XML Files

[The Geek]

I have seen on the forums suggestions of editing the application xml files to achieve certain results. To warn you now, in 99%+ of cases it is not necessary to mess with these files as you can set the option in the application.

FYI, if you goof up any xml file, it will fail to load & load defaults for that file instead. It will not tell you it has done this, so edit these files at your own risk.

There are however a few things you can't modify in the application that can be done by editing the xml files.

This is usually changing the contents of "Drop Lists" within the app. As & when questions arise, I will post links to the answers here.

1. Click here to see how to change staking menu content for % of Bank.

2. Click here to see how to copy your settings to another PC.

3. Click here to see how to change the drop menu items for fill & kill, tick offset and the yet to arrive stop loss.

Make sure The Toy is closed before making such changes otherwise it will overwrite them on closing.

The xml files can be found at this location...

WIN XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AGeeksToy\AGeeksToy\Settings - Betdaq
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AGeeksToy\AGeeksToy\Settings - Betfair

Vista & WIN 7/8/10:
C:\ProgramData\AGeeksToy\AGeeksToy\Settings - Betdaq
C:\ProgramData\AGeeksToy\AGeeksToy\Settings - Betfair



These folders are hidden by default in Windows so to access them you need to paste the above link into the address bar of Windows Explorer or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

An undocumented feature of The Toy is the ability to add more timer sounds via the SoundScheme.xml file in your settings directory.

If you want to use more timer sounds than are there already, paste the below into the file 2 lines up from the bottom between </Sound> and </Sounds>

<Sound xsi:type="TimerSound">
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<SoundFile>Resources\Sounds\okayly dokily.wav</SoundFile>
<Seconds>20</Seconds>
</Sound>

You can put as many as you want in there, just make sure you paste it in the right place otherwise TT will do a factory reset on the sound file.


You can also modify the number of seconds that a sound triggers at in this file should the value you want not be in the drop down menu of the sound scheme manager.
