269 | Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many |
|
|
270 | summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called |
|
|
271 | golems. |
|
|
272 | |
|
|
273 | If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem, |
|
|
274 | with the creature name in parantheses. |
|
|
275 | |
|
|
276 | To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want |
|
|
277 | your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction, |
|
|
278 | and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction. |
|
|
279 | |
|
|
280 | Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will |
|
|
281 | disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your |
|
|
282 | range type, your golem will disappear. |

438 | known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path: |
463 | 3) currently loading or 4) currently saving. |
439 | |
464 | TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. |

445 | |
|
|
446 | The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about |
|
|
447 | 40 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads |
|
|
448 | most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is |
|
|
449 | currently being loaded, but thats rare, as loading a map is fast. |

|
|
452 | |
|
|
453 | The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if |
|
|
454 | it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot |

972 | d |
|
|
973 | Then you can use the 's' and |

|
974 | 'd' keys for searching for and |
|
|
975 | disarming traps. |

978 | open them up. Search by going near where you suspect a trap, and type 's' |
