262summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
263golems.

269your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
270and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.

449PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 419
450IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 420=over 4

425
426The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
42740 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
428most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is

433The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if

491Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
492value. The server will try very hard not to send more than this many bytes
493per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
494hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
495responsiveness.
496
497The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
498server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
499bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
500the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
501output-rate is not required.
