[bfprog] Configuration Variables?

[Forrest Thiessen]

There's a function in the wiki "cookbook" section that accesses
configuration variables:
    
http://bf2.fun-o-matic.org/index.php/Cookbook:Finding_the_Value_of_a_Server_Configuration_Variable

It works great on standard config variables built into BF2.  However,
the second part of your question is about putting your own custom
variables into the main BF2 .con files, and I have *not* found a way to
get that to work, yet.  I tried adding a line to ServerSettings.con, for
example, that said "sv.forrest 1".  When I try retrieving the value of
sv.forrest, I get an error--something like "unknown variable" (it might
be slightly different--I don't remember the exact wording of the error).

You can always make your own .con file, and read and parse it during
game startup, but I understand why you'd prefer to use the existing
configuration mechanism.
