.ign files
What is a .ign file?
When you upload an addon, some files/directory are ignored and not uploaded. If you want to configure more closely which files/directories should be ignored, you need a .ign.
What goes into a .ign file?
The file format is one entry per line.
- * and ? wildcards are supported (? mean any character, * mean any number of any character)
- Directories are identified by a trailing /
Where do i put the .ign file?
2 Solutions :
- put campaignname.ign next to the campaignname.pbl and campaignname.cfg (old style)
- put a _server.ign next into the campaign directory (new style)
How does this works?
If there is no file, the default filter is :
- *~
- *.pbl
- *.ign
- *-bak
If there is a .ign file the filter is the content of the file : Each file/directory that match any entry of the .ign file will not be uploaded on the campaign server.
