[RaceIntoSpace-developer] Configuration file implementation

[Krzysztof K. <k.k...@gm...>]

Moving discussion from the "General discussion" forum on sourceforge.

The following functions do the trick:

options.c:setup_options():336 <- this is called from main
options.c:read_config_file():184 <- this is called from setup_options
options.c:write_default_config():260 <- this is called if read_config_file fails

The options has type game_options, and the type is declared in options.h

The config file parsing is driven by the table config_strings that is defined
in options.c:85.

These functions have been around since 0.3 or so, so it's not possible
you don't have them/they do not work for you in either linux or windows
(unless something is buggy, of course). In the latter case please bump up
debug level and check what happens during startup.

Best regards,
