New function (configManager.setString)

[WibbenZ]

Well I just tought about it, why not add a function to change the string in config.lua. Ex. configManager.setString(motd, "Today is " os.date("%A"))

This would make it posible to add motds like cipsoft has, "Have a nice weekend" etc. But also things like if you are planning a longer server save its posible to do that without having to change it the day before that server save.

I think this is useless because "config" is a thing you only change a bit of times and if you need change that why you will change with a function ?

Well I just gave you a good reason with the motd, but the same goes for double exp / skill rates aswell. Den 11 jul 2014 21:48 skrev "djayk1" notifications@github.com:

But does it not req a reload?

[WibbenZ]

Yes it would but that can be handled via the new code, by using g_config.reload();

First of all: I'm still for restarting server every day Second: I don't think that RELOAD is needed, just overwrite value in memory

Because it is not data (as in database)

Server motd no longer exists, this can be closed.
