DX does indeed handle config vars that way. I assumed that's what we were talking about the whole time or I would have chimed in.

No, no I try to avoid configs as much as possible, just because..they confuse and scare me, to be honest.

I'm only self taught, after all.

Perhaps there could be an external ini file (I mean outside of hdtp.ini) so that it is easily replacable? I don't know if it's possible in UnrealScript, if you can call out to win32 you could use GetPrivateProfileString ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx ) of course.

You could do it with native code but that'd reduce compatibility and be harder to implement since you'd have to handle the serialization yourself.

Obviously it would be better if unrealscript could handle ini files natively, but I don't know their object model. Just suggesting the alternatives

I'd think char[] or strings would be possible natively from unrealscript? But if it's not required, that much the better.
