.TH Command SHAREBMAP
|
|
.NA sharebmap "Share parts of your bmap with another country"
|
|
.LV Expert
|
|
.SY "sharebmap <CNUM/CNAME> <SECTS> [<des>]"
|
|
This command will share all of the information on your bmap with the
|
|
country <CNUM/CNAME>. In order for it to work, they must be friendly
|
|
towards you and your bmaps must already overlap to some extent. Note
|
|
that your 'working' bmaps are not compared for this, but rather your 'true' bmaps. In particular, you can not fool the game into thinking
|
|
that your bmaps overlap through using the 'bdes' command. See the
|
|
bottom of 'info bmap' for an explanation of the difference between
|
|
your 'working' and your 'true' bmap.
|
|
.s1
|
|
When sectors owned by you get transferred to your friend's bmap, they
|
|
will be replaced with the first letter of your country name
|
|
(capitalized), the only exception being harbors and bridges which will
|
|
always be transmitted. Also, if you want to send them the location of
|
|
owned sectors having a certain designation you can specify that using
|
|
the optional <des> argument. For example if your country name was
|
|
"TheScum" and you typed:
|
|
.EX "sharebmap Fodderland #1 j"
|
|
then all of your bmap would be added to Fodderland's bmap, with sectors
|
|
owned by you replaced with 'T', except for your '=', 'h', and 'j'
|
|
sectors which would be sent as is.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that the destination bmap will only be changed if in that
|
|
location there was a '?', a '.', a ' ', or the first letter
|
|
of your country name (capitalized). Thus, the receiving country will
|
|
not loose any information in this exchange.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that the sharebmap command only changes your 'working' bmap and
|
|
so you can delete sharebmap information from your bmap by typing:
|
|
.EX "bmap revert"
|
|
See 'info bmap' for more details.
