Load multiple conf files?

2003-01-04T18:04:31-04:00

The config file, is infact a Tcl script in itself, in it's simplest form.

The source command is provided by Tcl, and serves the same purposeas "include".

As such, you can have you 4 line config file, then append a simple source line, to load the rest of the repeated stuff.

I use this method for my bots.

I use 4 files for each bot.

1: Contains the server list, so It's dead simple to edit one file.

2: Is the static settings

3: Is the per bot settings like IP, host, nickname botnickname and so on

4: Is a dynamic file. It's a small script, desined to make the userfile, channels and notes filenames, out of the information provided, and converting nasty charcters into ones that can be used for filenames.

Load multiple conf files?

2003-01-04T17:46:38-04:00

Currently, I have 4 bots running on the same machine. They use their own conf files but the conf files are all exactly the same (except for the 4 changes I had to make in each one to change the name of each bot and it's user file, etc.). Is there a way to instead have a master eggdrop.conf file that is loaded for each bot and then I would have a small conf file specifically for each bot that just has the settings for it's name, etc. This would allow me to easily change .conf file settings in just one file -- not 4. Is there something like an include command? Or maybe it could be done through a script? How about editing the actual source files?

Basically, I want 2 conf files loaded for each bot -- the master one and the small one (with the name settings).

Any help/ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
