260
261Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
262summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
263golems.
264
265If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
266with the creature name in parantheses.
267
268To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
269your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
270and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.
271
272Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will
273disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
274range type, your golem will disappear.

443 424
444Shows a list of maps that are currently being visited or have been visited. 425[crossfire+]
445The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean:
446 426
447Path: The last part of the map path 427 maps <mapname>
448Pl: Players on the map. 428
449PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 429Shows 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, 430known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
4513) currently loading or 4) currently saving. 431
452TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. 432=over 4
453Dif: Map difficulty. 433
454Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 434=item Pl: the number of players on that map currently.
435
436=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
437
438The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
43940 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
440most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
441currently being loaded, but thats rare, as loading a map is fast.
442
443=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
444
445The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
446it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
447emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
448
449=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
450
451Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
452reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map.
