# Makes death non permanent. If enabled and you die, you lose a bunch of

# exp, a random stat, and go back to starting town.

# If not defined, if you die, you are dead. If an a multiplayer server,

# resurrection may be possible

# This option changes the game significantly one way or the other - it makes

# adventuring right at the edge of death something more reasonable to do

# (death still hurts here). On the other hand, it certainly makes the

# game a bit safer and easier.

not_permadeth true

# define resurrection if you want to let players bring other players

# back to life via some spells. If resurrection is undefined, then a

# death is permanent. NOTE: resurrection (either defined or undefined)

# has no meaning if not_permadeth is true.

resurrection false

# set the following if you wish to allow players to set their title

# and to save it on the disk. There really isn't much reason not

# allow players to set this.

set_title true

# Enables the 'search-item command; a method to find equipment

# in shops. Like set_title, probably no reason to ever disable this.

search_items true

# SPELL_ENCUMBRANCE -- If you're carrying a weapon or wearing heavy armour,

# you have a chance of fumbling your spellcasting with this on. More

# armors/weapons, higher chance of failure. If this is false, then

# you can basically always cast a spell, no matter what you are wearing.

spell_encumbrance true

# spell_failure_effects only has meaing if spell_encumbrance is true.

# What it does, is that when the player fails a spell, various effects

# will happen (player is paralyzed, confused, wonder spell is cast, etc.)

# I disabled it because I think it would make life much too hazardous

# for low level casters. They either need to wear light armor (which

# means that they will get pounded on by monsters), or will get

# confused/paralyzed/other effects often. High level casters would

# be mostly unaffected, since they would be casting spells that are

# below their level.

# Note- it seems that you still get some failur effects even with this

# not defined - most notably when reading scrolls and fail to read

# them properly.

spell_failure_effects false

# casting times for spells, if you have this defined then it takes a

# specific amount of time for a spell to go off. You may attack or

# be hit during this time, and this will cause you to lose the spell.

# I commented this out on my copy - I don't like the 'double clutch'

# needed to cast it (first direction key starts casting, the

# next actually puts the spell into effect.) It could perhaps

# be changed so that the initial direction is where it goes, and it

# is cast automatically in that direction (so only 1 key is needed.)

# But this could be undesirable as various things move while you cast it.

# this also slows down the rate you can cast spells considerably.

casting_time false

# Name of the motd file - really no reason to change this.

motd motd

# Calling this real_Wiz is probably not really good. Something like

# mud_wiz might be a better name.

# Basically, if real_wiz is set then the WIZ/WAS_WIZ flags for objects

# are not set - instead, wizard created/manipulated objects appear as

# normal objects. This makes the wizard a little more mudlike, since

# object manipulations will be usable for other objects.

real_wiz true

# Set this if you want the temporary maps to be saved and reused across

# crossfire runs. This can be especially useful for single player

# servers, but even holds use for multiplayer servers - you can

# restart a public server, and not have all the maps reset

# The file temp_maps is updated each time a temp map is updated.

# Note that the file used to store this information is stored in

# the LIB directory. Running multiple crossfires with the same LIB

# directory will cause serious problems, simply because in order for

# this to really work, the filename must be constant so the next run

# knows where to find the information.

recycle_tmp_maps false

# spellpoint_level_depend -- Causes the spellpoint cost

# of spells to vary with their power. Spells that become very

# powerful at high level cost more. The damage/time of

# characters increases though.

spellpoint_level_depend true

# This should only be set on private single player servers - basically,

# it lets you wander around with no penalty if you die, but otherwise

# doesn't give any extra powers, like the wiz has. If in explore

# mode, your characters score is not recorded. However, to prevent

# abuses, if in explore mode, no other players can join (as they

# would not be in explore mode, so they could be abused by a player

# in explore mode.

explore_mode false

# Set this to false if you don't want characters to loose a random stat when

# they die - instead, they just get depleted.

# Setting it to true keeps the old behaviour. This can be

# changed at run time via -stat_loss_on_death or +stat_loss_on_death.

stat_loss_on_death false

use_permanent_experience false

# This makes repeated stat loss at lower levels more mercifull. Basically,

# the more stats you have lost, the less likely that

# you will lose more. Additionally, lower level characters are shown

# a lot more mercy (there are caps on how much of a stat you can lose too).

# On the nasty side, if you are higher level, you can lose mutiple stats

# _at_once_ and are shown less mercy when you die. But when you're higher

# level, it is much easier to buy back your stats with potions.

# Turn this on if you want death-based stat loss to be more merciful

# at low levels and more cruel at high levels.

# Only works when stats are depleted rather than lost. This option has

# no effect if you are using genuine stat loss.

balanced_stat_loss false

# This allows players to build up a small amount of 'permanent

# experience' which reduces the effect of large experience drains, such as

# death. This makes multiple frequent deaths less devastating, and also

# ensures that any character will make some gradual progress even if they

# die all of the time.

# A nice option if your keep dying due to massive client/server lags despite

# playing well... or you like to swim well outside of your depth. :)

use_permanent_experience false
