| 1 | If you only have the "archetypes" and "treasures" files, you should fetch |
|
|
| 2 | some map-files by ftp. |
|
|
| 3 | A sample of map-files can be found by anonymous ftp to ftp.ifi.uio.no |
|
|
| 4 | in the file "/pub/crossfire/crossfire-<version>.maps.tar.Z". |
|
|
| 5 | Remember to fetch a version of maps which matches this version of crossfire. |
|
|
| 6 | If you fetch that file, just replace this lib-directory with the |
|
|
| 7 | lib-directory inside the tar-file. |
|
|
| 8 | |
|
|
| 9 | Any files in this directory can be compressed if you want to save space. |
|
|
| 10 | It is adviced, though, that the "maps" file is not compressed, since |
|
|
| 11 | it is accessed often. |

| 42 | crossfire.pix is where the color pixmaps (XPM) files are stored. |
|
|
| 43 | It is in one file for faster reading. Compressing this file with |
|
|
| 44 | gnuzip reduces from about 1500 K to about 122K (yes, less than 10% |
|
|
| 45 | of the size). This is a very good file to keep compressed if you |
|
|
| 46 | use color pixmaps, as it is only used when adding a new player who desires |
|
|
| 47 | to use the color pixmap features. |
