## alphares
alphares is a tool for Windows to save custom settings in Fortnite.

I made this tool when it was possible to customize Fortnite's resolution via a configuration file, however, Fortnite changed that sometime after the release of this project. As of late, I have noticed alphares appearing in YouTube and TikTok videos, so it might be possible to change the resolution of Fortnite again, but I am unable confirm it, as I no longer play the game. If you want to download this tool, then please do so from [here](https://github.com/braycarlson/alphares/releases/tag/1.2.1) as it is the safest option.

## Note
* You must have launched Fortnite at least once, and allowed the game to detect the best settings or saved custom settings in-game before running alphares.
* alphares can set/unset the configuration file's read-only attribute. This is to prevent Fortnite from updating the configuration file and resetting the custom resolution. As such, you will be unable to save settings in-game while it is set. You must uncheck the read-only box and press "Apply" to save changes.
* If you want to have an uncapped framerate in Fortnite, you must set the FPS field to `0` in alphares.

## To-do
* Draw an outline on the `Apply` button when focused
* Customize and change the color of the `BS_GROUPBOX` rectangle
* Redraw the radio buttons
