Forgot about the controler config in the game so i guess 4 is moot then.
on a small not about that, i had tried to edit the controls in game and save them but it didn't work for me, i had to edit them in game, close the game, save them, then they saved correctly. saving while the game was still running didn't save the changes (which makes sense, just every post i've seen just said change it in game and save it in 7h2).
I guess i lost the ability to edit posts.
You shouldn't have to do that. The game saves your inputs after you leave the in-game menu. If that's still up, your settings haven't yet been saved. But, I recommend doing it the way yourare with just setting them then leaving the game. The tabbing out thing I've never done and don't think it as necessary unless your game is screwing up your controls on close for some reason.
1. 7h isn't designed to resume partial files. This is expected behavior. I'll be adding direct download links on the web site for people that want to download via their browser or a download manager. For now, only pause/resume is supported while in the same 7h session. This could be added in the future.
2. Should only affect the download item when selected so not too big of a deal. Themes would need changed and I don't really want to do that, but I have an idea for possible other solution. You can still see progress from the "fill in" and of course time remaining.
3/4. 7h isn't a control mapper. These are just presets made for you for convenience. Go into the game's menu to see what buttons are being applied. Steam and its launcher and settings do not apply here as these are not used by 7h in any way and are not supported in any way. 7h uses the 98 version of the game. There's a lot of information out there already about how to get 3rd party mapping tools working, including page 6 of this thread.
5. Can happen after a download fails or a mod fails to install, the file was in use, etc. 7h only attempts to delete those files once on failures but doesn't purge the folder, that's on purpose.
