?setgroup -a -p breaks in private arena's

[Joris]

Private arena's begin with a # After ?setgroup -a -p the resulting line in staff.conf is: "#arena:Name = arenaowner"

The # character is used for preprocessor instructions so the line is ignored.

The following works however: [#arena] Name = arenaowner

Since any section may occur multiple times, the easiest solution would be to simply generate the 2 line version for private arena's.

I had this issue, except I thought I FIXED it by using ?Setgroup...oh well anyway however I figured it out, you can also do \#arena:name=mod

Arenaowner by the classic definition is basically sysop access whether you like it or not, beware when using such a group.

Regardless if there's a problem with ?setgroup it's probably an underlying problem with the conf infrastructure (SetStr) so I couldn't guess on when anyone would work on it.

Our arenaowners have no putfile, only putmap and quickfix. We just use it so people can test maps on their own. I would probably use chrooted FTP if they absolutely needed to upload lvz.

I would imagine simply escaping any leading # [ \ in the config module would fix the issue.
