The Config File

PowerAim persists every setting to a JSON config file. This page documents its location and shape so you can:

• Back up your config
• Edit it manually
• Share it with other users
• Build a tool that generates configs programmatically

Location

<install dir>\bin\configs\Default.cfg              # default config (path to it stored in:)
%AppData%\AI-M\LastConfigPath.cfg                  # ASCII text — full path to the active config

The format is the standard System.Text.Json JSON representation of AppConfig. Pretty-printed, UTF-8, no BOM.

Key sub-objects

SliderSettings

Holds every numeric tuning parameter — image size, FOV size, mouse sensitivity, jitter, EMA, Y/X offsets, sticky-aim thresholds, magnifier dimensions, etc. See Settings Overview for the list.

ToggleState

Holds every boolean. Notably:

• GlobalActive — master kill switch
• AimAssist, AutoTrigger, AntiRecoil, FOV, etc.
• MappingActive — Controller Mapping master toggle
• UseControllerForAim — drive virtual right stick instead of mouse
• HideUIFromCapture — Win32 capture exclusion

BindingSettings

"BindingSettings": {
  "AimKeyBindings": [...],
  "DynamicFOVKeybind": {...},
  "MagnifierKeybind": {...},
  "MagnifierZoomInKeybind": {...},
  "MagnifierZoomOutKeybind": {...},
  "ModelSwitchKeybind": {...},
  "AntiRecoilKeybind": {...},
  "DisableAntiRecoilKeybind": {...},
  "Gun1Key": {...},
  "Gun2Key": {...}
}

Each StoredInputBinding is { "Kind": "Keyboard|Mouse|GamepadButton|GamepadSlider", "Code": <int> } where the code is the platform-specific virtual key / mouse button / gamepad button.

Triggers

An array of ActionTrigger:

{
  "Id": "abcdef123",
  "Name": "Primary Fire",
  "Enabled": true,
  "ChargeMode": false,
  "NeedsDetection": true,
  "TriggerKeys": [{ "Kind": "Mouse", "Code": 1 }],
  "TriggerKeysOperator": "Or",
  "AntiTriggerKeys": [],
  "AntiTriggerKeysOperator": "Or",
  "Actions": [{ "Kind": "Mouse", "Code": 1 }],
  "ExecutionMode": "Simultaneous",
  "Delay": 0,
  "BreakTime": 0,
  "BeginIntersectionCheck": "None",
  "BeginIntersectionArea": {...},
  "ExecutionIntersectionCheck": "HeadIntersectingCenter",
  "ExecutionIntersectionArea": {...},
  "MatchProcess": ""
}

ControllerMappingProfiles

An array of ControllerMappingProfile:

{
  "Id": "fedcba321",
  "Name": "FPS — Both",
  "Enabled": true,
  "MatchProcess": "",
  "Mappings": [
    {
      "SourceKind": "KeyboardKey",
      "SourceCode": 87,                 // Keys.W
      "TargetKind": "GamepadStickDirection",
      "TargetCode": 0,                  // LeftStickUp
      "Enabled": true,
      "Activator": "Press",
      "LongPressMs": 350,
      "ModifierKind": "None",
      "ModifierCode": 0
    },
    ...
  ],
  "StickToMouseSensitivity": 12.0,
  "MouseToStickSensitivity": 1.0,
  "StickDeadzone": 0.15,
  "StickAntiDeadzone": 0.0,
  "StickResponseCurve": 1.0,
  "StickMouseExponent": 1.4,
  "InvertMouseY": false
}

AutoPlayProfiles

{
  "Id": "...",
  "Name": "FPS Default",
  "Enabled": false,
  "OllamaModel": "moondream",
  "DecisionInterval": 0.3,
  "GameContext": "First-person shooter game...",
  "MatchProcess": "",
  "Actions": [
    {
      "Name": "move_forward",
      "Description": "Move forward — use when path is clear",
      "Keys": [{ "Kind": "Keyboard", "Code": 87 }, { "Kind": "GamepadButton", "Code": 0 }],
      "ActionType": "Continuous"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Quick-config menu

The cogwheel button in PowerAim’s title bar offers:

• Save as Quick Config — overwrites the currently loaded config
• Save Config as… — file-save dialog, choose a new filename
• Open Quick Config — re-load the currently loaded config (discards unsaved changes)
• Open Other Config — file-open dialog, pick another .cfg

After loading, the entire UI rebuilds with the new values.

Manual editing

PowerAim must be closed before editing the file — otherwise the in-memory config will overwrite your changes on exit.

Steps:

1. Close PowerAim
2. Open <install dir>\bin\configs\Default.cfg in your text editor
3. Edit any field. Make sure JSON stays valid (commas, quotes, braces).
4. Save
5. Launch PowerAim — it loads from your edited file

If PowerAim refuses to load a config, it falls back to defaults and writes a console message. Check the in-app log (sidebar → Logs).

Shared configs

The Models & Configs page → “Configs” segmented toggle pulls community-shared .cfg files from the same two repos as models. Click to download; PowerAim drops them in bin\configs\. The cogwheel menu picks them up automatically.
