To use you have to look for a file called 'pirate_local.ini' in the PotBS directory on your hard drive. I suggest you rename it to 'pirate_local.old' so that you can always return to your old settings.

You can copy and paste the code directly into a new text file and save it as 'pirate_local.ini' or you can only copy the parts that you are interested in and paste them into your .ini file.

You cannot change the ini.file, only the local_ini! Simply copy/paste this into your local_ini, that's it. If Averell really has changed the settings for a better zoom, it should work with your game, too.

I find it curious that you have the old select option for avcom as an option on there for tabbing to targets. Have you tried your .ini file on the expansion? It'd be interesting to see that with auto-face...

As a side, I really should sit down one day and make a full list of all the things you can actually adjust in the game with the pirates_local.ini file

I'll look into it this week. There's a number of GM specific things on mine, so I don't feel happy with just sharing it as I'd have to spend a while removing bits

No I have not tried it with the expansion, but the old select option is very helpful.
We just had a PB where we had downed all the opponents bar one in the fort and most people thought the last player had jumped out.
By tabbing I was able to select the character even though it was almost 100 yards away.

Have edited my original post with installation instructions.
