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. |
| 12 |

Some info on the different files: |
| 14 |
--------------------------------- |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The "archetypes" file contains lots of generalized objects which makes it |
| 17 |
easier for the program to use similar items over and over again. This |
| 18 |
file is created from the archetypes in the arch directory. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The "treasures" file contains all kinds of randomized treasure, to be used when |
| 21 |
an archetype is generated from the "archetypes" file. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The file "highscore", of course, contains the highscores... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The "motd" file contains any messages to the players as they start the game. |
| 26 |
You can define where you want to place it in the file config.h. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The "shutdown" file, if it is here, gives the contents as a message to |
| 29 |
the players, then stops the game. In effect, the presence of this |
| 30 |
file will stop new players from entering the game. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The "forbid" file, if it is here, gives info on which times of the game |
| 33 |
it is allowed to play crossfire. Read "config.h" in the source directory |
| 34 |
for instructions on how to set up such a file. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The directory "players", if it is here, contains saved players. You can |
| 37 |
define where you want this directory to be in the file config.h. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The directory "adm", if it is here, contains administrive scripts and their |
| 40 |
log-files. (Check the ADMDIR variable in the Imakefile if it's not here.) |
| 41 |
|
| 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. |
