Scripts:ConParser

Introduction

This is a very simple parser for the BF2 Con files. You can use it to create BF-Style configs for your python scripts! I haven't tried it in BF2 yet, but it should work fine :)

Info: Variables and Expressions are not supported! This is just for reading and saving informations!

Features

• Reads Con files and returns it as a python list
• Writes Con files from a python list to file

Usage

Include the code and include it to your python script - very simple :)

Read files:

config = readCon('MyConfig.con')

Write files:

success = writeCon(config, 'MyConfig.con')
