Server Command Line Arguments

The server can be run with the command twistd mv3d. The following arguments are available. All are optional.

-c or --config--file <filename.conf>

Load a config file.

-n #

When used with -i, sets the number of player objects to create.

-C #

When used with -i, sets the number of cube objects to create.

-i or --initialize

Initialize the server and create a basic world.

-d

Disable all objects that are added via -n or -C

-t size

When used with -i, replace the flat ground with a terrain that includes size*size terrain objects. Each terrain object is 1000*1000 units. A good number is 10 or 15 here. 20 or 25 are probably maximum as that makes a very large area.

--perlin=false

Used with -t. Causes the heightmap to be read from a file. The GD Python Library is required (though maybe this has been converted to PIL?). The file heightmap_257x257.png will be read for the heightmap.
