Optionally search the server_config.ini without /cfg subdirectory #16

Closed minolin closed 9 years ago

Marcterv has problems because somehow his setup doesn't use a ac_server_directory/cfg folder. http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/server-plugin-minorating-com-server-admin-thread.25751/#post-520871

Solution 1: If the file doesn't exist, search again without cfg/

Solution 2: Force the admins to use ../../cfg as ac_server_directory Don't like that one

Solution 3: Introduce a second appSetting "config Folder" with default value "cfg"

Preferences?

Solution 4: Let the user specify the server_cfg and entry_list as command line arguments (similar to acServer with -c and -e). Has the advantage that the user doesn't need to make several copies of the plugin.exe.

I think 3 or 4 are the way to go, I'm fine with both.

After some thought, scratch Solution 4. Perhaps there are other config settings the admin wants to set differently for each server.

So I would suggest Solution 3, but optionally we could implement command line arguments for the plugin where the admin can specify the app.config to be used, like "plugin.exe Server_01/plugin.exe.config". If not specified the default config next to the plugin.exe is used.

I quickhacked #3, but it seems to be broken somehow. We should rewrite that "find the config dir" code, it is a bit messy.

I think it's solved for now. Cumbersome to have two directories, but maybe we want to find more than the config one day (think about checksums here).
