Description:: Updates config without restarting. Attributes and classes can not be deleted unless delete is used. Changes to the config are applied to all new entities, a mission restart is not necessarily required. Spawning the vehicle again or switching weapons works too. Since 1.70 CfgAmmo should be mergeable as well.
⚠
Merging a config with an include statement, that points to a non existing file, will crash the game.

Syntax:: diag_mergeConfigFile [path, userdir]
Parameters:: path: String - Absolute or relative path
: userdir: Boolean - (Optional, default false) Path is relative to the user directory, otherwise it is relative to the mission directory
Return Value:: Nothing
