If its a newer version and the ini file is missing something it will write it in.

Considering this problem resolved and closing.

BTW, simple questions can be asked in the parent forum KissAssist rather than opening a ticket in KissAssist Support.
