Hey, I was talking to the lobsters, since gomes and i wanted were going to redo the lobster cage fortress server, they were wondering if we could make it a sumo server, I said I would try and get the code for it.

Before I do this, I'm asking permission first, I'd like to know if it is ok if I take the code, it will not be a clone, but the sumo part will be there.

Please let me know If I am permitted to do this before I go any further than to think about it.

? Take the code.... as in, use the config that ships with the game?

In examples there's the existing sumo settings. Just start with that, no need to do anything as weird and time-consuming as going to sumo and trying to copy by hand all the settings that are there. Especially when they ship with the game.

It's also the only way to make sure you get them all, a lot of the settings are server-side only and don't get sent to your client.

Yeah, we're trying to include config snippets so people can setup servers faster. I would expect that to grow over time in newer versions, even if we change the config format/method. There's just too damn many settings, it's intimidating to set up, but we all want them.
