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.

360spells to keys like this: 340I<playerbook>, tab I<spells>, the press the right mosue button on the
341spell I<medium healing> and choose C<bind invoke ... to a key>. It is
342recommended to bind a healing spell or potion to an easily-accessible-key,

447 397
448Shows a list of maps that are currently being visited or have been visited. 398[crossfire+]
449The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean:
450 399
451Path: The last part of the map path 400 maps <mapname>
452Pl: Players on the map. 401
453PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 402Shows a list of maps matching the regex <mapname> that are currently being
454IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 403known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
4553) currently loading or 4) currently saving. 404
456TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. 405=over 4
457Dif: Map difficulty. 406
458Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 407=item Pl: the number of players on that map currently.
408
409=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
410
411The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
41240 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
413most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
414currently being loaded, but thats rare, as loading a map is fast.
415
416=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
417
418The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
419it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
420emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
421
422=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
423
424Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
425reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map.
426
427=item Path: the name that uniquely identifies the map, can be used for goto etc.

472Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
473value. The server will try not to send (much) more than this many bytes
474per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
475hold back less important information (such as new images), to increase
476responsiveness. The server-side default is usually quite high, around
477100000, so if you have a slow link and want to be able to control your
478character even when downloading faces, set this to a lower value, such as
4797000 (for ISDN).

969Traps appear at random in doors and in chests. Search those before you
