Save light/date/time-data in shared folder instead of UOX.INI

Post by Xuri »

I suggest moving all the dynamically changing parts of the [worldlight] section in UOX.INI to their own file in the SHARED folder, seeing as it would make more sense to save them along with the rest of the shard's dynamic data.

Consider the option that someone creates custom JS scripts that depend on the light/date/time-values from that [worldlight] section. If the server resides on a remote location, and they use say FTP to update the files, whenever they upload a new version of said UOX.INI, the values, the age of the shard (how many days it has been running), the light values - all will be overwritten. Not so if they were saved in the SHARED folder instead. :P

I've got a rough working version of this running on my local computer, once I put some more touches on it should be good to toss up on the CVS.
