ban_file
List of client IPs and user names to ban. Probably only useful if the user owns and deploys a dedicated IP.
dm_file
List of NAMES : PASSWORDS : HOSTS for Dungeon Masters.
exp_table
Large comma separated list of numbers to reach levels. The default ends at level 115. Just add some more numbers, and there will be higher levels or delete some zeros at the end of thy numbers, and become a hero very fast.
The sever has no possibility to be started with some -easy, -medium, -hard, -extreme parameters.
forbid
Is it a new version of the ban_file ? - NO ! it should be named closing_hours !
Syntax : DAY_NAME HOUR-HOUR
Example : Sat 22-24
Seems to accept single numbers without the need for HH like '07' . Not sure about midnight …
Informational Files
Send to the client, when the client connects to the server.
Might print a lot of messages. They are easier to read, when the gtk+-1 client works in “split Windows” and-or “Splash Window” and-or “Popup Windows” modes that pop up an extra login-window.
motd
Motto Of The Day - simple text file.
news
Simple text file send to players when they connect. Headline functionality.
rules
Simple text file, that accepts some kind of html-formatting like [B]BIG[/B] .
Printed in the message window of the client, when it connects, and before the user logs on.
