[SOLVED] Updating

How do i upte my game but still keep my data like my settings

Settings are not stored in your Xonotic/ directory as they live in different places (eg. .xonotic/ on Linux). Therefore if you do an update you should not lose settings. Are you using the autoupdater or downloading the whole game again?

For updating, you can use the script contained in your Xonotic folder under misc/tools/rsync-updater. There should be an update script for every operating system Xonotic runs on. If you're running 0.6 and want to update to 0.7, use the "update-to-release" script, if you want to get the latest bleeding edge nightly build, then use the "update-to-autobuild" script. Note that the nightly builds may be not as stable as the official release, though I had only one or two freezes/startup failures so far if I recall correctly.

The settings and other user data are being stored in a separate folder, depending on your operating system this can be ".xonotic" in your home directory (linux), something like "My Games/Xonotic" (Windows, I'm not sure about that one though), or "Library/Application Support/Xonotic" in your home directory (MacOS).

Even if you would completely delete your game, or have like both a git build for developing shit, and a normal build for playing, your settings wouldn't be lost. They are all saved in (on Windows) C:/users/<yourname>/savedgames/xonotic/.
