Loading/Writing to config files

[Guest]

Hello everyone!  I'm wondering how I'd load AND write to config files.  I've loaded the up before, but I need to be able to write certain values, and create new config files.  Thanks.

Loading assuming nodes are in GameData but not PluginData (ie. preloaded by KSP): https://github.com/Crzyrndm/Pilot-Assistant/blob/master/PilotAssistant/PresetManager.cs#L99

Loading direct from file (eg. files inside PluginData that aren't preloaded): https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/blob/master/FilterExtension/Settings.cs#L58-L60

Saving: https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/blob/master/FilterExtension/Settings.cs#L89-L91

Or: https://github.com/Crzyrndm/Pilot-Assistant/blob/master/PilotAssistant/PresetManager.cs#L157

This is great. But why are the methods "static"?

public static void LoadSettings()

public static void LoadSettings()

What does that add here I'm wondering? I'm sure it has it reasons, just want to understand it's significans

static is a C# keyword meaning that only one instance of that class can exist.

In this case it's being used so other classes can call the LoadSettings method without having to get a reference to the Settings class instance first.
