Reloading

dLottery reads settings.yml, database.yml and messages.yml at startup.

Change	How to apply
settings.yml (round length, price, tax, VIP caps, reminders)	Restart the server (or a full plugin reload). New values apply to the next round.
messages.yml	Restart / full reload.
database.yml	Restart — the connection pool is built at startup.

Changing lossTime, ticketPrice or taxesPercent does not retroactively alter the round that’s already open — it takes effect when the next round opens (or after a restart). Use /lottery shuffle or /lottery reset to end the current round first if you want new settings to apply right away.
