Global Config Redirect

Share BepInEx config files across all your profiles

For feedback and issues, DM @uwufood on the GTFO Modding Discord Server

Quick Start

• Install this mod to one of your modded profiles and launch the game once.
• A profile with configs you actually want is a good choice.
• A folder will be created at %APPDATA%\GTFO.GlobalConfigRedirect\config where all your global config files will be stored.
• By default, all config files in the profile you installed this mod to will be copied to the global folder.
• You can copy over other configs you wish to be global to the global folder.
• Optionally, you can set up an editor profile to edit the global configs in your mod manager (see below).

What it does

This mod adds a preloader patcher to BepInEx that redirects plugin config files (/BepInEx/config/*.cfg) to a single global folder.

Default global config folder: %APPDATA%\GTFO.GlobalConfigRedirect\config

On first use, if a redirected file doesn't exist globally yet, it is copied from the current profile.

Profile copies are never deleted or modified.

Config

BepInEx/config/io.takina.gtfo.GlobalConfigRedirect.cfg (this stays per-profile):

| Setting | Default | |

|---|---|---|

| Enabled | true | |

| Global Folder | (empty = default) | environment variables are expanded |

| Include | ** | comma-separated globs, relative to the profile config folder (Skins.cfg, *.cfg, Hikaria/**) |

| Exclude | (empty) | wins over Include |

| Copy Existing | true | grabs missing global files from the profile |

Glob syntax (case-insensitive, \ and / both work as separators):

| Pattern | Matches |

|---|---|

| * | any characters within one file/folder name |

|? | one character within a name |

| `` | anything, across folders |

| / | zero or more folders (**/Foo.cfg matches Foo.cfg and a/b/Foo.cfg) |

Everything else is literal. [...] classes and {a,b} alternatives are not supported; list alternatives

as separate globs instead.

Editing global configs in your mod manager (optional)

Mod managers only edit the config folder of the selected profile. To edit the global configs with the

mod manager's config editor, make a dedicated "editor" or "global" profile whose BepInEx/config folder is a link to

the global folder. This profile is only for editing; you never need to launch it, and it isn't needed

for the redirect to work.

Folders can't be hard-linked. Use a junction on Windows and a symlink on Linux; both act

like a shortcut the mod manager can't tell apart from a normal folder.

• Launch the game once with this mod installed so the global folder exists and is populated.
• Create a new profile in your mod manager (e.g. Global Config). You might want to install the BepInEx pack.
• Close the mod manager.
• Open the profile folder (e.g. in Gale: File -> Open Profile Folder) and delete the BepInEx/config

folder.

• Create the link as below, then reopen the mod manager.

Placeholders: ` is the editor profile's folder, ` is the global folder.

Windows

Default ` is %APPDATA%\GTFO.GlobalConfigRedirect\config`. In a Command Prompt (no admin

needed; replace `` with the editor profile's path):

mklink /J "\BepInEx\config" "%APPDATA%\GTFO.GlobalConfigRedirect\config"

To remove the link later (removes only the link, not the global files):

rmdir "\BepInEx\config"

Linux (Proton)

The game runs in Proton, so ` is the AppData/Roaming/GTFO.GlobalConfigRedirect/config`

folder inside GTFO's Proton prefix, not in your Linux home. Find it once, then:

ln -s "" "/BepInEx/config"

To remove the link later (no trailing slash, or rm targets the folder contents):

rm "/BepInEx/config"

Notes

• Remove the link before deleting the editor profile. Deleting a profile through some tools can

follow the link and delete the global configs too.

• BepInEx.cfg and this mod's own config are never redirected, so editing them in the editor

profile does nothing for your other profiles. Edit those per profile.

• Changes made in the editor profile apply to eve
