AutoExecConfig

An includefile to read and append to autoconfigs created by sourcemod.

How does it work?

If you add a convar via AutoExecConfig_CreateConVar it will be searched in the autoconfigfile you have set before.
If it can't be found within the file, it will add it with the information you created the convar with.
After that the file can be cleaned from unneccessary whitespaces created by the user or autoexecconfig itself.
The autoexecconfig.sp might contain useful information.

Implementing

One thing i had in mind while writing this was easy implementation. For basic usage you only have to add 2 lines and rename the command you created your convars with.

An example

Let's assume you already wrote a plugin with some convars which might look like this.

public OnPluginStart()
{
	CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_enabled", "1", "Whether or not this plugin is enabled");
	CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_chattrigger", "myplugin", "Chattrigger to open the menu of this plugin");
	CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_adminflag", "b", "Adminflag needed to use the chattrigger");
	
	AutoExecConfig(true, "plugin.myplugin");
}

In order to use this include it would simply have to be changed to this:

public OnPluginStart()
{
	// Sets the file for the include, must be done before using most other functions
	// The .cfg file extension can be left off
	AutoExecConfig_SetFile("plugin.myplugin");
	
	AutoExecConfig_CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_enabled", "1", "Whether or not this plugin is enabled");
	AutoExecConfig_CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_chattrigger", "myplugin", "Chattrigger to open the menu of this plugin");
	AutoExecConfig_CreateConVar("sm_myplugin_adminflag", "b", "Adminflag needed to use the chattrigger");
	
	// Uses AutoExecConfig internally using the file set by AutoExecConfig_SetFile
	AutoExecConfig_ExecuteFile();
	
	// Cleaning is an optional operation that removes whitespaces that might have been introduced and formats the file in a certain way
	// It is an expensive operation (file operations is relatively slow) and should be done at the end when the file will not be written to anymore
	AutoExecConfig_CleanFile();
}

Notes

• The parser will ignore spaces between cvars and values, inside values or behind values for security.
• The search of the parser, by default, is case sensitive.
• Convars with a FCVAR_DONTRECORD flag will be skipped by the appender.
• The cleaner will format your file the way autoexecconfig does, 2 spaces after information, 1 after cvars.
