What is the import folder for?
|
|
|
|
Most people don't know the real use of the import folder. After you do, you will wonder
|
|
what you ever did without it.
|
|
|
|
The main thing it does, is provide a way for you to change your config settings without
|
|
having to update the files every time you update your server. You store your changes, and
|
|
the rest are updated with eA (usually though SVN).
|
|
|
|
How does this work?
|
|
|
|
Well, you place only the settings you have changed in the import files. I'll use
|
|
battle_athena.conf and battle_conf.txt for my example. Everytime you update you conf
|
|
folder, using the normal method, you have to go and edit the configs again. So, you have to
|
|
redo your rates, redo your ip addresses, you have to redo it all. Well, not with the import
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
Say you want to change your base experience rate from the default (100)to 7x (700). Well
|
|
then you would place this in your import/battle_conf.txt:
|
|
|
|
// Rate at which exp. is given. (Note 2)
|
|
base_exp_rate: 700
|
|
|
|
You don't need the comment (duh, it's a commnet), but I usually leave them for clarity
|
|
sake.
|
|
|
|
So, now this new setting take place over the setting in battle_athena.conf. You just keep
|
|
this file everytime you update, and your setting will always be there. Neat, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
So, yeah, that's what the import folder is for. I hope to see a lot more people use it, to
|
|
make my life as a managed server runer better.
