      How do you expect people to know what commands are available, there is no information available anywhere i looked. If you replace existing plugins and then create a new plugin at least make a thread that explains the functionality and commands of that new plugins.

      Like all configurable plugins it contains a settings file which explains all options. Writing documentation is boring so I won't do it. Feel free to help out, that's what wikis are for :)

        I was thinking more along the lines of an in game help command like: //config help which lists the config options. That is just good programming style and has nothing to do with writing documentations. No one can remember the options when they are called:

         

        MapDrawDistance

        MobDrawDistance

        AnimationFrameRate

        FrameRateDivisor

         

        Like any good command line script in unix, a help command is really not too much to ask.

         

        PS: If you are really in Munich we should meet as i live there too.

        We should! I'm going to see the Alan Turing movie tonight if you wanna come :D (Mathaeser 23.00)

         

        I actually have a version of the Config plugin that does just that. I didn't push it yet because I had to rewrite our settings handler (there was no way to iterate all settings before and I don't wanna manually maintain a help list, which is why I didn't do it before). I'm still testing it but it should be out tomorrow if this goes well.

            And the setting file is not very clear. As with most of these.
