| 448 | Shows a list of maps that are currently being visited or have been visited. |
448 | [crossfire+] |
| 449 | The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean: |
|
|
| 450 | |
449 | |
| 451 | Path: The last part of the map path |
450 | maps <mapname> |
| 452 | Pl: Players on the map. |
451 | |
| 453 | PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). |
452 | Shows a list of maps matching the regex <mapname> that are currently being |
| 454 | IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, |
453 | known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path: |
| 455 | 3) currently loading or 4) currently saving. |
454 | |
| 456 | TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. |
455 | =over 4 |
| 457 | Dif: Map difficulty. |
456 | |
| 458 | Reset: 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 | |
|
|
461 | The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about |
|
|
462 | 40 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads |
|
|
463 | most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is |
|
|
464 | currently 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 | |
|
|
468 | The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if |
|
|
469 | it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot |
|
|
470 | emergency 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 | |
|
|
474 | Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the |
|
|
475 | reset 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. |

|
|
592 | |
|
|
593 | Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided |
|
|
594 | value. The server will try not to send (much) more than this many bytes |
|
|
595 | per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to |
|
|
596 | hold back less important information (such as new images), to increase |
|
|
597 | responsiveness. The server-side default is usually quite high, around |
|
|
598 | 100000, so if you have a slow link and want to be able to control your |
|
|
599 | character even when downloading faces, set this to a lower value, such as |
|
|
600 | 7000 (for ISDN). |
