A .cfg creator

Is it possible to auto-create the .cfg file for plugins without actually starting a server?

It's a real pain in the ass to start the game, make a game, let it auto-create the file, then close the game just to get the .cfg

Hmm, not really, the server is the fastest way for me.

Edit: If you are actually starting the game and then starting an offline server, use the dedicated server from the game.

hehe yeah, but it would be a lot faster if there was a program that loaded all the plugins instead of starting a server wouldn't it?

you could write a small script (in perl, phyton, php whatever) which parses your plugin .sp file(s) and outputs the exact same config as the server would. which can get pretty complicated though :[

Here's a dirty Python script to create the config files. Have fun.

EDIT: Updated, I forgot one little thing.
EDIT: Updated, made the syntax more flexible.
EDIT: Support for escaped characters in descriptions.
EDIT: Fixed bug when the plugin doesn't use AutoExecConfig

Really nice! Make support for escaped characters (like quotes) in descriptions, and it will be complete.

Done

Now I get "Specified plugin doesn't register any cvar".

Why is "CreateConVar" changed to "register_cvar"?

I'm sorry, but what do I do with the .py file?

I tried to open it with Python but...doesn't work. It just pops up a cmd for 1 second then closes
