Import Directories

What is the import directory for?

The import/ directory provides a way for you to change your config settings without the need to even touch the main /conf/ and /db/ files.

By placing your custom entries into the import/ directory within these two locations, your core files will not need to have any conflicts resolved when you update your server. You store your changes, and the rest is updated with rAthena.

How does this work?

Think of "import" as in "override". Place only the settings you have changed in the import files, or settings you are "overriding".

For example, when setting up a server there are always a few config settings that users would like to change in order for rAthena to suit their needs. The following example will show you how to use the /db/import/ directory correctly. (for /conf/import/ examples, see /conf/readme.md)

/db/import/map_index.txt

    1@home	1250
    2@home

    ev_has
    shops
    prt_pvp

We want to ensure that specific items cannot be traded, sold, dropped, placed in storage, etc.

/db/import/item_db.yml

    - Id: 34000 # Old Green Box
      Trade:
        NoDrop: true
        NoTrade: true
        TradePartner: true
        NoSell: true
        NoCart: true
        NoStorage: true
        NoGuildStorage: true
        NoMail: true
        NoAuction: true
    - Id: 34001 # House Keys
      Trade:
        NoDrop: true
        NoTrade: true
        TradePartner: true
        NoSell: true
        NoCart: true
        NoStorage: true
        NoGuildStorage: true
        NoMail: true
        NoAuction: true
    - Id: 34002 # Reputation Journal
      Trade:
        NoDrop: true
        NoTrade: true
        TradePartner: true
        NoSell: true
        NoCart: true
        NoStorage: true
        NoGuildStorage: true
        NoMail: true
        NoAuction: true

Custom Quests

---

We want to add our own custom quests to the quest_db.

/db/import/quest_db.yml

    - Id: 89001
      Title: "Reputation Quest"
    - Id: 89002
      Title: "Reputation Quest"

We cannot stress enough how helpful this system is for everyone. The majority of git conflicts will simply go away if users make use of the import/ system.
