Custom cfg, blacklist from URL

[FleshyPod]

I am a creator of LAN AC competition at my school. Is there a way to run special config file hosted on website? This would save me from hours of reconfiguring when I decide to change some vars on each computer separately (all are the identical hardware), all I would need is to setup once and change cfg externally hosted.

That's a good idea. I don't think it's supported, but it should be.

There are several ways to do that.
1) host the stuff on an NFS/SMB/... drive and load the config file from there.
2) use something rsync/scp/... to actively push the file to the hosts
3) download the file every time a client is started, by adding something like

[SELECT ALL] Code:

curl http://path.to/config.cfg > config/saved.cfg

to the beginning of assaultcube.sh/assaultcube.bat. That's probably the most convenient option, and it doesn't need root.

Of course, there are additional ways, but they're probably more work than doing the stuff manually. How many instances are we talking about anyway?

For about 40 computers. I didn't even think that the competition will be THAT popular.

Not quite sure why I'm included :>


This would be a nice idea though.
