// to use this file, add -Cconfig/servercmdline.txt to your servers commandline
//
// * you can't use cubescript here!
// * everything after '//' in a line will be ignored
// * one commandline parameter per line only
// * you have to use the '-' characters for the switches
// * you can separate the switch and it's argument by whitespace
//
// see docs/commandline.html for full parameter descriptions

// example MOTD:
-o \f3server using example cmdline file (config/servercmdline.txt)\n\f2feel free
to change this :)

// -kl // lag prevention vs client trust

// --demotimestampformat="%H%M_%Y%m%d" // default: "%Y%m%d_%H%M"

// -u // uprate
// -i // ip, only for machines with multiple network interfaces
// -m // masterserver URL (exception: use "-m localhost", if you don't want AC
to register at a masterserver at all)
