443 447
444Shows a list of maps that are currently being visited or have been visited. 448[crossfire+]
445The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean:
446 449
447Path: The last part of the map path 450 maps <mapname>
448Pl: Players on the map. 451
449PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 452Shows a list of maps matching the regex <mapname> that are currently being
450IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 453known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
4513) currently loading or 4) currently saving. 454
452TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. 455=over 4
453Dif: Map difficulty. 456
454Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 457=item Pl: the number of players on that map currently.
458
459=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
460
461The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
46240 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
463most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
464currently being loaded, but thats rare, as loading a map is fast.
465
466=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
467
468The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
469it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
470emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
471
472=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
473
474Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
475reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map.
476
477=item Path: the name that uniquely identifies the map, can be used for goto etc.

593=head2 output-rate [bytes per second]
594
595Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
596value. The server will try not to send (much) more than this many bytes
597per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
598hold back less important information (such as new images), to increase
599responsiveness. The server-side default is usually quite high, around
600100000, so if you have a slow link and want to be able to control your
601character even when downloading faces, set this to a lower value, such as
6027000 (for ISDN).
