       -playerWallBounceType or wallBounceType <integer>

              What kind of ship wall bounces to use.

              A value of 0 gives the old XPilot wall bounces, where  the  ship
              velocity  in the direction perpendicular to the wall is reversed
              after which the velocity is  multiplied  by  the  value  of  the
              playerWallBounceBrakeFactor option.

              A value of 1 gives the "separate multipliers" implementation.

              A  value  of  2 causes Mara’s suggestion for the speed change in
              the direction parallel to the wall  to  be  used.   Vtangent2  =
              (1-Vnormal1/Vtotal1*wallfriction)*Vtangent1

              A  value  of  3  causes  Uau’s suggestion to be used: change the
              parallel one by MIN(C1*perpendicular_change,  C2*parallel_speed)
              if you assume the wall has a coefficient of friction C1.  .

       -playerWallBounceBrakeFactor or playerWallBrake <real>

              Factor  to slow down ship in direction perpendicular to the wall
              when a wall is hit (0 to 1).

       -playerBallBounceBrakeFactor or playerBallBrake <real>

              Elastic or inelastic properties of the player-ball  collision  1
              means fully elastic, 0 fully inelastic.

       -playerWallFriction or wallFriction <real>

              Player-wall friction (0 to 1).

       -objectWallBounceBrakeFactor or objectWallBrake <real>

              Factor to slow down objects when they hit the wall (0 to 1).

       -objectWallBounceLifeFactor <real>

              Factor to reduce the life of objects after bouncing (0 to 1).

       -afterburnerPowerMult or afterburnerPower <real>

              Multiplication factor for afterburner power.

       -wallBounceDestroyItemProb <real>

              when the player bounces against a wall.

       -/+reportToMetaServer or reportMeta

              defaults ]

       -/+searchDomainForXPilot

              Search  the  local domain for the existence of xpilot.domain?  [
              Flags: command, defaults ]

       -denyHosts <string>

              List of network addresses of computers which are denied service.
              Addresses  may  be  followed  by  a slash and a network mask.  [
              Flags: command, defaults ]

       -/+limitedVisibility

              Should the players have a limited visibility?

       -minVisibilityDistance or minVisibility <real>

              Minimum block distance for limited visibility, 0 for default.

       -maxVisibilityDistance or maxVisibility <real>

              Maximum block distance for limited visibility, 0 for default.

       -/+limitedLives

              Should players have limited lives?  See also worldLives.

       -worldLives or lives <integer>

              Number of lives each player has (no sense without limitedLives).

       -/+reset

              Does  the  world  reset  when the end of round is reached?  When
              true all mines, missiles, shots and explosions will  be  removed
              from  the  world and all players including the winner(s) will be
              transported back  to  their  homebases.   This  option  is  only
              effective when limitedLives is turned on.

       -resetOnHuman or humanReset <integer>

              Normally,  new  players  have  to wait until a round is finished
              before they can start playing. With this  option,  the  first  N
              human players to enter will cause the round to be restarted.  In
              other words, if this option is set to 0, nothing special happens
              and you have to wait as usual until the round ends (if there are
              rounds at all, otherwise this option doesn’t do anything). If it
              is  set  to  1,  the  round is ended when the first human player
              enters. This is useful if the  robots  have  already  started  a
              round  and  you don’t want to wait for them to finish.  If it is
              set to 2, this also happens for the second human  player.   This
              is  useful when you got bored waiting for another player to show
              up and have started playing against  the  robots.  When  someone
              finally joins you, they won’t have to wait for you to finish the
              round before they can play too. For higher numbers it works  the
              same.  So  this  option gives the last human player for whom the
              round is restarted. Anyone who enters after that  does  have  to
              wait until the round is over.

       -/+allowAlliances or alliances

              Are  alliances  between  players  allowed?   Alliances  are like
              teams, except they can be formed  and  dissolved  at  any  time.
              Notably,  teamImmunity  works  for  alliances  too.   To  manage
              alliances, use the ’/ally’ talk command: ’/ally  invite  <player
              name>’  to invite another player to join you.  ’/ally cancel’ to
              cancel such an invitation.   ’/ally  refuse  <player  name>’  to
              decline  an invitation from a player.  ’/ally refuse’ to decline
              all the invitations you received.  ’/ally accept <player  name>’
              to  join  the  other  player.   ’/ally accept’ to accept all the
              invitations you received.  ’/ally leave’ to leave  the  alliance
              you  are  currently  in.  ’/ally list’ lists the members of your
              current alliance.  If members from different alliances join, all
              their allies do so.

       -/+announceAlliances

              Are  changes  in  alliances  made public?  If this option is on,
              changes in alliances are sent to all players and  all  alliances
              are shown in the score list. Invitations for alliances are never
              sent to anyone but the invited players.

              to    a    value    greater    than    maxCannonShotLife,   then
              maxCannonShotLife will be set to that same value.

       -maxCannonShotLife <real>

              Maximum life of cannon shots, measured in ticks.  If this is set

       -/+baselessPausing

              Should  paused  players  keep  their bases?  Can only be used on
              teamplay maps for now.

       -survivalScore <real>

              Multiplicator for quadratic score increase  over  time  survived
              with lowered shield

       -blockFriction <real>

              Fraction  of  velocity  ship  loses  each  frame  when  it is in
              friction blocks.

       -/+blockFrictionVisible

              Are friction blocks visible?  If true, friction blocks  show  up
              as decor; if false, they don’t show up at all.

       -coriolis <real>

              The  clockwise  angle  (in degrees) a ship’s velocity turns each
              time unit.

       -checkpointRadius <real>

              How close you have to be  to  a  checkpoint  to  register  -  in
              blocks.

              How many laps per race.

       -/+loseItemDestroys

              Destroy item that player drops. Otherwise drop it.

       -/+useDebris

              Are  debris  particles  created where appropriate?  Value affect
              ship exhaust sparks and cluster  debris.   To  disallow  cluster
              weapons but not sparks, set allowClusters off.

       -/+useWreckage

              Do destroyed ships leave wreckage?

       -maxOffensiveItems <integer>

              How many offensive items a player can carry.

       The number of rounds to play.
              Unlimited if 0.

       -maxVisibleObject or maxVisibleObjects <integer>

              What is the maximum number of objects a player can see.

       -/+pLockServer

              Whether  the  server  is  prevented  from  being  swapped out of
              memory.  [ Flags: command, defaults ]

       -/+sound

              Does the server send sound events to players that request sound.

       -timerResolution <integer>

              If  set  to nonzero xpilots will requests signals from the OS at
              1/timerResolution  second  intervals.   The  server  will   then
              compute  a  new  frame  FPS  times  out of every timerResolution
              signals.  [ Flags: command, defaults ]

       -password <string>

              The password needed to obtain operator privileges.  If specified
              on the command line, on many systems other users will be able to
              see the password.  Therefore, using the password file instead is
              recommended.    [   Flags:   command,   passwordfile,  defaults,
              invisible ]

       -clientPortStart <integer>

              Use UDP ports clientPortStart - clientPortEnd (for firewalls)  [
              Flags: command, defaults ]

       -clientPortEnd <integer>

              Use  UDP ports clientPortStart - clientPortEnd (for firewalls) [
              Flags: command, defaults ]

       -maxPauseTime <integer>

              The maximum time a player  can  stay  paused  for,  in  seconds.
              After  being  paused  this  long, the player will be kicked off.
              Setting this option to 0 disables the feature.

       -maxIdleTime <integer>

              The maximum time a player can  stay  idle,  in  seconds.   After
              having idled this long, the player will be paused.  Setting this
              option to 0 disables the feature.

       -maxClientsPerIP or maxPerIP <integer>

              Maximum number of clients per IP  address  allowed  to  connect.
              This  prevents  unfriendly players from occupying all the bases,
              effectively "kicking" paused players and denying  other  players
              to join.  Setting this to 0 means any number of clients from the
              same IP address can join.  [ Flags: command, defaults ]

       -playerLimit <integer>

              Allow playerLimit players to enter at once.  If set to 0,  allow
              10  more  players  than there are bases.  (If baselessPausing is
              off, more than bases cannot enter.)  During game, cannot be  set
              higher than the starting value.

       -recordMode <integer>

              If this is set to 1 when the server starts, the game is saved in
              the file specified by recordFileName. If set to  2  at  startup,
              the  server  replays  the  recorded  game.  Joining  players are
              spectators  who  can  watch  the  recorded  game  from  anyone’s
              viewpoint.  Can  be  set  to  0  in  the  middle  of  a  game to
              stoprecording.  [ Flags: command, defaults, invisible ]

       -recordFileName or recordFile <string>

              Name of the file where server recordings are  saved.   [  Flags:
              command, defaults, invisible ]

       -recordFlushInterval or recordWait <integer>

              If set to a nonzero value x, the server will flush all recording
              data in memory to the record file at least once every x seconds.
              This  is useful if you want to replay the game on another server
              while it is still being played. There is a small overhead  (some
              dozens of bytes extra recording file size) for each flush.

       -/+constantScoring

              Whether the scores given from various things are fixed.

       -/+zeroSumScoring or zeroSum

              Use Zero sum scoring?  [ Flags: command ]

       -/+elimination

              Race mode where the last player drops out each lap.

       -dataURL <string>

              URL where the client can get extra data for this map.

       -/+polygonMode

              Force  use  of polygon protocol when communicating with clients?
              (useful for debugging if you want to see the polygons created in
              the blocks to polygons conversion function).

       -/+fastAim

              When  calculating  a  frame,  turn the ship before firing.  This
              means you can change aim one frame faster.  Added this option to
              see how much difference changing the order would make.

       -/+ngControls

              Enable improved precision steering and aiming of main gun.

       -/+legacyMode

              Try to emulate classic xpilot behavior.

       -constantSpeed or oldThrust <real>

              Make  ship  move  forward at a constant speed when thrust key is
              held down, in addition to the normal acceleration. The  constant
              speed  is proportional to the product of the acceleration of the
              ship (varying with ship mass and afterburners) and the value  of
              this  option.  Note that this option is quite unphysical and can
              using it can cause weird effects  (with  bounces  for  example).
              Low  values  close to 0.5 (maybe in the range 0.3 to 1) for this
              option can be used if you want to increase ship agility  without
              increasing  speeds  otherwise.  This  can  improve  gameplay for
              example on the Blood’s Music map. Higher values  make  the  ship
              behaviour visibly weird.

       -turnPushPersistence or pushPersist <real>

              How much of the turnpush to remain as player velocity. (0.0-1.0)

       -turnGrip or turnPushGrip <real>

              How much of of the turnPush should pull  the  ship  sideways  by
              gripping to the friction of the wall?. (0.0-1.0)

       -thrustWidth or sprayWidth <real>

              Width of thrust spark spray 0.0-1.0 where 1.0 means 180 degrees.

       -thrustMass or sparkWeight <real>

              Weight of thrust sparks.

       -sparkSpeed or sparkVel <real>

              Multiplier  affecting  avg.  speed  (relative  ship)  of  thrust
              sparks.

       -/+ballStyles

              Send ball styles to clients.

       -/+ignoreMaxFPS

              Ignore  client maxFPS requests and always send all frames.  This
              is a hack for  demonstration  purposes  to  allow  changing  the
              server  FPS  when  there  are  old  clients  with  broken maxFPS
              handling. Those clients could be better dealt  with  separately.
              This option will be removed in the future (hopefully).

       -pausedFramesPerSecond or pausedFPS <integer>

              Maximum  FPS  shown  to  paused players. 0 means full framerate.
              Can be used to reduce server bandwidth consumption.

       -waitingFramesPerSecond or waitingFPS <integer>

              Maximum FPS shown to players in waiting  state.   0  means  full
              framerate. Can be used to limit bandwidth used.  Waiting players
              are those that have just joined a game and have  to  wait  until
              next  round  starts.  Note that in clients, a W is shown next to
              waiting players’ names in the score list.

       -deadFramesPerSecond or deadFPS <integer>

              Maximum FPS shown to  players  in  dead  state.   0  means  full
              framerate.  Can  be  used  to limit bandwidth used.  This option
              should only be used if pausedFPS and  waitingFPS  options  don’t
              limit  bandwidth usage enough.  Dead players are those that have
              played this round but have  run  out  of  lives.  Note  that  in
              clients,  a  D is shown next to dead players’ names in the score
              list.

       -/+teamcup

              Is this a teamcup match?.  [ Flags: command, any, invisible ]

       -teamcupName <string>

              The name of the teamcup (used  only  if  teamcup  is  true).   [
              Flags: command, any, invisible ]

       -teamcupMailAddress <string>

              The  mail  address  where  players should send match results.  [
              Flags: command, any, invisible ]

       -teamcupScoreFileNamePrefix <string>

              First part of file name for  teamcup  score  files.   The  whole
              filename  will  be  this followed by the match number.  [ Flags:
              command, any, invisible ]

       -teamcupMatchNumber or match <integer>

              The number of the teamcup match.  [ Flags: command ]

       -mainLoopTime <real>

              Duration of last Main_loop() function  call  (in  milliseconds).
              This option is read only.  [ Flags: command ]

       -cellGetObjectsThreshold or cellThreshold <integer>

              Use Cell_get_objects if there is this many objects or more.

              The  probabilities  are in the range [0.0-1.0] and they refer to
              the probability that an event will occur in a block per  second.
              Boolean options are turned off by using +<option>.
