Project Settings
All global settings for the BlazerTech Character Management System are managed through the Project Settings window.
Located under Edit > Project Settings > BlazerTech > Character Management System.
Saving Settings
Configure when Character Groups are automatically saved to disk.
Auto Save Triggers
A multi-select dropdown defining the events that trigger automatic saves.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Game Exit | Saves all character groups when the application quits. |
| Character Creator Save | Saves all character groups whenever a character is saved from the Character Creation Menu. |
| Scene Change | Saves all character groups when the active scene changes. |
Save Format
Select the format used when Character Groups are saved to disk.
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| JSON (Default) | Human-readable format (.json). Easy to open and manually edit. |
| Binary | Compact binary format (.bin). Almost impossible to read or modify manually. |
Note
Binary saves are more secure against tampering, while JSON saves are ideal during development and debugging.
Active Character Types
The Active Character Types list contains all Character Type assets that are enabled and ready to be used at runtime.
When a new Character Type is created, the user is prompted to add it to the Active Character Types list before proceeding.
Important
If a Character Type asset is not contained inside this list it will NOT be functional.
