Not sure if a config file option makes sense or if the bat file checks whether a irc subfolder with the binary exists.

These are different pieces of software.

I meant with that, that something like the bat file can start it automatically, if said folder and file exist. That approach doesn't need anything special and the bat file should be able to do it just fine

The bat file can make no assumption about where the IRC server is and if you even want it to be started, e.g. you need to update it considerably less often.

The bat file can make no assumption about where the IRC server is and if you even want it to be started, e.g. you need to update it considerably less often.

I know, the path would sorta be hardcoded and the user may need to manually update it (the path to the IRC could be mentioned in the setup guide perhaps). Still, it gives the convenience to the user that the bat starts it for them every time, and they don't need to manually double click the exe themselves every time. A small example that I was thinking of (lemme know if I should make a PR or not):

@echo off

echo Updating SpaceNinjaServer...
git config remote.origin.url https://openwf.io/SpaceNinjaServer.git
git fetch --prune
git reset --hard origin/main

if exist static\data\0\ (
	echo Updating stripped assets...
	cd static\data\0\
	git pull
	cd ..\..\..\
)

if exist irc\warframe-irc-server.exe (
	echo Starting IRC Server...
	start irc\warframe-irc-server.exe
)

echo Updating dependencies...
call npm i --omit=dev

call npm run build
if %errorlevel% == 0 (
	call npm run start
	echo SpaceNinjaServer seems to have crashed.
)
:a
pause > nul
goto a

Or you can just add a shortcut to the IRC server in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Maybe need to write a little powershell to make it not show up the console window.

I don't have any issue if the IRC console window shows up. Then again, lmk if I should make a PR, to have this optionally starting by the bat. Otherwise, we can leave it at that.
