First of all:

This is NOT a Mod, it is a tool for Mod-Creators.

 

I made this to sum up every config for a mod into one File. Also it is now reall easy to read from text-files.

Also because it was a great function in the ServerAddon @itsmods

 

 

How to use it(Instructions for the File-Layout):

• There is only one File: mod_config.ini . It is located in the admin Folder of your Server
  
• If there is none, create it
  
• Use the following Layout:
  

  [section]
  Variablename=Value
  Variablename2=Value45
  
  [MyHighJumpMod]
  JumpHeight=453
  PlayerSpeed=53453
  
  [YourAwsomeMod]
  YourMoreAwsomeVariableName=1337
  

 

How to add it in your Mod:

• Copy this code inside your class:
  

  /**Searched through the mod_config.ini.
   *@ param Section The Section where the Variablename is located
   *@ param VariableName The Variablename
   *@ param DefaultValue This Value is beeing returned when there is no mod_config.ini or the Section could not be found or the VariableName could not be found
  */
  static public String getServerConfig(String Section, String VariableName, String DefaultValue)
         {
             string Path = "admin\\mod_config.ini";
  
             if (!File.Exists(Path))
                 return DefaultValue;
  
             StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Path);
  
             bool InSection = false;
             for (String line = sr.ReadLine(); line != null; line = sr.ReadLine())
             {
                 //***** SEARCHING THE CORRECT SECTION
                 if (!InSection && line.StartsWith("["))
                 {
                     line = line.Substring(1, line.Length - 2);
                     if (line.CompareTo(Section) != 0)
                         continue;
                     InSection = true;
                     continue;
                 }
                 //***** SEARCHING THE CORRECT SECTION
  
                 if (!InSection)
                     continue;
  
                 //***** EXITING WHEN ANOTHER SECTION BEGINS
                 if (InSection && line.StartsWith("["))
                 {
                     return DefaultValue;
                 }
                 //***** EXITING WHEN ANOTHER SECTION BEGINS
  
                 //***** SEARCHING FOR THE VARIABLE NAME AND GRABBING THE VALUE
                 if (InSection)
                 {
                     String[] splitted = line.Split('=');
                     if (splitted.Length != 2)
                         continue;
  
                     if (splitted[0].CompareTo(VariableName) != 0)
                         continue;
  
                     return splitted[1];
                 }
                 //***** SEARCHING FOR THE VARIABLE NAME AND GRABBING THE VALUE
             }
             return DefaultValue;
         }

  
  

• Usage in your code:
  

  int jumpheight=getServerConfig("MyHighJumpMod","JumpHeight","45");

why not just use dvars?

It is to get some some Variables for the Configuration of a MOD.

 

So if somebody want to develop a MOD where the Serveradmin can change between Sniper with knifing or Sniper without knifing.

 

E.G:

 

• [sniperMod]
  KnifingEnabled=0

And how would that be impossible with dvars?

 

- script:

this._enableKnife = (Call("getDvarInt", "omgsnipe_knife", 0) != 0);

 

- server.cfg:

seta omgsnipe_knife 1

 

This also allows multiple server instances running your plugin to have different settings from each other.

Umm, i think you are right.

 

This Thread is useless then
