Introduction

This is a very simple parser for the BF2 Con files. You can use it to create BF-Style configs for your python scripts! I haven't tried it in BF2 yet, but it should work fine :)

Info: Variables and Expressions are not supported! This is just for reading and saving informations!

Features

  • Reads Con files and returns it as a python list
  • Writes Con files from a python list to file

Usage

Include the code and include it to your python script - very simple :)

Read files:

config = readCon('MyConfig.con') 

Write files:

success = writeCon(config, 'MyConfig.con')

The Code

# CONTACT:

#
# USAGE (READ):
# config = readCon(file)
# Returns a list: [{key1: [values1]}, {key2: [values2, values2]}, ...]
#
# USAGE (WRITE):
# success = writeCon(config, file)
