No #base or #include in config files?

On the config files for TF2Items, it seems like you can't use #base or #include to include other files. This would be useful because you can then organize the custom weapon properties on a per-class basis (ie. have a separate file for every class)

Re: No #base or #include in config files?

tf2items_manager doesn't have any say in the file parsing, it's a standard Valve KeyValues file.

On the Valve developer wiki or w/e, it says that it has those features...

Re: No #base or #include in config files?

So, I just wrote a preprocessor script that does this for me in Lua.

Code:

if not arg[1] then error "No template file given." end

print("Generating tf2items configuration from "..arg[1])

local finishedFile = ""

function parse(file)

  local out=""

  for line in io.lines(file) do

    if line:match("[ \t]+#inc \"(.+)\"") then

      print("included file: "..line:match("[ \t]+#inc \"(.+)\""))

      out=out..parse(line:match("[ \t]+#inc \"(.+)\""))

    else

      out=out..line.."\n"

    end

  end

  return out

end

finishedFile=parse(arg[1])

print("Done generating output.")

f=io.open("tf2items.weapons.txt","w")

f:write(finishedFile)

f:close()

Run it with lua script.lua template.txt
where a template is like a normal config file but lets you include files with #inc "filename"
