config update

[Aekom]

Hey all,

If I add an IP to serverblacklist.cfg while my server is running, how long will it be before it'll take effect? Or will I have to restart it?

Not using any mods here, FYI. Just the standard command-line.

Thanks.

You'll have to restart the server

In the case of GUI servers, however, it'll automatically update itself every few minutes

Great, thanks. :)

Option to reload .cfgs might be a good feature request. Similar to typing "/exec config/autoexec.cfg" in game.

Contrary to what Mai Mee Tur has written, a default server re-reads the following configs every minute:
Maprot
IP blacklist
Nickname blacklist
Forbidden word list
Admin/deban password list
Changes to servercmdline.txt, motd_xx.txt and serverinfo_xx.txt do need a server restart.

Similar to typing "/exec config/autoexec.cfg" in game.

Except for the part where your custom menus are duplicated. Hrm,
* V-Man makes an addition to the ideas thread

Jamz: Would that be something new? The default server never did that in 1.0, or at least, not for me.

It certainly was there in 1.0; it was advertised as a new feature in 1.0.4.This is the only code submission which refers to it, but it appears that the code relevant to checking every 60s was already there, so this might be a bugfix. IANACoder.
