# UDP OPTIONS:
#tryUdp
# on/off
tryUdp:                 on

# udpClientSend
# 0 -- TCP only
# 1 -- simple UDP
# 2 -- enforced UDP (state only)
# 3 -- enforced UDP (state & weap)
udpClientSend:          3

# udpClientReceive
# 0 -- TCP only
# 1 -- simple UDP
# 2 -- fat UDP
# 3 -- double UDP
udpClientReceive:       1

# udpSequenceCheck
# on/off
udpSequenceCheck:       on

# udpDebug:
# 0 -- OFF
# 1 -- ON (conect msgs only)

	YOU PLAY ON COLOR ???  YOU MUST GO TO A REEEEEEEEEAL SCHOOL, NOT
	A SECOND RATE SCHOOL LIKE OSU. WE HAVE NO 24 HOUR LABS, NO COLOR
	SUNS FOR UNDERGRADS. ANYWAY, TRY THESE DEFAULT SELECTIONS, THE
	(CLIENT/SERVER  ??????) AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNS PLANETS/SHIPS A COLOR.
	( i played on a color HP once...reeeeeeeeeeeal cool!! )

# color selection
color.white:            black
color.black:            white
color.red:              red
color.green:            green
color.yellow:           yellow
color.cyan:             cyan
color.light grey:       light grey

	I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT ORANGE LOOKS BETTER THAN RED. THOSE
	WHO PLAY ON COLOR CAN SUGGEST BETTER.

	????????? IF THE BASIC COLOR-MAP IN YOUR .XTREKRC FILE ISN'T UP
	TO PAR, REMOVE THE COLOR ASSIGN STATEMENTS AND RECEIVE THE DEFAULT
	FROM THE SERVER.
