=============================================================================


Setting up a server:
--------------------
For setting up a dedicated server, simply copy the anserver.bat into your Quake 2 root dir and run it from there.
For customizing your server you can modify the server.cfg in your Annihilate! dir.


Weapon Bans:
------------
New in version 1.6 is that every weapon except the Blaster can be banned from a map by the server. This may be
necessary if the server gets too laggy because of the huge amount of entities created by several weapons (e.g.
double gatling). Setting one of the cvars to 1 bans a weapon, a value of 0 indicates that the weapon will spawn
in the map. The cvars are as follows:

sv_ban_plasmagun
sv_ban_shockrifle
sv_ban_sniperrifle
sv_ban_gatling
sv_ban_doublegatling
sv_ban_mortar
sv_ban_mines
sv_ban_rocketlauncher
sv_ban_flamethrower
sv_ban_railgun
sv_ban_bfg10k


Mine Die:
---------
In former versions of Annihilate! a planted mine existed as long as someone shot it or the map was restarted. This
can now be changed with the sv_mine_die cvar. If you want a mine to be killed after a certain time, simply set the
cvar to any value different from 0 (per default it is 60 which means a mine disappears after one minute).


Lights:
-------
The new server variable sv_lightsout handles the lighting of a map. Every map can be played standard with normal
light (sv_lightsout 0), "in the evening" with dim light (sv_lightsout 1) or "at night" with almost no light
(sv_lightsout 2).


Note:
-----
All of these server commands can easily be modified by editing the server.cfg in your anni folder. Flamethrower
and mines are turned off by default since there were some people reporting crashes when using one of these
weapons. However, there are lots of people having no crashes at all, so you might want to turn the ban of the
flamethrower and the mines off again. If you want your server to be 100% stable, keep them banned until there is
a patch fixing the issues.


Most of the server settings require a map restart after you change them.

If you have problems running a server or need further assistance feel free to contact me.
