 +=== 3.5.1 What does "​killed by a dungeon collapse"​ message mean in the hiscore list? ===
 +
 +When checking the higscore list in the game, you may see a listing like this:
 +
 +  36  351708075 Asgoth the human was killed by a dungeon collapse on map Reception, Fire Level 3 <​299><​246><​76>​
 +
 +First, the player has not actually died! So, no loss of experience or stat points happened.
 +
 +This message could mean any of the following:
 +  * The map was reset while the player was disconnected to the server
 +  * The player left the game without use a Bed to Reality
 +  * FIXME - other events cause this?

-==== 4.5 Why when I try to launch the server, I see a message about the port already in use? ====+==== 4.5 How can I tell what version a server is running using Metaserver info? ==== 
 + 
 +Check the website for any of the available metaservers. In the Version column, you will see information such as: 
 + 
 +  1.12-beta-r17660M  
 +   
 +  Or 
 +   
 +  v1.75.0-1046-gc8d4b6 
 +  
 +The first set of digits relates to the tagged release (i.e., 1.12 or 1.75.0) 
 + 
 +The middle number of informationi (i.e. 1046) includes a commit number. FIXME - This is the number of commits since the tagged version release. That way the versions can still be sorted in chronological order 
 + 
 +The last string of text indicates a subversion (marked with a '​r'​) commit (i.e. r17660M) while the letter '​g'​ indicates a git commit (i.e, gc8d4b6). Note: The project is no longer using subversion 
 + 
 +To look up the specific git commit related to that version, exclude the letter '​g'​ from your search. 
 +So release gc8d4b6 would be commit [[https://​sourceforge.net/​p/​crossfire/​crossfire-server/​ci/​c8d4b6aabeb3d9ef5b982bbc13b8b404f1269b0c/​|c8d4b6]]

 +==== 4.6 Why when I try to launch the server, I see a message about the port already in use? ====
