Simple configuration loading method, credit to Bara.

Example usage:

void OnPluginStart(){
    char file[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    BuildPath(Path_SM, file, sizeof(file), "configs/mysettings.cfg");

    if(Config_Setup("Server-Settings", file)){
        bool mybool = Config_LoadBool("mybool", true, "Default bool description");
        int myint = Config_LoadInt("myint", 0, "Default int description");
        float myfloat = Config_LoadFloat("myfloat", 0.0, "Default float description");

        char buffer[128];
        Config_LoadString("mystring", "default string description", "Default string description", buffer, sizeof(buffer));

        Config_Done();
    }
}

This example was updated 2/25/2016 to reflect the change made on the repository on 1/12/2016.

This has been available for some time and is seen in use in the Trouble in Terrorist Town plugin; I am just now posting it here in the hopes more people will find use in it.

Updated to re-use the same KeyValues handle instead of opening several.

Plugins can also opt for putting configs into convars.
Example:

PHP Code:

bool g_Enabled;
Handle g_Cvar_Enabled;

public OnPluginStart() {
    g_Cvar_Enabled = CreateConVar("something_enable", "1", "Enable or Disable [0 = FALSE, 1 = TRUE, DEFAULT: 1]",FCVAR_NONE, true, 0.0, true, 1.0);
    AutoExecConfig(true, "haletracks");
}

public OnConfigsExecuted() {

    g_Enabled = GetConVarBool(g_Cvar_Enabled);
} 


AutoExecConfig will automatically generate a config file that includes the 'CreateConVar' keys and values. It will load these values if the file exists.

It will load these values if the file exists.

AutoExecConfigs places the config into the engine's config list to execute commands from automatically. If file doesn't exist, AutoExecConfig generates it based on the CVars the plugin owns(you can see list via sm plugins cvars #pluginnumhere) then adds it to list.

Updated the include with new method using only one KeyValues handle. Check up on the new example for how to make it work.

ummm with convar we can set the convar values on the fly
how to do it with this system....?

and why is there a need for this??
