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 rAthena (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
+Place only the settings you have changed in the import files.
+For example, if you want to change a value in /battle/exp.conf:
-You don't need the comment (duh, it's a commnet), but I usually leave them for clarity
-sake.
+ // Rate at which exp. is given. (Note 2)
+ base_exp_rate: 700
-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?
+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. I hope to see a lot more people use it, to
-make my life as a managed server runer better.
+Neat, isn't it?
