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. + +Semi-guide by Ajarn \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-60-g2f50
