<= [[cw4:4rpl_console|The 4RPL Console]] ====== Creating a file association for .4rpl files ====== .4rpl files are simply normal text files with a different extension, they can be opened with any generic text editor. The community frequently uses Notepad++, but the default Notepad program will also work.Make sure you download only from the official Notepad++ website to avoid malware. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ ===== Windows 10 ===== Pressing the {{cw4:console_edit.png?40}} button from within the game will always ask you with which program to open the file. This pop up will show up every time you try to open a 4rpl file until you have set a file association (a default program to open this file type with). This particular pop-up does not have the ability to set the file association (for whatever reason), so we'll have to manually do that by creating a .4rpl file ourselves and setting the association through that. * Make sure you have file name extensions enabled in the Explorer (( {{ :cw4:explorere_file_extensions.png?nolink }} )) * Go to your desktop * Right click and select "**New** > **Text Document**" (( {{ :cw4:new_text_doc.png?600&nolink }} )) * Give the file any name, but replace the ''.txt'' bit at the end to ''.4rpl'' (click through the warning message) * Right click the created file and select "**Open With** > **Choose another app**" (( {{ :cw4:open_with.png?600&nolink }} )) * Make sure the "**Always use this app**" checkbox at the bottom is checked and then click the program you want to use. (( {{ :cw4:file_assoc_popup.png?400&nolink }} )) * If your preferred program is not in the list click "**More apps**" to expand the list. If it is not in that list either you'll have to select "**Look for another app on this PC**" at the very bottom and directly specify the .exe of your program. * You may now delete the desktop file. Pressing the {{cw4:console_edit.png?40}} button from within the game should now open any 4rpl file in the editor specified by you. You can always repeat this process to set a different editor as the default program to open .4rpl files with.
