Complete coverage of the game basics and how to connect to a server are given in the manual pages for _x_p_i_l_o_t(_6). OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss This section only describes the main options. For a list of all options, try xxxxppppiiiilllloooottttssss ----hhhheeeellllpppp. ----mmmmaaaapppp _m_a_p-_n_a_m_e This option allows you to select the map you will use for this server. If it is omitted, you will have to manage with a computer generated random map. For instructions on how to create a map, see below. For example if ----mmmmaaaapppp bbbbllllaaaacccckkkkhhhhoooolllleeee or the equivalent ----mmmmaaaapppp bbbbllllaaaacccckkkkhhhhoooolllleeee....mmmmaaaapppp is passed as command line arguments, the server will try to locate a file called bbbbllllaaaacccckkkkhhhhoooolllleeee....mmmmaaaapppp in the current directory, or in a predefined directory (default is /usr/local/games/lib/xpilot/maps/). ----hhhheeeellllpppp Prints a short help, including the supported commandline options. ----vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn Prints the current version. ----nnnnooooqqqquuuuiiiitttt If this option is specified, xpilots won't Page 1 XPilot Release 3.0: July 1993 XXXXPPPPIIIILLLLOOOOTTTTSSSS((((6666))))UUUUNNNNIIIIXXXX SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm VVVV ((((RRRReeeeqqqquuuuiiiirrrreeeessss UUUUDDDDPPPP////IIIIPPPP aaaannnndddd TTTThhhheeee XXXX WWWWiiiinnnnddddoooowwww SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm))))XXXXPPPPIIIILLLLOOOOTTTTSSSS((((6666)))) quit when the last human player exits. ----rrrraaaawwwwmmmmooooddddeeee If this option is specified, xpilots doesn't go to sleep when there are no human players logged into the game.

A value of -1 will fill the entire server with robots. Note however that there will always be room for one new player, the robots will be kicked out of the game to accomodate for new players, they will also enter the game when there is space for them.

Currently, this command does not stop the player from re-joining the game. Hopefully, however, he or she would have learned their lesson. llll Lock/unlock the game. This prevents other users from joining the game. dddd Shutdown/cancel shutdown. This command will ask for a reason and a shutdown delay (in seconds) and transmit these to the server. A timer will appear showing how much time is left before the game goes down. If you don't specify a delay, you will be canceling an already initiated shutdown.
