| 1 | What is the import folder for? |

| 2 | |

| 3 | Most people don't know the real use of the import folder. After you do, you will wonder |
|---|
| 4 | what you ever did without it. |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | The main thing it does, is provide a way for you to change your config settings without |
|---|
| 7 | having to update the files every time you update your server. You store your changes, and |
|---|
| 8 | the rest are updated with eA (usually though SVN). |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | How does this work? |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | Well, you place only the settings you have changed in the import files. I'll use |
|---|
| 13 | battle_athena.conf and battle_conf.txt for my example. Everytime you update you conf |
|---|
| 14 | folder, using the normal method, you have to go and edit the configs again. So, you have to |
|---|
| 15 | redo your rates, redo your ip addresses, you have to redo it all. Well, not with the import |
|---|
| 16 | system. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Say you want to change your base experience rate from the default (100)to 7x (700). Well |
|---|
| 19 | then you would place this in your import/battle_conf.txt: |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | // Rate at which exp. is given. (Note 2) |
|---|
| 22 | base_exp_rate: 700 |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | You don't need the comment (duh, it's a commnet), but I usually leave them for clarity |
|---|
| 25 | sake. |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | So, now this new setting take place over the setting in battle_athena.conf. You just keep |
|---|
| 28 | this file everytime you update, and your setting will always be there. Neat, isn't it? |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | So, yeah, that's what the import folder is for. I hope to see a lot more people use it, to |
|---|
| 31 | make my life as a managed server runer better. |
