Customising Your Settings
Many of the Premvet settings are handled by the file params.txt.
In addition to the master file, there are two other optional 'params.txt' type files that can be used, all these files have the same format. The system will check them in the following order:
params.local |
params.txt |
params.USER-ID |
That is, an entry in params.local will be over-ridden by
one in params.txt. You should make sure entries appear in
the appropriate files.
With the last one params.USER-ID, this file should
live in the folder 'miscdir', and the 'USER-ID' will be replaced
with the user id of the user IN LOWERCASE. For example, if the
user id is set to TWM then the file will be
miscdir/params.twm.
So for user specific settings add them to params.USER-ID, general
settings to params.txt and site specific ones to
params.local.
params.local will NOT cross update, it will not be copied to play areas
and the likes. This is aimed at site specific settings.
