I am completely lost in C# as I have never used it before. However, I am trying to add a feature in the following code where custom variables can be imported from a text file (and if possible, exported, but that’s not as important. Can someone please guide me on how I can accomplish this?

        <p>This plugin allows you to set different game modes and custom variables throughout your map rotation.  You have the option of Normal Mode, Infantry Only Mode, Hardcore Mode, and Custom Settings mode.</p>
        <h2>Settings</h2>
        <p><b>Default Variables (Server Startup Variables)</b> - Set each of these to match whatever your server starts up with using the Startup.txt file. Each one starts with their default values in their fields. 
        This is used to change the unspecified variables <i>back</i> to your server's startup values. For example, when you leave a custom variable field blank for one map, it won't use the same value that was defined for the previous map 
        and will instead revert it back to default per this Default Variables list.</p>
        <p><b>Get/Refresh Your Map List?</b> - Use this to load each of your maps from your map list into a variable to assign a game mode to. (Plugin must be enabled for this to work)</p>
        <p>Set your maps under <b>Your Map Rotation</b> to whichever game settings you would like to be played for that map.</p>

Sounds like you want to serialize your C# state into a text format. Xml serialization: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlserializer.aspx

Serialization basics:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233843.aspx

Edit:

Example implementation using XmlSerializer:

public struct MyData
{
    public List<string> myMapList;
    public List<string> gameMode;
    public List<int> numRounds;
    public List<string> variableNames;
    public List<List<string>> customVariables;
    public List<string> defaultVariables;
    public List<string> defaultVariablesBackup;
}
private void SaveAllData()
{
    string dataFile = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "MyData.txt");

    MyData myData = new MyData()
    {
        myMapList = myMapList,
        gameMode = gameMode,
        numRounds = numRounds,
        variableNames = variableNames,
        customVariables = customVariables,
        defaultVariables = defaultVariables,
        defaultVariablesBackup = defaultVariablesBackup
    };
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyData));
    TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(dataFile);
    serializer.Serialize(writer, myData);
    writer.Dispose();
    writer = null;
}
private void LoadAllData()
{
    string dataFile = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "MyData.txt");

    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyData));
    TextReader reader = new StreamReader(dataFile);
    MyData myData = (MyData)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
    reader.Dispose();
    reader = null;

    myMapList = myData.myMapList;
    gameMode = myData.gameMode;
    numRounds = myData.numRounds;
    variableNames = myData.variableNames;
    customVariables = myData.customVariables;
    defaultVariables = myData.defaultVariables;
    defaultVariablesBackup = myData.defaultVariablesBackup;
}

You’ll need these using statements:

using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;

Place this somewhere in your “CSettingChangeOnMap” class. You may want to rename some things. I hope this helps 🙂
