Server Configuration Settings

[Guest]

Could someone briefly point me in the direction as to how to best configure
a server for one update a day at a designated time. Do you leave the
"BLITZ" server option enable?

Thanks, Kelly

(I'm referring to "econfig" here, not "build.conf" . . .)

To have one update a day at a set time, change update_policy and
uptime_times. For example, for retro:

# 0 - normal, 1 - update_times, 2 - blitz, 3 - demand only
update_policy 1

# Number of ETUs per update
etu_per_update 24

# Times when updates occur under policy #1. Must coincide with schedule.
update_times "13:55"

"option BLITZ" just means that food won't be required and BTU's get reset
to the maximum each time the player logs in. Check out "info Options" to
see what all of the options mean.

It also lets players see who's logged in, which is quite inappropriate
for a `real' game.

Ah ha! Is it the "BLITZ" setting then that let's me see who is logged on?

Thanks, Kelly

And the BLITZ setting allows use of the "sanc" command.

Precisely.
