Who is on

Accounts

Every account the server has a file for. Bans and silences take effect immediately, and a duration is 30m, 6h, 2d, 1w or perm.

What the server says

Three files that exist to be edited. The message of the day is shown to everybody who signs in; the rules and the beta notice are the two tick boxes on the make-an-account form.

Map descriptions

The first line is the title. Everything else is read to the player. Saving rewrites the text file on the server and re-reads every description, so it is live at once — in the game and on the maps page.

Staff and logins

staff.ini is the rank and web_admins.ini is only a password. Somebody taken off the staff list keeps their password and can sign in to nothing, which is the point: there is one list of who runs this server.

The log

One file a day, and the end of it rather than the beginning — a log is read to find out what just happened.

The server

Re-read files from disk

For when a file has been edited on the machine itself.

Matches

Ending one finishes it for everybody in it. A Sprawl is a place rather than a match and cannot be ended.
