When you download Solar Conquest, it comes with a file called planet_classes.txt, which is a modifiable XML file that hosts can use to adjust the style of their gameplay a bit. However, when a new update is available and the host downloads it, it overrides their planet_classes.txt file with the new one, which restores everything to default again.
Any good ways to get around this?

You could have the game itself create the file upon first run if it doesn't exist already. Also, you could instead ship a planet_classes.txt.default, and instruct the host to save it without the .default extension.

I keep separate content files, tell creators to make their own, and read a config file to figure out which ones to load.

I'm not sure about this but I'll suggest it anyway.
1. Place planet_classes.txt in the "Defaults" directory. 2. When the world runs, use the fexists proc to locate a file of the same name in the "Config" directory. If the file does not exist make a copy of planet_classes.txt in that directory. 3. Use /Config/planet_classes.txt (You may use /Defaults/planet_classes.txt to 'Restore Default') | |
