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.

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.

Neat, isn't it? +You could instead copy the setting into /import/battle_conf.txt, +and you'll eliminate any problems updating in the future. -So, yeah, that's what the import folder is for.
