New rcon variables in SAMP 0.3. What do they do?
#1

I've noticed some new rcon console variables in 0.3, like: bind,myriad,nosign,output,sleep and some other. What do those new ones do? Does anybody know? Thanks for any responses

The "bind", "myriad" and "nosign" variables have been in since 0.2X and possibly earlier.
"bind [IP]" is to make the server visible on a specific IP if there are multiple IP's on a network card.
"myriad [0/1]" is to enable some "Myriad Islands" mod, it seems to be an old thing.
I'm not sure what "nosign" is, however setting it in server.cfg doesn't seem to have any effect.

I'm not sure what "output" is either, it seems to be new to 0.3a.
The "sleep" variable is something to do with how long the server sleeps, though I'm not sure when this takes effect. Apparently setting it to a higher value (eg. 10) uses less CPU power. Kye and Trix commented on IRC:

[07:13] <@Kye> the server sleeps for 10ms instead of 5ms
[07:13] <@Kye> but that means the minimum ping for a player is 10ms

Kye's response, "the server sleeps for 10ms instead of 5ms", was, obviously, for setting the variable as "sleep 10" in server.cfg.

Maybe output has something to do with log files.
