Advanced Configuration Options

LifeTO comes with a set of custom configuration options that aren't available in the original game. Currently, you can change the FPS limit, disable the Mind's Eye shadow overlay, and make the game save the last password.password, swap the Fn and number row keys of the Quick Slot window, and have drill results logged in chat. In general, the new settings program (Setup.exe) can automatically generate this file for you, so you don't need to manually do these steps. This guide is still updated for advanced users, however.

Advanced Users

The configuration file is described in the TOML file format. In layman's terms, it is a text file with a special structure that contains the settings for the game's advanced options.

By default, LifeTO does not ship with a configuration file. You must create one yourself using Notepad or any other text editor with the filename lifeto.toml. The file should be in the same folder as Splash.exe and Trickster.bin.

The default configuration is as follows:

[graphics]
fps_limit = 60

[qol_fixes]
disable_shadow_overlaysave_last_password = false
save_last_passwordquick_slot_fn_swap = false
drill_result_in_chat = false
