This section contains 3 keys, major, minor and build which indicate the latest version of DCFactory to any client that cares. If this is higher then the version the client is, it will advise the user there is probably an upgrade waiting.
[news]
This section contains only 1 key, count, which indicates the number of articleN and textN articles.
[articleN]
There are N of these sections, called article0 to articleN. Each section desribes a particular article. Lets again look at an example:
[article1]
date=12/5/01
author=kRYPT_
title=First Public Beta!
This section is fairly self explanitory, so if you don't get it.. then.. maybe you should consider something other then programming.
[textN]
There are N of these sections, called text0 to textN. Each section contains the text for each of the articleN. It contains a count key, which indicates the number of lines of text. These lines themselves are in the keys numbered 0..count. Examples are always good, so:
[text1]
count=3
1=This is a sample!
3=Note that you can skip numbers for blank lines.
This is all the information you need to be able to make your own news sources. The other option is to create a News Parser for whatever site you want to grab news from, but more on that later in the guide.
