Feature: Can the default call to the worldserver.conf.dist configuration file be made during core startup? about azerothcore-wotlk HOT 8 CLOSED

as far as I can tell the .dist holds the default values and acts as a template for the .conf.

some settings must be present in the .conf file, but for many settings if they are not present in the .conf, the core will load their default values that are defined in the source code (!), which should usually be equal to the default value present in the .dist

Yes, but if the conf file is missing parameters, the core will report an error upon startup. Therefore, I hope to adjust to prioritize reading parameters from the conf file. If a parameter is not present in the conf, then reading the parameters from dist will suffice. This way, conf only needs to contain the parameters one wishes to modify, which will make it appear less bloated.

It will just throw a warning that there is no value in conf file. You don't need to have them all in the conf file (Just a few mandatory like database credentials). Rest is read from the core

the .dist is just a distribution file and not intended to be read

Here's some reading on how config files work

But if the conf file is missing any parameter, the core will report an error in red when it starts up. How can I cancel these prompts?

from azerothcore-wotlk.

After I filled in the following parameters in the conf configuration file, it was impossible to start.
[worldserver]
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;azerothcore_test_auth"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;azerothcore_test_world"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;azerothcore_test_chars"

Correct, it is just telling you that the configs are missing. They are moreso warnings over errors, because an error would halt the server.

Because there are more mandatory settings....

To make it easy I would say most settings, not all, in SERVER SYSTEM SETTINGS should be present in the conf file. At least DATABASE & CONNECTIONS DIRECTORIES AUTOUPDATER

while GAME SETTINGS don't.

Excuse me, how should I modify the code if I want to cancel the red alert due to the lack of the GAME SETTINGS section?
