Binds gone when I quit

[Jay91]

I usually play freeroam servers so I make binds for getting the weapons of my choice. I bind 1 key for 15 weapon commands which give me weapons when I press it. However all the binds go away when I quit and only 2 of them will be there and I have to make the binds all over again. Is there any way to prevent the binds from going away?

It's weird, should remain there. Can you try binding everything being not connected to a server (just start MTA) using F8,

using the correct format (example: 'bind 3 wp M4' and multiple weapons on '3': wp [weapon]

and then after binding type 'saveconfig' in F8 also, quit MTA and restart it.

Does this also happen to your MTA settings? (like sometimes settings didnt get changed) then it could be a write limitation to the config file (MTA>coreconfig.xml) or have permission issues on your MTA install location, for example just run MTA from Programfiles

Thanks will try it

Saveconfig did not work can you tell me how to change the limitation in the config file

Then i'd think of permission issues on the folder you got MTA installed.

Do the following:

Uninstall MTA

Remove the Program Files folder (MTA San Andreas 1.3)

- Re-download MTA 1.3.5 (do not use an old installer of 1.3.5: Normal download was updated with File permission check/fixes)

Now re-install, make sure to use the default location: Program Files, not directly from C:/ or disk, but just there. To avoid directory permission problems.

See if it works now, if not then check if other changes to the config (settings) always gets ignored/lost on chance or only your binds, and if you can't find the source, try this in addition to above steps:

- Run a registry cleaner like CCleaner between step 2 (remove 1.3.5 install folder after uninstalling) and 3 (step: redownload/reinstalling) to make sure all 'compatibility' entries for MTA directory are cleaned so the installer will take its own. Means that even after deleting the MTA folder, folderspecific File permissions can remain for when it recreates, so just do that last one to ensure it wont

And then if above, install just after

I made the binds then I quit and go to a file named coreconfig.xml and when I look at the binds list the binds are there but when I open MTA all the binds I made are cleared from the coreconfig.xml file.
