Alti+ Maps
Alti+ maps can have a special file named plus.txt contained in them. If this file exists, it is used to configure the server. Other than that, they are normal Altitude maps. To get an idea of the different types of games avaialable on Alti+ server, see the original Alti+ Forum Thread. Visit the Altitude Map Archive to search for maps.
