derpy's script loader - Config Files

DSL5 Config files are more like traditional INI files. Keys and values can be seperated with : or =, strings can be wrapped in quotation marks, and lines starting with [ are ignored.

All config files in DSL are comprised of simple key / value pairs using plain text. The first word on a line is considered the key, and the rest of the line (after skipping whitespace) is considered the value. Key names are case-sensitive, and no extra processing is done to the value by default. This means that the "type" of a value is only determined by the way it is used. The same key can be specified multiple times in a single config file. This functionality can be used to define an array of values. See AllConfigValues. A comment can be specified using #, which instructs DSL to ignore the rest of a line.

Main DSL Config

DSL's main config file can be found at _derpy_script_loader/config.txt. This file is generated when DSL is started if it does not exist or if it is not the correct config version.

It is a self-explanatory file so not every option will be broken down here, but there are some hidden options that do not get generated.

Script Collection Config

Every script collection can have its own config that defines how it should behave.

Script collection config files are explained in depth here.
