Macros cause parsing to fail (#define and #include statements)

[dijksterhuis]

Was parsing Mike Force vehicle configs as the tag inclusions/exclusions can be pain to work out the final results without starting the gamemode and manually testing.

The parser would fail on these first macro lines

#include "..\ui\icons.inc"

#define RESPAWN_SHORT respawnType = "RESPAWN"; time = 10
#define RESPAWN_MEDIUM respawnType = "RESPAWN"; time = 30
#define RESPAWN_LONG respawnType = "RESPAWN"; time = 60
#define WRECK_SHORT respawnType = "WRECK"; time = 10
#define WRECK_MEDIUM respawnType = "WRECK"; time = 30
#define WRECK_LONG respawnType = "WRECK"; time = 60

#include is a similar issue to #8 as it loads in additional config classes from somewhere else (inheritance is so fun isn't it :P )

But #define macros are used to inject common values later in the config file.... and they don't necessarily have a key that can be parsed by armaclass

NOTE -- I think the lack of a key caused errors without doing with the macro replacement on RESPAWN_SHORT. However, it was over 12 hours ago and i'm about to go to bed as it's 6am. so I could be wrong!

https://github.com/Savage-Game-Design/Mike-Force/blob/development/mission/config/subconfigs/vehicle_respawn_info.hpp#L503

class spawn_point_types {
	class light_transport {
		name = "Light transport";
		RESPAWN_SHORT;  // the problem line
		class categories {
			...
		}
	}
}

I've got a very messy, hacked together script which could possibly turn into a PR at some point.

• grabs the config file with readlines
• ignores the #include macros
• grabs the #define macros and parses them
• replaces everything in the readlines data that matches the macro key
• feeds the fixed readlines data to armaclass.parse

Of course, there's also another option which is just to flat out exclude macros and any lines that don't have an appropriate key!
