59	or run your own server and connect to that. The client package has

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

		90	archetype packs:
73		91
		92	Download both the cfmaps-<version> and cfarch-<version> archives, then
		93	use cfutil to install both (the source directories must be writable for
		94	this to work):
		95
		96	cfutil --install-maps path/to/cfmaps-<version>/
		97	cfutil --install-arch path/to/cfarch-<version>/
		98
		99	Both processes can take some time, depending on your resources :) If you
		100	plan to repeat the installation you should specify the --cache option
		101	first, which will keep costly-to-generate files around for further runs
		102	of cfutil:
		103
		104	cfutil --cache --install-maps path/to/cfmaps-<version>/
		105	cfutil --cache --install-arch path/to/cfarch-<version>/
		106
		107	Atfer this you can then run the crossfire executable. This starts a
		108	server which you/other people can connect to.
