Scripting suggestion: Creating folders

[DarkCrusade]

It is annoying to tell users of scripts to create folders at certain places, especially when you are asked why some stuff doesn't work correctly after you explained it in detail already. Maximum usability of scripting can only be reached, if the user can use them with ease and doesn't need a lot of time to implement scripts on his server. This is why I would like to have these functions:

Code: [Select]

function folder_exists(directory:string):boolean;

Code: [Select]

procedure create_folder(directory:string)
It will make scripting so much easier. It is especially useful for saving stats, because you can create one folder a day or a week to get a good overview.


Additionally, some kind of offline-database for available functions and variables would be nice. Be it a .txt or some downloadable website: I don't care

I would like to mention a few other things:
It is possible with shell_exec

Another thing: I don't think you can expect the normal user to understand how you can start a server with safemode turned off, so I think it would be nice if you were just able to use something like

Code: (pascal) [Select]

procedure activateServer();
begin
  SafeMode:=0;
end;
to make scripts more user-friendly.

Or just make it create folders automatically when the file is saved in folder which doesn't exists.
