60	or run your own server and connect to that. The client package has
61	information for connecting to servers.

67	properly. The map pack is released together with the server and can be
68	downloaded form the same location. The maps should be copied into the
69	$(TARGET)/share/crossfire/maps directory - after unpacking, you should
70	have a $(TARGET)/share/crossfire/maps/scorn directory.

72	If you plan to run a long term server, you should use one of the scripts	87	To run your own server, you need to build the crossfire server binaries

		89	archetype packs:
74		90
		91	Download both the cfmaps-<version> and cfarch-<version> archives, then
		92	use cfutil to install both (the source directories must be writable for
		93	this to work):
		94
		95	cfutil --install-maps path/to/cfmaps-<version>/
		96	cfutil --install-arch path/to/cfarch-<version>/
		97
		98	Both processes can take some time, depending on your resources :) If you
		99	plan to repeat the installation you should specify the --cache option
		100	first, which will keep costly-to-generate files around for further runs
		101	of cfutil:
		102
		103	cfutil --cache --install-maps path/to/cfmaps-<version>/
		104	cfutil --cache --install-arch path/to/cfarch-<version>/
		105
		106	Atfer this you can then run the crossfire executable. This starts a
		107	server which you/other people can connect to.
