Global server settings

[Aki]

Currently all server settings are galaxy-wide. That is not really handy. Can we get global server settings (per server installation instance)?

What kinds of settings would you like to store there? Where should the file be located on linux and windows?

Here is how I would make it:

Default in the server root or in e.g. /config directory. I would make it definable via inline parameter (e.g. -config=<path relative/full>) but it is not needed (symlinks).

Global files for server would be: admin.xml, blacklist.txt, ipblacklist.txt, server.ini, whitelist.txt.

Also I would create separate /logs (/ is game root, not galaxy) folder to keep it clean. If there is one automatic logs clean-up should be switchable (on/off, default: on). Via server config - not parameter. No need to add configurable time delay for it, as server administrator can just turn it off and write own (one-liner) script for cleanup.

 

I think I had one more thing to mention but I totally forgot about it while I was writing this post. Duh.  ???
