====== Config.h ======

The file //config.h// is to be found in the //include// directory of the server source. \\

It contains many variables, that can be manually adjusted.


**Note:** The file //autoconf.h// contains all the variable defines, that were found or passed to the ./configure script.


===== TMPDIR ==

When configuring the server with a --prefix=/path variable, the TMPDIR still uses the definitions of the config.h file.

This is a bit unfortunate, because it prevents to run the server on multiple instances, \\
since the temporary map names would all be shared in the fixed location at **/tmp** for Linux.

If it is planned to add a --prefix to configure, then before running ''make'' it is probably useful \\
to adjust the TMPDIR variable to match --prefix .

Example: ./configure --prefix=/usr/games/crossfire-1.70.0 \\
should then make TMPDIR look as
''#define TMPDIR "/usr/games/crossfire-1.70.0/tmp"''

After ''make && make install'' then this TMPDIR needs to be manually created with the proper permissions.
<code bash>
mkdir  /usr/games/crossfire-1.70.0/tmp
</code>

===== LOGFILE ==

As it is with the variable [[#TMPDIR]] , the LOGFILE variable is fixed set in config.h .

Despite the fact, that LOCALDIR would use the --prefix parameter in {prefix}/var , \\
the LOGFILE variable does not use {prefix} :-( .

On Linux the LOGFILE variable is by default set to ''#define LOGFILE "/var/log/crossfire/logfile"'' ; \\
Which then may need to create the // /var/log/crossfire// directory manually ( with proper permissions ) .

If it is planned to add a --prefix to configure, then before running ''make'' it is probably useful \\
to adjust the LOGFILE variable to match --prefix .

Example: ./configure --prefix=/usr/games/crossfire-1.70.0 \\
should then make LOGFILE look as
''#define LOGFILE "/usr/games/crossfire-1.70.0/var/log/crossfire-server-1.70.0.log"''

===== mapsize ==
The server has two pre-defined maximum mapsize values to send to the client : **MAP_CLIENT_X** and **MAP_CLIENT_Y** . \\
It is unfortunately not possible to set those in the //etc/crossfire/settings// file.
<code c>
#define MAP_CLIENT_X    25
#define MAP_CLIENT_Y    25
</code>

Since the client supports a maximum of 31, it might be advised to set these two values to 31 also, \\
especially for local servers just consuming loop back (inerface lo) bandwidth.

===== NEW_MATERIAL_CODE ==
When this variable is enabled, the material of an item is displayed in the user's inventory and look window:
<code c>
 #define NEW_MATERIAL_CODE 1
</code>
