Manually Updating Settings - PTMagicians/PTMagic GitHub Wiki

Emergency Changes

If it's an emergency and you need to quickly change a setting for Profit Trailer while PT Magic is running, you can make the change via Profit Trailer's web-interface (either via the gui, or the advanced mode which allows for editing of the files themselves.) However, the change will be over-written the next time PTMagic finishes it's raid.

This can actually be a convenient way to make a temporary change, that will only last until the next PTMagic raid. However if you time it wrong, your change may be overwritten only a few seconds after you save it. Keep an eye on the PTMagic process window and you will know when to make the change.

Permanent Changes

If you want to make a permanent change, then the easiest thing to do is to update the settings found in the _presets folder in the PTMagic directory. However, the change won't take effect until it is sent to Profit Trailer on the next raid.

If you need to make an emergency change to your settings that you also wish to be permanent, then you will want to first make the change directly through the Profit Trailer web-interface, and then to the settings file in the _presets folder.
